OUR STORY...
GreenAcres Markets, Your Healthy Food Experts
Barb Hoffmann, GreenAcres’ founder, set out to make Wichita, Kansas a healthier place to be. She opened the original GreenAcres Market in 1994 at 21st and Rock Road in Bradley Fair. At the time, health food stores were rare. Along with her husband, John, and their daughter, Shannon, Barb ventured to make healthier options available to the community. Through research and education, product selection, a unique shopping environment and expert staff, they continue growing this mission today.
The Hoffmann family and the GreenAcres team are committed to healthy living essentials; organic produce, humanely raised proteins, top-tier supplements, chemical-free health and beauty products, natural soaps and home goods. Growing to 7 locations in Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma with dedication to these principles, the GreenAcres team is grateful for each shopper who chooses to purchase from local producers, support local retailers and support sustainable food systems.
Just Getting Started
Since 1994, GreenAcres Market has been a launching point for ideas. Among them, a nationally syndicated radio show, Health Talk with Shannon and Matt, that aired from 2000-2006 and cutting edge advertising programs that achieved national recognition. GreenAcres features the brightest and best products in the natural foods industry. Award winning products and the most knowledgeable team in the industry make GreenAcres the best choice in healthy shopping. We are truly committed to alternative health education.
Since first opening the doors, GreenAcres Market has seen a few health fads come and go. Long before organics were mainstream, GreenAcres Market proudly carried the best quality selection of certified organic produce, natural and organic groceries and vitamins and supplements in the area. Organic, fresh and clean food is core to GreenAcres mission. Love of organics carries over into GreenAcres’ Deli, where organic ingredients make up the bulk of all recipes.
