DOWN TO EARTH
Local Health Foods Store
Down to Earth was started by a group of friends in Maui in 1977 who wanted to provide health-focused options for Hawaii's residents and so they started a grocery store which featured the slogan, "healthy foods at prices that won't make you sick!"
Fast forward to today, Down to Earth has expanded to six locations across Hawaii, including their newest 13,000 square foot store in Honolulu's Kaka’ako district. As I strolled through the aisles, I couldn't help but appreciate how Hawaii-based Down to Earth is a local alternative to Whole Foods.
Down to Earth is a one-stop-shop for health-conscious shoppers with a broad selection of local and organic produce, vitamins and supplements, and eco-friendly products. They also provide options for grain-free, plant-based, and other specialty diets.
For those who are fans of fresh ground nut butters or prefer the convenience of a fill-your-own-bag bulk section, Down to Earth has you covered with an assortment of beans, grains, and snacks. But that's not all! This versatile store also functions as an excellent destination for a quick bite or a refreshing beverage.
Next time you're in the area, make sure to explore their menu for prepared food and made-to-order options, which includes mouthwatering smoothies, juices, and açaí bowls.
If you're in the mood for something more substantial, Down to Earth also offers a hot bar and deli with daily specials. Many of these options cater to vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free diets, further demonstrating the store's commitment to catering to diverse dietary needs.
So, whether you're looking to stock up on groceries, grab a quick and nutritious meal, or deepen your understanding of health and wellness, Down to Earth has something for everyone.
Don't forget to check their website for weekly ads, in-store specials, and event schedules to make the most of your shopping experience. With its emphasis on local, organic, and eco-friendly products, Down to Earth is a great destination for grocery shopping in Hawaii.
