Mountain Fresh Grocery Store
Come with me to the beautiful and charming city of Highlands, North Carolina where we spotlight Mountain Fresh Grocery Store. This Grocery Store is the heartbeat of Highlands in any season. It’s a lively specialty shop complete with pizzeria, bakery, and restaurant. The owners are Jennifer and Steve Smith-Snead, a delightful couple with complimentary skill sets reminding me much of David and I. They too do not come from a food background. With their talents, they team up and tackle one of the busiest places in Highlands. You will find yourself drawn to the comfort foods of Mountain Fresh Grocery while visiting the captivating mountain city.
I can count on one hand how many cold calls I have made to inquire if a store wanted to carry our products. But as I shopped in their store, I felt led to ask if they would be interested. I left a bag of goodies with a clerk who promised to get them to the owner. By the time I returned home, I got a call from Steve. I love to hear him tell the story of how, at home, he and Jennifer raced to the bottom of the sample bag! They have been extremely great partners to work with in all seasons.
Mountain Fresh Grocery is the exclusive carrier of our hand cut petite square version of lavender shortbread. With a texture all their own, they are little pops of delight! You can always count on a great variety of our products at Mountain Fresh Grocery with our spicy cheese dominating the display!
When I asked If I could spotlight the store, Jennifer shared the following verse and message:
Romans 8:28 New Living Translation “And we know that God causes everything to work for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them.” 828 is the area code for Highlands (WNC). So many things we have encountered that seemed so daunting in the moment sent me to this scripture over and over again.
There was no serendipity to this connection between us and Mountain Fresh Grocery. I knew it was God’s favor and now it has been confirmed! Thanks be to GOD! Stop by Mountain Fresh Grocery; you will not regret it! Until next time.
