I enjoy browsing through Natural Grocers when I visit my family because my current city doesn't have a Natural Grocers. This store sells affordable organic produce, small selection of meat/dairy, healthy grocery items, natural personal care items, a large selection of supplements, and nontoxic household items like laundry detergent. This store even has nutritional health coaches that can coach you on a healthy lifestyle habits , weight loss, and more. I enjoy coming to natural grocers because I constantly find high quality supplements and amazing nontoxic beauty care items and essential oils. The prices are affordable and the products help me focus on living a healthier holistic lifestyle!

I always am happy to see natural-type food stores in small towns, and that is certainly the case…read morehere. This seems like a labor of love for them, and I am glad that they have stayed in business for so long. A noteworthy feature of the store is the prepared food selection. I'm not sure if there are any regular restaurants with organic-type food in Platteville (I doubt it), but at least I know that I can get something to eat here. They have hot food for lunch several times a week, plus soups and various cold prepared foods every day. The selection of bakery goods is especially nice. Everything is prepared on the premises, and they also have a very nice dining area in the converted apartment above the store (up a steep staircase). The vegan vegetable soup that I tried was excellent, and I also enjoyed the lemon shortbread cookie that I tried. I was disappointed, though, that even though I was informed that everything is organic, that actually is not true of the meats used in the prepared food products. So I plan to steer clear of foods with meat in them when eating here in the future, since I do not do well with meats when the animals have been fed glyphosate-contaminated feed. I actually threw the chicken salad that I bought away because it was inedible to me. I wish I had read the ingredient list before tasting it, rather than trusting what the store employee told me about all the prepared food being organic. The fact that they are using non-organic meats in the prepared foods seemed a little odd to me since they actually have a very, very nice selection of organic local meats in the freezer section. So it must just be that they are trying to keep costs down on the prepared foods, in order to increase sales volume. That is not a strategy that I really approve of, but it may be necessary for them to stay in business, I guess. As is evidenced with the prepared food, there seems to be a strong vegetarian/vegan emphasis throughout this store, with many such products being stocked. The fresh produce section was pretty good (though i am not sure what it will be like in winter months). I bought some frozen ground lamb and thought the quality was very good. It has been hard for me to get good lamb here and so will be buying that from this store again. They also stock New Century organic pastured eggs, which I have found in the past to be very good quality for eggs available in a supermarket. Those eggs are no longer being sold in Galena/Dubuque though, and so I very well may make special trips to this store to buy those eggs during the winter months, when it is harder to get good eggs from local producers. The selection of cheeses was pretty good, though with the local products, it would be really helpful to know what the animals are eating (e.g. grass-fed, organic feed, GMO-free feed, conventional feed). It would be pretty easy for the store to collect that information and supply it, if they chose to do so. I thought it was nice that there were a variety of store-made frozen soups being stocked (though I would not eat a high percentage of them since they were made with non-organic meat). I was not particularly impressed by choices of packaged goods products stocked by the store, since I feel that in many cases that they had not selected the better products from various categories. A lot of their products were non-organic and had ingredients such as "natural flavors" in them, for instance. In addition, I felt that the packaged goods products were across the board quite high-priced. I would like to see more local packaged goods too. I guess in keeping with their lunchtime focus, their selection of drinks was quite good, and the prices on these were not too bad. Again, all in all, it is great to have a market like this in a town like Platteville. If I lived in town, I would likely come in regularly to buy produce, meat, eggs, cheese and prepared foods. And I undoubtedly will go out of my way to stop by again when I am in this general area or when I need eggs or lamb.

I found everything I came in for which shocked me. I originally thought I would have to order online. Huge selection of protein powder which included the Garden of Life brand which in my humble opinion is the best protein powder on the market. I was able to pickup Hawaiian spiralina and barley grass powder both hard to find locally. They also had some of the best prices on large bags of nutritional yeast. As for the produce, I thought it was a little pricey but good selection of organically grown items. In found a lot of great healthy snack options in the middle aisles such as kale chips, sea weed sheets and nuts. Their natural personal care products selection had a good variety to choose from as did the supplements section. This store reminded me of Sprouts Farmers Market only with a much smaller produce department. Customer service was awesome. They do have some boxes but best to bring your own bags.

They carried a good range from local cheese maker WW Homestead and also had a nice variety of Wisconsin cheeses along with some imports. The cider selection really came as a wonderful surprise, though. I used to cider being given a short shrift compared to beer. Instead, they had a great variety from local cideries, and I even bought a bottle from Belgium! My husband found a few new beers, too. If and when I come here again, I'd love to look through more of the store, even as I check on the cheese and cider anew. This is definitely my kind of place.

It took two staff members 20 minutes to make two sandwiches "made to order". We stood there and had no idea why it was taking forever. They did toast the bread.

We bought a large bad of chips and a tea $2.29 and our total for two "no extras" sandwiches, the tea and one bag of chips was $24 and change. Still can't believe how puny the meal was. Only two veggies before you're charged .99 for extras. I expected it would be substantial and filling. Otherwise the store was clean, and has lot of options for foods and natural products.
