GreenAcres Market

Nice organic market in the Briarcliff shops in the northland. If I’m up in this area, I’ll sometimes stop in to grab something I need. It’s a little pricier than other big box grocery stores of course, but you are buying mostly organic and you are also supporting a local KC business.
All shops and businesses in the Briarcliff development are 100% locally owned which I find to be pretty awesome.
Recently, Green Acres catered a private event at Pinot’s Palette a few storefronts down, and the spread was fantastic! I would highly recommend their deli trays, pepper and pickle trays and hummus and pita offerings… yumm-​o!

They have frequent events to teach about various subjects. Tonight’s program was about essentials oils. It was fun and very informative. I just wish the leader would have had a hand out.

Great local grocery store with friendly and helpful staff. The have the best soup, great salads and hot lunch options every day. Many brands are competitive or cheaper than the health food sections of major chain stores like Hyvee. They have tons of healthy snack options as well and many gluten free and vegan options in the deli. This is easily my favorite market in KC.

I’ve since revisited Green Acres a couple times and while I still find there produce department lacking, it has improved. The deli is by far the shining star of Green Acres, with flavorful soups and salads it’s really the only reason I visit. However, I still find the staff very unhelpful and for the most part they all seem to try and pass the buck whenever a question appears.

I moved here from Austin where health nuts were overflowing and Organic food is easier to find than conventional. Green Acres is a great place to get fresh produce and health foods. I am so glad to have found them! I only docked one star because sometimes produce is picked over when I go but only sometimes. Some of the products are overpriced, but there are a lot of savings on other items compared to HyVee.

5 STARS! GREEN ACRES HAS THE BEST SELECTION OF ORGANIC HEALTHY GOODNESS! I frequent this place solo or with my family at times. They 150% bend over backwards to make sure that you receive the freshest product and will special order anything that they do not carry for you. I can’t even really say that it is too pricey because actually most of their products are not if you compare them to Hy Vees organic section or Sprouts they are definitely comparable if not better $$ since they have sales every week $$$v (get on their mailing list they send out flyers every month). Also, they have coupon books when you enter the store. Try picking one up next time and browsing through it before you cruise through the place. The savings are amazing! So are the fresh daily soups that they prepare, including the health drinks that you can get fresh made to order! The deli rocks as well! Wonderful selection of pastas, meats and desserts! They also have a Farmers Market outside every Thursday and free samplings I believe every Saturday afternoon. EVERYTHING your body needs is at this AMAZING HEALTH FOOD STORE! Including supplements and skin care products. The biggest plus is that everyone is super friendly and always helpful from the minute you enter the store, which is nothing like the new Sprouts store they put in on 64^th Street. You have NO competition Green Acres — you rock my world!

Sometimes, I have a good experience here. But most of the time, it’s horrible. They have disgruntled employees, terribly overpriced food, and inaccurate information if you call to ask holiday hours, etc. we have complained to the website, and have never received word back. It just seems that there is a serious lack of leadership/​management, and a knack for greed. They picked the perfect location to make people pay, although, Sprouts just moved close, so I know they have some competition.

I go here infrequently but when I do I get some delish soups and desserts. I also do some shopping here. I am guessing that tonight they have some new employees. The blood oranges were extremely squishy, and the turmeric was moldy. The cashiers were playing in the aisles and the only one truly working was the kid collecting the trash. When I got in line the cashier, Arlin, was having trouble ringing up produce. She didn’t know what certain vegetables were and the PLUs. When it was my turn there was no greeting or acknowledgement of my presence. When I pointed out the turmeric in the produce area was moldy, she gives me a hateful look then says we try our best. When I said I just thought someone should know, she goes on to say she saw that the turmeric was moldy but it is self healing, and someone could get use out of it. I thought to myself for the prices they charge I should be able to get quality products. Then when she rings my green cabbage as napa cabbage, I pointed the mistake out. She doesn’t believe that I know what cabbage I have and turned to the guy taking the trash out. It just pretty much ticked me off and it will be a long time before I buy anything substantial here again.

