Small Businesses Rule!

Yes, we've been busy and haven't had the time to post as frequently as we want to. Anyway...

WELCOME...
as we have a new participant on RiverDogGeneralStore.com. It's Family Health & Wellness...Welcome! John Meisel, MD and Rosemarie G. Cole, A.P.R.N. They are the ones "running the show". Their office is located at 150 Main Street in Chester, CT 06412. The office phone number 860-526-4945. Family Health & Wellness is a part of MHS Primary Care, Inc. which is a member of the Middletown Health System. You'll notice that there are several "MHS Primary Care, Inc." signs around the CT River valley/shore area...all a part of the Middlesex Health System (Middlesex Hospital ).



THE LOCAL BEET, Chester Ct
You've got to check this store out! It's a "green grocery". Kim, the owner, takes pride in having a huge selection of local high quality goods and produce. Kim writes on the Local Beet Blog "Pat from Four Mile River Farm is always right in front of The Local Beet..inside you will find their famous nitrate free hot dogs, kielbasa and knockworst...Beltane Goat Farm chevre, Beaver Brook Farm cheeses and pesto and Two Guys from Woodbridge organic hydroponic greens and Deerfield Farm raw milk, yogurt, cheeses and soaps". Kim continues, "Chester's own Mama Manju's salsa in 4 crazy flavors, Three Sister's Honey of Essex, Can't Beet It, an amazing local horseradish/beet dip that'll delight your taste buds and the original Bridge Tofu of Middletown".


The thing that really makes me smile is its location and "state of mind". It is tucked in the corner on Main Street in Chester, CT...you almost must look for it ...but you'll see it with that great sign over the porch. Except for the computer, refrigeration and credit card machine, you will know you're in a special place far from the clutches of our super store environment.



High recommendations for The Local Beet...http://www.thelocalbeetshop.com/

Please keep RiverDogGeneralStore.com and its participants in mind! Remember that The Store's purpose is to work with and help local small businesses. This is especially true in today's very tight economic world. America's small business community keeps our world turning while each business must stretch each and every dollar they receive...and what is really cool is that when they do business, these folks really appreciated it!

Thanks...talk with you next time!
