GIVEAWAY! Welcome to Cleveland, EarthFare!

December 15, 2011 | Filed in: Uncategorized

For a Cleveland West Side native like myself – the idea of having a national chain healthy grocery store nearby has always been just a dream. (Sure, Nature’s Bin is totally awesome, but it IS small in scale if we are being honest.)

Once every few years there’s usually a rumor – like – “Did you hear Whole Foods in going in where the old Target it?” – and then the rumor slowly dies down (and no Whole Foods ever goes in Winking smile )

But alas – our dreams have come true! There is now a healthy grocery store on the west side!

Even better? It’s 5 minutes from my house! WOOOOHOOOO! Welcome to Fairview Park, EarthFare!

EarthFare invited me to come check out their new digs, and I very happily and eagerly accepted!

What sets them apart from other grocery stores is their food philosophy.

They won’t call a food “LOCAL” unless it came from within 100 miles of the specific store it’s sold at
If the item is stocked in EarthFare – it is guaranteed to have:
- No high fructose corn syrup
- No artificial fats or artificial trans fats
- No artificial colors
- No artificial flavors
- No artificial sweeteners
- No artificial preservatives
- No bleached or bromated flour
- No antibiotics or synthetic grown hormones (in meat or dairy)

That’s a pretty tough list to be stacked up against! Smile

The even cooler part?

If you find a product in their store that breaks one of those rules? You can send them an e-mail, they will investigate, and if you are right – they will send you a gift card! Isn’t that awesome?

The store has so much to offer – I was totally giddy the whole tour! (Imagine that!) Smile with tongue out

From bulk nuts, candy, grains, coffee and tea…

…to fresh nut butters and raw honey, maple syrup and agave by the pound!

One neat thing (especially since I think, as do many others, that some healthy supermarkets are way overpriced) they have their own brand/line – so that they can offer quality products at a competitive price.

There’s TONS of beer and wine to choose from (which always makes a girl like me happy!)

And lots of delicious looking prepared foods:

Fresh baked bread and bakery treats:

AND a salad bar, hot foods bar, Mediterranean bar, and a juice/kombucha bar!

I had never tried kombucha – but since they have it “on tap” – I was able to taste test it! Surprisingly good! (I was always terrified based on the pictures and reviews I had seen on some blogs!)

NOW HERE’S THE BEST PART!!! You can win a $50 gift card to EarthFare!

*Disclaimer: I was invited to tour the new EarthFare to learn more about their brand and philosophy. I was supplied with a $50 gift for myself, as well as a $50 gift card to give away to my readers in exchange for showing up. As always – the thoughts and opinions in this post are very much my own.
