When I learned that a new food market, Sprouts, was scheduled to open in my neighborhood I was a bit skeptical. We had a handful within a few miles, so I wondered what Sprouts offered that would set them apart from the others.
Last week I was invited to a pre-Grand Opening media tour to get the inside skinny on this open-air indoor farmers market.
What Sets Sprout Apart
Produce, Produce, Produce
The first thing you see when entering Sprouts is the produce section. That’s 100% on purpose. Why you may ask? They pride themselves on this sea of colorful fruit and vegetables – both conventional and organic. All affordable.
Perusing the produce aisles sparked some great meal ideas incorporating gorgeous purple cauliflower. I picked up some organic green onion for the night’s dinner, huge artichokes to grill, and my little one’s favorite Gala apples.
Did I mention that the Brussel sprouts were HUGE and the asparagus was priced nicely?!
90% Natural and Organic
Their main focus is to provide natural and organic foods at affordable prices. I loved that there were quite a few local brands being showcased at our store – a granola company from Wellington, salsa and delicious gluten-free tortilla chips from Stuart – just to name a few!
Knowledge is Key
If you have any questions, their staff is uber knowledgable and helpful. Sprouts invests in their staffs’ training and you can tell.
When I asked for some gluten-free snack options, the staff was more than eager to walk me over to a great selection. I picked up a few!
Market Corner Deli
You read that right! Handmade sandwiches crafted how you like for only $3.99. Along with the sandwiches is a variety of grab-and-go items for a quick bite. Rotisserie chicken, salads – you name it!
The Butcher Shop & Fish Market
Pick up freshly rolled tuna (the crunchy tuna roll was DELISH and super fresh) or opt for some of their amazing freshly-ground sausage options. The butcher will hand-cut any piece of meat and offer suggestions based on your requests.
Health and Beauty
I was extremely impressed with the variety of health and beauty products offered. You will find any vitamin, herb, and/or supplement under the sun on their shelves. They were the first company that offers a refrigerated probiotics section!
Two cosmetics companies that I covet are offered there as well – Pacifica and Gabriel (the latter not just because that is my youngest son’s name).
Sprouts Wellington is open every day from 7 a.m. until 10 p.m.
Be sure to download the Sprouts app (iTunes and Google Play) for exclusive discounts and digital coupons.

Danielle Wolter says
i love shopping at sprouts. i find they have the best prices on produce, and i also love all the bins!
Dana says
Yes, the bins are GREAT! You can save a lot of money when you buy in bulk!
Alexa says
When is Sprouts coming to WV? Because we need one. We don’t have a lot of good options for fresh produce around here unless you’re growing it in your own garden. As a vegetarian I would go nuts in the produce section of this store.
Dana says
Alexa, you should totally contact them!!!!
Maartje van Sandwijk says
I’ve heard so much about Sprouts. Wish we had this shop in the UK!
Blair says
You can see the pride a store has in the care it gives in their displays. When they care that much about their displays it is obviously because they care what there customers think and they want to provide for them.
Dana says
I agree 100%, Blair!
Joanna says
I do love to shop at an organic store but unfortunately there is none near me. Sometimes I go to the farmers market on Saturdays but that one is a bit far away, in the next town. It’s great that you have such a great store so close to you.
Sudipa says
I always prefer organic products. this placevis perfect for my organic shopping.Looks neat too.
Hailey says
I’ve seen these before but never stopped in! I shop at Whole Foods, but it’s not the same since Amazon took over. 🙁 I love artichokes but I never thought to grill them, I can’t wait to try that this summer!
Dana says
I agree with you about the change in Whole Foods since Amazon took over. The grilled artichokes is our favorite!!!!
That Dog Momma says
I love a fresh market. The colors are so vibrant and the smells are so strong and most of them are good loL!
Dana says
Yes! Just walking into Sprouts makes me hungry!
brie says
I went into a sprouts not too long ago and was amazed by all of the stuff they had. Some great alternatives to things we already love….and sushi!
Terri Beavers says
I’m a veggie lover and I have to say I’m impressed with all of their fresh veggies in your photos. I am going to have to make a trip to Sprouts and see what else I can find there.
Dana says
The produce section is bar none the best I’ve seen!
Alexandra Cook says
Oh wow, This looks like a great market. I hope they will have Sprout here in our place and I really love to buy fresh vegetables.
Clare Minall says
I have never been there but it sounds like a great market. I do love fresh veggies and this is a perfect place to buy.
Joseph Abimbola says
sprout, sprout, sprout! I love how organized and colourful their items are. can’t wait to shop with them.
Tammie Reinhart says
I love that they try to offer local products. More stores need to do this!
Elizabeth O says
Sprouts Farmer’s market is the best place to look for organic food. I have been going there for my groceries and you can choose wide varieties too.
