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.

Upon entering the store I definitely had that aldi/save a lot vibe. No frills kind of store but decent savings to be scored. Is it a one stop shop kind of place.. not by a long shot. Can you get a really nice meal on the table for cheap, yes! If your a "I only buy this brand" kind of person this place is hit or miss with items. If you don't mind substituting here and there this place is all you need. The check out is pretty time consuming because they have to manually enter items, but the employees hustle and are super nice. All the customers when I went were friendly even in the wait Honestly I would have bought more if I was a local gal.. I am still working on finding that land to buy, but honestly I am glad I went in because when I do move here it's on my list of places to visit.

IGA advertises that they are cheap and that they are affordable, but every time that I have been there, it seems that the prices are a little bit more than where you would find at other stores. I think the reason that this place would appeal to me most is because of the simplicity and the convenience for me as this is the closest grocery on the East side of town. I think the best place to shop, for me at least, is Aldi's and I guess I'll go there instead because the green leaf lettuce there is fresher and will not go bad as quickly as the $4 lettuce that I bought at IGA.

Easy in and out with fast check out. Want someone to carry your purchase to your car? Yup, they do that too. With this glowing review you're probably wondering if I work for IGA. Answer: no I don't. I'm just singing the praises of a store that is doing a great job meeting my wants and needs without me feeling like I'm part of a herd.
