Earth Fare Jumps Into Jacksonville Market

The latest entry in Jacksonville’s grocery market opens Wednesday. Earth Fare’s first store in Northeast Florida opens in the Atlantic North center at the corner of Atlantic and Kernan boulevards.

Earth Fare describes itself as a natural foods market and still has a semblance of the store it was when it opened in Asheville, N.C., in 1975 as Dinner for the Earth.

Dozens of nuts, herbs, candies, cereals and grains are available in bulk. You can bring in your own containers – jars for example – weigh them up front and have that weight deducted when you check out.
