Ward's Supermarket 515 Northwest 23rd Avenue, Gainesville, FL 32609

"Farm fresh meat & produce is always the best. Organic items too. We've been going here since I was a kid. They are a bit pricey but honestly everything good is nowadays. That's the governments fault, not the store's. Their hot deli items are delicious. I highly recommend this place."

"Overall, this is my favorite grocery store. It's locally owned, not a chain, offers bulk goods (spices, beans, grains, etc) that can be special ordered in large quantities a fabulous selection of beers at good prices, and the wine choices are good, too. The produce section is extensive with a large section of organic produce, often times locally grown. They also have a discount produce bin, which is great for soup making or that day use. They also have a fine selection of plants, from flowers to vegetables, some hard to find. Downside is parking. It can be a little hairy if you want to park in front of the store. It's also often crowded, but that's because it's so popular here."

"Wards Supermarket, Local Grocery Store with Local, Seasonal Produce and Products! Also many Organic options to choose from. Raw Milk and Cheeses from Local sources, Large and Organized Bulk section of Herbs, Nuts, and Spices, and Flours. A community board for local events and info!"
