Down To Earth

The best selection of high quality vitamins and supplements. Amazing vegan food options, and the staff has amazing customer service and is knowledgeable about the product. The juice bar is great or a smoothie or juice and I love the black bean burger for a quick meal.

I love this place! Family owned and operated. It’s been in the area for over 20 years. They have the best inventory of high-​quality products I have yet to find in many other cities. They take great care to only order products with the highest quality standards and the employees are knowledgable in alternatives if they don’t have a specific brand you’re looking for. They’ll even special order products in for you if they are able.
The prices here are cheaper than at whole foods or other health food stores in the area. I could spend hours checking out all the cool products and trinkets they have.
Don’t forget to check out the awesome beer and wine room in the back of the store. Amazing prices with options for vegan, gluten free, etc.

Avoid the juice bar at all costs. Yes, costs. Unbelievable prices, in no way competitive with other juiceries or juice bars in the area.

I went to down-​to-​earth to purchase a smoothie. After using the dirty restroom I proceeded to place my order for the smoothie. It cost almost $ 10. They did not offer a premixed smoothie with what I wanted so I asked them if I could make my own. The base cost of the smoothie is five dollars. The only base that I used were the bananas. After the almond milk, peanut butter and whey protein, it got up to $ 10. I complained about the cost because I did not use three of the base ingredients because I replaced them with my chosen ones. The manager could have cared less. So basically, if you want a custom smoothie, you will have to pay $ 5 just for the cup and ice to get you started. Everything else is extra. They will not take into account that you aren’t using any of the base ingredients.

There once was a time, prior to the Whole Foods store opening in Mishawaka, as well as local Martin’s and Kroger stores expanding their organic selections, that I would drive a good 35 – 40 minutes just to shop at this store.
In particular because of the Whole Foods store opening, I really can’t find justification to continue shopping here. I was always disappointed during my visits at the very limited selection of produce offerings here, as well as the considerably higher prices for their vitamin selections. The store is cramped, outdated, and may not appeal at all to anyone outside of its generally niche consumer base.
That being said, rarely will you encounter such fantastic customer service from employees. The information that I’ve learned from the staff here on even my most casual past visits regarding terminology, vitamin quality, etc. has been very valuable to me, and always relayed in a manner that I felt like I was talking to a friend of many years instead of a store employee.
For better prices, quality, and variety, I would recommend Whole Foods in Mishawaka; however, for the best overall shopping experience, with recommendations and advice from very knowledgeable staff members that care about their customers, I’d say that the extra trip to this store would be worth it.

I’m excited to have found this market! I wish they had more organic produce, but they can only put out what is available (I came from central Cali which has tons of organic produce) BUT this place does have a lot of great food — frozen, fresh and dried. They have a great tea selection which I’m always excited to find! They have a REALLY great selection of vitamins and body products. They also have a pretty good selection of organic wines and beers. Check this place out!

This organic market is just about as good as it gets for the area. They have a ton of selections on everything from frozen organic pizza to gluten free cake mix and even tons of makeup. There is even an organic café inside that serves healthy smoothies and sandwiches!
I am definitely a fan :)
