Rosewood Market & Deli: Local at Its Best

Buying local and supporting local suppliers is an ever-growing concept gaining in popularity, especially here in the Palmetto State. Local businesses are an important aspect of the character of a geographic area, with nationwide studies revealing that independent, locally owned businesses provide the most jobs to residents living within communities they serve. In addition, local business owners are less likely to leave the area and are usually more invested in the economic wellness of the communities they call home. In fact, significantly more money stays in the local economy to be used to make purchases from other local businesses, service providers and area farms, which further strengthens the local socioeconomic base. 

    Though some are just coming to understand the significant benefits of buying local, Rosewood Market & Deli, located at 2803 Rosewood Drive, in Columbia, has for years made the “buying local” initiative an integral part of its mission.      

       Owner Bryan Tayara has worked extensively with local and regional product providers for years. In fact, Rosewood Market & Deli has supported local farms since 1973. “Our produce buyer of more than 25 years, Kevin Brumfield, hand selects the produce we offer daily,” says Tayara, “and our very popular deli has been serving plant-based and meat-based dishes sourced from local farmers and artisans for nearly 45 years.”   

    Once a local product supplier himself, Tayara is committed to supporting sustainable, locally grown and produced organic products. From local free-range eggs from Paradise Acres and Sylvan Farm to beef from Eubank Farm and poultry from Keegan-Filion Farm, Rosewood Market & Deli carries a wide selection of fresh and delicious regional brands sure to please.

    Rosewood Market & Deli’s list of great local product providers is extensive. It includes such businesses as Happy Cow Creamery, Our Local Catch, City Roots, Cottle Farms, Little Mountain Apiary and Honey and Bee Pollen. Other valuable providers on the list are Heather’s Artisan Bakery and Butter Patch Farm—the market’s supplier of fresh raw milk. 

    The market also supports local artisans. On any given Saturday afternoon, local artisans and small business owners can be found on-site offering their own products. Tayara personally vets each seller extensively before approval to ensure that all products sold to Rosewood Market & Deli’s customers, and the greater community, are safe and of high quality.   

    The popular market carries a vast line of organic and sustainable products, providing customers seeking healthier and more nutritious food choices a wide variety from which to choose. 

    The list of business partners goes on and on, which further underscores Tayara’s deep commitment to supporting, both, local businesses and the local economy. Take a trip to Rosewood Market & Deli to see what buying local is all about. Tayara and his qualified and professional staff stand ready to help shoppers find the right products at the right prices. States Tayara: “Excellent service, customer satisfaction, quality products and local partnerships are what we’re all about. That’s the essence of Rosewood Market & Deli!”
