As you have seen, I have done a lot of food reviews. I thought I would switch gears for today and do a store review.
Today, my boyfriend and I went to Nature's Goods Market in Middlebury, Connecticut. It is a natural food and organic market/deli that happens to have gluten free items. The store was pretty crowded. Today, they had employees inviting customers to sample certain products. The employees talked a great deal about the product they were advertising. They seemed to know a great deal about the product.
The store has a great selection of gluten free food. They have all the famous brands (Udi's, Bob's Red Mill, Glutino, Three Bakers, etc. They even had brands that I had never even heard of.
The store also has a lot of gluten free shampoos, conditioners, lotions, body washes, styling gels, vitamins, supplements, etc.
Nature's Goods Market also has a deli with an amazing selection of gluten free food. Today, I bought a pound of gluten free chicken salad so I could make sandwiches this weekend.
When I went to go cash out, the clerk that rang me up was very nice. I told her that I really liked the store, and I asked her how long the store has been around. She told me the store has been around for almost 2 years. Along with my purchase, she threw in a sample packet of seaweed snacks (I wasn't really a fan of it). The prices in the store are a bit steep, so, if you're on a budget, spend your money wisely.
As far as the chicken salad is concerned, it was very very good. It paired well with my Rudi's multi-grain bread, and 2 slices of Boar's Head American Cheese.
Anyways, Celiacs, if you find yourself in the Waterbury, CT area, and you're looking for a place to shop at (or a bite to eat-they also sell gluten free sandwiches and wraps), check out Nature's Goods Market. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. It's a very customer service oriented place, which is something that I love in a store.
