Given that it is just steps from foodie palace 5&10 and just minutes from all the gastronome Normal-towners, EarthFare is a no-brainer for those needing in-season produce, organic vegetables, and cruelty-free meat. For those familiar with Whole Foods – it’s basically the juggernaut’s baby brother with an extra stress on local product. Bread comes from Athens’ own Luna Bakery, vegetables come from local farms, and foodie-centric items such as canning supplies and fresh potted herbs are for sale near the registers. Those who don’t feel like playing Chef Keller, ready-to-take-home foods are also available. If you are serious about food, you shouldn’t be seen at any other grocery store.
Pros: Fresh food you cannot buy anywhere else
Cons: You’ll pay for it
