I tried the pina colada type smoothie called Waikiki and my husband had strawberry cheesecake with some lime in it. Both tasted very unnaturally flavored and were very thick. Mine reminded me of eating oatmeal, I almost had to chew it. I'm sure they were healthy though. Seem like very nice people who work there and some good looking pastries. Smoothies weren't for us though.

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.

The misty-eyed host wearing iconic ice cream parlor attire greeted me and rattled off the holiday discounts immediately setting the tone - it's like you're stepping into a place where sweetness and tradition meet. The vibrant Whirly Pops at the counter are like a candy store mascot, drawing you in with their oversized allure. And then the selection of classics, like Jelly Bellys, Candy Apples, Cotton Candy and M&Ms, immediately brought back a flood of childhood memories. It's like being transported back to simpler times when a bag of those candies felt like a real treasure. Miss Tilly's list of ice cream flavors sounded like a whole other adventure. Delicious titles begging for a taste test - Salted Caramel Praline, Razzle Dazzle, Coconut Almond, Espresso Chip, Candy Craze and Christmas Cookie. And with treats like Tiramisu Truffles, Rice Crispy Treats, Vanilla Cup Cakes, Chocolate Fudge and Gingerbread Bars, it's no wonder I felt that sugar coma coming on. How could anyone possibly choose just one or two when everything smells so good and reasonably priced? This place will really satisfy the sweet tooth of any candy enthusiast.

First, you can't go wrong with a smoothie. Yesterday…read more(4/30/2024) I visited this TS before going to work. I was on a timeline so I went inside vs drive thru. I ordered and waited. I then watched as many smoothies were being made and mine seemed to take longer than usual and it was getting close to being late for work. These 3 ladies were awesome. What I didn't know was they received a mammoth order and were filling the order before mine. I watched and saw the tickets spew out of their machine (online ordering) and they tag-teamed those orders AND got my order in my hand along the way. They did a fantastic job, they kept their composure and didn't let the tsunami of orders frustrate them. So if you visit and it seems like your smoothie is taking longer than usual, think to yourself "maybe they got a lot of online orders" instead of being frustrated that yours didn't come out in the regular time you're used to. Great job to those girls. Their smoothies are great, which is why I visit, but also they handle their business. Cleanliness: never seen it dirty. Friendliness: always cordial. Quality: always great tasting. Cost: appropriate. I suggest visiting and getting a yummy smoothie: I recommend sunrise sunset and add kiwi for extra flavor. Again, great job and kudos to those ladies.
