Fresh Harvest Farm — Local services in City of Mount Vernon

Pros: carries a few Italian specialty items not specific to the area/demographic which is nice; soda is cheaper than CVS and the local Deli’s, Sandwhiches they make can be good; stock a lot of shelf stable products-like cookies and pasta, etc.
