Having just moved to Rolla, I was out searching for a few specific items and was quite pleased to…read morelearn that this store carried them. It is pricier than what I've paid for in stores in the past, but when you're in semi-rural Missouri, the bit of extra money is still worth it when it saves you from a trip to St Louis or pricy online options. I didn't have lots of time to browse, but they seemed to have a good selection of products, and I'll definitely stop in again.

If you want to buy nutritional supplements, support a local grocery store, or eat more organic…read morefoods, Foods for Health is the place to go in Rolla. Tucked away in an inconspicuous strip center, Foods for Health has had surprisingly good business for many years considering it's Rolla and Wal-Mart is only half a mile down the road. That said, the products at Foods for Health might be twice the cost of what you'd pay at Wal-Mart but you'll be supporting a local business and buying products made by smaller and probably more socially responsible companies. Half of the store is groceries and nutritional supplements where you can find bulk-packaged dried beans, canned goods, cereals, nuts, dried fruit, flours, frozen foods, local eggs and cheese, vegan cheese and ice cream, and every possible health supplement you could want. The other half consists of books on health and diet issues, cosmetics, and toiletries. Foods for Health also provides massage services which I think you need to do by appointment. And if you're turned off by the higher prices, go there after Christmas when they have a 10% sale. They also accept SNAP benefits (food stamps).

This store has a lot of the brands I look for, but they often run out of items that I need,…read moreespecially in the produce section. There have been so many times that I had to ask where the bananas were, beets, etc. Overall I'm so glad this store exists, because it is the closest to Whole Foods so far here, although it's also nothing like WF. It would be nice if they opened a location in the Southwest of town because it's quite a drive, especially when there's no option to pick up. It is so expensive at Natural Grocers which I was absolutely shocked at, but I guess we have no choice other than to spend the money because Columbia doesn't have a lot of options for organic food. I at least appreciate that the store exists. A common misconception is that Natural Grocers is cheaper than Whole Foods. It's not. I used to shop at Whole Foods in my old town and it was significantly cheaper, more items to choose from, and they actually have a meat counter which is missing from Natural Grocers. I spend double the money when I'm here compared to WF. I miss the days where you can go get all your meats from one store. I cannot find good quality meats here, but they do have some chicken and ground beef options that's packaged. But even then, they run out of it. I miss having the options. Some other differences between NG and WF---- Whole Foods has an option where you can order from an app and pick up in the parking lot. NG doesn't have this option. WF has a smoothie and coffee bar, as well as a hot food bar. The amount of people dissing WF to me is just insane. This attachment to "the way things were" in the Midwest and limited thinking has got to be changed here in Columbia. One thing I appreciate about NG is that they do not use Apeel, which is a big problem in other stores. The one thing I REALLY do not like about this store is the amount of rude people who work the cashier register, especially to people who shop a large amount of groceries at once. I don't want to say all of them because some of them have been very nice. However, there was one African American lady who you could feel just hated her job and hated ringing me up and would make snarky comments to me. It was more than once and very clear she hated what she was doing there. I did not catch her name because it was hard to even be around her due to how uncomfortable she would make me. Another person named Sloan is always passive aggressive to me and other customers when ringing us up. Every time I get rung up by these people, they seem extra bothered and have a rude, standoffish demeanor about them. Their behavior was just strange, unacceptable and lame. Especially someone like me new to the Midwest, these types of people are the reason I don't find Midwesterners all that friendly. They are ruder than people from big cities. I get very anxious in the store because I don't want to deal with some of the rude cashiers. The rest have been decent and one of them was exceptionally kind to me, but I forget her name. Management should help these people understand that even if they're annoyed with their job, we are the ones spending an exorbitant amount of money to help the business and keep the lights on, and possibly even your job. I get it, work sucks. But it's not okay to be rude to customers or act like you're bothered when you're ringing someone up. It sucks to only have one store and one option in town to go to, to get organic food. Eating healthy shouldn't have to be this hard or complicated. But overall, I'm glad it exists because without it we would have nothing.

They have a customer card that you can use and after you buy a certain amount you get coupons for discounts on future purchases. I won't be doing all my shopping at JC Health, but for several items that are not available anywhere else, it's convenient and very cool to have our own health food store:)

I never walk around Concord Plaza since it's more of a park and run into your destination type of shopping plaza, but this day, I took a lap and discovered what might be the best little health food store in the area. Mind you, this isn't difficult since this area really isn't known for their great health food stores. This place is small, but they have a huge array of great little foods. Most things in the store are completely organic, and if you are looking for something in particular, the woman behind the counter was more than happy to help me find it. In fact, she was great about suggestions for things. While I was studying for the bar, my stomach was more or less in a knot for 2 months and I needed something to help me relax, she pointed me in the right direction and all the stuff she gave me really did help me sleep better and made me just FEEL better. It was a nice thing to do for myself and completely worth the cash.
