Green Ridge Farm Market & Cafe — Restaurant in Hampden Township

The employees of this store caused me turmoil when they refused to allow my service dog into the store. The owners got my dog confused with an emotional support animal. I was confronted by the employees who told me that my service animal was not welcome. I contacted the police. During the ordeal my dog sustained burns to his feet from the asphalt he stood on when I was so upset. I was trying to get food to regulate my blood sugar. It was during a heat wave. I was very sick and trying to help myself. There is also a big sign saying no dogs! The employees did not educate themselves of the things they will need to know if they want to run a brick and mortar store themselves.

Here are a few of our favorites: Homemade Butter Pecan ice cream, Gluten Free Cinnamon Donut Holes, Organic Dried Apple Slices, Apple Cinnamon Sausage, Bratwurst, Arrowhead Mills Organic Gluten free flour, Raw Milk, Corn + Soy Free eggs.

Thank you Ruthie and family for all your hard work. We appreciate all you do to bring healthy choices to our...

This building was formerly the Healthy Grocer which closed in 2020 or 2021. I am so glad Green Ridge has moved in. They have lots of healthy and organic groceries including fresh produce. They make their own nut butters and several other packaged items, like energy bites and granola bars. There is a cafe serving freshly made salads and sandwiches, acai bowls, coffee and tea and a little seating area so you can enjoy on-site.
