I love shopping at the large health food grocery stores they are so much fun to wonder around in and just look at all the interesting vitamins and groceries and orchard is no different ,but unfortunately looking is all the average person can do, because healthy and unprocessed is expensive and orchards seem to be even a little more expensive then their contemporaries. With that being said I am not sure orchards prices can be justified, but in all fairness I feel that most of the health food industry would be hard pressed to justify their gauging anyway. In a world where so many are either going hungry or being poisoned by genetically modified foods there entipeniral practices appears to be like black mail. I wreary of hearing this industry criticize the medical world and their prices, and in the next breath ask some single mothers who dared to pause at the price of there better then ever 8 oz bottle of the newest healing elixir what she would pay for her health and that of her families.
The prices that the health food and the organic vitimine industry charges are unobtainable for the average budget. SO I give them and all the health food industry a three star for being facinating and interesting but no higher because I feel the entire industry denies the ecconomically challenge fair access to good nutrition and health and in so doing they show a lacks of humanity and integrity. They judge the medical world for the outrageous prices on medicine and services and yet they charge price that are just as outrageous with out the relief of medical insurence so for the most part I will just stick to Wal-Mart At least Sam Waltons legacy is preferable to living under a bridge while slurping up a containers of 16 oz 7.00 yogurt. NO THANK YOU!

Great selection of products, but refuses to accept mobile pay, and not because they don't have the technology. Also used to give discounts and no longer does. Seems pretty backward.. I used to really like this store but recently it hasn't been as great. If you need organic and health foods it's practically the only place in Redding, however.

I've been shopping at Orchard Nutrition since I moved to Redding in 1995. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The number of products available exceeds that of any other store of this type in Redding.

This is my go-to health food store. Friendly service, the bulk section is the best in town, amazing organic/local produce and their sandwiches and deli are super great!! Free 5 gallons of filtered water/day with any purchase and a plethora of supplements. The best, hands down.

Love this store so much! I have celiac and I shop here whenever I want to get a snack or something. It's an awesome store if your lactose, vegan, vegetarian or celiac, or even just intolerant to stuff like soy or gelatin. Just about any kind of diet. :) it's pretty cool cause not a lot of towns have this kind of option

I've been shopping @ Orchard for years. The staff is really friendly. You can always buy odd
ball things that you can't find anywhere else. But my most favorite thing is the 5 gl of
Reverse osmosis water for $1!!!! Best deal in town.

This place has a lot of variety! They have soap/toothpaste/etc, essential oils, supplements, produce, shelf stable goods, refrigerated and frozen items, and a bakery. They have a bunch of stuff available in bulk, including a lot of herbs and spices, nuts, flours, and even honey! You can find things made by local producers, such as chapstick or candles. There are a lot of specialty foods for different diets or allergy restrictions, including non-dairy milks, flours, pasta, etc. The people are always nice, and I had one experience in particular where an employee helped me figure out which kind of post-surgery probiotic I needed. In general, this store is a lot more ethical and sustainable. The prices are a little high for me to come here often, but it s understandable- they have quality products, made more ethically, so they are going to have to cost more. Overall, I d highly recommend going in and checking it out! It s a cool little place, and you ll definitely find something interesting.

My retort to your recent response to my review regarding my first experience at your store is that I'll be testing the things you have said by bringing in less fortunate hungry people and watch the way they are treated by the staff at orchard nutrition. If I have an experience different from that of the experience I had at your store I will happily retract my review.

really disappointed in how they treated a man who was hungry. he came to me asking for a sandwich. nothing frivolous or outlandish, just a sandwich. didnt even ask for chips and a drink...He was genuinely hungry and thankful to just have something as simple as a sandwich. so I said absolutely I'd love to get you that sandwich. we walked into the store and I brought him to the sandwich area. I handed him the slip that gets filled out to place your order for whatever sandwich you want. This sweet man didnt even get to put his name on his order slip before 2 Male staff members showed up and told him that he had to leave. I asked "why are you kicking out a paying customer?" one of the Male employees put his hand up towards me with his palm out and said "it's not something I can discuss with you, he just needs to leave". I told this poor sweet man not to worry. to go outside and sit with my husband and I'll be right out with the sandwich he picked. after paying for this sandwich I walked to him and my husband and handed him his sandwich. he ate it as though he hadn't had food in days. we asked him if he was in need of anything else and he said "no, this sandwich was all I needed I was very hungry ".... this was my very first experience with this store. I am new to the area and honestly wasn't expecting to be so disappointed in the service. they seemed to of forgotten that low income people are people to. That sometimes people can be down on their luck. This man was sweet as could be. he was very mild mannered and did not appear to be on any drugs. he was just hungry, in need and reaching out to a fellow human. Orchard Nutrition Center you should be ashamed of how you treated that man. you never know, you could one day be in the place of the man who you treated like scum.

