"The Heritage Store" In Virginia Beach

Heritage Health Foods Sign

40 years ago Tom Johnson started a small heath store selling just the health and beauty formulas recommended by "Edgar Cayce." It now occupies a 22,000 square foot facility. I have been a customer of the "Heritage Health Foods Store" for over 10 years. The store is located one block from the beach, and although it takes me 30 minutes to get there, the trip is always worth the time. A fun store with thousands of products good for you, The Heritage is another Local Must-check out place in Hampton Roads.
If you are looking for a healthy lifestyle in Hampton Roads you must check out "The Heritage Store" in Virginia Beach Health Foods, Holistic Center, Bookstore and Gifts.

The fresh produce is as local as possible and organic. There are so many products and services that I will only describe the ones that I have personally used.
The Cafe Although the menu has gotten smaller through the years, every sandwich and soup is top of the line. I make sure I try something different each visit. I have tried recently the gazpacho, tomato soup and buffalo burger. Each of them excellent.Desserts at the Heritage Store The smoothies are delicious and made with fresh fruit on the spot.

2207 Mount Pleasant Rd, Chesapeake, VA 23322

Bergey's sign

Bergey's Breadbasket- The store which sells Bread, Pies, Ice Cream, Milk, Flowers and More
has been around longer than most people reading this blog. Titus Bergey founded the farm in 1931 and it has been owned by his children and grandchildren eve since. It used to be a working farm, but the City of Chesapeake made it impossible to continue running the business as a dairy farm circa 2007. I used to take my kids to feed the cows, turkeys, chickens, pigs and some times sheep. Now you find a beautiful store with produce brought from local farmers. The milk is from Yoder's, and it is as good as the old Bergey milk used to be.
The Bergey's Breadbasket- now sells Breads, pies, ice cream, milk, flowers, candy, honey and most of it locally grown.
Bergey's Mural, Chesapeake-VA- CommunityEvery time you visit the store there is a different flavor of ice cream. Around Christmas, egg-nog , and egg-nog ice cream are available. Halloween brings pumpkin ice cream, and the last time I visited (last week) cookies and cream was the flavor of the day.
A small menu with sandwiches and soups are served for lunch. The soup of the day is always good, and the chicken salad sandwich is my favorite. Make sure to try their smoke's barbecued ( done locally by Zook's Barbecue)Map Of Bergey's Breadbasket- Chesapeake-VA
Customer service is excellent, and some days you get to see a female family member with their Mennonite wear working behind the counter. During Halloween season a favorite local event was to go to the farm and pick your own pumpkin. There were horse carriages that took 20 to 30 people at a time to the fields. Plans of bringing this event back is in the works at Bergey's Breadbasket - Bread, Pies, Ice Cream, Milk,Flowers and More will always be part of the menu at the Bergey's farm.
