February 4, 2020Beginning today, February 4, 2020, Earth Fare will begin the closing of all locations with an inventory liquidation sale.The company has filed bankruptcy and intends to close all storesA specialty grocery store.Lots of organic produce. Very fresh and pricey$$$.Large bulk aisle of organic fruits and nuts also pricey$$.Meats looked incredibly fresh. New York strips for $7.50 a pound. Cheaper at food Lion down the street but food Lions did not look as good. See pictures.Fresh made salads looked good enough to try so ... Its broccoli, tomatoes and cranberries for tonights dinner side.I come here for special really fresh items or when I want a treat. But every day needs are so much less elsewhere.February 4, 2020Beginning today, February 4, 2020, Earth Fare will begin the closing of all locations with an inventory liquidation sale.The company has filed bankruptcy and intends to close all stores.

How can you have an heirloom juice bar and don’t serve fresh pressed orange juice? So disappointing nearest bar that does is 10 minutes away from hospital

The best grocery store I have ever been to. The staff is friendly and the prices are reasonable. The most amazing and diverse cheese selection Ive ever had to choose from. When I first walked in, the smells and the colours stood out to me and made it an experience I will never forget. Definitely will return as soon as possible.

I really like the bulk section they have. I try living as zero waste as possible and this is a great choice to get some groceries that way. I wish they had more plastic free options specially for fruits and vegetables.

I ran in quickly for a single item. The staff was very helpful. They didnt have what I needed but came up with a great idea for a substitute in a pinch. My visit was as quick as I needed it to be. The store was large, with a cozy atmosphere. I hope to return & explore more in the future.

I recently became aware of this grocery store and I cant believe I never shopped here before.Its like a mix of The Healthy Home Market and Whole Foods.I tend to go to Whole foods for all their vegan options but after shopping here, I think I will go here a little more often.They have tons of amazing vegan options and they are less expensive than Whole Foods.They could offer a bigger variety of produce, but I can always get that else where.I really love this store!

For some reason I always spend too much time standing in line to check out. It never fails. Plus most items are over priced. The meat department is best in town though.

Always fresh. Meat Dept deserves a special shout out. Good fresh meat at reasonable prices. Vegetable selection can be better. Has an excellent collection of local and imported beers. Salad bar and food court completes the experience. Have been a regular here for 4+ years.

What can you say they sell quality organic food but Ive heard stories that the meat department will sometimes They will receive shipments of meat and some of it will be bad because it was only outside of the packaging and didnt receive the appropriate amount of refrigeration so that corner of the cut of meat goes bad First turns grey and then gets this green mold growing on it so the manager in charge would take rotten green meat that he knows is bad and cook it and make it into something to sell and serve I think that manager has been fired but it might be systemic from upper management I just avoid the meat department but I love the milk in the glass jugs oh my God its good especially the chocolate they have a real good cheese selection and then of course all the can and bottle type organic foods and a lot of it is very reasonable price not as expensive as you would expect from this type of business

Nice store. over priced throughout the store expect markdown produce. it still seems ok just a little bruised or ripped. However checking out did took a while a previous customer was holding up the line

Review №13

Nice selection of organic and more naturally sourced items. The meat and seafood selection is good and better if you can catch it on sale. Maybe if youre on a stricter budget this would not be a good place to shop.

Review №14

Great store. Good selection of Non-GMO, organic, vegan, gluten free and other natural and hard to find items at regular grocery stores. Besides groceries, they have vitamins, essential oils, soaps, by the pound nuts/flours, butcher and fish shop, cheese and olive bar, small selection of natural cosmetics/skin care. Small but healthy produce section....if you care what goes into or on your body, Earth Fare is a better grocery store to shop at.

I visited this place with a friend of mine a few months ago and was mesmerized with the products this place has to offer... So MANY raw and organic seeds, nuts, flours, etc. that you can buy in bulk @ a much more reasonable price, and many many other products too numerous to mention. I wish I had at least 2 hrs to spend looking through this store. I only was given a few minutes to go in& get 1 item that day. However, I still enjoyed the quick trip. Lol

Review №18

I love the selections, and the variety of gluten free, vegan, or organic is second to none.Of course the hype is a little extreme too.The prices can be exaggerated for specific items that can be purchased at the big box stores too...Overall, it is a great place to grab a lunch (it wont be on the cheap but the food is good!)

Nice clean health food store. They have a vast selection of organic fruits and veggies. The rotisserie chicken is good. More expensive than I would prefer to pay but that goes with the territory...they have a salad and hot bar that has a good variety of things on it. Friendly staff and they usually have everything I need. No stocking issues. Check them out.

I have been shopping at Earth Fare since they remodeled the store earlier this year. But the last few months, it has really been horrible. The store is always dirty and messy. The managers there are lousy and do not provide any kind if customer service. You can tell it trickles down to the employees. The grocery aisles are always so torn up you cannot find anything. They need to get new managers and better staff training. Because their are way better options to choose from.

