Earth Fare

Earth Fare is an American health and wellness supermarket chain specializing in natural and organic foods. Founded in 1975 in Asheville, North Carolina, the company has grown to operate numerous locations across the southeastern United States.

The company is committed to providing high-quality products free from artificial additives, hormones, antibiotics, preservatives, and high-fructose corn syrup. Their product offerings include organic produce, meats, dairy products, and prepared foods catering to various dietary needs and preferences.

In 2020, Earth Fare faced significant financial challenges, leading to the closure of all stores and the filing of Chapter 11 bankruptcy. However, the brand experienced a revival in June 2020 when select locations reopened under new ownership.

As of March 2025, Earth Fare operates 16 locations across seven states, including North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Florida, Ohio, and Georgia.

Community and Quality Commitment

The company emphasizes supporting local communities by partnering with family producers, farms, and businesses that share its mission of providing clean, natural ingredients. Their commitment to quality is evident in an extensive selection of non-GMO items and gluten-free products.

Stores feature various departments such as bulk foods, prepared meals, and wellness products to enhance the shopping experience for health-conscious consumers.

Strategic Expansion and Focus

In recent years, Earth Fare has focused on strategic expansion and improving the customer experience. Despite challenges in the retail industry, the company remains dedicated to promoting healthy living through access to natural foods.
