Earthfare Philosophy

Per Earth Fares website: www.earthfare.com, their food philosophy is the following:

No high fructose corn syrup
No artificial fats/trans fats.
No artificial Colors
No Artificial flavors
No artificial Preservatives
No artificial Sweeteners.
No Antibiotics or synthetic growth hormones in fresh meat or dairy products.
No bleached or bromated flour. 

Given the state of our food these days this is a pretty big list of things they stand up for which is what most of us need. I like going into this store and being able to buy anything and know that I don't have to double check for my biggest pet peave, high fructose corn syrup.

While their food can be a little pricey, it's great having piece of mind and of course better quality food is always more expensive.

When I first ventured in I discovered I had seen a lot of these brands previously at other stores I shop at so I made a mental note of the other great brands that I can purchase other places.  In fact I have now taken it a step further and I actually review their monthly flyer and right down the brands that I now know are safe and try to locate them elsewhere, whether online or a store closer to me. I live about a half an hour away from Earth Fare but I still like shopping there and I love the philosophy behind their food!
