The organic produce is a little less expensive than Whole Foods organic produce, but the selection and variety is less and the quality is far lower. Fresh Thyme produce is extremely buggy. We wash everything extremely thoroughly and immediately when we get home, but after a grocery store trip to fresh thyme we would end up with fruit flies and slugs for a few days after. A lot of times at fresh thyme they will leave produce rotting on the shelves and will keep more recent shipments in the back. That and the bugs is what ultimately made us go back to driving an hour to Whole Foods for our grocery shopping. We've never had a problem with Whole Foods produce being buggy. And the produce lasts about 3x longer than Fresh Thyme's. We were having to do bi-weekly Fresh Thyme shops and even then the produce wasn't lasting. Whereas with Whole Foods the produce lasts a full week. Also besides produce, pretty much everything else at Whole Foods is far less expensive. Fresh Thyme has no organic cheese, and very limited selection of meat that has no hormones and is antibiotic free, and then even less of that is actually organic or grass fed. A large majority has nitrates as well. We were really hopeful about fresh thyme, and we gave it a really long and fair shot, but it's been a huge disappointment. Back to Whole Foods for good!

I thoroughly enjoy shopping here when they have specials, but otherwise it's an expensive place to shop. If it were supporting local farmers I would understand but that isn't the case. (at least not to my understanding) The meat counter has some enticing choices: chicken chorizo and sausages made to order! Its fantastic! Be careful with the ingredients though, some contain soy and nitrites which I personally try to avoid. You can call ahead and ask them to make sausages with special ingredients, which is a great service! Always ask when they're prepared, they don't have a great shelf life. They carry a variety of products that accommodate people with allergies very well. Overall a great alternative to Whole foods with similar product and prices. Shop their deli and meat counter, their refrigerated products are great for those with a dairy/gluten allergy.

Pre seasoned / stuffed meat at the butcher is tasteless. And is just made to look good in the case. When cooked meat was blan and almost pointless to waste the ingredients they try to jazz stuff up with

Greate store. Staff is nice, though I wish they had options to bring your own packaging for the items at the bulk section.

I just bought Wild Cod and it smelled so rotten I almost yaked on my kitchen floor. What angers me the most is that I asked the man behind the counter if it was a fresh fish before purchase. He assured me it was and that he just marinaded the cod 3 hours ago. This isn't the first time I bought rotting meat at Fresh Time but 3rd or 4th. Please be careful in their meat isle, it can be deadly. As much of an advocate I am of them, never buy their meat!! I won't anymore because this is a recurring problem, they never address my issues. I'm quite disappointed the way the staff treated me when I returned the fish. Especially the meat man!! He didn't want to listen or make an effort listen to me.
