I was able to find a pretty good selection of plant based foods. The woman in the supplement department is extremely knowledgeable. I found a few goodies in the bulk section, including a very good curry blend.

Absolutely love Earth Fare; so glad its back in Johnson City! They have a great selection, the quality of the produce is excellent, and the bulk section is so convenient. The employees are the friendliest and most helpful of any grocery store Ive ever been to, and its so easy to make healthy choices. Im very grateful to have this store in town!

Very recently I was at the Earth Fare in Johnson City to shop for the BOGO blueberry sale.I had a pint of blueberries open on me and over half of the carton spilt onto the floor. They scattered like marbles. I picked up what I could and placed them into my shopping basket.I informed the employee (who works produce) what had happened. He just stared at me …. and after an awkward pause picks the berries off the floor and places all of them into the original carton. He hands the carton back to me as if nothing happened and says -“They needed to be rinsed off anyways”At this point I’m grossed out.I take the carton of blueberries that spilled on the floor to the front and and explained what happened to the employee at the register. She was empathetic and apologized for her employee’s conduct.I really hope that this location will work on implementing a more customer focused atmosphere in the produce department.

I applaud their adherence to a mandate that is helping to keep us ALL alive longer. Anyone with any sense cannot think that the entire world is in on a conspiracy. There is a horrible devastating virus going on on our entire planet, so, Thank You Earth Fare for both caring about those of us intelligent enough to wear masks for both our OWN safety and for the care of other peoples safety. Also, Thank You for providing quality food at a fair price.

Earth Fare has recently opened again and although it didnt appear fully stocked yet, I was so happy to see that the self serve bulk herbs in jars are back, and they have Bach Flower Essences again - both of which had disappeared before they had closed. My previous review, right after renovation but before bankruptcy closure, reflected my disappointment in the changes they had made. Maybe customer feedback resulted in the restoration of some of the things for which Earth Fare was known and loved. Thank you, Earth Fare!

Everything is overpriced and employees are not very helpful. Rude employee forcing people to wear mask. They will not have my business. I will never go back again. Funny thing is that place is so empty with empty parking lot and they act like they are superior than their customers. That place wont be in business long. I will be happy to see that place go. Farewell.

I just moved here from Massachusetts and was very happy to find Earth Fare, sure there prices on some things may be high but Im willing to pay for the food I cant find anywhere else and Im happy theyre selling beer now!

Earth fare is the best grocer - so glad they’re here in JC!

Great staff. Friendly and helpful. Really like this store.

Mandating a mask to enter a store is a violation of my civil liberties. I shopped at Earth Fare today completely unmasked until right before check when I was confronted and ask if I had a mask. I replied that I choose not to wear a mask. The staff replied it was a requirement to be in the store. I replied I will leave. I checked out and the same staff approached the man checking me out to tell him to keep a better eye on the front door as she glared at me. I will not be returning to Earth Fare nor will I recommend the store.

Friendly and helpful staff, good prices and best produce selection in town. Not sure why people are griping about having to wear a mask since Ive not been in a store in Johnson City that doesnt require a mask.

After a long awaited period of excitement for Earth Fare to reopen, we were devastated to be shunned at the door for simply not wishing to wear a face covering. “People like you can just use Instacart, then.” Not all of us can afford that luxury... Ashamed of our favorite store for bending to the will of corrupt government officials, and of the sheer and unabashed judgement from the people at the door.

Reopened on a smaller scale butThe store was clean and deli andhot bar looked good.

I love this store. Great place to buy organic / non-gmo / natural products. The produce section is beautiful and has a wide selection of fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs. I found items here that I havent seen in traditional grocery stores in this area. Some prices are a bit high, but if you pay attention to sales, its not that bad. They use paper, not plastic bags, if you happen to forget your reusables at home.This location does have a small cafe in it which serves fresh juices, smoothies, and more. I enjoyed the service overall in this store.

