Earth Fare is back
 

Earth Fare has reopened their store in Ocala (I was there yesterday) and they said the one on 441 will be opening in October. Yea :coolsmiley:

Thank you! We do very much like that store. Eager to see the new one open near campus.

I went to the new Earth Fare store on Rt 441 today. I don't see any reason to go back again. What am I missing, as compared to Publix?

Did you check out the meat market section or visit the salad bar?

Sometimes organic, no additives, or preservatives, are not on the top of ones list. But if they are important to you, Earth Fare is closer than driving to Whole Foods. Shopping at a regular grocery, for those items is a hit or mostly miss, with very little to offer.

We have always been mindful of what we put on our table. However waiting until your 60s, May be a waste of money, for a change. But one never knows

I was there yesterday. OK if you want "organic" and are willing to pay for it. Very much like Fresh Market.

We shop at Fresh Market for some things, but while we are in TV we drive to Gainesville for appointments, Whole Foods, and Trader Joe’s.

It’s a life choice on organic. Growing up it wasn’t called Organic, it was loving known as the 5 acres of garden, at Granny and Granddaddy’s. With any vegetables you could think of, fruit trees, and chickens. Oh and the cow that our milk, cream, butter, and cottage cheese, all unpasteurized and exceptional. We were just outside of town, so many had small gardens like us. Our grocery per week is $53.00 per week, slightly higher than up north, We can afford the lifestyle when it comes to food.

Delicious chicken salad, excellent French batards, and organic vine-ripe tomatoes at only $1.99/lb. Their pizza slices looked good and the size of each slice was generous, at 2 slices for $7. I've been overloading on cheese lately though so I skipped on that. Next time I go I'll probably try a pepperoni and a plain slice - unless they have Margherita, then I'll that instead.
