I love Garden Patch and have been shopping here for years! They always have rare finds, my favorite being Ice Cream for Bears. They were the first in the area (and still may be the only?) to stock it. Ray is always open to suggestions and will often order in products that are requested which is really great. Garden Patch is my go-to local store for local items and organic/specialty products! read more

People are always helpful and prices are better than other stores. They can usually order if they don't have it. I have shopped here for years and just would like to live closer. read more

There's variety to pick from..healthy options. If you want to be healthy or healthier I would recommend to go check it out.

ALways smiling customer service;) I feel very well there shopping for health brands and veggies read more

Such a gem of a local grocery market. Please keep shopping there neighbors so we can keep them in business forever!

03/21/20 and into the Coronavirus pandemic, Ray and his great Garden Patch staff are doing all they can to keep the shelves stocked and making sure everybody finds what they need. This is a gem of a natural and "health food" store in the best of times. Now with this pandemic to deal with, it shows how wonderful they truly are. They're not the size nor hipster look of Whole Paycheck, er ah, "Foods" , which is literally just around the block, yet my wife and I always start at the Garden Patch first, then go to the Amazon Grocery store, or the local Meijer or Martins to touch up anything we missed. Lucky to have Ray and the Garden Patch peeps around! read more

The Garden Patch is a natural-foods/health-food store that is worth visiting for its selection and charm. If you're used to fancy, image-conscious places like Whole Foods or even humbler, homier places like Trader Joe's, you'll be skeptical of The Garden Patch at first. Its interior design and layout seem like afterthoughts, but once you've visited a few times, you'll realize that they have a pretty large selection despite their small size. When I lived in South Bend, I used to visit The Garden Patch about once a month. It's a little pricier than the local supermarkets, but it also carries items they don't. read more

Unassuming, to put it politely, but filled with organic treasures. Pricey in all the ways you might expect, like frozen meats, but many good finds particularly in herbs and spices. They even carry DMSO (look it up) though only in liquid form. Didn't see anything fresh, so check out Saigon Market in downtown SB on Fridays for the fresh and exotic veggies and of course the Farmers'. The staff are very knowledgeable and seem to have been in the business for a while at least. Nice source for you health fix. As for friendliness, I find it is returned in proportion to how it is given. read more

Garden Patch Market - The entrance is not visible from the street, so look for this sign. - Health Markets Near Me - Mishawaka, Indiana

See all

They have an always there to answer my questions whether it's abo about food they are most kedgeable about everything in their store.

I really like The Garden Patch. It's so fun to shop at and smells like the health food store I used to work at. They have a good selection of natural items with decent prices on many. read more

We went here yesterday and LOVED it. Since I am an avid popcorn eater, the organic popcorn here is definitely cheaper than what you would find at Whole Foods. Also, I was impressed with the organic milk. The milk here contains no preservatives, hormones, GMOs, AND the cows that produce the milk are not fed GMO feed. At Meijer, however, their organic milk does not make the same claim about the feed for the cows. I will be getting my milk here from now on. Though I will only drink it sparingly, I will have it on hand for oatmeal and cereal. I am so glad I found out about this place. read more

I went to Garden Patch for the first time yesterday. What a little gem! I can't believed I've lived a few blocks away, and hadn't tried this store until now. I was particularly impressed by the customer service! It was a hot day, so Ray gave us a bottle of water on our way out, and let us pick out a free cloth bag for being First-Time customers. This will definitely be the place we shop for our dry goods, for now on! read more

This is an excellent health-food store that carries a wide variety of products--many grocery items that are hard to find elsewhere, plus laundry and dish detergents, eco-friendly garbage bags, cosmetics, toiletries, herbs, bulk grains and dried legumes, books, frozen foods, essential oils, greeting cards, vitamins and supplements. Everything is reasonably-priced and the store is always clean. Previous reviews seem to question the layout and size of the store. To that I say, "Who cares?" I shop there to buy things that I need that I can't find elsewhere for decent prices. Also, concerning the friendliness of the staff, they're perfectly nice and will answer any questions that you have. I enjoy my visits there. read more

Lovely locally owned and operated health food store with a variety of natural foods, vitamins, body care products, and specialty items. Ray, the store's owner, is incredibly inviting and gracious and makes each customer feel genuinely valued. The excellent customer service alone is enough reason to shop here. You know you're not contributing your money to a giant corrupt corporation, as this is a single privately-owned local business that really cares about the community. There's an annual customer appreciation cookout that offers FREE delicious grilled burgers (veggie, organic beef, and bison) and all-natural hotdogs (and veggie dogs) along with sides and beverages. Love this store! read more

My first visit was great. Plenty of parking.. lots of my favorite products and brands.. they were very nice and helped me find some what I needed quickly. Plus they gave me free chocolate samples... I will be back soon. read more

I get the worst customer service at this place. The old couple that run it are terrible. If i don't get good customer service no matter the price & variety of goods, I don't return. I gave them more than one try and I'm done. This is based on my most recent experience. I was purchasing a bottle of shampoo. They had some sales tag posted. When I went up front it was priced different so I inquired. Old man check the price and comes back and asks me where did I see the sale price because this one isn't on sale. I made a mistake and told him it probably was a different shampoo then and apologized. He made some smirk comment to the next person in line as I left out the door and laughed at me. He acted like I was trying to rob the place. Yeah for a dollar...give me a break. This is a prime example of why people use the internet to shop. Well if Whole Foods doesn't have what I need, I'll order it online. B&M businesses are losing so much to the digital world. Apparently this store doesn't recognize it. We'll see how long they last. You won't be getting my hard earned cash anymore! read more

Super cute little market. Love the local meats and cheeses. Lots if gluten free, organic options as well as a great selection of sulfate free dried fruit. My personal favorite is the wide selection of ginger ales are root beers. Every time I go in I find something new and fantastic. read more

I really like the store, prices are lower than most and the people are friendly and helpful, love the carob chocolates....they are my treat on occasion,,, great place to get your goods! read more

I've been shopping Garden Patch for years. They have a large selection of options when it comes to grains, spices, vitamins, supplements, and diet-specific needs like gluten-free, dairy-free, organic, and vegan. Their prices are better than the any of the supermarkets in the area, including Whole Foods, if you have a clean diet standard. This business that has kept its high standard for years. Go to Garden Patch if you want high-quality whole food at a good price. read more

I love going to The Garden Patch. I always go thinking I just need a few items and walk out with a whole cart full of goodies. My kids like it because, unlike most stores, I almost always say "yes" to the items they pick out there. read more

I have Celiac and love shopping in this store. They will order bulk flours for you, have a wonderful selection of gluten free food and will special order items if they are not on the shelves. I no longer have to drive to Shipshewana to get my GF fix! read more
