I can remember as a kid my dad drinking coffee and i said to myself "I will never drink that stuff." Now I drink my words. Heritage House serves some mean coffee and tea and other speciality drinks. They have a cozy environment and great staff. The front of the shop is a gift shop and the back has a seating area. I also love that they sell local art on their walls. Heritage House embodies what it means to be a local joint. So if you need a caffeine fix, looking for art, just want to find a place to read your book - Heritage House is your joint.

They are located on the corner of Mcfarland and Watermelon rd. next to the winn dixie.

Why Buy Local???

1- Buy Local -- Support yourself: Several studies have shown that when you buy from an independent, locally owned business, rather than a nationally owned businesses, significantly more of your money is used to make purchases from other local businesses, service providers and farms -- continuing to strengthen the economic base of the community.

2 - Support community groups: Non-profit organizations receive an average 250% more support from smaller business owners than they do from large businesses.

3 - Keep our community unique: Where we shop, where we eat and have fun -- all of it makes our community home. Our one-of-a-kind businesses are an integral part of the distinctive character of this place. Local = Unique.

4 - Reduce environmental impact: Locally owned businesses can make more local purchases requiring less transportation and generally set up shop in town or city centers as opposed to developing on the fringe. This generally means contributing less to sprawl, congestion, habitat loss and pollution.

5 - Create more good jobs: Small local businesses are the largest employer nationally and in our community, provide the most jobs to residents.

6 - Get better service: Unlike most corporate business with chain stores - the local business is geared more on community service and hiring quality workers that care about the customer and the service they provide. Local is where they know your name.

7 - Encourage local prosperity: A growing body of economic research shows that in an increasingly homogenized world, entrepreneurs and skilled workers are more likely to invest and settle in communities that preserve their one-of-a-kind businesses and distinctive character.
