Harvest is one of the nicest looking grocery stores I’ve been into and the selection is diverse enough that they’ll likely have what you need.

Harvest Grocery & Supply: Owner Hunter Hopcroft opened this Fan District market in late January and “traffic has been steady,” he says, as customers check out the Olli wild boar salami, Polyface Farm meats, Sausagecraft and Hardywood products, and other local foods and beverages. Hopcroft says he started the business to be “a good neighborhood market for the Fan, carrying items from the perimeter of the grocery store in a compact format.” It’s a concept he’s seen in New York and Los Angeles that updates the midcentury markets, where fresh and local foods prevailed.

Hopcroft has assembled an A-list of purveyors and products in a hand-built setting with a cheerfulness that’s already attracting regulars. Open Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. 1531 W. Main St., 257-4300. harvestrva.com. [via Style Weekly – Short Order]
