Our Story

Founded in 1994, GreenAcres Market set out to make Wichita, Kansas a healthier place to be. Our first store opened at 21st and Rock Road in Bradley Fair, and it’s been a launching point for ideas ever since.
Back then, health food stores were rare.

The community needed better options, so we built one. Through research, education, and a carefully chosen selection, we’ve been growing that mission ever since, one knowledgeable conversation at a time.

A Woman-Led, Family-Built Business

GreenAcres began with one determined woman and a simple belief: that better nutrition could change lives.

After her own health journey revealed the power of clean food, founder Barb Hoffmann turned that mission into a business. In spring 1994, Barb and her husband John opened the first GreenAcres Market at Bradley Fair in Wichita.

That single store grew into a woman-led, family-owned natural foods market across Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma, with daughter Shannon carrying the vision forward.

A New Chapter, the Same Mission

In July 2024, after 30 years of building GreenAcres into a Midwestern institution, the Hoffmann family passed the torch , joining a new family! 

Barb called the decision “bittersweet,” and made sure the things that mattered most carried forward: the team, the community, and the mission to help people live healthier lives. That mission is still the heartbeat of every GreenAcres store today.

Healthy Living, Long Before It Was Trendy

We’ve seen a few health fads come and go. Long before organics went mainstream, GreenAcres carried the best certified organic produce, natural groceries, and supplements in the area.

Organic, fresh, and clean food is at the core of who we are. And every time you shop with us, you’re supporting local producers and retailers and a more sustainable food system.

Our Commitment to Natural Health Education

Founded in Wichita, Kansas, GreenAcres Market began with a mission to make healthier choices easier to find and easier to understand. Our first store opened at Bradley Fair in Wichita, and we built our reputation on quality standards, knowledgeable staff, and a deep commitment to natural health education long before organic food became mainstream. 

Today, GreenAcres Markets serves shoppers looking for an organic grocery store in Wichita, an organic grocery store in Oklahoma City, and a trusted natural food store in Lawton. Across our locations, customers can find organic produce, clean grocery staples, humanely raised proteins, chemical-free health and beauty products, home goods, and made-from-scratch deli meals prepared with organic ingredients. 

Knowledgable Guidance & Support

In Wichita, GreenAcres Markets serves the community through our Bradley Fair, 21st & Maize, and Normandie locations. We also serve customers in Oklahoma City at Walnut Square and in Lawton with the same focus on fresh, natural, and organic products, plus expert guidance in supplements and wellness. 

We believe healthy shopping should feel personal, whether you are buying everyday groceries, shopping for a specific diet, or looking for convenient curbside pickup and delivery at select stores. More than a market, GreenAcres is a place where better food, better wellness, and better living come together for communities in Wichita, Oklahoma City, Lawton, and the surrounding areas.
