Thompson Market is a super place to visit. Limited produce but all fresh and yummy. Best tomatoes I ever had anywhere. Has lots of other neat stuff - pickles of all kinds, honey, hoop cheese. Worth the trip just to browse the store. Best of all are the owner and employees.

Started coming in purely because they serve as a pickup location for Rose Creek sourdough, but have continued to come in both because of the quality of all the other products/produce as well as the impeccable vibes. The women who work here are super sweet, and the customer base they've curated reflects their kindness.

Hated to see them move further away (not even a mile😂) but landing 2 doors down from T&T Meats was perfect for their business! My go to for fresh veggies and whatever else my wife wants me to bring home!😂😂😂

The new store is smaller than the previous location, but they've still got great produce and other grocery items. And the ladies are every bit as friendly and helpful. Oh, and they're now carrying Marsh Hen Mill products. Not sure how long they've been doing that, but Marsh Hen Mill are made from heirloom grains and…

Best tomatoes in town! The owner, Monterey Thompson, is the embodiment of Southern hospitality and makes everyone feel welcome the moment they walk in. The variety of Georgia-made products, fresh produce, and local goods is top notch. And when they’re in season, don’t leave without grabbing a seedless watermelon! 🍅🍉

The new store is smaller than the previous location, but they've still got great produce and other grocery items. And the ladies are every bit as friendly and helpful. Oh, and they're now carrying Marsh Hen Mill products. Not sure how long they've been doing that, but Marsh Hen Mill are made from heirloom grains and legumes. Their corn meal, whichever version you get, makes stellar cornbread (just made some yesterday from some I already had on hand) - but their grits are great as well. Stop in, stock up, then head over to T&T Meats to get a main course to go with what you got here. Better than going to the grocery story!
