Good Earth Food Co-Op

Stopped in today to grab some lunch. A juice, wrap and mushroom soup. Juice was good, hopefully it was freshly juiced, but everything was pretty well settled at the bottom. I didn't eat the wrap but it looked good. Like thanksgiving leftovers, minus the stuffi the soup was so salty, I couldn't even finish it. And it had chunks of fat or something in it. I thought it was a vegan/vegetable soup? I don't know what this congealed substance was, but I tossed it in the trash.

Great store. Love it. A lot of produce is plastic free.Has bread to buy but it's expensive. Has essential oils. Has beeswax and bulk honey. Grind your own peanuts.Bulk spices and everything nice.

For the size this coop packs a punch! The location has much to be desired but the bottom line is there is a coop here. Membership was a little pricey for me so I just pay the non member price. Fresh veggies looked awesome. The bulk selection was really nice. The spices really impressed me... smoked alder salt - wow! And the totally legit Nag Champa incense - my FAV!! Pricey at $7 but it really is legit and well worth the cost. I only came in to check out this coop and I left with the incense, fresh tortillas & all natural candy canes for the holidays. Set up was clear, store clean, friendly staff, check out was a breeze! My littles LOVED the kid sized shopping carts . It always makes them feel so much more involved and less boring. I loved my visit. I'll be back to check out the food for lunch one day. I'll post an update.

Offers a great selection of fresh and organic produce, grass-fed meats, fresh soups and sandwiches, grains and everything else that you'd expect to find in a natural foods/coop kind of store. Fresh make-your-own salads are available. There is a small dining area for eating. The prices while slightly higher aren't out of sight.I had a reduced price uncured ham sandwich with swiss cheese, lettuce, mayo, and red onion on naan bread. It was delicious. I also had a Burnsville-made chocolate chip cookie that was excellent, and a beet, carrot, celery, apple juice that was surprisingly sweet and refreshing.

Fantastic store. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food is great- this is one of the very few places I eat out at, because they use organic ingredients for nearly everything. You can find the menu on their website. Their sandwiches, both hot and packaged, make a great lunch.The variety of products available is great for a store of their size, including a lot of vegan and organic goods.Membership costs $100 for life, which gets you a 10% discount once a month.Additionally, they sometimes host events, like classes or movie nights.

I'm new in town, and am looking for healthier alternatives. This store is clean and friendly. They have a good selection of heathfoods and produce. However, like most health food markets, they are extremely expensive.

Cute co-op, good selection, clean bathrooms. Jared and I were driving back to Minneapolis from a weekend winter camping trip. We were hungry and drove into St Cloud, but weren't too keen on eating Taco Bell or Pizza Ranch (ok, maybe I sort of wanted pizza, but I knew it wasn't going to be good for me). Jared remembered Good Earth and got us there.Initially, I wasn't impressed; it was located within a strip mall, it had a hokey wood sign, I wanted pizza. In the back of the co-op, they had three selections of soup - Scarborough Fair, Thai Curry, and Mole chili. All ingredients used were listed, which was nice. You could also buy a container of rice or quinoa to go with it, although they were currently out of quinoa. I picked the Scarborough Fair (the ingredients listed included "sage, rosemary, and thyme") and Jared had the curry soup. We also each got a small cup of rice. We had to walk back to the front to pay, then headed back to eat.Soups were pretty good with large chunks of veggies. The Scarborough Fair was mainly potato, it could have used more carrot. Extra salt was needed, but I enjoyed a healthy and hearty lunch. With a beverage from the cooler, it came to about five bucks.We also had a chance to browse through the store selection of goodies. Even though it's small, there is a good selection of items for grocery shopping. The produce section was tiny but wide too. Lots of pretty root veggies and fruits. If you're on a road trip and in St Cloud, stop by Good Earth for a snack or meal! It's not too far off the main drag and I guarantee you'll feel better than eating at Taco Bell.

As far as co-ops go, I love this store.They have a really great selection of fruits, veggies, and produce. Lots of self-serve bins of nuts/grains/flour and all sorts of other stuff. Also they have a lot of holistic medicines there and lots of vitamins to supplement your diet. Their fresh soups/bakery is the best part though, it's always just fantastic and makes for a perfect lunch.It's going to be a little more expensive than your average grocery store, but it's supposed to be. It's organic (mostly), and a co-op. It's well worth the extra money.

A great place to shop local in St Cloud. The selection isn't bad and the prices are good. The bulk soap is great. So many fragrances to choose from. My favorite is the grapefruit. I do wish they were part of the circle of Minneapolis co-ops.

A solid vegan food option for our long drives through Minnesota. We stop here on the way for the vegan deli salads, kombucha, and super friendly service. The produce looks fantastic, and they have a large section of personal care items and toiletries as well. There are a few sandwiches and things they make to order, but most of it is grab-and-go--perfect if you're on the road.
