Here are some of our favorite local shops to order your Thanksgiving dinner and fixings.
I love Thanksgiving. I love cooking and preparing each dish so that my mom, children, sister and her family can relax and celebrate. As a working mom I try to do it all and try to be perfect. This year I need to keep in mind that Thanksgiving should be a time to unwind, reflect, and enjoy good food with those you love—not a season of stress and last-minute grocery store runs.
This year, why not take a little pressure off yourself and embrace a stress-free holiday without sacrificing the quality and flavor you deserve? By shopping local, you can enjoy a Thanksgiving meal that’s effortless, extraordinary and most importantly memorable.
From tender juicy turkeys to the comforting sides that complete the meal, your neighborhood shops have everything you need to create a holiday feast without the headache. Not only will you get the freshest ingredients and expertly prepared dishes, but by shopping locally you’re supporting small businesses that are an integral part of our Greenwich community.
Here are some of our favorite local shops to order your Thanksgiving dinner and fixings.

What Others Are Saying About Whole Foods
"This supermarket is the absolute best! They have healthy and good quality ingredients and also great premade food. I love the rotisserie chicken and they also have nice pizza and baked goods. They also sell non food items, such as vitamins, water bottles, and shoes. The only con is that it is more expensive than most supermarkets, but I believe it's worth if for the quality of food you're getting."
— Nina, Greenwich, CT
"Always clean, and great food and healthy snack choices! Highly recommend this store."
— Sergio, Greenwich, CT
