As for Earth Faire, the location was horrible. Even without the road construction, I avoid that kind of congested traffic area. Sprouts is easily accessible being within The Villages. I don’t want to leave my bubble if I don’t have to.

Earth Fair was only 5 minutes away from me; I live in the Spanish Springs area. For anyone living near 441, Earth Fair was closer than Sprouts is in its new location.
Earth Fair had awesome chicken salad, and delicious breads. Their produce prices were reasonable. I get most of my canned goods, milk, soda, "center of the store" stuff at Walmart.
Sprouts looks like another awesome option for anyone who wants fresh produce, and has an interest in supporting local farms. It's not exclusively local, and it's also not exclusively organic. Earth Fair had a LOT of restrictions that inhibited profit. Sprouts has fewer restrictions, which will hopefully encourage profit.
The fact that you can get to it by golf car is a huge bonus. However, it's still a half hour drive by golf car for me, and I won't be shopping there weekly.
I also plan on getting my eggs from Walmart because it's the same brand and it's less expensive, and it's only a 7-minute golf car drive from home.
