food as medicine.

The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease.

– Thomas Edison

food is powerful.

THE FORK IS YOUR MOST POWERFUL TOOL TO CHANGE YOUR HEALTH AND THE PLANET;  FOOD IS THE MOST POWERFUL MEDICINE TO HEAL CHRONIC ILLNESS.

– DR. MARK HYMAN

not gonna lie, i was a little bummed when border’s shut down at the outdoor mall near us.  {i know, i know…first world pain} but it was a favorite little hang out for my husband and i when we needed some time away from the kids.  needless to say, i was so excited when i saw the banner hanging on the building welcoming “earth fare” this fall.

don’t get me wrong, we live in fishers.  we are spoiled, we have both a whole foods & trader joes about 25 minutes away and farmer’s markets galore, but there are always those times when i decide on a whim that i want to make something, that i have none of the ingredients for and having more organic, nutritious options nearby is very exciting. earth fare will literally be less than 5 minutes from our house.  if i am adventurous, i could even ride my bike with the boys in the bike trailer there.

my first experience at an earth fare, was 3 year ago, when i was looking for gluten-free foods while on vacation in the carolina’s and we happened to visit the charlotte store. overall, i was very impressed by the selection, the local options and the prices.  as a store, their motto is “eat better. live longer.  spend less. start now.”  i love that they have a list of banned food products and that they work hard to keep prices affordable.  i am excited to have another healthy super market and the convenience of how close we are to it is an added bonus!

earth fare is set to open in noblesville at the hamilton town center on november 7th.  as part of welcoming earth fare to the area, the sprouted life is taking part of their “30 days, 30 dollars” contest.  we will be giving away a $30 gift card {for the noblesville earth fare only} every day for the next 30 days. yes, we are giving away $900 in gift cards!