I like this store. It has a good combination of organic and conventionally grown products. The deli selections and soups are pretty good. Things do tend to be more expensive than the other natural foods store I shop at, and I don’t come here as often because of that. There are things I stock up on when they are on sale, like yogurt and freezer meals. Sometimes their produce is really good, and other times I find myself going elsewhere for those items because what’s on the shelf is past its prime. The staff tend to be friendly and helpful.

Yes, some of the items are a little pricey, but this place is still awesome — locally owned and operated (hey, Wichita is local-​ish, shut up), incredible parking, friendly staff, and a terrific selection of healthy items make this my go-​to when I can’t face a visit to the crammed Price Chopper nearby. At $ 9 a pop, the chicken pot pie is worth every penny, so grab some on a rainy or cold night and take them home to your family, you will be a total hero!

Day 42 of juice feasting, I am KC on business. Julie makes me 8 juices, Jasmine packs them (and my bottled juice) in ice for the road. Thank you Green Acres team!

A very good organic food market in the Northland, and really the only one I know of up here. The only things I caution against are that this market is pricier than say, if you went to Hyvee’s health section or Price Chopper’s organic section. I understand that, being a smaller business, they probably can’t totally compete with the larger grocers, but unfortunately it means I just can’t visit as often as I’d like to. I generally am more apt to visit their Thursday farmer’s markets, as I can find some local farmers to buy produce from. I’ve liked their deli as well and they have a decent selection for a smaller store for the rest of their items.

This market is a rare gem in the northland! With no Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s up north we healthy eaters are left with very few options. Green Acres has a variety of foods for all types of eaters with varying health needs. They have a rewards program and the staff is always helpful. Their skin care section is also expanded and is wonderful with it’s all natural care options. I took off one star because I feel that many of the items are overpriced beyond reason, although not nearly as bad as whole foods.

(singing) Green Acres is the place to be! organic foods is best to me! Ok, I couldn’t resist.
Green Acres is the place to be for organic shopping in Kc north. It’s our whole foods with way more friendlier & knowledgeable staff.
They recieved 4 stars because I can purchase meat here due to pricing is so high. But other then that I love this place.
The «deli» area is awesome. I have liked everything that I have gotten from there. from chicken pot pie to breakfast burritos to soup! Oh, the various soups! You can leave until you try the soups of the day.
I regret that they do not make pizza any more. It was so scrumptious. Any who, great place to get your organic stuff. Farmers market & happy hour on Thursday evenings.

They pack a lot of great things in a medium space. Green Acres isn’t a small store but by today’s grocery store standards, it’s a small grocery store. That doesn’t keep them from offering a great selection of fruits and vegetables, refrigerated, frozen, dry, and canned groceries of all the kinds you’d expect from a big box grocery.
They have:
— A kitchen where they prepare foods you can buy for dinners at home or meals on the go
— A salad and soup bar and prepared sandwiches
— A small but adequate selection of wines
— Bulk foods and spices to buy by the pound
— An impressive two isles of vitamins and supplements
— A small but helpful selection of health conscious books and magazines
— Occasional classes and groups
— A small area to «eat in»
— Always friendly and helpful staff
When I sat down to write this review, I wanted to be objective. When deciding on 4 or 5 stars, I tried to think of something I’d change — there just isn’t anything.

Green Acres was my go-​to joint for health food and organic products when I lived in Kansas City North. Equal pricing and quality to similar stores like Whole Foods and Fresh Market with more of a neighborhood flair tucked into the quaint Briarcliff shops area.
There are always lots of great options to choose from here including fruits and veggies, beer and wine (items that can’t be sold at the other health food stores on the KS side), deli items, and more. I was always super impressed with the availability and friendliness of staff members who are willing to go the extra mile to help you find items or answer questions about varying products.
They also offer a rewards card for purchases, a huge plus over other similar stores. Spend enough money and receive a discount on future purchases.
If I still lived in the area I would definitely shop here more. It’s a great option for picking up hard to find vegetarian and organic options as well as other more readily found items at supermarkets. You’ll pay a little more for quality and service, but it is well worth it.

