 Will you be doing any shopping at the new Earth Fare store at Winthrop Commons?Submitted by jason_wheatley on Sun, 2008-06-29 19:28. Q: What is organic food?Submitted by poppers on Thu, 2008-07-03 17:52.
A: Needlessly more expensive.  CorrectSubmitted by Enlighten on Fri, 2008-07-04 08:39.
And the one question the proponents of organics will never answer for me is this: The air surrounding your product is polluted. The rain that comes down is loaded with polluntants, as is the soil so how do you produce the product that is "organic?" I am all for my food being as natural as possible but I cannot afford to buy much of anything on a regular basis from Earth Fare. Can't believe the Winthrop students can afford 10 bucks a meal either. (There lasagna was great but was 7 bucks.) As far as the milk goes, that is the one product that is now within reach as a hormone laden gallon is $4. I am willing to pay an extra buck for less hormones...or maybe I could use extra hormones? LOL Trader Joe'sSubmitted by bigwally on Thu, 2008-07-03 22:36.
Personally, I think Trader Joe's would have been a much better fit for Rock Hill - still organic, but at discounted prices. I'm still not willing to pay $5.00/gal for milk, even though it is convenient. Just my opinion. trader joes my pick tooSubmitted by dianaflowe on Fri, 2008-07-04 08:01.
I too would have picked trader joes but since we didn't get it I will do some shopping at earthfare....just not on a reg. basis since they want your whole pocketbook to eat healthy.  A welcome additionSubmitted by loulamb on Wed, 2008-07-02 11:51.
What a great store! Maybe a bit pricey compared to the big chains, but in my opinion, it's a small price to pay for the benefits of organic and natural products - not to mention the variety they offer, and to be able to deal with well trained, friendly, and COURTEOUS employees. Also, glad to see a vacant building put back into use as opposed to new construction. |

Earth Fare
Love Earth Fare but could do without the crowds. I'll shop there when the newness wears off. Right now it's just a big turn off. When I see the packed parking lot... I just turn tail and run!!!!
