I'll lead with the meat: Sprouts is antibiotic free, hormone free and bovine by-products are not used in the cattle feed-and it's cheaper than Whole Foods.
What a nice place! The staff was very friendly & helpful. The first employee we started a conversation with ended up info-loaded us about the history of Sprouts, Whole Foods and Wild Oats in the valley. There was also a discussion about mergers between Wild Oats and the Food Whole and union busting activities at a Food Whole in San Francisco.
Anyway, I like this local market. Pretty good prices on produce, lots of variety and a relaxed, easy to navigate shopping experience.
