I initially met them 4 years ago when I moved to Knoxville to help a friend struggling with pancreatic cancer. We needed quality products to help him with the pain and other symptoms he was suffering. Mike was knowledgable about his product and his suggests were spot on. Though my friend passed, I continued to be a patron on GGB and consider both Mike and Christy to be indispensable people in my life. Without them, my time in Knoxville would have been much more difficult. I would happily refer anyone who needs relief from pain, anxiety, PTSD, or other hard to treat conditions to them for a diagnosis and prescription of just the right CBD product. If I could give them 100 stars, I would. Thank you Mike and Christy, I truly appreciate what you have done for me.

This establishment is NOT ADA compliant, if you have a service dog I suggest you report this…read morebusiness and shop elsewhere. I have been disabled for years and recently was blessed with a life saving companion that is not allowed in the store due to the owners fear of liability and complete lack of education and adherence to ADA laws regarding service dogs. I also have offered to help facilitate a meeting to discuss options for disabled customers with service animals to be able to freely shop in this store without discrimination, but unfortunately there has been no response to this. This store (and all stores for that matter) are unsafe for pets, and they should rightfully so be denied access, however service dogs are not legally considered a pet - they are a medical device and have been trained to not only avoid but ignore many distractions around them including but not limited to: things on the floor, edible items on shelves, other people and pets. Please make necessary changes to your illegal policy, I really did love your store and your help and knowledge on herbal medicine, but i refuse to wait outside and be treated less than the next paying customer.

Shoutout to the wonderful, kind, and knowledgeable Holly, who assisted us for our visit. Their tea is high-quality, and you can taste the care that goes into crafting each cup. The atmosphere of the shop is welcoming, homey, and the people here are so nice and knowledgeable about the products they carry and offer. Loved seeing the different items for sale that are created by various local artisans, too. There is plenty of cozy seating inside as well as a few dog friendly patio tables outside. The visit was relaxed and enjoyable - really a perfect place to unwind with your favorite cuppa. We thoroughly enjoyed the "Knox Fog" (a delicious take on a London Fog) and the "Butter Pecan Latte" (which was SO GOOD with nutty tones). If you're a fan of tea or looking to try something new, I highly recommend stopping by Tonya Rea's Herbal Tea Shop. You won't be disappointed!

It's kind of hard to see from the interstate. So don't miss pulling off here if you are in town..

Pushy people at the check out line acting like I was in there way - even though my transaction was not completed yet and I was trying to get my bags. And the in a rush young people fulfilling Amazon Orders for Prime or trying to stock the shelves - I can't tell you how many times I have been treated as is I was an impediment to what they are trying to do even though I am a paying customer trying to navigate my way through the store. it gets to me sometimes. There are too many people trying to shop in this store for the size of it. Too many people "In a Rush" to get on with their lives. I do feel like I am back up in the North East sometimes when I go there. The best times to shop are during Tennessee Game Days or on a Tuesday night of all things. I go there because they do have things that other markets in the area do not have - fruits, vegetables, organic products. I do like the fish market guys. I do like certain cashiers and try to always go to them. I do like being able to find certain products there that I cannot find anywhere else - . I do like their supplements. There are things I do like. But the whole Prime thing (order fufillment) has put a huge black mark by the shopping experience. They really need to train their restocking people to be mindful of the customers and to be a little nicer while they do it. But between trying not to get run over in the parking lot when I am trying to get into the store and not getting run over while I am in the store by the oh so many busy people in there, it has gotten to where my stress levels goes straight up when I shop there. What I will do is try to go during off hours, and I do try to do that. But this is a pattern. My opinion is that for the amount of customers they have and the amount of order fufilment they do - the store probably needs to be twice as big as it is. I gave them three stars - but like I said - it is always a stressful experience for me.

Earthfare in West Knoxville offers a great variety of organic produce, grass-fed meats and other…read morefood without artificial preservatives and sweeteners. It can be pricey, though, unless the products are on sale. NormalIy I would rate them much higher; however, today's visit left me wondering whether I should return. While the employee behind the meat and seafood counter provided helpful customer service, the other employees I encountered did not. One of the sale items that brought me in this day -- baguettes for 50 cents each. What a deal, I thought, as I later reasoned that the ad: "SAVE 50 cents each" -- meant the loaf did not cost a half dollar. As I walked through the bakery/deli aisle, I saw only one baguette in a large display basket. The price, $3.29 with 50 cents off if one also purchased a pound of chicken salad. The solo employee visible in the deli had his back to me as he was busy with a task. When I caught his attention, I asked him where I might find the baguettes. He said, "back there." i asked him if there were more. He said he didn't know and didn't offer to assist. As he returned to his task and with no eye contact, he added, "They must be sold out." I walked back to the lone baguette as another bakery/deli employee emerged. I asked her if it was on sale. She didn't know and instructed me to take it to checkout where the cashier would know. WRONG. He did know that customers would get 50 cents off if they also purchased chicken salad, so I brought up the ad on my phone displaying baguettes at 50 cents off with no chicken salad attached. Such a small issue, yet with a reputation as a top-notch store, one would think customers might encounter employees skilled in top-notch customer service and product knowledge.

I am happy to have EarthFare in West Knoxville. These days, there are not many true "health food /…read moreorganic" stores. That concept is dominated by Whole Foods and/or incorporated within regular grocery stores. All that said, EarthFare is a unique place and very convenient for those of us in this part of town. I really like the unique assortment of items here. Great produce, bakery, meats, bulk nuts/snacks, and cheese. They also have some really good deals from time to time. Seriously, you can actually find a few bargains here. The prepared food is good too. But, the hot bar is inconsistent. Hard to know when they'll have food or if it'll be good. They could easily improve on this. Same with the yogurt selection -- it's pretty sparse. Overall: Good local/regional healthy grocery store. I recommend giving them a try.
