Small Business Spotlight- Snow’s Fine Meats & Provisions

Small Business Spotlight

This week we are featuring

Snow’s Fine Meats & Provisions

, our neighborhood butcher shop that specializes in locally sourced pasture-based proteins, handmade deli items, and specialty goods. They are located on Courthouse Hill (160 East Main Street), next to Market on Main and White Birch Juice. Their meat case is stocked with ribs, steaks, chicken, lamb, and more. If you are looking for a quick dinner idea, they have take-and-bake meatloaf, bratwursts, fresh potato salad, and daily made hoagies. For our pimento cheese or chicken salad lovers, you can stop in and grab a container out of their fridge (we highly recommend the smoked gouda pimento cheese, it is yummy!).

If you have tried something from Snow’s let us know your favorite thing in the comments.

If you can’t trust your butcher, who can you trust?

Small Business Spotlight- The Girl and The Raven

Small Business Spotlight

The Girl and The Raven is a new and vibrant café located at 380 East Main Street, in the old Zazzy’z Coffeehouse. They pride themselves on premium coffee and a unique culinary experience. Their menu promotes southern roots with a global influence. Located in an 1886 historic building, they have a pick-up window, a sleek bar area, and expanded outdoor dining for guests to enjoy homemade baked goods, fresh-pressed juices, sandwiches, expressos, gluten-free items, much more. Check out their menu on their website- https://thegirlandtheravencafe.com/

While visiting for the spotlight feature, we tried the fresh-pressed juice made with oranges, pineapple, ginger, and carrot, which we highly recommend for our non-coffee drinkers. It is fresh and full of vitamin C, and we all need more of that these days for our immune system. The Sorghum Spice Cookie tastes like a warm pumpkin pie. For the coffee drinkers, try the Flat White, and ask to watch it be made because their personal touches make the whole experience.

Be sure to say hello to the owners, Cillian and Ariane Hegarty, they moved here from Manhattan pre-COVID. Ariane has Southwest Virginia roots and lived in Manhattan for many years perusing her career.

Stop by The Girl and The Raven to experience this vibrant café, grab a coffee, and relax in the Abingdon ambiance!
