• Great fresh produce section and vegan goods

I was pleased to find this store here in Bradenton. I do prefer to support small independent shops, although I was struggling to find fresh organic produce for our trip on the nearby Anna Maria Island, so I thought I'd check it out. It turned out to be a real gem, when I was really short of good organic fresh foods. It's got tonnes of stuff for vegans too - pretty much everything I could want (although I did enjoy visiting the nearby 'Richards Emporium' health food shop, for other vegan goods - just to make sure that I was supporting a smaller store). The Fresh market has a massive selection of organic (and non-organic) fresh produce, some even being labelled as fair-trade too. I bought a cart full of fresh foods - (before quickly dashing past and ignoring the meat counters - the one downside of this place) and then found a few large isles well stocked with health food packed, bottled & tinned goods, nuts, seeds and bulk produce, coffees and a great choice of organic & non-organic frozen goods and chilled produce (like hummus and dips). This store is laid out in a really great way. It's inviting and easy to navigate.
