The owner Chastity is the woman equivalent of a man child. She is ill tempered and will throw an outburst if you ask for help at her own store. Just so you know… the overpriced “fresh salad” you pay so much for? They use the items that are rotting and cut off the rotted bits to make it. I know because I was told by someone who works there. They also pick the rotted fruit out of the fruit containers rather than throwing it out… so you basically will have mold fibers on your food. Be VERY careful about buying anything from here. You’d be better off eating at McDonald’s if you want to compromise your health and morals.

The best little food store in the area. Super friendly employees and a great selection of food you cant find anywhere else. Great baked goods too.

One of very few places im willing to shop at anymore. If you want to change your lifestyle and begin healthy eating and living, this is the starting line! Most of their foods include gluten free, vegan/vegetarian, and organic selections. The staff is very friendly and helpful and provide a home away from home environment

If you are gluten free you MUST visit this place. It is a one if a kind store in our area. They also have all kinds of fresh salads and sandwiches if you wanna pop in for a quick lunch or bite to eat.

I love that I can buy items that support local artists,and hand made items from other countries that the proceeds from go directly to those who made the item.

This small grocery is wonderful and delish! They used to have a nice food counter but with covid, they discontinued! Hopefully they will come back someday! They still have no any ready to eat foods in the front! Nice store and friendly staff!

Love this store, best food around for my family health needs. Very happy they brought in the Luxe Beauty skincare line all in glass, so now I can buy it locally. Amazing stuff.

Pretty much anything you want organic, they have it. Love going in and getting some new wacky drink Ive never heard of every time.

Covid-19 waiting to happen. Dirty inside. Hardly anyone wearing masks, including someone restocking shelves. Nobody asked to social distance so youre stuck in line between people without masks and no enforcement of their own distancing markers. This place has really gone downhill. I formerly frequented it for specialty items. Overpriced, wilting food and horrible service and customer care. Ill never go back. Truly the single worst shopping experience Ive had since the pandemic began.

Way too expensive. I know that the prices of products that they sell cost more to manufacture but not as much more as they are charging.Its nice to have a Food Market that caters to people who care about the specialty products they want but if there are not enough people in our area that buy these products ,I dont think that raising their prices exorbitantly is the answer to staying in business.

Great little market emphasizing organic & local items. Has a tiny cafe inside. Love that they put signs on the shelves for items which are locally grown or made. Includes small selection of re-useable glassware, vitamins & supplements, & health & beauty aids. Ready to go salads, cookies & snacks.

I was visiting my hometown for Christmas, and being vegan, its usually a challenge. This time it was easy! I ate at the cafe twice and both times it was superb! They made sure to explain what was on the sandwiches and that I was ok with it. I took my sister who is super picky and she loved it too- even the vegan potato salad! We ended up buying lots of organic things for her to try and so far she has loved them all. I love that they support local farms, artists, and the community. This place is THE BEST!

So happy Cortland has a health food store (and that its locally owned)! Great selection, wonderfully helpful and friendly staff. I especially love the kombucha filling station. I come in each week to fill up my growler and love that Im cutting down on bottle waste. Thank you Local Food Market, keep it up!
