Valley Natural Foods Review

Good sized market with an excellent selection of local / organic produce and goods. The hot bar and deli are good for quick meals too.

Been a member since 1992! Good place to buy in bulk, and the staff is helpful.

I wished I loved closer, great organic produce and decent prices. Juice/smoothly bar inside while you shop. Organized and helpful staff.

I've always liked this store and now it's getting a big refresh. Wish I lived closer.

Helpful staff, wide selection, delicious deli and many samples! They have a self-serve spice counter!

Fabulous produce, bulk foods, eggs and spices. An incredible deli, homemade soups, salad bar, juice and coffee bar.

Great food and selection, it's a little pricey though

A nice local coop with healthy choices lunch options a smoothie bar and super friendly team members. Proud to be a member

Very nice and orderly place to shop at, great food. Amazing drive through offering coffee, and healthy but delicious smoothies and juices.

Local, organic, with a very friendly staff. VNF has products that you can't find in other stores.

An organic co-op...fresh produce! friendly helpful staff, a variety of healthy tasty foods. I do 95% of our grocery shopping here. A member.

Love this place! Newly remodeled with a lot of organic, gluten free and paleo options! Very friendly staff!

I love this store, has a great selection of bulk items. Expensive but the gluten free selection is great.

Complete bulk and produce sections for shopping zero waste/package free and for generally trying to consume less plastic. There is also plenty of space available in the community gardens and we really appreciated the bulk potting soil while the garden center was open in spring!

Offers great varieties of organic foods, all kinds of spices, fruits and vegetables.

I don't shop here regularly but when I do go, I always find what I want or need and love the atmosphere as well. The only reason I knocked one star off is due to the chilly, detached attitudes of most of the staff. It seems they only have the time of day for people who KNOW health foods and already live the lifestyle. I make sure to do my research before going so I can avoid asking for help.

New remodeling is gorgeous. Employees always nice, huge selection, convenient.

Food made from scratch, ingredients you can trust, friendly people who are happy to see you. Warm, friendly, inviting and owned by its community with everyone being welcome to shop. All retailers should strive for their levels of knowledge and service.

Great place to buy gluten free items, including local brands such as Bittersweet Bakery. Friendly and helpful employees that actually know what they're talking about when you have a question. Not a huge place with thousands upon thousands of options, but what the store lacks in size is easily made up by quality.

Great selections from which to choose in the grocery and deli. Awesome hot lunch buffet & salad bar. There is also cozy seating in a beautiful atrium with a huge ficus tree. My kids think it is a huge treat to stay and eat hot lunch in the atrium! Love it!

Great selection of organic foods or dairy-free/gluten-free alternatives. We love their selection of dairy free ice cream (especially the cashew milk ice cream). There also seems to be a good variety in their cold-serve/deli section and the salad I tried there (the sweet potato/onion salad) was delicious.

So damn expensive for sub par selection, choice and .... again - for WHAT. They constantly try to talk you into a 100-150$ membership?! Lol

It's always a good experience shopping at V.N.F. Great groceries great people.

Fantastic place for vegans ,vegetarians,and folks who like quality natural foods

Great store to get locally grown and organic foods.. Vegan cupcakes everyday !!!!

Very nice store
Good quality of food

Place smells good. Good barbecue Chicken. Lots of spices and fresh produce.

Heathy and delicious prepared foods, fresh groceries and pantry. They keep inventory fresh.

I go there to get organic butter, vegetables,cheese, fish, etc

Great natural foods Wonderful meats this place needs 10 STARS!

Great place! They have basically everything! And it's all natural... get hard to find spices and buy in bulk! Their honey is delicious!

Great place to shop once in a while , you don't need a membership but if you do ,you going to.save if you shop often since they have discounts for members .
The juice bar is nice addition

Everything is natural food awesome but it smells like salt

Really awesome place to get the best organic food. They have best honey, tea and good selection of meat.

February 4 th 2018.
Parking lot. Beauty of Winter in Minnesota and we don't mind the white blanket covering the ground.

Clean, lots of different/healthy items and a nice layout. Really enjoyed my first visit here and will be back soon! The ladies at the cashier area were very helpful and really made the experience even better! Great customer service! (Late-evening 7pm-ish Thursday 10/10)

CLEAN!! DELICIOUS FOOD. AND SMOOTHIES!! YES!!! CANT GO WRONG WITH THAT

Great place for natural food organic store, but little spendy.

Good:

Plenty of selection. This is where I get my bread for my famous French toast.

Bad:

$ tag, unless you are a member can get steep.

They have all of the organic foods, and a great sandwich bar.

A must have in every city. Love the organic and local choices.

Always a good selection of natural and organic items. I buy pretty much all of my herbs and spices in bulk here. If I can't find certain items there, the staff will try to order them for me.

Great staff and selection. The prices are a little higher than other stores in the South Metro, but the sale prices here can be quite good if you look for the deals.

Awesome selection of quality/heathy foods and products. Very friendly staff and helpful staff.

Plenty of staff ready to help you find the departments that have relocated during the expansion. Thanks VNF!!

Good people. Great food. Local business. Enough said

Always a pleasure to shop here. The workers a very knowledgeable. Love the Amish chicken

While shopping in the bulk aisle, I lifted the handle that activates the millet to come out of the bin. My plastic bag slipped from the shoot and several pounds of millet fell to floor. I caused a HUGE mess but Cindy sweetly cleaned up my mess and politely engaged me in conversation. She is a very kind Soul!

Everything is good except their schedule. Prices suck, but you're not going to do much better in MN for their selection. WHY would you close at 8 on Fri, and Sat if your turning away multiple customers every evening? There's always people trying to make it, and they turn you away. Maybe in the winter that makes sense, but during spring/summer they could be making more, and have happier customers.

Well-stocked, good variety, helpful staff. Membership is a great value.

The best place to enjoy shopping at for your health. Chip is very helpful in the Wellnesss dept. !!! Ask. Chip questions. Get Well soon!?,

Just did a renow...so much more clean & organized!!

Great coop. Been a member for a couple years. Nice selection.

A varied selection of local produce. You won't necessarily find all your familiar brands, but you will find a lot of fresh produce and most grocery items.

I come to this grocery store every time I visit my sister who lives in Burnsville. Employees are very nice and helpful. Decent prices & nice selection.

I love this place. Organic and local produce. They have the best cupcakes to boot.

Always has what I need, especially gluten free and dairy free items, in stock and at good prices.

Clean, friendly store with tons of organics and good variety for its size.

I have been a co-op member for about 5 years but have shopped at Valley Natural for over 25 years. The new location is much large, but further away from my house and they feature more items than the previous location. They have a fantastic deli and lots of meats you won't find anywhere else.

Undergoing remodeling, but staff is super helpful still!!

Nice store, has a good selection of items and is easy to get to. They have new specials every two weeks.

wonderful deli with many tasty dishes. Have terrific meat-especially love the ham without nitrates-such good flavor. Fresh veges and fruits-yes, does cost a bit more than the local chain discount stores-but-what price is your health worth? I have fibromyalgia, etc and do much better eating foods without all those awful chemicals. Plus-very fresh and can buy local. Have been helped a lot by "Chip" in the vitamin section-very knowledgeable! I would like different kinds of prepared soups. Also, I always check the dates of the prepared foods as some are there much longer than I like-definately not fresh! Otherwise, a great place to visit/shop. And the help IS helpful.

Great service
Good food

Lots of organic, gluten free and vegan options available. So, a little more expensive, but not too bad if those are the types of food you're looking for.

All things healthy in one place, right when you want it! Great service.