Great employees who keep a positive attitude even while having to put up with abuse from cruel people who only show up to shout at them about having to wear masks.Honestly guys, show a minimum amount of respect to your neighbors. You are _free_ to just shop elsewhere!

The selection is amazing. I love the atmosphere.

Returned back to this U.S. Region after 20-30 yrs. of being away and was happy to see this establishment which is similar to some degree to my favorite health market The Whole Foods Market up north my birth region. The factor I ABSOLUTELY BELIEVE is MOST GRACIOUS about such retail establishments as EARTH FARE is THE CAPABILITY TO FIND HEALTHIER FOOD CHOICES that dont raise your MEDICAL BILLS SKY HIGH! Earthfare is now closing this location and shouldnt. The people need to fight for those retailers that are trying to save their lives by providing healthier food choices than money-grubbing retailer-grocery chains who are just concerned with profits not your health.

They are mandating masks, which is ridiculous. I realize it’s a private business and they have that right, but I will not be shopping there.

They are marketing a going out of business sale. Dont waste your time. Im pretty sure they marked everything up first. They are selling a PAN of lasagna from the deli area for $100. This is not a typo.

I absolutely love the food there. So deliciously fresh. So much to choose from. If you got money your pockets empty rather quickly at this place. Love that they carry bulk all kinds of beans and grain etc. Eclectic variety of vegetables beautiful quality and fresh as can be

I used to really like this place for lunch, but after the remodel they removed their reusable plates and utensils from the buffet. What kind of place calls itself Earth Fare, and only has single use plates and utensils? When I asked a cashier about it, she just shrugged and said the reusable stuff vanished after the remodel. If Im throwing everything away anyway, Ill just go somewhere cheaper for lunch. After all, Barberitos is on the same plaza.

Love, love, love this healthy food market. They have everything you want in both fresh produce, packaged, bulk, and prepared healthy choices. They even have non-dairy desserts that taste AWESOME, as well as vegan freshly prepared deli items. I cant wait to go back for dessert! They have the only filtered water machine that Ive seen in a store, that has an option for alkaline water. You can bring your own container or purchase a container - either plastic or glass, in the store. Staff is friendly, I think they have a frequent buyer program also, just use your phone number. They also have daily/weekly specials that youll want to check out. I like that its small but a good selection, not overpriced like WF, and yet they have many specialty items that may be difficult to find. The staff could also order items if its not in the store.

Goodbye Earthfare, I remember when you were great! before your corporation became greedy and caredmore about profits than your employees. I sympathize with all the employees who worked hard with caring dedication and hopes of a future with promise, now where will they go! do you even care biggreedy corporations.

Two problems in 1 brief trip lights up a caution sign for me: the soup I got off the hot soup bar for lunch was straight-out-of-the-can cool. When I mentioned it, their response was to recognize the power was off and heat the soup. Unless they are confident that it wasn’t out there long, I vote for throwing it away and restarting! As I was opening the candy bar I purchased, I saw the 2018 date on it! This is Sept of 2019. I like how pleasant the new flooring and produce remodel is. I miss the variety of the cheese offerings. What will prevent my quick return, however, is my lack of confidence that the food is maintained safely.

My favorite grocery store in the world. Their food is all healthy (organic, gluten free, no preservatives etc) ... soon as i stepped into the store the aroma in there was so fresh it was amazing. Friendly employees AND customers. Some items are a bit pricey, but most are comparable to regular grocery stores. I LOVE this store!

Go there alot great organic foods also grass fed beef all affordable. Really amazing staff what more could you want. Love that store!

Earth Fare had a grand re-opening and I know they cant bring the old Earth Fare back but the new one has lost me. It feels so flat, cold, clinical and impersonal. The atmosphere used to be so comfortable but now I want to leave ASAP. Also, it seems like there is less than there used to be, and the rugelach cookies I got from the self serve case were not as good or bakery fresh tasting as they had been in the past. The entire deli/bakery area has lost its appeal for me.

