The aisles are in a more sensible order. It feels bigger than before even though it isn't. It also appears to carry more items than the old WD. The employees are pretty much the same which is nice. They go out of their way to help. My only complaint is the bright yellow paint inside. I know...some may think what's the big deal with paint color? Reserve judgment until you see it yourself. Oh and you might want to bring your shades! lol

Yesterday I went in and I'm always reminded of the kind courteous service that I consistently receive when I'm there. From asking for the simplest of things the employees are always so kind and considerate showing care to towards the customer. I picked up a few fresh fruits and vegetables that had tasted better than some other local groceries. This isn't new but the reminder had me writing this review thinking how much I appreciate this Key Food. Then I went to the line where they have fresh cooked foods and the aroma is so wonderful. I've bought this food before too and yes it's always delicious, fresh and tasty better than home cooked but homestyle if you know what to do! I picked up a few Venezuelan Beef empanadas, some Carne Guissada or Beef Stew! I went and looked and had seen some chicken baked and seasoned so perfectly, boy was I right! When I can home the flavors were so good and the chicken tender beyond belief I'm sorry that I didn't get a few pieces more! Show some love and stop in this store is a great place to find fresh meat, seafood, the butcher is fabulous!

Extremely unreliable for catering or advance orders…read more We placed a food order a full day in advance, only to find out that the order had been canceled because we supposedly did not pay ahead of time. The problem? No one ever told us prepayment was required. No phone call, no message, no attempt to collect payment, and no communication whatsoever before simply canceling the order. When we arrived expecting an order that should have been ready, the staff seemed confused about what happened and somehow treated us as though we had done something wrong. We followed the instructions we were given. If payment was required in advance, it was Key Food's responsibility to communicate that when the order was placed. Because of their mistake, we are now behind schedule and scrambling to make other arrangements for food that was ordered specifically in advance to avoid this exact situation. The only response we received was essentially, "Sorry." An apology doesn't fix the fact that you canceled a customer's advance order without contacting them and left them hanging the day they needed it. If you're ordering food for an event, party, or anything time-sensitive, I would not rely on this location. Communication and basic follow-through are part of the job. This was completely unprofessional and incredibly frustrating. :(

Very disappointed with my recent purchase from Earth Fare. I drove 45 minutes specifically to pick…read moreup fresh fish for dinner and purchased two swordfish steaks at $15.99/lb, totaling almost $30. Before purchasing them, I specifically asked the employee working at the seafood counter if the swordfish was fresh, and he assured me that it was. Unfortunately, when we cooked the steaks, the fish smelled terrible. I tried a couple of bites from different parts of my steak, and the fish tasted rank and was not something I felt comfortable eating. For nearly $30--and after driving 45 minutes to Earth Fare because I expected quality, fresh seafood--this was extremely disappointing.

I've been coming here for years and I've found a lot of bargains. Some of those can be categorized as high end items as those are items that just don't sell well at your average retail grocer. Aside from boxed and canned items they also carry frozen items as they have two freezers. They carry a small amount of cleaners, pet foods, cosmetics and such. New in the back room where the used clothing and bric a brac is, you'll find some used furniture. All of the items they carry are rotating so what you see will not be there in a week but there will be different items.

I stop in here on my way home from work when there are good sales. I usually do the self checkout, which is simple here. Their sales are very similar to other grocery stores regarding the items. The prices here are definitely higher than most supermarkets. Compared to other locations I have shopped at, this Winn Dixie is relatively clean and neat. Most times I shop, there is at least one item on my list they do not have stock of. That seems typical of most stores nowadays anyway. Even though this store is huge, it seems like the aisles are narrow. The sales are very similar to other supermarkets in the area and sometimes are not as good. They do carry some unique products others do not carry in the area. There are 6 self check out registers, as well as registers manned by an employee. The deli items do not look like they are replenished often and their bakery items are limited.

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.
