"Its like a Produce Art Gallery"   My Rating

	Review: When I first walked into Earth Fare I was struck by the beauty of the produce. I am not trying to be funny it looked so perfect, bright, bruise free, and perfectly organized (it really made me wonder why people genetically modify food or spray paint it if you can grow it so beautifully organically). The rest of the store was no different, the staff really work to make sure everything is clean and organized and beautiful. I probably stayed in there for 2 or more hours. I also ate at their deli. It was a little bit too bland for my tastes, I like very flavorful foods. Earth Fare is the kind of store you can take your time in because it has a very welcoming, clean, homely atmosphere. Lots of testers to try things out before you buy, and a food samples too. I read they also have free lessons and activities as well though I have not participated as of you. Its truly a little community on its own rather than a mere grocery store.   Pros: Beautiful atmosphere, produce, products * Excellent staff in every dept. * Fully featured community market Cons: Tad expensive * Not centrally located *

"A good choice"   My Rating

	Review: I know Earth Fare has taken a hit since the Trader Joe's opened, however we still shop there for some staple items and they seem to be doing okay. They pretty much sell anything you can get at a grocery store (including meats, cheese, deli, etc.) however with a bent on the healthy side. They do not sell foods with high fructose corn syrup, trans fat, artificial colors, sweetners, etc. They also do not sell meats or dairy from animals treated inhumanely, which really makes me feel good about shopping there. We love the mock-chicken salad in the deli and also shop there for a lot of Fantastic Foods products, Tofurkey and frozen items, Luna/Odwalla Bars, teas and vitamins. Staff is very friendly and food is very high quality. Only downside is their pricing can be a bit high, but nothing over the top. Is located off Johnston Rd. on Community House, very close the I-485 exit. They also have several locations in the Triad.   Pros: Location * Great Selection * Store Philosophy Cons: Pricing on some items * *

"Excellent Addition to the Community"   My Rating

	Review: I love this store! They have an amazing selection and they even carry fun holistic personal products, even DivaCups! I had a remarkable experience with the bakery, the manager Jamil was very sweet and helpful. I had no problems with an order I placed and was really pleased with the service. I host a raw food meetup group and they were extremely helpful in helping me to set up a potluck there. They seem to truly care about the community and engaging more Charlotteans in healthy activities and eating. All in all, I wouldn't say this is the perfect health food store, just a way better, more conscientious, and health minded grocery store.   Pros: Excellent Staff * Variety * Wonderful Produce Cons: A tad pricy comparitively * Need more locations *