Before Earth Fare close down the first time I would love to eat there all the time now to me the food is not as good example cheese lasagna has been out for 2 days and whenever you had your soup bar there are four now theres only two Dallas say I am thankful that your back Im just hoping in time things will get a little better I will still eat there almost daily

Horrible customer service, very rude to customers, overpriced items, long wait. Will not be shopping here again.

Great place to shop for natural and healthy food and nutrition items! Clean and well organized, good values on meat, seafood, pantry essentials and plenty of organic produce. Good beer selection and excellent hot bar + coffee and smoothies. Their desserts are also delicious! Friendly staff will help you with any questions.

I have been excited to shop in your store after the remodel since I started a very restricted diet. Your store is one of the few that sells items to meet that diet. Tonight my husband ran out to your store to pick up my favorite treat. He arrived at the store at 9:47pm, 13 minutes before you close. As he was getting out of the car a female employee locked the doors. Because he felt so disrespected he left and went to Kroger across the street. He found the items there, at a lower price, along with several other food items that we assumed your store sold exclusively. Thank you for giving me a reason to never shop in your store and experience your rude employees and grey meat that we all put up with out of assumed necessity.

Glad that Earth Fare is here in JC, with an overall excellent selection of goods. Need automatic checkouts though, because whenever I run in to just grab a few things I end up getting stuck in a long, slow line. Relatively good customer service though. Definitely worth a visit for the produce dept

I really enjoy the deli options especially the Live Dark Green salad. A little pricey in the seafood/meat department but worth it for the quality. Salad & lunch bars are consistently fresh, high-quality, and offer new and diverse options.

The hot bar is my go-to for healthy meals. Where else can you get a wholesome salmon dinner for under $10? Indian food night is a favorite. 1/2 off soups / specials on pizza by the slice on Tuesdays. This being said, I grocery shop mainly by whats on sale (sales run regularly) because normal prices here are pretty ridiculous compared to other stores for the same items. EF does, however, offer unique selections not found elsewhere locally.

Great selection. Was surprised at the amount of self-serve grains they had. Everything youd expect out of a health foods store. Pricey though!

We love love love Earth Fare. Their sales are amazing, their hot bar is usually great and it’s just overall awesome.

I would NEVER recommend shopping at EarthFare to ANY of my family or friends! Everything is in small amounts, overpriced, and employees are rude, unhelpful, and have bad attitudes. The lines are not usually long, but even 2-4 people in a line will be moving at a snails pace due to slow cashiers. Terry Vail, the manager, is a vile human being and Ive personally seen him yell at and scold his employees IN FRONT OF customers. Save your money and go down the road a few miles to the Natural Foods Market where I guarantee you will not be disappointed!!

Rude and argumentative staff.One team member tried to tell me my sandwich was hot when it was clearly cold. Another team member did fix the sandwich and made it very well the second time.Another team member wouldnt honor a price for salmon that I was told about earlier in the day. He said the original price was printed wrong and that was it. No apology at all.Never mind the fact I called and was quoted the lower price earlier in the day. We were buying several pounds so it was a significant difference.Awful experience with two team members. They are too many options to buy groceries or eat dinner to put up with poor attitudes.

Earth Fare has gone downhill since it was sold off to a bunch of know-nothing capitalists. What used to be reasonably priced is now overpriced. Also, the staff are not nearly as friendly or knowledgeable as they were in the first couple of years. When a competitor moved in a half mile away, I mentioned to an Earth Fare manager that their prices were on average 40 cents lower than Earth Fares and their produce and meat department was much better, she told me theyre not competing with that store. Well, they certainly arent offering that store any competition, and Earth Fare has lost most of my business to the other store. I think I just buy organic lemon juice there anymore.

A little pricey but it is all organic food so, but cant beat there quality on meats. They have an awsome salad and hot bar to. Good for a takeout or sit dow lunch if your in the area.

Nice selection of vegetarian and vegan food that you cant find elsewhere. Also makes the best in-house guacamole in town!

