Small grocery store specializing in organic foods. The prices are extremely high, and the selection is limited, but if you like organic food this is the place to go. The store is community-owned, the staff are knowledgeable, and if you don't mind paying a little extra, this is a unique grocery store.

Was passing thru when I found this place. Was very happy and it reminded me of my local coop. If you want a snack, meal or bottle of wine, then this is the place for you. You will find this a familiar place if you have spent any time in any health food store. Ample parking as well.

Closest place to Fort Dodge to get healthy food. Think Whole Foods but more local food from the surrounding farmers. It also seemed less expensive than Whole Foods.

I was very happy to find this place. Fort Dodge has nothing like this to compare to.

They have all sorts of organic meats and produce and a good selection of cheeses. The hot food selection could be better. Again, I'm comparing to a bench mark. All in all it has much of the items that a selective eater would want.

I will definitely be back shortly.

Wheatsfield is a welcoming and unique shopping experience. They have so many organic, vegan, fair trade, and just plain interesting items here. If you're looking for anything that's a little trendy and you haven't been able to find it in another grocery store, it's very likely that wheatsfield has at least some of it in stock. My favorite item is their agave gummy bears. Put them in the fridge!

This is a fun Hometown natural grocer! They have lots of organic produce and some interesting vegetables you can't find anywhere else. A nice bulk food section with the make your own Nut Butter machines. Lots of different probiotic drinks and a nice view counter too. Fun to poke around! They also have a co-op membership.

Wheatsfield is a really good co-op (grocery store) with a ton of local, organic, and sustainable foods, household supplies, and health products. There are great vegetable, bulk grain, and alcohol selections. The meat department is tiny. Prices are as expected. The store was very recently expanded and remodeled. There's a coffee shop/ restaurant now!

Great variety! Organic produce is priced a bit high, but we all tend to expect that. Bulk items are very competitive! And the kombucha from Waukee may make the trip worth it alone! I will definitely be back!

I like the Wheatsfield coop, but I can't really pin down the reason why. The prices are a bit higher than the Iowa City coop, but they're reasonable for Ames. Their selection of produce is good. Their selection of canned and bagged foods are small, and their selection of frozen foods is tiny, and their alcohol section is a little overpowering but I like them. It's just something about the atmosphere and the behavior of the staff. They're friendly. So I like it.

This is my natural store of choice in the Ames Area! Absolutely the BEST store for people with food allergies, food intolerance issues, people who want to eat Clean, Vegan, Paleo, Organic, etc. And their lunch buffet and deli are AMAZING!! Wheatsfield will help you live your best life!!

This is a grocery store specializing in organically grown produce, which makes it a little more expensive than a typical grocery store. They also carry many health-oriented and "green" items. Finally, they host numerous healthy-eating cooking classes, which are listed on their website.

I didn't realize until I moved away how lucky I was to have Wheatsfield. As a college student, it was great to know that I could get my membership payment back when I left town. Obviously, I paid more for groceries than my friends who went to Walmart, but it meant making an investment for my health and for my community, and often it just meant hunting down sale prices and limiting extras. Wheatsfield has a great selection of items, the staff is always wonderful, and I love getting to try the random samples lying around the store

A nice selection of high-quality, environmentally-conscious foods and other merchandise. Not inexpensive, but a membership in the co-op gives you a decent discount. Helps support local growers and producers. Staff is great!

I was searching for extra dark (>85%) chocolate as a gift. This place had it, and a wide selection at that. Apart from chocolate they have a fantastic selection of grains and cooking ingredients. The atmosphere is sort of worldly fair-trade. Would definitely recommend checking it out.

Great local co-op! The employees are always nice and helpful. They have a great selection of local cheese as well.

Once we got fresh fruits and veggies from them, we've never been able to go back to the regular grocery store. The grocery store fruits and veggies are bland tasting in comparison.
