The staff are so friendly and happy to help with questions. The shop is small but packed full of delicious, high quality meat at a very reasonable price point. Yum!! I have to give a special shout out to the bacon choices...I can't wait to try them all but tasted the Peppered Bacon & Pecan Wood Smoked and I've never had bacon this delicious! The Pecan Wood is so unique- never seen it before now and I'm not sure why as the smoked nutty flavor is exceptional. They also carry a variety of cheeses from a local FL dairy farm- I got the sliced white cheddar and made a steak sandwich with their thin sliced rib eye...WOW it was truly amazing. They also just started carrying grits from GA that absolutely shine. Thank you so much for caring about your products! Can't wait to be back!

Very disappointed in the customer service experience I received…read more There were several issues with their online ordering system and the owner, Jan, took no responsibility for them and told me it was my fault. First, after placing my order, my email receipt said it was a pickup order. Which was frustrating enough because I made sure to double-check the shipping address since it was different than the billing address (this was a Christmas gift). I called and straight things out or so I thought. Next thing I know I have a package at my doorstep from them. I immediately informed them of the mistake and to my surprise I was blamed for everything and it was my problem to deal with. I couldn't believe how poorly the owner was treating me for their poor service.

This is a nice market with rows and rows of locally grown produce, baked goods, crafts and nik naks. A lot of nice hand made items too. It's quite large, easy to get around. You can walk the whole market in an hour or two. I love supporting local small businesses. We had a good time buying honey, hand made candles and some unusual Florida Gator gear.

Every inquiry by text or phone was met with silence or anger that I was bothering him. Received less than 370# of beef, with 150# being ground, no tenderloin and don't believe it's our steer. Was told we would only get sausage from our hogs but received 130# of processed meats and no sausage. Definitely not our hogs. I figure we were shorted over 100# of beef and 100# of pork. Did I mention that this was for a charity?

Terrible customer service. They do not communicate with customers, had to drag cost info out of…read morethem the day before pickup. Doesn't have meat ready by time processed. I left many messages and never received a call back. I finally had to do research to find an alternative phone number which I did on the USDA website. The man who answered claimed he was the owner was not pleased, he was unpleasant. Dropped off 3 pigs. Two were around 250 lbs, third was 300 lbs. At pick-up it filled 1 cooler and half my freezer. I've raised pigs in the past and two pigs usually fill my freezer. So, seeing that 3 did not fill it up completely says there is something wrong. You don't lose 60% of your live weight when butchering. I truly think I picked up someone else's order. My cut sheet requested bone in chops and ground pork. All the meat was boneless and there was no ground pork. I found Italian sausage and this was not ordered. I contacted the owner that day an explained the situation. All he kept saying was he wasn't a liar. His son in the background said there was no way they weighted that much and kept calling the pig's pot belly. I asked if they could please supply me with the weight when they were dropped off the pigs and what the hanging weight was. They do not have that information. I asked if I could have a copy of the cut sheet, they do not have that either. I also wanted to know how long the wait time was from drop off to slaughter. He had no idea. Not even a receipt was given at pick-up. Everything seems to be shady. The owner was so rude, it was my fault for second guessing him. My statement to him was humans make mistakes. This may not have been intentional. I would like this to be looked into. I was told he would think about it. What is sad is after researching this company more, they are many unhappy people. And we all have the same reasoning. I even discovered they were suspended due to "establishment did not handle or slaughter animals humanely" in June 2023. That really scares me. Do the animals get fed while waiting? How many days do they sit from drop of to processing?

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.