This is a poorly managed EarthFare.I have lived in two other cities with EarthFares, and have always had generally positive experiences, but this one is bad.Staff is lethargic, usually only one check out line open. Ive stood at the deli case for minutes on end waiting for someone to show up.I really dont care if theyre friendly/outgoing, as long as they can do their job efficiently, which has not been the case in my experiences at this store.Meat is not fresh. Purchased meat multiple times in the span of a few weeks, and it was smelly/past its prime. Things are often out of stock.Unfortunate, but I dont think I will be shopping here any more.

I love some of there items. The are expensive.

This store has its good and bad points. Some prices can be high, and staff has not proven knowledgeable in my experience. I mainly come here for odds and ends I cant find anywhere else.

Great grocery store. They wont allow certain ingredients that are bad for you on their shelves.

One of the nicer Earth Fares I have been to. Friendly staff & great selection!

Has a few things that other stores dont but they think they can charge more because of the show they put on. A gallon of boathouse juice cost $3 more at earthfare than it does for the same exact thing across the street at Kroger. Unless you like spending money on fancy packaging go over to Kroger.

So thankful to have this store in Johnson City. Great selection of foods. I especially love that they have a great selection of coffee.

Good food bar....nice people...oh and the music is not loud lol.

Good selection of organic foods. They also have a salad bar and a hot food bar.

This is probably my favorite grocery store in the area here. Their prices are generally comparable to Kroger. They also offer a great $5 lunch deal, which I highly recommend.

Nice change from local grocery chains. Great deals on healthy food & items.

I worked here. Management requires you to cut the mold out of the food, this is unsanitary, and not fresh ingredients. Do not eat/shop here. Visit a different earthfare.

Best prepared produce and cut fruit at a competitive price...a few exotic cooking condiments worth mentioning...prices are better than fresh market

Great supermarket for fresh produce, a broad cheese selection and organic and specialty products.

When they first opened it was pretty awesome, since some of my fav products were not longer avil, various college kids work there, some friendly and others just straight up rude.Prices are high on most of their stuff. Their beef USE to be good until it started coming from overseas, one thing after another and they went from being the major source of my families food to not even going there for 3 months at a time LOL... Aldis, Walmart, Grocery Outlet, Food City, and Priceless all get more of my business anymore.At first earth rot as we call it was trying to put on a good health front, but anymore they sell loads of straight up OBVIOUS unhealthy goods when trying to put up an otherwise front.Loud annoying music, overall just annoying place to have to shop.EDIT 2-4-20, Looks like Im not the only one that lost interest in earth rot, come the end of this month they will close down all their stores.

Souper Tuesday - Half off hot soups! Load some up and have nice warm soup for the winter week.

Staff is usually friendly at Earth Fare. And they have good sales, but also run out quickly. But prices high, and stock is low quality. Produce is low quality to very damaged, and very high cost. Most of what you get you can also get at Walmarts and its much fresher. Funny smells. Overpriced medical supplies.Need to get a Trader Joes in the area. :D

The bakery in this store has really gone downhill. The cookies and cake ARE SO STALE. 3 RD time in 2 weeks . Expensive and disappointing .

Good to get items that are organic and or certified humane. However dont expect to get any items that are advertised as being on sale or Deal of the Day, they always sell out b/c they never order extra.

Nice, clean store. Helpful staff. Good selection.

Good place to get good quality meat that is ethically raised, but just about everything else is crazy overpriced.

Very good place to visit for great items.

They have a wonderful variety of natural foods. Plus a bit bar.

My favorite place to go. I love it here.

