B E S T G R O C E R Y S TO R E Plum Market 17801 Biscayne Boulevard Aventura, 33160 786-692-5450 plummarket.com It might not be the biggest market in town or the least expensive, but thanks to Plum Mar- ket, we have a grocery store committed to or- ganic produce and sustainability and dedicated to local farmers, makers, and arti- sans. The “Miles to Market” program is espe- cially eye-opening, informing customers how many miles a product has traveled to get to the store (and it will be less than 350, an aver- age tank of gas). We also love how Plum gives back via food rescue programs and a commit- ment to compostable and reusable packaging. Simply put: It feels good to shop at a place that does good for the community it serves. B E S T G O U R M E T G R O C E R Y The Golden Hog 91 Harbor Drive Key Biscayne, 33149 305-361-1300 thegoldenhog.com Here is a grocery with the hometown sensi- bility of a local farmers’ market, the conve- nient inventory of any supermarket chain, and the sumptuous array of handmade pasta, artisanal cheese, and specialty deli meats that justifies the Golden Hog’s “gourmet” desig- nation. From Échiré butter from France to Petrossian caviar, this Key Biscayne shop is globally sourced and committed to quelching all epicurean cravings, no matter how ob- scure. The prepared food section and deli are a sight to behold: shrimp the size of a tod- dler’s head and a diverse deli meat selection of prosciutto, jamón ibérico, and pancetta. Healthy salads and made-to-order sand- wiches pair perfectly with a beachside picnic at nearby Crandon Park. B E S T A S I A N M A R K E T Kimchi Mart 15355 South Dixie Highway Miami, 33157 786-250-3456 miamikimchi.com For true lovers of Asian food, a visit to Kim- chi Mart can elicit that kid-in-a-candy-store excitement, except with shrimp crackers, Pocky biscuit sticks, and ramen instead of chocolates and lollies. Situated at the end of a strip mall in Palmetto Bay, the market boasts veggies like bean sprouts, baby bok choy, daikon radish, Korean pears, and shishito peppers. The refrigerators are filled with homemade kimchi, nearly two dozen types of frozen dumplings, and sushi-grade tuna. Need a last-minute gift? They sell beautiful assortments of sake and tea sets. In search of 40-pound bags of rice? They’ve got those, too. B E S T FA R M E R S ’ M A R K E T Legion Park Farmers Market 6601 Biscayne Boulevard Miami, 33138 786-427-4698 urbanoasisproject.org/farmers-markets.html The proof is in the produce. Every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., Legion Park fills with folks eager to fill their zero-waste canvas totes with a bounty of farm-fresh produce, handcrafted soaps, artisanal dips, and more hyper-local goods before vendors sell out. If outdoor yoga is your thing, be sure to bring a mat because a free community class at 10 a.m. is held here beneath the oak trees, weather permitting. Eat & Drink