In regards to their recent retort on my experience I plan to begin bringing the less fortunate into their store and testing them on the things their saying. I will edit my experience and rating based upon what takes place in the future.

I called Orchard Nutrition to check if they have a specific type of herbal vitamin. The lady checked for me and told me they do not have anything that I was looking for, as I was saying thank you to her she cut me off and says "bye" in a very rude manner. I do not appreciate being hung up on over the phone especially when I was kind to this woman and I was trying to thank her. Very rude!

This store is one of my favorites. They have their own bakery and have really good quality organic food. It is expensive but this is the place to go for anything from supplements to a deli or just quality groceries.

The people that work making sandwiches and serving salads are crazy ruthless people. Who would trust that kind of behavior not me. Good thing you guys don t make the bread. I ll pass on you guys for sure.

ON THE GO? Pick up some of their organic prepared foods (sandwiches, soups, salads , complete meals, fresh blended juices, bakery items etc.). You can get fresh sliced organic meats and cheeses to go too.

GREAT PLACE TO GET FRESH LOCAL PRODUCE!

Their cucumbers right now are fresh and crisp. The winter squashes are great, especially the butternut squash which has a beautiful orange color inside. There are a good variety of sprouts available too. Their fruit is very fresh and I have found that it stays fresh longer when I buy it here!

I like the fact that the nuts in their bulk section are actually fresh, not brown on the inside like some other stores.

There's something here for everyone, even if you're on a diet!

Also, employees in the supplement section are very knowledgeable. GOT A QUESTION? JUST ASK. Other employees will actually go out of their way to help you find what you're looking for.

LOVE THE FRIENDLY SERVICE AT CHECKOUT!

My experience has been strange here. There are overly friendly staff in the front but then there are extremely grumpy staff working in the back. I still give 4 stars just because of their wonderful selective items. Store is well organized as well.

I liked this place because when I returned bulk rice after it gave me indigestion, they insisted that a store rule prohibited them from accepting a return (even if defective or unhealthy) So I explained that I was not there to get back a few dollars but just to let them know that the rice was green and unhealthy.Still they had a problem so finally I dumped it on the floor. Most exciting event happening in awhile.I love this place and they are usually very professional and friendly.

Best water in town. Great alternative selection. Deli and bakery is really good. Prices are not bad, not good, but not bad. We always go here for eggs when we can't get on someone's back-yard-chicken list.

If I could give negative stars I would given Orchard Nutrition the maximum negative stars. Orchard Nutrition's rudeness cost them a customer today. My husband and I will no longer be shopping at this establishment. We shop every Saturday morning here. This morning when I asked the salesperson in the vitamin department if they carried a certain vitamin brand I was searching for, she said "no, we don't carry that brand" and turned her back on me and walked away. She never asked me if she could help me find something or what kind of vitamin I was looking for, etc. I was shocked at how rude this "salesperson" was. I have been an assistant manager at one of the country's largest retail natural vitamin and supplement stores and this extremely poor customer service would never have been tolerated in the company I worked for, in fact, we would have been fired. I then asked to speak with a manager who happened to be at the checkout next to ours and she said "they'll have to come over to this line" to speak with her. So in addition to being treated rudely by the "salesman" I now have to go out of my way to come over to her lane to speak with her. These two employees made us feel like they were doing us a favor by working there instead of us doing them a favor by shopping there. We will now be buying our supplements online and going to Trader Joe's and other grocery stores in town for our other needs. I want a sincere apology for being treated so poorly instead of just given lip service. We are super excited that Sprout's will be opening soon and will put this establishment out of business.
