    There is, in a forgotten corner of Toledo, a building painted a green so vivid it should be…read moreimpossible to overlook -- and yet, somehow, the eye refuses to register it. This is one of the small, terrible cruelties of modern life. Inside this easily overlooked structure lives the Phoenix Earth Food Co-Op, where a small and lovely group of people attempt the nearly impossible task of living carefully in a world that punishes care. The shelves are clean. The lights are honest. The vegetables have come from soil that someone, somewhere, still loves. Here, briefly, the indifferent machinery of industrial food is held at bay by the careful arrangement of dried lentils. I urge you to find it. The difficulty of finding it is part of its meaning. What is worth knowing in this life is almost always hidden in plain sight -- and we walk past, and we do not see.

    Prices were fairly reasonable; the bulk herbs and tea section was fun and clean with lots of unique…read moreitems they didn't have at Claudia's, like chicory and ashwagandha; the produce section was small but looked good; they really have a pretty good selection and manage to fit tons of stuff in a small space. The neighborhood feels sketchy and I couldn't tell where to park; also, the staff could've been more knowledgeable - it was apparent the manager just hired someone to man the register, but who is clearly not a natural foods convert herself.

    Decided to get a few last minute holiday gifts. They often change stock so it can be interesting to…read morelook around. I like to get their soaps as stocking stuffers as they are interesting and most options are plastic free. They had some organic vegan chocolate as well as unique chapsticks. I overhead their eggnog sold out early this year so apparently it's very popular. The employees are very helpful and attempted to give me ideas on other brands or stores to try when an item I was looking for wasn't available (they have lots of sls free toothpaste, but they were also fluoride free). The store is always well maintained, clean, and organized. Everything is labelled with a clear price on the item itself so no confusion. Always a nice visit.

    Down To Earth is a natural foods and health store. It seems to be the only one in Mount Vernon…read more That's not counting places like Wal-Mart. It has a nice selection of health products. The prices are all over the place but comparable to other independent stores. I was looking for a few things and came in to support a local business. It has a pretty large selection considering how small the store is. There's several shelves of vitamins. It also has some food. They have vegan nutrition bars that are about $2 each, which is okay. I like supporting independent businesses. It's even better when they're health food stores. This is one of the coolest hidden places in Mount Vernon.
