Read MoreCan you tell we’re simply nutty over nut butters?
If we’ve got one nut butter in all eight GreenAcres stores, we’ve got dozens! Everyone from kids on up love our nut butters.

The Paleo diet—it’s hard to pin down just exactly what it is. Matt, a GreenAcres owner and store manager in our Bradley Fair store, follows the Paleo diet.

Read MoreFermented flowers, you say?!
What’s in a name, or a logo, or the shape of a product? Apparently, everything. Take a look at Fentimans’ Botanically Brewed Beverages.