Great concept but not quite like the store they emulate: Whole Foods Market chain who is superior in this industry. Earth fare has a lot to get done if they ever expect to even achieve that status. But apparently management cares less and is content to offer so-so services to its customers who are also content to accept so-so services. Finally installed a buffet but it lacks protection from elements in airspace so take your own chances with flu germs floating around. Be best if served by personnel behind protected glass (+ adds jobs for local college kids & youth). Store carries usual organic brands + some typical non-organic grocer - retail brands for some odd reason! Juice Bar hardly does any consistent business now so I hope management recognizes that flaw and institutes another viable option in that corner. BANE OF NUMEROUS PEOPLE - Prices of Organic Foods: Moderate-to-High / $$ - $$$ dependent totally on HOW you shop! KEY to affordability with organic foods is to buy 1st) For healing purposes primarily (not just for quantity). That being said, 2nd) Ask staff to wrap exact amount YOU want IF....IF you do not desire whole amount offered or pre-packaged (meats, seafood, cheese blocks, etc.). Staff will cut what you need and weigh & price it and VOILA! LOWER PRICE! The remainder of original package is then repacked and re-priced as well. That is how to afford FRESH MEATS & certain PRE-PACKED organic foods.It is always a great buy to purchase PLENTY organic veggies & fruits which have NO PESTICIDES, right. At Earthfare just forego the more expensive pre-packaged veggies & fruits (no matter how delicious they look, LOL! ). Heck, you can chop & containerize your own, right! And pay yourself the extra $ on another item somewhere else, LOL.😉But eating organic is not simply a matter of price. Its simply a reality question or two. HOW HEALTHY DO YOU WANT TO BE / NEED TO BE?HOW LONG DO YOU DESIRE TO BE AROUND FOR LOVED ONES & DEAREST FRIENDS?HOW MUCH DO YOU DISLIKE PAIN FROM DISEASE &/OR ILLNESS?Truthfully answer that and you have no darn good reason not to shop for organic food......and still control how much you spend.....while achieving your best health possible so that grandkid or child or elderly parent is still there for you to get plenty more awesome hugs & smiles!OODLES!SINCERELY & WITH CARING REGARDS FOR YOU & YOURS!See u at Earthfare I hope! The Lady with the Flaming Orange Purse! Orange is the New Black! (Uh, something to do with a tv show, well, eh! SHRUG! LOL!)

My boyfriend is a vegetarian and we love finding stuff for him here. Like a kid in a candy shop

Ive been going there since day one. Theirs been a few changes some Im not happy about but its a great store would be lost without it

Love the store. My only issue is that they often only have one register open.

Nice store. Great employees

Specialty store so you cant get everything you need BUT they have the best ingredients used in their tasty hot food bar!

STORE IS RUN BY DOG-HATING COMMIES!!!!!!!!Earth Fare used to be the ONLY store in JC that carried Halo Dog Food....they recently stopped carrying the dog food(but still carry the CAT food). When I asked about it,I was told Halo no longer makes dry dog food. LIES....LIES and SLANDER!!!! Not only does Halo still MAKE dry dog food,but the Earth Fares in Asheville and Knoxville still sell it!!!! Obviously,some cat loving anti-dog person is running the JC store and they are trying to starve our dogs to death. Why you gotta hate dogs,Johnson City Earth Fare? 0/10 WILL NOT SHOP THERE AGAIN!!!!

I like there Hot bar,but it seems like they never have enough people working. It’s like pulling teeth to get a smoothie if nobody is at the juice bar, and your always in a long line.

They offer a great variety of healthy organic products.

They have a great selection of coffees and teas... But the prices for everything else border on absurd and can often be found elsewhere for much less.

Good meats and cheeses, also good customer service.

They have a good selection of organic fruit and veggies and they have sales on it sometimes. They have a large bulk foods section.

Good selection. Often have descent deals.

Too expensive. But if youre into organic food and think its worth the money, this is your place.

Pumpkin-Choc.Chip Muffins! Thats all I sayin.....:-)

Clean, smells good, friendly and helpful staff, good location

They usually has everything we need when we visit

Nice healthy food selections!

EarthFare is always a great experience

Delicious Food, Awesome Store and Clean!!!

Overpriced and the employees dress like criminals

Amazing whole natural food

Great place and knowledgeable employees

Always a great selection.

Expensive but quality and we are worth it .

Awesome place to shop

Great selection of cheeses

Way too expensive for the average person

Get your hippy on!

Only place for true organic food

Great options

Great produce

Great.

Love my smoothie!
