My husband and I have always been a bit shocked at the prices yes. So we have not shopped here much…read moreover the past few years. But. Not wanting to spend another $50 on lunch at the usual places in town we decided to grab some tuna salad today and eat outside. I bought an Asian salad with noodles and peanuts and carrots and incredible dressing. I swear, this was the best salad I've had in months if not years. I'm not kidding. Even the carrots stood out, were different. Delicious. The fennel is 2 or 3 times bigger than fennel at the grocery stores, $4.99 (usually about $3.99 at the others) 4 kinds of plantain chips. Fantastic low sugar pineapple soda from Mexico. Beautiful corn. After eating this food today at a picnic table over on Pemaquid Pond, we are doing a complete reversal and going to start shopping here a lot more. Yes it's expensive but vegetables do taste different, esp when they're not flown in from far away. And the attitudes of the employees is joyful and welcoming, such a good feeling. Good Job Rising Tide!

So I had this desire, but what could I do with it?I I got on line, and decided to call Rising Tide, I spoke with their front desk manager Kate, who is fabulous by the way, and within no time she jumped on board my bandwagon. They don't have a delivery service, but another wonderful employee said she would be happy to deliver my gift. Within an hour they put together a lovely gift bag for me. Fresh flowers, a bottle of red wine, an array of organic chocolates, a yummy creamy cheese, specialty crackers, grapes, and a lovely card. Kate even wrote my personal sentiments inside the card for me. In about one hour they took my desire to do something nice, and brought my wish into fruition. Talk about angels on earth!! Kate accidently forgot to charge me for the grapes, and wanted to pay for those herself. I can never say enough about the employees of Rising Tide Co-op and their hearts for service. Bravo my friends!! Thank you for all you do!! You deserve acknowlegement for just being you! You can bet if I ever make it back to your area, Rising Tide will be my first stop! I can't wait to meet you!

Every single time I visit Morning Glory I spend way more money than I was expecting to (and leave…read morewith way more stuff than I came for)! How can I not when they carry products I... a) have never heard of b) have always wanted to try and had never been able to find before c) can't find anywhere else From healthy looking organic produce, to a plethora of gluten-free cereals, to the odd can of locally made beer that was sold out months ago in Portland, to frozen and refrigerated foods not carried elsewhere (like vegan salami! like vegan cheeses you've probably never heard of! like locally made - not just artisans from Cumberland County, but Androscoggin and Sagadahoc too!). Morning Glory is truly a natural foods store paradise. I drive out of my way to come here - I think it's probably the best natural foods store in Maine! - because there's so much right about this little local spot (prices, variations on themes of items, the smell [how can we bottle this up?], the candle and other home goods/gift options, the seasonal items, the staff seems more willing to help than ever before, even the space itself is welcoming despite it being overly crowded with shelves and people). I'm proud to support my local independent grocer!

I was just in today on the 17th of January 2026 and I bought 1 lb of venison deer meat for well…read moreover $10 and found out that it was expired on the 13th of January 2026 after I got home I immediately went back to the store and asked them to give me a discount or to give it to me for free because it was well past the 13th expiration date he then gave it to me and told me I could have it but when I asked for a refund of my money as well after he had given the steak to me he reached out and took it back and went to the back of the store and brought me out a frozen block of non-expired product of the same thing so he wasn't obligated by their company policies and like every other company that sells food nowadays is obligated to give it to you at a discount or free and certainly when you discover that it's several days expired past this expiration date didn't give me my money back he intentionally withheld my money and didn't even give me the expired steak which they were going to throw out I'm extremely displeased with them he argued with me for several minutes no one damn well he was in the wrong and then he also had the nerve to threaten me with the police when all I wanted was my money back and I had proof with my receipt and everything that I needed so he just bought himself an extremely bad review and they're going to be lucky if I shop there from now on and I'm going to make sure all of my friends and everybody that I know what kind of company natural food stores is and that they don't honor their policies especially when it comes to expired products mainly food he basically told me I could have it was going to give me my money back and then change his mind after he handed me the steak and I had it in my hand he took it back from me out of my hand and walked away returning with new stuff as I said just to deny me what I had every right to have so that's why I'm writing this bad review so you can expect that they will treat you the same way apparently I wouldn't expect anything less I wasn't going to expose this but I'm tired of this kind of crap going on companies not honoring their policies when they're supposed to so if I were you people I would think twice about shopping there and definitely check the expiration date every damn time because they're selling stuff on purpose 7 days old and charging people full price for it and then when people realize it they're calling them liars or that it was marked wrong well if it was marked wrong then that's their fault they have to honor it just saying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Their selection of vitamins, cleaning products, skincare, herbs, and teas is one of the best in the state for a small, local health store. In the Summer and Autumn, their selection of local produce increases. This year they have done a great job with local organic seedless watermelon and a nice variety of local organic vegetables. The dry goods section is not as expansive as one might find at a big box grocery store, which feels pretty reasonable and is even one of the reasons the store is nice.. it is a genuine, locally-opened small business.. not powering a huge space or warehouse to hold 12 varieties of one packaged item where 1 or 2 types are great. There are still many staple items to choose from. The costs I have compared are not more than the costs of items if they were ordered directly from the producers, they seem fair with prices. They are such a great addition to the area I try to think more of how I can support them instead of focusing on and criticizing minor shortcomings that most small local business face. I look forward to going to Harvest Time and finding interesting healthy things every time.

I'd recommend not shopping in the late afternoon as the traffic in that area gets pretty congested.

They are very helpful and friendly, and it is wicked nice to have them so close to my house! Edit: last time I was there, the owner made fun of my taste in food and refused to order something. Maybe she was just kidding though.

They had seedlings for sale too, also local. If you like shopping at your local co-op or farmers' market this is the place for you!
