Safeway has an in store bakery which has become a popular pick-up spot for company donut days. Tim…read moreHortons no longer bakes on premise, pastries are shipped flash frozen and reheated. Not even a close second to fresh daily donuts, muffins, pastries and a decent selection of artisan bread. In addition the store features an extensive deli and lunch counter. Sandwiches made on premise and grilled in a panini press are popular with the blue collar lunch crowd, tasty and reasonably priced. Gourmet heat and serve soup, packaged salads, sides and rotisserie chicken make for quick dinner options when I lack motivation to cook and can't con anyone into doing it for me. Starbucks has an in store kiosk which always seems to be popular. Free wifi and extravagantly priced coffee drinks are a big draw. I like the butcher counter. Fresh and breaded fish fillets as well as custom cut steaks and stuffed pork and chicken are available. Some grocery items are a bit pricey but they stock brand favorites I can't find anywhere else. The store is always clean and I like it's layout.

I am never disappointed at the help I receive from the Staff at Homesteader Health Foods.. I was…read moreone of their customers when they first opened their doors in Fort St John and have been a faithful customer ever since. Their staff is always ready to answer my questions, and when they don't know the answers are not afraid to find them. Anyone with questions about their nutrition, I would suggest you stop by, get to know the staff and see what they can offer you. They were the only place that I found Vitamin K in town.

I have tried my best to support this business but due to their high high prices, I find that I am…read morestarting to purchase my vitamins and probiotics online (either well.ca or nationalnutrition.ca). Homesteader's pricepoint is 25% higher than the online stores that I now shop with and that is a huge savings to me. I can still purchase my probiotics at a 25% drop in price online and that saves me anywhere from $15-20 per month just for probiotics! Plus, free shipping and they expedite their parcels fast. Homesteader does not provide very good service. One of their salespeople is absolutely wonky...she used her mystical 'feel' to zero in on the "right" product for me...I could not wait to get out of the store that day! As well, if you need something, you really have to ask not once, but probably two or three times for help. This store just does not put customer service as a priority. Another problem that I have with this store, they ask you for your address and phone number. Everytime you make a purchase, they say, " phone number". I never give my phone number or personal details but I decided to ask one day why they ask you for a phone#. The clerk said that when you spend (a lot), then you reach a miniscule discount level. I have stopped shopping at this health food store because of their prices. If money is no object to you, then you will find a good selection of vitamins, minerals, beauty products, birkenstocks, etc.
