This store featured a clean and vibrant produce section stocked by regional organic farms, bulk food aisles, and specialty health goods. Their full-service delis offer freshly prepared sandwiches, organic hot bars, artisan baked goods, and grab-and-go options. The downside is that these stores carry premium grocery pricing. In August of 2026 a rotisserie chicken was $22.00 and sweet sticky pork belly bites were $42.99 a pound.

I…read morewas already at the counter being rung out with my few items when a lady started demanding I wear one. I said how I've already been walking around the entire store shopping without one so I'll just pay and leave now and she said they would refuse my money before letting me pay for the items unless a mask with strapped to my face How about just letting it be done with since I am already literally about to walk out and reminding me next time there is a mask rule at this particular store (not all stores are like this) instead of being rather irate and causing a scene? They also charge a 5% tax for Covid-19 Employee Hazard Pay. You can opt out if you happen to read their little sign by the register and know about it but they conveniently don't mention it while making the payment......like literally every other single donation based program does. So it's basically a surprise tax that you either just deal with afterwards or look petty asking for it back because it takes it away from the employees. How about just pay your employees more money because you're a grocery store that clearly makes good profit? And maybe a tip jar so people can do so at their leisure? Does all that 5% really actually even go to employees? Certainly won't be shopping here again. Shame cause they actually h e some nice stuff that I didn't see in the other stores.

I am kinda of glad we were out of town or it is safe to say I would be there every weekend. Thank you.

Perhaps "Health Markets, Bakery?, Grocery" could help as additional categories for Yelpers to find them. Stopped by as we were passing through Grass Valley specifically because the storefront caught our eye and we are quick to be curious about anyone who is moving forward in the much needed fermented food niche. They​ create krauts made with different combinations of ingredients for delectable flavoring, from juniper to hops to apple! In addition are specialty​ products like probiotic olives and dilly beans. Ingredients are organic and locally-sourced. Sample one or all in order to choose your favorites. They also offer specialty ketchup, mustard, kombucha, and locally made ancient grains bread. The store is pristine, they sell ferment equipment including fermentation crocks (including one that is locally made!), hermetic glass bottles, how-to books, ​and other supplies. A great place to pick up what you need or gift to friends. The owners, Chris and Cristina are very friendly and welcoming. They're open to feedback and interested in widening their community of ferment​ aficionados​. Their product is found in local stores and they have a strong interest in supporting their local community and gut health​ while providing education​ about the benefits of fermented foods.

I came in here as I was in the area and wanted to get their tuna salad which used to be screaming! The lady said I would have to wait 20 minutes for them to make it so I passed. Then I said I will just have a coffee. She said she has to make another pot..5 to 10 minutes. GEEZ! I was the only one in the deli! Unfortunately they did not have alot of items to choose from. Very minimal fish selection. They transformed their dining area to accommodate Suishi in the raw but does not open until 430 pm. Hopefully that generates some business! I hope they can clean up the place and have a bigger selection. I will continue to go to the larger and newer organic grocery store in Grass Valley in the meantime.

The fact that anyone who is working the department will LOOK UP in their system what you actually need is even better! Example: my Dr suggested I take magnesium. But not what type. I go to New Moon (this was years ago btw) and Andrew was working. I was obviously confused by all the magnesium choices and he was right there. He asked what I would be taking the magnesium for. I told him, he went to their system, cross referenced a few things, then had the answer! This kind of service is on par with the rest of New Moon staff. The people who work there are all so helpful and kind. The store is always clean and we'll organized. The produce is in great condition. The juice bar is awesome. The sandwiches are so good. The grab and go options are typically very tasty. Yes, it's a bit more expensive. However, the products are all high quality and often local. Definitely recently New Moon

She ran my credit card over the phone and shortly after our call I scrambled down to Five Flavor Herbs where she brought the items out to me in a bag with my name on it. I am feeling so much better now and breathing through my nose again! I am so grateful for Lucy's kindness towards me when I sounded audibly sick on the phone with a very hoarse voice. From the bottom of my heart thank you Lucy for all of your help and the kindness you extended to me when I was in a time of need.

Brilliant blend of Eastern and Western modalities…read more They shine in their homemade tinctures. Their Adaptogen Blend: Ashwagandha, Holy Basil, Rhodiola, Schisandra, Licorice, Eleuthero & Milky Oat. Named Sustainable Energy, this organic-based blend will balance out many constitutions. Full Moon Blend supports cycles. Spleen tincture for especially demanding times. I was guided to exchange another tincture I'd purchased for pick-up, and I have to say, the second one she invited me to try was not only pendulum-confirmed by my body - such a positive read it was bouncing off my solar-plexus - it nourished my Spleen in profound ways. The Spleen formula she said was for students, and as I was finishing up my graduate thesis, this seriously helped. Thank you, thank you. She herself got her graduate degree in TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) and said this tincture helped her through her studies. (Wish I could give her credit by naming her, but will add it if I see her there, again. Very helpful.) She translated a wealth of information to me in succinct, kind and clear ways. I also appreciated that rather than have me get what I thought would serve me, she stepped up to confirm which choices were good and guided me to a choice that was better. This reflected proactive care. Each person here has an intuitive way of letting you do your thing while stepping in to assist at the right moment. I appreciate this. I used to frequent Scarlet Sage & Herb Co. in San Francisco before and after they changed hands and this is the closest I've found to that store's original conception. They have a deep respect for plant-medicine, here. They also have a down-to-earth vibe while consciously relating to and working with community in support of other locally-based people, businesses and products. Their tinctures are now spread out throughout the bay. I'd recommend going in person, however, as they have many additional tinctures that are either unavailable or sold-out online. Sanitizer right at the door. Social distancing practiced. Clear walls at the register. Clearly marked footprints on the ground as reminders. Got a solid Clary Sage here, too. Keep those dreams alive!
