In the past

few years, Fayette County has seen its number of grocery stores increase

Not too many

years ago, shoppers had a choice of Big Star in Peachtree City and A &

T in Fayetteville. But now, Kroger and Publix stores abound, and you can

even pick up groceries at Wal-Mart.

In addition

to the abundance of grocery stores, the number of specialty products available

at the stores has also exploded.

Walk into any

grocery store in the county and you're sure to find a Mexican section

with products that residents have never seen.

The newest

entry into the grocery wars is the Main Street Farmers Market, located

behind Arby's in the Main Street shopping center in Fayetteville.

I love this

store. It reminds me of a mini-DeKalb Farmers Market or the now-defunct

Harry's.

The store is

small, but the quality of items is amazing. Fresh-cut meats and poultry

are available at reasonable prices. Additionally, the store offers a nice

sampling of baked goods and exotic products from around the world to tempt

even the snobbiest foodie.

One of the

best qualities about the Farmers Market is its commitment to service.

In many of the larger chains, service is a four-letter word. But folks

at the Farmers Market are some of the friendliest-retail people I've come

into contact with in a long-time.

If you want

good service and quality products, make a beeline to the Main Street market.
