Restaurant Tip!

Last night we stopped at Carrabba's restaurant in Manchester based on a list established by GIG (gluten intolerance group). For those folks who are able to eat anything- there are lots and lots of choices and there is a separate menu that is gluten free. We enjoyed it- nothing gourmet, but a good place to stop for a quick meal- especially when you have a young guest- we had Myles with us. I am usually very apprehensive and will only eat at a few select places- but I am glad that I gave it a try. Clearly, they understood the gluten free options and I did not get sick from cross contamination as I have at so many other places. Anyways- good recommendation for those who need it!

People have been stopping by, asking questions- wondering what exactly is "Nature's Grocer"? Now we're hoping that we may be able to do a little painting when the Thanksgiving crew arrives- hope some of you will be up for it!

Nauture's Grocer is coming soon....

Here's the banner that we hung up at the store front weeks ago- and now we're waiting for the construction to begin. Meanwhile we are behind the scenes leaving flyer's and providing goodies to a preschool family night and to a "No Rules" art show down at Jennie's. Response has been very positive- people can't wait to have a natural foods store this side of the river. At this point, we are thinking we will open in mid- January. Meantime I am looking through catalogues, talking to vendors and searching out locals who have a good product to sell. So far we have on board South Main Soaps and honey from Tolland. That part of the store I would like to continue to grow. I also plan to keep this updated as progress moves along. "Till then....