So I come here almost every day. It’s convenient. It’s whole foods/​organic. Its decently priced (for the quality, you do get what you pay for here). The workers are fantastic! They have great attitudes, smiles on their faces, and always eager to help.
Did you know Green Acres has a deli, salad bar, and fresh food service??? OMG! I am obsessed with their salad bar. The variety of high-​quality, freshly chopped, crisp ingredients are top notch.
I am also obsessed with their gluten-​free chicken pot pies. Yes! gluten free! They carry many GF items. In fact, I prefer Green Acres for dinner than going to an actual restaurant. That’s how much I appreciate it.

I absolutely love to to to this store for special occasion stuff. Guests in town, dinner parties, etc. I don’t go too often so I was happy to find out they have a rewards card that gives you points for every purchase.
Currently they have some deals on my favorite cleaning products and even compared to Amazon they are reasonable. Everyone there is friendly and helpful. It also is one of those stores I wouldn’t dare forget a reusable bag to check out with, lol.
As everyone has said, it is on the expensive side but they do have unique cheeses, meats and snacks.

GreenAcres Market Kansas City is no where near my house. Yet I have found more than one reason to return, AND on more than one occasion. AND I have every intention of going back again. This normally would not happen with a grocery store than is terribly inconvenient to where I live. But GreenAcres has impressed me.
My first unplanned visit occurred when I was already up north, for a wellness event in a nearby hotel, and decided I would stop in to check the place out (especially their gluten free section). My quick trip turned into a surprising adventure, complete with me coming back AFTER the wellness event. I was in awe of my findings, and absolutely floored with the customer service.
My shopping experience was stellar (& I loathe grocery shopping). For me to go to a grocery twice in one day is pretty strange. But as I was checking out, I was informed (both verbally AND by helpful signage) of an upcoming event in the store with a speaker. This speaker happened to be someone I had been listening to on a podcast, and was shocked to see she was in Kansas City, & speaking at the very grocery store I was at… THAT VERY NIGHT. So as I mentioned, I went back after my event. My findings on gluten free surpassed my hopes. They not only had an entire marked section. But the bakery had gluten free items, too. I think it may be a good thing that GreenAcres is no where near my house because the gigantic tennis ball sized macaroons are addictive.
GreenAcres has all of the fresh, natural, and organic products anyone would need. The vibe of the store is welcoming, and the employees are amazingly helpful.
I am so happy for my friends who live north of the river, to have access to something like GreenAcres. It isn’t huge, and the prices are not necessarily competitive with the regular grocery stores. But for me, that is no longer any part of my shopping criteria. I want to know what I’m putting into my body, and feel like the people providing that actually care about the products they are selling. I get the feeling the folks at GreenAcres do.
Last week I went back out of my way again to experience another store event — the GreenAcres Anniversary party. It was complete with samples all over the store, & smiling GreenAcres staff offering above and beyond customer service. I also noticed that they were doing a Shop Local Saturday promotion for 20% off as well.
If you are up north, and wanting to shop local, fresh, and organic, this is the place to go.

***This organic grocery store is located in Briarcliff Village and it is like a small, local Whole Foods (the high-​end chocolates near the checkout lanes are very Whole Foods-​esque); this grocery store definitely does not feature the same selection you will find at a Whole Foods – especially when it comes to fresh meat and fish, which both seem very nonexistent here (their collection of heirloom squashes and pumpkins was quite impressive though); in the dry foods section, GreenAcres Market features a selection of Rick Bayless products such as guacamole seasoning***
Briarcliff Village has its own free parking lot. The parking lot is big and it is easy finding an open space.
