A Gem in the Middle of Nowhere 6/1/2025

By: Jennifer Richardson Holt A friend of mine from work recently discovered my favorite locally owned grocery store. He’d heard about it for ages—not just from me, but from nearly everyone within a sizeable radius. Calling it a “supermarket” feels a bit exaggerated; perhaps “weemarket” fits better.
