![]() There's often live music and tents setup in the field beside Newton Farms with people selling KettleCorn, other foods, or homemade niceties (baskets, etc). If you want to shop, there are plenty of speciality stores (a shoe store, art gallery, a couple clothing stores, a general store, liquor store, outdoor/sporting goods store, jewelry, eyeglass, books, etc). There's Ladles Homemade Soups/Sandwiches, La Tela Pizzeria (check out my review of that place before you go), King Street Grille, The Station (gas station/deli), Marble Slab Cremery, Hege's Restaurant, Vincent's Soda Fountain/Drug Store, Starbucks and more. Although I didn't purchase any produce, from a cursory inspection their fruits and veggies were of good quality.Īround the village there are plenty of other things to do as well. They have good food, a decent wine and beer selection, artisan cheese, everything. If you're looking for groceries, Newton Farms is the token high-end/only game in town/expensive food store with everything. I would recommend this Village for many reasons, just don't bother with the Wine Shop.įreshfields is a huge place with pretty much anything you could ask for. We all left angry and didn't buy a thing from him. Other customers were trying to help her and he just stood there looking out the window as if none of us were there. She did not know anything about Pinot Noirs, so she asked him for a recommendation and his response was the same- "anything red is good". Then a woman came in looking for a nice gift and she wanted to buy a bottle of Pinot Noir for a friend. We asked him for a Cabernet recommendation and his response was "anything red is good". The service was horrible! The man working the day we visited either had no knowledge of wines or could care less. The only disappointment was Kiawah Wines in this Village. I reviewed each of these in separate reviews. It has great places for lunch (Ladles), a nice little coffee shop (Java Java), ice cream (Marble Slab Creamery), and an excellent grocery store (Harris Teeter Freshfield's Market). It was nice to not have to travel too far. We stayed on Kiawah Island last week and we loved the Freshfield's Village! It was a short bike or car ride away from Kiawah and had everything you needed and wanted in a vacation village. But don't expect to find anything but basic mass produced and store brand mediocrity, limited selection and poor quality at Harris Teeter. For good local foods stop at Bluebird market at the corner of Maybank and Main road year round, or Rosebank Farm in spring, summer and fall. Do yourself a favor - if you pass a Publix on your way to Kiawah or Seabrook stop and buy your groceries there. This is a coastal town for heaven sake, and the fish must come from the west coast for how fresh it looks. And don't even get me started on the fish. A decent salad bar, interesting local foods, excellent cheese selection, seasonal selections. As a part time resident who is often here alone I relied on Newton Farms for a reasonable quick prepared meal: Solid soups that were clearly not mass produced. ![]() You may as we'll be shopping In Walmart and paying 3x the price. All the specialty foods found in Newton Farms are gone. As a store with main clientele of either full time retirees or high end vacationers they do not cater to either market well. My spending for food has declined by more then half since this store replace Newton Farms. Like other reviewers I always leave disappointed. Instead it combines high prices and low quality. It is neither an adequate main stream grocer nor a high end specialty grocer. Harris Teeter is a disappointment on so many levels.
