    a view of a grocery store

    This store is my happy place. I go out of my way to make a stop here if I am ever in Indiana for any reason. This is a perfect stop for anyone that loves to cook, bake or eat! Prices are a bit higher, but that is to be expected for a small, locally owned business. I have never left the store without finding something special (or a few things).

    If you love cook at all or know somebody who does... this is the store. If there is any kitchen gadget to be had, I am certain you can find it here. German knives, clay pots, kitchen towels, reusable straws with carrying case, cake pans, pots and pans and ladles... whatever you need to prepare that dish. The staff is friendly, helpful and most importantly knowledgeable. If only I lived closer... thank goodness I do not because I'd buy all.

    Across form the courthouse in Bloomington is a shop filled with kitchen items (utensils, bowls, cups, etc) and specialty foods (salsa, teas, bitters, mixes, and dressings.) What makes this place unique is that the shop is split into two halves, separated by a central hallway. The right half has more of the tools while the left has more of the food items. I was pleasantly surprised at the variety of options within each category. I will say that I have seen most of it in other places around town and central Indiana, but the shop had done a nice job of gathering them into one place. They also have a sign up sheet in the lobby area for cooking classes. If I lived closer, I might be tempted to get back into that again. Review #2309

    Got it all (almost) or will get it for you. A cook's resource. Products AND KNOWLEDGE. That's a rare combination in retail these days!

    The 3 things I bought today were the same price on Amazon, except it supported the local community.

    My family and I ventured down to Bloomington as part of our trip to Brown County for camping. Had…read morenever been here, and we found this co-op per the recommendations of a local art gallery owner. Bloomingfoods is a co-op. You pay a membership fee, and the workers there are part of the ownership. Immediately, you are hit with warmth and just that coziness you want in a local grocery store. Whole Foods ambiance but not corporate. There is a deli and a hot/cold foods bar. Produce and plenty of plant-based options to choose from. We definitely enjoyed the experience .

    After 14 years as a loyal customer, I canceled my membership at Bloomingfoods today. I won't…read moresupport a business that tolerates bullying and ignores people who speak up against it. Anyone who shops here knows unfriendly, rude cashiers are a long-standing norm. But this goes far beyond that. I witnessed deli employees openly mocking and laughing at a customer for wearing glasses, including using fake voices and calling them "nerdy." It was cruel, public bullying of someone who appeared to have an eye disability. The stuff of Disney schoolyard villains. Truly an insane thing to witness from grown men in work uniform on the clock. Here's the really disturbing thing... Leadership didn't even care. I reported it immediately and followed up many times (phone, email, website form, social) asking for leadership to respond. The marketing manager assured me that leadership was well aware of the incident. Two weeks later, I still haven't gotten a single response. I won't support a business that tolerates bullying and ignores people who speak up against it. Vote with your money and shop at the Bloomington Farm Stop Collective, where you can get local food AND be treated with basic human dignity.
