I know exactly what to say about Wild by Nature, but I must admit I'm conflicted about how many…read morestars to rate it.
Others have said this before me and they are spot-on because it's the simplest way to quickly describe the place to someone who hasn't yet been - Wild By Nature is like a mini, local Whole Foods. By local I mean it's located nearby, not that they prioritize local produce and products, though they do have them, of course. And mini, not as in micro-mini, but definitely smaller than WF and smaller than other local supermarkets. But they do carry everything you need to support a healthy lifestyle from fresh and frozen produce to cheeses, to meats, baked goods, packaged goods, vitamins and supplements, greener household cleaning, and specialty diet fare. Oh, and beer. Vegetarians and vegans, gluten free folks, keto practitioners, macro lovers, and everyone in between ... just about everyone will find what they need here. Unless, I guess, you're primarily looking for frozen dinners from giant mall food chains. Then you may be kind of out of luck.
Even I can shop here. I'm a mostly-plant-based pescatarian who tries to shop zero/low waste and package-free as much as possible. This is the only place I know of near Huntington that has a bulk section for grains, beans, and flours, and even coffee. I can even get most produce (yup, even mushrooms!) free of packaging which should be an easier thing to find in general, but it's not. You'd think I would be shouting to the heavens THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE TO SHOP! But I do have to admit I balk at the prices - specifically for the produce. Packaged goods, sure you can get them cheaper elsewhere. Larger stores have bigger buying power. That's no secret. But as someone who mainly goes for produce, I don't shop here every week. When I need to hit the bulk section, I do my entire list here, veggies and all and it's all good. Wild By Nature, you'd get me through the door weekly if you offered even a small section of "ugly veggies", especially local ones, at lower prices. Just a thought.
I've yet to visit the deli counter or the juice bar, and I've never attended any of their classes, but they're there if you're interested. That and prices aside, I am happy they're in town and I'd be sad if they weren't. So there's that.
