Earth Fare | Fort Mill

Description: A health-focused supermarket chain dedicated to providing natural and organic foods, including certified organic produce, responsibly sourced meats, and wellness items. Located in the Mills Crossing shopping center, this location features an Heirloom Juice Bar, a hot food buffet, a salad bar, and a scratch bakery.

Comments: The seating is at the front of the story in one long strip, with a bit more outside, also right in front. This is a grocery store, so not a place to go for peace and quiet, but it's a solid choice for a study group or something like that. Think of this the way you would the Whole Foods cafe section. It's similar, except that everything is a little bit worse.

They have coffee, hot tea, a hot food bar, and a pastry section, and it's all just a little bit worse than Whole Foods. Not by much, and not in like a dingy or run down sort of way. More like a using 2% milk instead of whole milk in a cake sort of way. It's still a cake, it'll still taste good, but it'll be just a little bit worse. Barely noticeable, but it's there.
