Culpeper VA Gets New Natural Foods Store

by Staff on February 17, 2012

Organic Foods in VAA Culpeper VA couple has opened a brand new store named Natural Harvest, in the Duke Street shopping center of Culpeper.  They intend to feature a sort of year-round farmer’s market of organic natural food choices.   One of their goals is to be a connector between the farmers and growers who are already producing wholesome local products, and to make it available to the consumers who want to find those products.
