Sad Times For Earth Fare Shoppers

Earth Fare recently announced that the company is now closing all stores and their headquarters in Asheville. I went to see what's left at my nearest Earth Fare store a couple times this week. During my last visit I was able to get a few snacks, but most of the food is now gone. The newly remodeled store looked so alive and well two weeks ago.

I've been shopping at Earth Fare stores since 1994. Years ago, Earth Fare was the only place I could buy specialty products designed for health-conscious people. I found the store in Westgate Shopping Center in Asheville by accident, and I was fascinated with the concept. I've always respected and appreciated their philosophy and the service they've provided. It seems that I may have purchased my last bag of Earth Fare products. It's really sad to see what's happening to one of my favorite stores.

I've enjoyed the Earth Fare store brand products. During this visit I purchased my usual tea, along with peanut butter and crackers.
