6 Simple Kitchen Hacks to Make Life Easier
23rd September
The best meals often start with little tricks that save time, reduce waste, and make cooking more fun. Here are Six of our favorite kitchen hacks to help you get the most out of your ingredients and time in the kitchen.
1. Keep Herbs Fresh Longer 🌿
Tired of limp parsley or wilted cilantro? Wrap your fresh herbs in a slightly damp paper towel, then store them in a reusable bag or jar in the fridge. They’ll stay crisp and flavorful much longer.
2. Stop Pots from Boiling Over 🍝
No one likes cleaning up a starchy mess. Lay a wooden spoon across the top of a pot of boiling water — the bubbles will pop against the spoon, keeping things under control.
3. Revive Stale Bread 🥖
If your bread has gone a little stale, don’t toss it! Sprinkle … Read More »

Why Supporting Local Agriculture Matters
14th July
Fresh food, strong communities, and a thriving local economy.
As summer hits its stride, July marks the peak of local produce season—and it’s the perfect time to celebrate everything that makes local agriculture so important. When you choose to buy food grown close to home, you’re doing much more than filling your basket with ripe tomatoes or crisp greens. You’re investing in a healthier, more sustainable future—for yourself and your community.
Fresher Food, Better Flavor
At Three Rivers Market, we prioritize sourcing produce from farms within a 100-mile radius. That means the fruits and vegetables on our shelves are often harvested within 24 hours of arriving at the store. The result? Fresher, tastier, and more nutritious food on your plate.
Plus, fewer miles traveled means reduced carbon emissions, lower fossil fuel use, and a smaller environmental footprint overall. Eating local doesn’t just taste better—it’s … Read More »
