Grillin’and chillin’…it’s what’s on the Labor Day menu!
Never too hot to grill you say? Well then don’t put away the smoker or the cooker for at least another month. It’s going to stay hot right up to the end of summer, and since grilling is considered an art by many, it’s really never too early or too late in any season to…
Read MoreDrinking through a straw can cause wrinkles?!
Yep! That’s what Matt found out when he started researching the Top Five Problems that can lead to premature aging. Well, if that’s the case, we’re all doomed. Most of us have been sipping through straws since we were babies, or at least since we were weaned from our sippy cups and on to (horrors)…
Read MoreA Derma e beauty talks about the importance of facials, moisturizing and radiating!
Besides good genes, what really helps skin look ageless? Three years ago, when GreenAcres had its radio show, we interviewed a young woman educator from Derma e, an enormously-popular natural skincare line we carry in all eight of our stores. We asked her to tell her secrets about getting the “glow” from the inside out.…
Read MoreStart with Chakra roll-ons and go from there!
Our HABA gals, Jennifer and Cindy, are getting ready to give our GA-Bradley Fair customers a lesson in essential oils at 9 a.m., Saturday, September 17. I plan on being there!

Read MoreDietary Supplements and Sports Nutrition—something to think about
We’ve been going over some statistics and it looks like those who use dietary supplements are more fit than those who don’t. Mainly it’s because 67% of supplement users exercise regularly. And that seems to translate to more and more customers buying into a category we in the grocery business call “Sports and Energy Nutrition.”…
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. After all, we all grew up on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches—although the peanut butter you find at GreenAcres is a whole lot healthier than what mother used to buy! Nut butters…
Read MoreYou don’t actually have to be crazy to drink this water…in fact, it might help!
What’s so crazy about Crazy Water, you ask? Well, nothing really. In fact, its alkaline content makes it one of the healthiest bottled waters you can drink. So how did it get its name? Story has it that once upon a time, an old lady, who appeared “a bubble off plum,” sat by a well…
Read MoreSave the bees!
We’ll be hearing from Steve Weber, founder of High Plains Honey (shown here with his wife holding bottles of honey), this coming Saturday at Breakfast with Matt (GA-Bradley Fair) about the state of our vanishing bee population and what’s being done to “bring them back home.” Beekeepers have thought for a long time that chemicals…
Read MoreJust 5 little drops every morning?!
Osteoporosis is becoming a huge problem in our aging population. You can see the effects on people who are bent over at the waste and trying to propel themselves forward on walkers. Have you ever noticed a car traveling toward you or behind you, but you can’t see the driver? Chances are the driver has…
Read MoreMe woman, you man…let’s Paleo together.
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. He eats meat, veggies, seeds and fruit, and eschews cane sugar in all its forms and bread, to my knowledge. Barb Mainz, one of our supplement market…
