There were a lot of signs about it being a co op and when I went in I was worried I would not be allowed to shop without a membership. I was very happy to find out that anyone can shop here!
If you’re looking for a quick bit to eat for breakfast or lunch, if you need snacks, or you want something you can’t find at a bigger grocer, this is the place! The prices were reasonable and the quality of the things I tried were exceptional.
I had a breakfast sandwich that I’m still thinking about a day later. I think they might have cut open an avocado just for my order it tasted so fresh! I got a bacon egg and cheese with avocado, I can’t remember what it was called and I added the bacon to the order but it was amazing. Thinking about that sandwich makes me sad I live two hours away.
I was looking for some fun snacks and found some great chocolate covered pretzels and vegan cheese puffs. They had a great mineral water selection, lots of vegan and gluten free options, and were very busy for lunch time but moving the lines efficiently.
There are 3 different check out areas - two at the front of the store and one in the back of the store. For the ones in the front, you line up facing the door. I was confused with it being my first time there and when I didn’t understand the directions I got from the woman who took my sandwich order and a regular customer offered to show me around before she could! Everyone was so friendly and nice in here from the staff to the customers. I felt overwhelmingly welcomed.
The positives of the store are it's clean, well lit, in a convenient location. Expect to pay at least twice what other natural food stores charge. Do not expect friendliness from the employees. Do not expect friendliness from the customers. Do not expect friendliness from the homeless people camped outside the front door. This is a store that has completely forgotten its humble roots and its first customers.
This place makes me want to move to Greenfield. I'm glad to see they will be moving into a larger building, perhaps next year. This place is a great healthy food and supplements store with outstanding grab and go fresh food. I ate two meals a day here during my five day retreat in nearby Deerfield. I'll definitely be coming back. I wish this food cooperative existed on the South Shore of Massachusetts where I live. A true community asset. Friendly and community based. One highlight is the hot soups. This is no soup in a bag. I really felt nourished by these soups which were full of vegetables. Also, if you are on a diet of keto, paleo, no grains, no sugar, etc. , note that there are easy grab and go proteins in the cooler.
Great local coop. A bit pricey but everything is local and freshly made. Great coffee, fresh breakfast items like danishes, home made bread, pizzas, etc. the best strawberries I’ve ever had somehow as well, whatever local organic farm made them really does a great job. Plus you’re not giving your money to a soulless corporation, you can be an owner. 5/5 rating. Also nice spots to sit for eating the food they have available, outside and inside.
Always a great place. Tight aisles and absolutely full of items, be prepared to really look for items you are not used to picking up. And don't forget to scan their prepared items, they have some delicious and allergy conscious offerings!
I just picked up a custom cupcake order from the bakery and they are absolutely gorgeous, I just have to leave a review. They smell incredible and I’m looking forward to my son‘s birthday tomorrow to see how excited the teenagers about them! Not only are they beautiful but they were able to accommodate our allergies and have many times in the past with other delicious desserts. I love Green Fields Market, I’ve been a member for a very long time, and I’m grateful that even with so many changes they have remained a business I can count on when I have a special occasion
I've been coming here for a few weeks now. Today will be my last time. Besides the store being too small and people not being able to navigate through it easily when there's only like 3 people in an aisle. Customers are also very rude just stepping in front of you or blocking the way, knowing full well you're trying to get to something. It almost seems like they think they're better than everyone else. Very judgemental atmosphere. I also came into contact with an extremely rude worker. He walked right up behind me and just yelled, "Excuse me." Then went on his way without saying another word, such as thank you, or an apology for sneaking up on me. As if I was making his job harder. Then I came into contact with him again at check out where he continued to display his poor customer service, asking me 3 times if I needed a bag after I said yes each time. Then, he tried to stuff all my groceries in a tiny paper bag when it was obvious that there was no way it would all fit. Until I asked for a bigger bag. You've lost my business, and any recommendations will be negative. Very disappointing.
Consistent food co-op quality. Good food. Some desserts, like Bliss Ball or Bliss Torte over the top excellent. Soups quite good. I am fussy and I will guess I really like 3 out of 5 every trip.(understand choices change). Drug store (wrong word but can't think of correct one) items are very good with people knowledgeable and polite. For small space, excellent quality. If and when they make their move to Wilson's old space, I have great hopes for all the space for variety in many areas. Sandwiches are good and not crazy priced for quality.
