    Harvest Time is such a wonderful, well stocked, interesting, and valuable store to visit in the…read moreAugusta area. The cashiers have always been friendly and helpful when I approached them. 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.

They have a ton of local food, gluten free options, and obscure healthy finds that I had read about online. Plus the greatest little gift shop area. Candles and fragrance oils make the place smells incredible.

    Natural Living Center in Bangor is a top-spot for plant-based eaters like us. (I can't speak for…read moretheir non-vegan produce; but, they seem to carry a lot of local meats, dairy and such.) Their products run the gamut, including a large Asian section. Aisles are nice and wide; lots of refrigerators. Overall, it's clean, bright, and well-stocked. Produce section is, overall, good with a lot of local goods. That said, they sometimes tend to leave withering and browning veggies out on display WAY beyond attractiveness going into decay. (Our last visit had the same rotting celery on display/sale from a visit several days earlier! It was pretty gross-looking. Thus, 4 instead of 5 stars.) Other than that one glaring negative, customer service can be spotty and downright oblivious (but, it's status quo for much of today's young workforce). And, too, expect maximum pricing on, at least, plant-based/vegan products. (Can rival Brewer's Tiller & Rye for outrageous pricing!) These negatives aside, NLC offers a great variety for vegans in Bangor that can't be overlooked! (But, in all honesty, living in Bucksport, we tend to head to Belfast to shop plant-based. However, Natural Living Center recently started carrying a good number of locally-made Midcoast Vegan products (which we LOVE!), so that looks to be a lure for our steady return, for now. And the Asian section....)

    The environment is organic and not stiff. Much better than T&R in Brewer - It has wonderful,…read morehelpful, knowledgeable staff that are always around to help. The prices are a little higher than my husband would like to pay, but I don't feel like I am being stolen from as in many other natural food stores. They've been around forever, and I will continue to take my family here as long as they are! My son & daughter have both looked forward to our weekly trips for 15 years

    This is the closest store where I can shop and get organic fresh vegetables in the seasons when I…read morecannot harvest from my garden and greenhouse. I do not purchase other products as the prices are higher than I can get them elsewhere. 80 percent of the time I have shopped in this store I have been overcharged. Make sure to ask for the itemized receipt and check it carefully to make sure you are not overcharged. When alerting the check out person there is no real apology only some explanation that does not really explain why I was overcharged. I used to buy packaged lunches that were made by Chow Mein and last time I was there I was told they have decided not to carry their products any longer. I no longer shop at Fresh Off the Farm. Oh, one other thing, as far as I know there is no actual bathroom for workers, only a portable toilet outdoors. Concerning since they handle produce, etc.

    I do not go to this store on a regular basis and today reinforced my decision to go to other stores…read morethat offer similar products. The staff butted in front of me without any "excuse me" or other acknowledgement . The cashier did not ask for my number so that I could have my purchase count towards my rewards. I grew up and have lived here all my life so I am not a tourist or from away. I will never go to this store again after the treatment I experienced today. I work in retail and I would never , ever, treat a customer in this manner. if I could give a negative number that would sum up my shooting experience.

It's astonishing that I have only been in this store twice, given the fact that I grew up in Brunswick...Anyway, i finally made it in. It's a smaller store, that feels like what you might encounter in a larger city. It was neat and clean. I couldn't really tell how aisles were organized, however, because I was browsing, it didn't stress me out. We encountered one staff member who "assisted" my sister and it was fine, very transactional, which is fine and again, what you might expect in a big city. Staff at the register were fast and efficient, didn't engage in too much conversation, just supportive of fruit pies I purchased. LOL They had a lot of offerings from some of our favorite local businesses! Standard Baking Company Little Lads Two Fat Cats Union Bagel The prices were competitive as well! They have fresh produce, meat, dairy, eggs, seasonings...pretty much everything you can find at Whole Foods but at a smaller more local scale. I can't wait to go back the next time in town.
