Sometimes we step back and look at where we live and what that means.
We live in a food desert. Nothing but convenience stores in a five mile radius. You need bread? Lots of marshmallowy white breads at High’s and RoFo. Milk, OK, we can get that too, Produce? Nope!
No sidewalks. No mass transit. Drive to the nearest town if you need anything.
Yes, we are different from urban food deserts. We can easily get to fresh food suppliers if we want to drive 5-10 miles. Still. I miss that convenience. Living so close to multiple fresh food sources. Not here. Not until now.
Welcome to The Wheelhouse.
Located in Glenwood, we now have a market run by a local farm, all year round. Need celery to make a tuna salad? Yep. How about really good dairy?
South Mountain Creamery is there. Bread? Great Harvest.
Plus, they have take out goodies, like chicken salad. Pizza. They also sell sandwiches and salads.
This is an amazing small business, giving us healthier options for meals. I really hope they succeed. I try to get there at least once a week. Western Howard County needs to have a local source for fresh food.
If you live or work out here in the western part of our county, please try them.
