Grocery Stores in Chelmsford, MA

Should have everything you need to know. http://www.mass.gov/ago/consumer-resources/your-rights/civil-rights/disability-rights/information-about-service-animals.html

My husband has a service dog and the training they both have gone through has been an incredibly long process. Chance is the most well behaved dog you'll ever meet. Service dogs are working dogs and life changes. https://www.operationdeltadog.org

Has it occurred to anyone that having dogs in GROCERY STORES is a sanitary concern?? Dog hair, dog feces/urine, fleas, etc. does not mix well with food. A TRUE service dog, I'd allow. An emotional support dog? No way. If you can't be without your emotional support buddy for half hour doing groceries... maybe you shouldn't be out in public at all. Service dogs are a whole different story... They are for handicap people who rely on these dogs to literally save their lives or keep them safe from a tragic accident (seizures, restricted movements, blindness, recurring strokes, etc) I am not saying that emotional pets do not serve an important purpose for people with depression, anxiety and other mental/emotional ailments, but there are places where dogs should only be allowed under strict rules, for hygiene and sanitary reasons.

Tavern In the square, eviva, burtons, carrabas, Red Robin for restaurants. Also Dream Diner in Tyngsboro for breakfast. Chelmsford Diner too but slow service. For stores I go to three different supermarkets weekly to get what I need plus occasional trips to Aldi, Whole Foods and Wegmans. They all carry different things so it depends on what you like/need.

Debras Grocer in West Concord has wide selection and is well worth the trip.

Trader Joe's, market basket and Aldi have great prices!! Restaurants we have had success at (celiac) are eviva cuccina, tavern in the square, papa Gino's for pizza, not your average joes and red heat tavern. There's a breakfast place on summer st that's good for gluten free food. Definitely recommend find me gluten free app!!

Stop and shop in Chelmsford has a great selection separated in its own aisle. Whole foods has a ton and carries something sweet without wheat in a freezer for good cakes, cookies, etc. if you are looking for products only.

The 99, and Jon Ryan Pub have gf rolls. Red Heat Tavern in Bedford has many gf choices.

TJ Maxx has quite a few Gluten Free foods.

Not super local but I have heard good things about Something Sweet Without Wheat in Woburn

Eviva Cucina has a separate menu!!

Flatbread Pizza Company on the Bedford/Burlington line has gluten-free options.

Whole Foods Westford

https://www.facebook.com/476945262352036 Evviva Cucina has amazing gluten free options and they take allergy precautions very seriously!

Hill Orchard has a nice farmstand, it’s in westford but not far over the town line. Heard good things about Jones Farm too but haven’t been, it’s out of my way.

I would start at Jones Farm

Stony Brook Acres in Westford. Just went and bought grapes and cantaloupe ... and fresh baked muffins...and Shaw's ice cream.

Verrill Farms in Concord is good too. https://www.facebook.com/verrillfarm/

Lull Farm in Hollis.

I like Idylwilde Farms in Acton.

There are many websites like www.lowsodiumcooking.com. The most well-known cookbook is the low-salt cookbook by the American Heart Association. Caution: even low salt luncheon meat is bad for your heart. The ones made with no nitrates/nitrites are better but they often have loads of sodium as a preservative. Whole Foods’ deli roasts their own turkey breast but I’ve never asked about salt content. Also- be cautious as many low sodium canned goods just replace sodium chloride with potassium chloride.

Stop & Shop in Chelmsford has a nutritionist in the store that will help. You pay $25 which is a gift card that you use to purchase items. She will walk through the store and help you make choices. https://stopandshop.com/our-nutritionists/

Try bliss bakery in Groton. They are creative and willing to try any design. She did great with League of Legends designs.
