Terrible produce, good frozen and dry selection - Edit
Decent market for occasional purchases but it's not a place to do all your shopping. I end up buying a fair amount of hard-to-find vegan items here but always regret purchasing any produce. It may be organic but it is never fresh and doesn't ripen properly.
My boyfriend and i got the sweet and sour seitan. It was delicious but a little skimpy on the seitan. However, the sauce and bell peppers were delicious. I liked the grocery part as well, but it was hard to find some things (mainly pesto). The prices are a little much but we expected that. Plus, I think everything is expensive, haha.
They sell meat and fish and egg products. They do not discriminate. You have to read the labels carefully. They are owned by NRG, which is owned by UNFI, so they are definitely big business - not a locally owned company.
it's places like these that make it hard for the average joe to accept organic living. I spent $70 on nuts, fruits, veggies, and a box of tea and not even enugh to last a week and can only have a max of 80 carbs a day. The selection is usually freash, but minimal at best. It's small, so i understand, but if you have limitations on what you can consume (vegan/diabetes for instance) there is very little for you. If you like chips and cereal, your streight. Some of the staff is amazing, while others are streight up rude. Also I use to work at helth food stores before i moved to gainesville, they where never this redic.
