Just Food Co-op

This quaint store offers a wide selection of organic and healthier food options that cater to those looking to make better choices for their overall well-being. While the store may be on the smaller side of something like family fare or Cub, the experience was nothing short of great. Personally I love coming here to support the natural more healthier options that this store has to offer. The ingredients on all of the items they sell are always a much healthier option. Also has a section for gluten free which is always nice to see. Everything is just laid out so neat and organized. They have a system for everything. There's a whole wall area section dedicated to just the different fruits available. The back wall boasts an impressive assortment of wholesale bulk spices section that I personally loved to see. I also really liked seeing the self serve ground coffee section! Variety of different bulk items, spices, and coffee beans. Yes, the prices may be a bit higher than your average grocery store, but that's to be expected when opting for healthier options. One feature that stood out to me was the option to purchase a membership card, which I found to be a great way to support the store and its mission. Also it said online about giving back to the community if you purchase a membership card! Additionally, the online platform provides a clear overview of what Just Food Co-op is all about, making it easy for customers to understand the store's values and offerings. I also appreciated the convenience of the straightforward layout and no-nonsense approach of Just Food Co-op made for a seamless shopping experience. Overall my personal experiences with this place are great! I would highly recommend Just Food Co-op to anyone looking to prioritize their health and well-being. The quality of the products, the convenience of the store layout, and the overall mission of the store make it a standout option for those seeking healthier food choices. Also they have a brand of chocolate milk that's a bit on the thicker side but tastes so sweet and extremely chocolaty! I also like how they have a hot bar option available for people as well along with crackers. Especially for on the go options if you just got done with work and headed straight to the store. There are some tables at the front area by the sliding doors in case you'd like to stay and read the paper or eat your food there. It's conveniently located a block away from downtown. It is close to the river and bridge area. The cleanliness, tidiness, order to detail, friendly and knowledgeable staff was a great experience each and every time I step foot in this store. Every time I enter the store it's never overwhelming. Everything is straightforward.

I have come to rely on the Just Foods Co-Op – Northfield for much of my groceries. We value supporting local, organic, and naturally sourced foods. For its retail space, it is quite remarkable how efficiently they stock my preferred selection of fresh produce, many artisan pieces of cheese, local and safe meats, as well as organic dairy products, gluten-free products, and items that are ideal for guests with lactose intolerance. At times we’ve been able to purchase Lactose-free cottage cheese, sour cream, and cream cheese – which makes it so easy when I have family in town as guests. They do a great job of keeping the hot bar stocked as well as salads, wraps, sandwiches, and soups to go. I still recommend going on the early side of lunch and dinner, as I’ve seen groups of students come in and really load up (maybe for a party or something). Over Christmas and the New Year, they have stocked the award-winning Welsh Snowdonia Cheeses made in the UK. My favorites by far are "Vintage Red Leicester" and the Extra Sharp Cheddar. We love seeing its strong volunteer base and how many locals consistently shop here. I drive from Farmington because they often have items that I want and cannot find elsewhere. Baked items, like scones and doughnuts, are brought in from a local bakery and are typically a day old. They have been great in taking my requests for adding an item, too. The Deli staff are knowledgeable and helpful. Often, if not too busy, they have come around to show me an item on the shelf or in the cooler that they recommend for my meal plan. I’ve come to trust their opinion. They have a large parking lot. The new renovation makes shopping aisle spaces easy to navigate with shopping carts.
