Yesterday I went in and I'm always reminded of the kind courteous service that I consistently receive when I'm there. From asking for the simplest of things the employees are always so kind and considerate showing care to towards the customer. I picked up a few fresh fruits and vegetables that had tasted better than some other local groceries. This isn't new but the reminder had me writing this review thinking how much I appreciate this Key Food. Then I went to the line where they have fresh cooked foods and the aroma is so wonderful. I've bought this food before too and yes it's always delicious, fresh and tasty better than home cooked but homestyle if you know what to do! I picked up a few Venezuelan Beef empanadas, some Carne Guissada or Beef Stew! I went and looked and had seen some chicken baked and seasoned so perfectly, boy was I right! When I can home the flavors were so good and the chicken tender beyond belief I'm sorry that I didn't get a few pieces more!

Before purchasing them, I specifically asked the employee working at the seafood counter if the swordfish was fresh, and he assured me that it was. Unfortunately, when we cooked the steaks, the fish smelled terrible. I tried a couple of bites from different parts of my steak, and the fish tasted rank and was not something I felt comfortable eating. For nearly $30--and after driving 45 minutes to Earth Fare because I expected quality, fresh seafood--this was extremely disappointing.

Most times I shop, there is at least one item on my list they do not have stock of. That seems typical of most stores nowadays anyway. Even though this store is huge, it seems like the aisles are narrow. The sales are very similar to other supermarkets in the area and sometimes are not as good. They do carry some unique products others do not carry in the area. There are 6 self check out registers, as well as registers manned by an employee.

Walking into Earth Origins in Ocala feels less like entering a grocery store and more like stepping…read moreback into my childhood. Long before Whole Foods existed... before wellness influencers... before every grocery store suddenly discovered "organic"... my parents owned health food stores in California and New York during the 1970s and 80s, back when most Americans barely understood what a health food store was. I grew up carrying whole wheat, avocado, mayo and sprout sandwiches in my lunchbox when other kids had processed snacks and white bread. My mother was giving health and nutritional talks decades ago and still does to this day. The funny part is the kids at school loved my avocado sprout sandwiches so much that they would trade me their Twinkies for them. Twinkies were absolutely a no-no in our household, which of course made them feel like pure treasure whenever I could get my hands on one... even though I knew they were terrible for me. Healthy living wasn't a trend in our household. It was simply the way we lived. And contrary to what people think now, this knowledge is not new. Ancient cultures understood the connection between food, health, longevity and lifestyle long before modern America rediscovered it and turned it into branding. Tibet is a perfect example. Entire cultures have understood preventative wellness and intentional living for centuries. Back then, health food stores were different. They were deeply personal places. Independent. Passion-driven. Families built them around education, community, and a genuine belief in helping people live healthier lives. Then the industry began to change. During the 1980s and 90s, large corporations started buying up independent health food stores across America. Chains like GNC expanded aggressively through acquisitions, converting many small family-owned stores into standardized retail locations. In fact, GNC actually bought one of my parents' stores years ago and turned it into a GNC. Later, companies like Whole Foods, Vitamin Shoppe, and major investment groups helped transform what had once been deeply local, community-driven businesses into national chains built around scale, branding, and mass-market wellness. That's why Earth Origins still feels special to me. It still carries echoes of the old Mother Earth health food store that once existed here in Ocala. The scent in the air... the supplement aisles... the atmosphere... even the energy of the store instantly brought me back to childhood memories of standing inside my parents' stores decades ago. There's something comforting about walking into a place that still feels connected to the original spirit of the health food movement before it became mainstream. For me, Earth Origins doesn't just feel like shopping. It feels like home.

I was meaning to stop here for months after moving to the area and finally made myself go during an…read moreerrand run. I have been here several times over the years. I have shopped here so specific items and also just to browse. Since we do not have a Whole Foods or Fresh Market, and Sprouts is on the other side of town, Earth Origins is the next best thing. I have been exploring plant based products for the last couple of years and attempting the more holistic route so Earth Origins definitely assists with that. I will say, the prices are astronomical for many products but reasonable for other products. The produce department is super small, with only organic options, and not many options for vegetables or fruits. They have a small salad bar, which is measured by the pound. There is also a hot soup bar, with I think 2 options but they close that early-maybe around 5pm? There is also a deli/ seafood/ sushi counter where you can purchase a la carte items, with premade options already packaged for grab and go. They also have ramen you can order! Next is a bulk area with a huge selection of nuts, coffee, seeds, legumes, snacks, etc. I finally purchased some during my last visit. I was a little slow in figuring it out. You put the items in a bag, then tie it with a wire tag, then write the UPC code # on the tag so the cashier can type it in. There is also fresh nut butters and honey and pastries in the same area. There are aisles of dry goods, supplements, vitamins, personal care, snacks, beverages, and treats. There is also a small wine section, with a lot of local wines. Lined up against the back of the store and the last aisle are refrigerated and freezer items. I always purchase items in the area! If you join their membership, you receive special deals daily. If you bring your own bags, you receive a 5 cent discount.

My husband went to your Ocala Walmart service department to have an oil change. Upon leaving he…read moredrove less than 1 mile and the car was smoking very bad. He turned around immediately to return to your service department. The mechanic staff started questioning my husband if it smoked prior. He replied absolutely not the car is kept clean. You can clearly see that. They requested he open the hood upon inspection the dipstick was missing and oil was all over the right side of the engine and that's was unacceptable. One gentleman tries blaming the other for spilling the oil during the refilling process. He of course denied. Prior to leaving the second time, I looked underneath my wife's vehicle wet with oil and the ground had a small puddle from just sitting. Another gentleman found my dip stick that was missing. It was still inside the service garage. The 4th gentleman came out once he saw who my husband could only assume was the service manager talking with my husband along with the female cashier for the service department. He was very knowledgeable. He asked me to pop the hood again and start the engine. Once my husband started the car oil was spitting everywhere. He said just a minute I know what the other problem is. He came back with a new oil filter and a rubber washer/Gasket. Once he opened the oil filter housing he showed me, someone had forgotten to reinstall the washer/gasket. My husband was like "wow that's crazy." If he'd actually ignored the smoke and attempted to drive home roughly 20 miles the engine would have blown up. My husband requested the oil that was spitting all over the right side of the engine and bottom of my car be cleaned before he leave. He stated he couldn't. He wiped up as much as he could with a rag and sprayed water on the underside of my vehicle. My car is well cared for and well maintained. That doesn't solve the problem of the appearance of oil drips and splatter underneath my vehicle. What is your company's solution for cleaning my altar of the oil spill? It's not like the place was busy. So why the rush? What if my car is damaged? Who can afford new vehicles this day and age?
