Virginia Gardner, Charlottesville RealtorHunt Country Market and Deli, a gem along Garth Road

We’re incredibly lucky in the Charlottesville area that local country markets are still open for business.  A favorite of the northwestern crowd is the Hunt Country Market and Deli, found just Charlottesville Va Realtor Virginia Gardnerwest of Foxfield on Garth Road, on the corner of Free Union Road.  It’s good all day, but it’s great every evening… there’s a daily dinner special that’s hard to beat.  A small but good wine selection is also available.

Eat on site on the charming patio area, or take out.  Find details on their Facebook page.