I like the atmosphere of shopping in this manageable store. Prices are a little more than the local chain stores, but worth it for the relaxing vibe and friendly staff. They have more unusual vegetables than the big chains, and their meats are mostly fresh cut. Bakerys nothing special. I dont like anything from their pack-you-own bulk sections. Bulk is generally a disaster, because whatever is in the bins will spoil quickly or turn rancid, especially the flours and nuts and grain snacks. They have plenty of healthy packaged choices, and though its an extra 10 minute drive, its a pleasure to shop in the atmosphere.

I hate going in there when you dont know where something is. Noone to ask and when you do they usually have to look for it too... Products are pretty good but staff isnt trained i guess because they dont last there?And not enough staff. Always spend more time when i want to looking :( Will not go therr unless i have to for this reason

I love Earth Fare, I used to live a mile from this store and would shop here every week. I wish theyd build one in Denver where I live now. I miss having one of these in reasonable distance.

I have been shopping at this Earth Fare for years. I stopped going for a while before their remodel, I decided to give them another chance. The last few times I have been in there the produce department has been in shambles. It looks like the produce clerks dont rotate the products. Bakery items were out of date by almost a week. I went to buy grass fed rib eyes from the butcher market and the market manager and the other clerk reeked of cigarette smoke. I definitely suggest finding somewhere cleaner with fresh quality products.

I hate this place. It’s the most convenient place for me to grab lunch but every single time I go I feel like I’ve wasted my money. This place is a knock off Whole Foods, and nothing is really tasty at all. I will say it’s probably a great spot for vegan dessert...

Review №31

Check out lines are horrible! Even with only a few people in line, it’s painfully slow. The hot bar is terrible. Pizza slices are never available. Over priced items that are usually out of stock. This location needs a make over in the worst way. Until then, I will not be shopping here. Huge disappointment.

Review №34

The best in the area.. prices are pretty comparable to whole foods its a hit or miss depending on item or sale.Supplements are pricey if you have amazon prime double check whatever supplements you plan to buy--even on sale Amazon tends to be cheaper (makes me miss Natural Grocers by vitamin Cottage)I do believe the prepared foods are a lot better priced. Great deal on take and bake pizza or pizza made ready to go (cheaper than wholefoods). Very friendly staff.... Sign up for earthfare rewards and download the app to save most money.

I honestly dont get all the hype over this overpriced grocery store. It is nice, but not worth the extra cost. They do have some good made to order food here, but again its not cheap.

Review №37

I like the place. understandable that this place is a bit on the expensive side, but some of the items are just too expensive. 21.00/lb for red snapper fish comes to mind. The blue ridge mountain milk in the glass bottle is great. it is very clean and staff are friendly.

Review №39

This place is fantastic. Main secret about this place: the butcher section is the best in the region and they have insane deals. I have bought grass fed fillet mignon from $8/pound. The trick is to come often and check the meat section every time. For the rest of the store, yes, it is expensive, and yes, most of us may not be able to buy EVERYTHING from there BUT the food’s quality is above everything you will find at other grocery shops. Buy: produce, meat, items from the bulk section, cheese, pizza. Skip: packaged food in general and alcohol (overpriced).

The only way I would stop at this location for a second time would be if I had no other alternative. I mostly order my bulk items from a co-op, but I needed something quickly and thought I would give this Earth Fare a try. A one word description...dirty. From the hot/cold bar to the bulk items! I thought twice about getting food from the bar and on second thought, I chose not to. I had to take pictures because a description couldnt do it justice. The bulk items area and do-it-yourself nut butter area were bad as well (dirty/unkempt) . The produce was expensive in comparison to my regular grocery store that just carries some organic and Whole Foods. The best aspect of my time there was my cashier whose name is Sean. He provided great customer service and we had a nice conversation!

I have always been frustrated with this Earth Fare because of the unenthusiastic employees and lack of cashiers. With the the refurbishment we have run into troubles with the Wellness Department. There was a large hole in the floor that they covered up with a rug. During construction I twisted my ankle in it when stepping on the rug. Also the vitamins I was buying for my son were so dusty from the construction that I ended up not getting anything and leaving. The next time I returned to Earth Fare I purchased a different kind of vitamin for my son. This time it was expired but I didnt realize it till I got home. I did return it. Imagine if I gave that to him and he got sick. I thought we were supposed to be getting healthy from Earth Fare, not sick. I am sad to say that I will not be returning. The Huntersville Earth fare is just always been so blaise about customer service. I was hoping it would change but it has only gotten worse. I wish I could see what others see as far as the 4.4 review rating on Google.

They are one of the few local places that carry Sumo oranges (when they are in season). Between this and their prepared brussel sprouts, Earth Fare deserves a thousand stars!
