Fresh Thyme Farmer's Market had their grand opening June 22. The location is on Monroe Street, just west of Talmadge. 

I had heard about this market place through Jordan V, our social media manager. Tonight I had some free time so I stopped by. When you first walk in, at first glimpse, you see mostly produce. The store is very bright, upbeat, and has pretty big aisles so it's easy to navigate around. The prices for natural produce are quite good, while the organic produce is a little pricey. The store reminds me of Trader Joes, but with a more friendly feel and fresher atmosphere. Come check it out!

About Fresh Thyme:

Fresh. Healthy. Natural. It’s Thyme!
The foundation of healthy eating is often based on incorporating more fresh fruits and vegetables in our diets. Therefore, at the core of our offerings is an abundant produce department, overflowing with fruits and vegetables, fresh from the farm, often locally grown and much of it organic. We’re so passionate about produce that we’ve made it the nucleus of the store, ensuring the bounty of fruits and vegetables is visible from all other departments.

What does it really mean to have a healthy lifestyle? Juice House members help a local community member move in. They share smiles and laughter as they work together. Juice House videography captures these moments of a truly healthy living--one that isn't just about juicing or blending, but also about the times when we can slow down, look around, and truly enjoy what's around us.

Once upon a time, family farms were sprinkled across the rural landscape amongst wild, open spaces and thriving small towns that served the needs of farm families. This warmly appealing image still defines the American psyche and our vision of ourselves. However, this bucolic landscape has all but disappeared. In an alarmingly short period of time, chemical agriculture, and the factory farms it spawned, has almost obliterated the family farms that nourished our culture and has rendered them into nothing more than a sweet memory. We have all lost something very precious as a result – not only a way of life that defined us, but also a safe and healthy food supply, numerous biological species, undisturbed wildlife and aquatic habitats, clean air and safe drinking water.

Farming practices are some of the most significant influences on our health and the natural environment. In fact, the simple choice to eat certified organic food and food supplements might be more important to your health, your family’s health and the health of the planet than any other lifestyle choice you make. While there are numerous reasons for this, they can be sorted into two primary categories: the toxic trail and the vanishing nutrients. Both have enormous implications for your health and the health of the planet.
