Earth Fare made headlines earlier this year when they challenged Americans to take back control of their health through their food choices and Live Longer With Earth Fare ®. Since 1975, Earth Fare has distinguished itself as a leader in the healthy foods industry by developing a unique Food Philosophy that informs every product offered in the store. This Food Philosophy ensures that all products sold are free of high fructose corn syrup, artificial fats and trans-fats, artificial colors, artificial preservatives, artificial sweeteners, bleached or bromated flour, and are never administered antibiotics or growth hormones. In addition, Earth Fare recently announced that its more than 750 private brand food products are now sourced using only non-GMO ingredients, and new products are added to the shelves each day.

Beyond groceries, the 24,000 square-foot store will also feature Earth Fare’s Heirloom Organic Café and Juice Bar, featuring 100% Certified Organic coffee and juices. Shoppers will also find organic choices at the salad bar, hot foods bar, pizza station, sandwich counter, and in conveniently packaged meals-on-the-go.
