Eureka Natural Foods - Mckinleyville — Local services in McKinleyville

The food is too overpriced, it's all gimmicked up and inflated, moreso geared toward the privileged... Everyone deserved healthy food and if something is grown organically then it should cost less to grow, no need to pay for costly chemical nutrients and such, so in theory organically grown food should be cheaper than the stuff filled with chemicals... It's crazy, the stuff that is affordable for poor people is the stuff that is loaded with chemicals while grown, it's genetically modified and then it's injected with more chemicals to preserve it, so there is a ton of added overhead for this sort of product, yet that is the stuff that the impoverished are made to eat ... This of coarse isn't enf's problem, and I don't think the owners are lining their pockets from the products they sell either but it's an issue that is much larger and not quite within their control. Unfortunately I can rarely shop at enf, when I do get to shop there I am doing so as a treat, a special occasion that I know, ultimately, takes food off of my table at the end of the month as a result. I do enjoy the staff and I believe that enf carries quality products, including locally sourced goods that should also allow the bottom dollar to stay low considering the cost of transport is greatly less.... Once again, not eureka natural foods doing imo... But part of a larger problem that nobody wants to acknowledge and people are quick to discredit by calling it yet another...

Eureka Natural Foods is sensational store full of top of the line health food and body care products. My favorite aspects of the store is the body care area, it's has a fairly large selection for two isles. They have been able to order me products quickly that they don't stock on their shelves. Their food bar is outstanding! The chef is brilliant making delicious hot foods, excellent salad bar with lots of options, they even have sushi, desserts, and deli. I love that they have both cubed and block ice, Hooray! Be sure to visit their meat/seafood department, the butchers are extremely helpful, they've made me Andouille Sausage on the spot, selected the best Filet Mignon cutlets and have highlighted the freshest fish to purchase. My two dislikes is the fresh produce area needs a lot of help, I feel the greens are not fresh, they're wilted and rusted on the edges. It's all a bit over priced when even compared to the Co-op in Arcata. The other bummer is that I have this amazing experience throughout the store and then I get to the cashiers who seem to be "checked out," or not engaged. Sometimes they do ask if I found everything, but it just feels like I'm a bother....something along...

LOVE ENF in McKinleyville! All the best of everything organic and delicious! Excellent fresh produce with lots of local options, always a bonus! Great bulk foods section with a serious variety and always fresh (they must have great rotation). Love the international foods section... this particular store often carries speciality items I can't find anywhere else. We LOVE the premade sandwiches... the BLT on a croissant is always a winner! The made to order sandwiches are also fabulous... they don't skimp on the fillings but instead provide generous portions and great ingredients. We don't use the hot food bar often, but every time we do we are pleasantly surprised. If they have the lemon cod... get it!!! It is SO DANG GOOD! Friendly attentive staff, well stocked shelves, clean and tidy overall and a fabulous variety down every single isle. Even the wine/beer selection is off the charts. And, finally it's reasonably and competitively priced (you're never paying a bunch more than other stores) and they have great sales every month.We LOVE that this is our neighborhood...
