They have a tremendous variety. I live in a retirement community and buy half-bushel every week to share with others with whom I live. Fun thing for me to do and my neighbors love the apples too. Some have even started going to Wells themselves. I also buy farm raised eggs there. They often resell excellent cider from top farm cideries. Their jams and jellies are great. Friendly people.

Great deals on bushels of Romas in September for canning/freezing. Come Fall, look for tons of pumpkins, winter squash, apples, and cider! Used to be located off of Four Mile, it is now off of Walker Road just past Bissel headquarters.

The service is always incredible and it's always under crowded which is a huge win in our book. Their prices, you just can't beat $11/peck of apples. That's ridiculously incredible. They also have events at their farm-- concerts where they sell hard ciders with a sandwich, to puppy happy hour, to story time for kids... they're definitely a special place. The property is so well kept and clean throughout-- they make it a no brainer to come back! And for the love of everything, grab their homemade donuts.

You literally have to walk around and hopefully find someone who will help. Most just say they will call someone over, and good luck getting a team member to show up. Their on-site Starbucks is a disaster. Serving stale and moldy banana bread. (It's not their fault, by the way. They claim they "just put it in the bag.") Managers just walk the traditional Meijer corporate line here. They want to keep their jobs and will admit no wrong doing whatsoever. So much for small town hospitality, right? Most times this place is crowded with the GVSU crowd. The idiot and the entitled masses seem to think that they own this place. They won't look up from their phones and be bothered to move out of the aisles. Again, the local store management allows all of this nonsense because they want the revenue.

I am now 17 years old and have over 60 hives, and I am constantly striving to deliver the best quality products to my customers.

I take pride in the fact that all of my products are locally sourced and of the highest quality.

I often struggle to buy goods…read morebecause many stores sell items in such large quantities that many foods go bad before I can eat them or I have a lot of used up pantry space for partial bags of goods from recipes. Earthly Refillery allows you to come in and be more intentional and sustainable when shopping. You can, and are encouraged, to bring your own reusable containers for shopping for everything from food and drink to cleaning supplies! They have a wide array of different pantry and fridge staples you may need, including the very necessary ice cream from local business Furniture City Creamery. the fridge had a really cool assortment of beautiful flavored milk and fun drinks. If I remember correctly, there were even sections to get kombucha. I really liked the areas with treats that you could buy such as caramel popcorn as I often just want a little! The staff is very kind and helpful but not overbearing which I really appreciate. The instructions are very clear for how to do everything so I think it's pretty accessible. I'd definitely stop by here the next time you're at studio park. Definitely could be worth taking the dash or riding your bike over to get some goods!

If you're trying to live a more sustainable lifestyle, this is a great spot to shop. They carry bath, body, and home products, as well as some produce, bulk pantry items (grains, flour, oils, vinegar, etc.), frozen fruit, spices and seasonings, and more. I found my favorite plastic-free deodorant at their other location, which they also carry here (Little Seed Farm). You can even bring in your empty glass container and get it refilled! They have a shelf of donated containers if you need something to dispense into, and they also take donations of clean containers. There's a sheet of paper on the wall asking what people would like to see in the store - I think that's such a great way to understand your customers better and I agreed with several of the items listed (like non-dairy milk). So excited to have this awesome store right downtown, and I hope they do well in this spot!

I loved that they had a few items that I wasn't even sure of what they were, it was a learning experience. Make sure to check out the mushroom selection - holy fungi they looked amazingly beautiful...pink oyster mushrooms, yes, I'm going to find a recipe for these! Looking for a quick meal, check out their to-go selection of salads and such. I didn't stock up on any food items this trip for fear they would have to sit in the car too long, but next time for sure. I really enjoyed the kitchen gadget selection and spent a lot of time browsing. The bargain of the day....a bottle to make homemade salad dressings in, complete with recipes printed on the outside of the bottle...they all sound delicious and I cannot wait to make them. Best part - under $5 people! I picked up a very nifty stainless steel, BPA-free beverage holder that says it keeps cold drinks cold for 24 hours - 24 ounces, should really help me get my daily intake of water while sitting at my desk for those long hours during the workweek! A sign said, "WE DON'T SELL IT IF WE WOULDN'T BUY IT FOR OURSELVES" and that is truly evident by their amazing selection. Don't pass this place up the next time you're at the market!
