Why Poppies? Because we believe that shopping for groceries shouldn't be just a chore, but a time to try new things and enjoy yourself. And that food should always be fresh – wholesome, natural and the best available... that locally produced means less miles to your table and supports our neighbors in Brevard, Hendersonville and western NC... that taste is everything – whether it’s the sun in our heirloom vegetables, the flavor and texture of our artisanal cheeses, or the unique character of our microbrewed beers...

Healthy living comes from many sources – food, lifestyle and what we take to promote good health. Every day should be a celebration of life, full of good food and drink, and surrounded by beauty... that we have only one planet earth and supporting friendly farming practices, recycling and doing anything that protects our environment are the only ways to sustain our precious agricultural system.

We call these our “passions” and that’s really what we’re all about.
