So, Earthfare has come to Lakewood Ranch. I have to admit, I did not know what Earthfare was when it arrived. However, after the arrival of Fresh Market and Whole Foods, we knew that it was just a matter of time when a new grocery would enter the fray to entice the influx of Lakewood Ranch residents in the area. 

For those of you not familiar with Earthfare, here is a brief rundown on their philospophy. Basically, if it is artificial, has corn syrup or added hormones--it is not on the shelf at Earthfare. While that concept is not necessarily unique, I am not sure I have seen it employed to such scale and marketed so vigorously. In this way, it is leaving a distinct footprint on the doorstep of Lakewood Ranch. 

Earthfare is located at: 

The Green at Lakewood Ranch
11525 State Road 70 East
Lakewood Ranch Florida, 34202
