Over the last 4 years I've had a bit of a love/hate relationship with this store; however, the bottom line is you won't find better food in the area. In fact, you have to go out of your way to get a lesser quality.
Keep in mind it's not a traditional chain grocery store in the sense that you can get all of your household needs - but they don't advertise to be that either.
What you can do is get fresh, organic ingredients to make whatever your heart desires; whether I am making a filet mignon and baked potato with garlic bread, or salmon and a mushroom risotto, or a proper Shepards pie or seafood risotto, I can get the organic fresh ingredients I prefer.
In a society where our food is becoming more and more processed, this chain of stores allows you to eat the healthiest that you can.
Price wise some items are slightly more expensive, however they do a fantastic job of keeping other items actually CHEAPER than much larger chain stores.
Sometimes there are stocking issues, so if you are making dinner for that night, go in with an open mind.
The bottom line is this - they don't have to be in this business, but I am extremely...
Read more3 years later and I'm just as impressed. They have a great selection in every department and if they don't have what you want, they're always happy to see if they can find a way to get you what you need. The produce is always great quality and the staff is always friendly and helpful.
They alternate their sales every week, so if you pay attention and go back often enough you're likely to be able to get what you want for less money.
The only thing I think they could improve is their ready to eat foods. Their soups are phenomenal but other than that, the only hot, ready to eat food is what's in the warmer and so far I have been pretty disappointed in what I have gotten. They have an entire cafe that is only devoted to juice and smoothies, it would be so easy to offer a small menu.
They've done a tremendous job with this place! They have beautiful produce, a great selection of meats, dairy and non-dairy items and a nice little...
Read moreAfter shopping here a few times, I can leave an honest review. I live in Philly but shop outside of it, usually local farms & mom & pop grocers. The local places were out of raw milk, so I traveled a .5hr further to this spot. I used to frequent Birchwood Farms (until it shut down) & Organnon's both stores until the 1 shut down.
This store is HUGE! I like the fact I have much more selection in one place, even though it's a bit farther away. The place is kept clean, smells nice, and the people are great, both the customers & employees. I can't ask for a better spot to shop. They carry quite a bit of local farm produce & milk, which is important to me. There's also a drink bar in the one corner of the store, though I have not tried them yet and I'm not quite sure of all they carry... just coffees & smoothies maybe?
Prices are great and reasonable compared to other locations. I highly recommend this place, especially those...
