Green Street Natural Food Visits the Healthy Melrose Fair
Come see Green Street Natural Food this Saturday, May 4, from 10 AM - 2 PM at the Healthy Melrose Fair! Free samples and fun activities! What better way to spend a sunny, Saturday morning?
Located at 164 Green Street in Melrose behind an unassuming, white duplex is a mecca of organic produce, unique spices, and the friendliest people in town. Green Street Natural Food has been serving the community of Melrose and its surrounding towns for nearly 40 years. In 1975, they transformed a humble cooperative into a neighborhood health food store. Two generations later, they are still sharing their passion for organic, natural foods that taste great and support a healthy, active lifestyle in ways that work for you and your family.
The Cantin family, Winnie, Jerry, and son, Jason, have managed to immortalize a special quality of business that is lost in today’s corporate world. Where else can you walk into a grocery store and pick the manager’s brain on what foods you should eat for a healthy lifestyle? What other grocery stores print you out recipes and help you hand pick the ingredients right there? If you have questions on products, supplements, diet, or general, overall health, the staff at Green Street is willing and able to enlighten your inquiring mind.
If it’s the smaller size of the store that turns you away from doing your week’s shopping at Green Street, look more closely. They carry a little bit of everything, carefully selected to provide customers with the highest quality products. Produce is fresh, organic, and local when available. Grab a container and grind your peanut butter fresh! Bring in your empty spice jars and refill. All of Green Street’s dried herbs and spices are bulk, which makes for outrageously low prices. Looking to fight allergies? Come get yourself some local honey! This is a unique and fulfilling shopping experience to look forward to week by week.
