Fresh Houwse Grocery
Founded by the dynamic duo of Jeremy Peaches and Ivy Walls, Fresh Houwse Grocery is not your typical grocery store. It's a labor of love, a farmer-owned, community-operated gem nestled right in the heart of our neighborhood.
At Fresh Houwse Grocery, we're all about supporting local farmers and promoting sustainability. We source our produce directly from the hands that tend to the soil, ensuring that you get the freshest, most flavorful ingredients for your table. Our commitment to quality is what sets us apart.
But we're not just a grocery store; we're a vibrant community hub. Step inside, and you'll be greeted with warm smiles and a sense of togetherness. We're here to connect, share, and create memories with our neighbors. From education classes to seasonal festivals, Fresh Houwse is your go-to gathering place.
