Whole Foods Market Flagship

This behemoth of a store still packs a lot of the charm that helped endear shoppers to this grocer that was devoted to eating local. While it goes without saying that this location offers the same expansive selection of premium, healthy groceries and produce, the flagship store also provides complete catering and event planning services along with culinary classes. As Whole Foods continues to expand, this central headquarters will continue to attract Austinites looking to please their own taste buds at home.

Field trip: whole foods and safeway - behind the scenes.

3 comments:

Fun article, thanks. But why not a similar look into what goes on with Safeway? Everything ended up being Wholefoods!

um, that's WFM in San Mateo. But the woman on the left hasn't worked there for quite a while. Things that make you go hmmmmm.....

Thanks for the comments. Yes, the Whole Foods tour was San Mateo - the tour was last spring, so it's possible our Whole Foods guide is no longer there.

4 Grocery Store Field Trips for Kids in Southern California!

photo credit: Downtowngal

When a child goes on a field trip to their local grocery store they are learning about all sorts of new things!

• Discover the behind-the-scenes activities of the grocery store (e.g., meat department, bakery, and
• produce department).
• Students are introduced to the food pyramid and healthy eating.
• Recognize their favorite food and non-food products through advertising.
• Become familiar with the farm-to-market system and how their food is sourced (local vs. non-local)
• Explore the different roles (e.g., cashier, manager, stocker, bagger) of the grocery store.
• Try samples of food or merchandise in the store.
• Experience the concept of paying for goods and services with money.

In Southern California there are 4 local stores that offer Grocery Store Field Trips for Kids!   Whether you are looking to set up a  grocery store field trip for your homeschool co-op, school group or scout troop, make sure to call ahead to get all the details.

1. Bristol Farms (Hollywood, Manhattan Beach, Rolling Hills, Santa Monica, South Pasadena, West Hollywood, Westchester, Westwood, Newport Beach, Westlake Village, La Jolla and Palm Desert)

Bristol Farms offers a FREE 45 minute tour of their store for kids!  The idea group size is 15 – 20 children.  Kids have the opportunity to go through each department within the store and see how they operate.  Depending upon the age of your group, older children may hold a lobster while younger children decorate cupcakes.

2.  Trader Joes (Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange County, Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego Counties)

Trader Joe’s is known to have some of the friendliest staff in customer service!  They are more than willing to go out of their way to help their customers.  The same is true when you go on a FREE field trip to your local Trader Joe’s store.  During a tour, students learn about the daily operations of running a grocery store, explore health snack and lunch options and are given a little goody bag to take home at the end of the tour.

3. Ralph’s Speak Out – It’s Your Earth!  (Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange County, Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego Counties)

From the website, Speak Out. It’s Your Earth! is a FREE program that opens the doors of your neighborhood Ralphs store to teach valuable lessons about making choices during the shopping experience and how those choices impact the environment.  Conservation and environmental concepts, including how students’ actions impact the world, are explored during this community-based learning adventure.

Each stop provides important information about how the store is reducing its environmental footprint and how students can use those concepts in their own lives.  Children learn about practices that are good for their health and the planet’s health.  The field trips are reviewed by Field Trip Factory’s expert educators, and create memories that last a lifetime.

To prepare your students, pre-field trip activities are available under Resources !  Post-field trip activities are available after the trip to reinforce content.

The tour is ONLY available in April and advance reservations are required.

4. Whole Foods Market (Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego and Ventura Counties)

Whole Foods Market offers FREE tours for children at all of their local Southern California stores.  Tours can be tailored to meet the individual needs of your specific school group or community organization.

Tours can focus on:

• Shopping for Value
• Quick Meal Fixes
• Gluten-Free
• Local Foods
• Healthy Eating
• Seafood Sustainability
• Smart Snacks and Healthy Lunchbox Ideas

Tours are 45 minutes to one hour in length.  Please call your local Whole Foods Market and ask to speak with their Marketing Director for full details.

Happy Field Tripping!

Encouraging women in homemaking, healthy eating and parenting

My First Trip to a Whole Foods Market!

August 6, 2010 by Laura 26 Comments

The closest  Whole Foods Market  is about two hours away from me in Omaha….and we almost never go to Omaha. This is why I have never, ever been to a Whole Foods Market . Until Monday!!!   We decided to stop there on our way home from our trip  and I was (like the nerd that I am) very excited . Who needs a shopping mall or a theme park when you can go to a really cool grocery store while on vacation?!?!

Judging from all the previous posts…it would appear that all of the fun parts of our trip centered around food. What is it with us, anyway?! Blueberries … Peaches … Chocolate …and a  Whole Foods Market . THIS is what family vacation memories are made of …apparently .

Do you want to see what I got? (Yeah, just humor me.)

See, I had to get some sparkling mineral water because it’s a special treat that gives me “the burn” I miss . Plus I needed the dark green bottles to give my friend for when she makes kombucha for me . Ah, a twofold purpose for purchasing the mineral water.

And I had to get cherries, because I had to get cherries . Do I need another reason?

I got cheddar cheese because the last time I ordered cheese from Azure Standard , it didn’t come in and I was completely out of cheese.

I got hotdogs and lunchmeat because we’re in the middle of a very busy season with gardening and canning and soccer and school…and a girl needs a little convenience sometimes. (At least these are healthier versions.)

I got yogurt because I was out and I need to start a new batch .

I got organic apples and then I HAD to get Gjetost Cheese …because have you ever had Gjetost Cheese?!?!? It’s only THE BEST CHEESE EVER to eat with apples. We call it “caramel cheese” because it looks like little slices of caramel and it tastes sweet somehow. I bought not one, but two Gjetost cheese blocks because it’s almost apple season, and Gjetost with apple slices makes the BEST snack ever. They cost $5.95/block…but we can make it last quite a long time. You just need a tiny little piece of Gjetost with a slice of apple. Seriously, I think it may be one of the happiest snacks I’ve ever eaten.

And there you have it. I paid $35 for what you see in that picture. (I would have paid $55, but I had a $20 Visa Gift Card and – like the nerd that I am – it made me happy to use my gift on special groceries.)

While I LOVED my Whole Foods Market experience…I do have to say that I am VERY thankful for my health food co-op . Not only does it give me much easier access to organic and whole foods…it also saves me a lot of money.

And now, I do believe I will go treat myself to a little juice mixed with mineral water . Ahhhh… the burn ….

August 6, 2010 at 8:20 pm

I love Whole Foods! I used to live within walking distance of one, so I went there all the time. Now it is a little farther away, but I still go sometimes. The brown cow yogurt is my absolute favorite yogurt! And the 365 whole milk plain yogurt is delicious with honey and berries, and it is also a little cheaper.

I also really like the 365 peanut butter (just peanuts and salt)and the 365 whole wheat linguine. I agree that it is not the cheapest place around, but it sure is fun!

August 6, 2010 at 8:40 pm

Oh wow! They sell Gjetost in America?! I did not know that! I’m a Norwegian girl living in USA and I love Gjetost (means goat cheese, but maybe you knew that?). I always bring some cheese back with me after visiting Norway, but I did not know I could get it in America. I’m really glad I read your blog :)

August 6, 2010 at 9:56 pm

Our closest Whole Foods is a few hours away so we also stopped in on our way home from our vacation this summer (because I, too , am a nerd) :)

August 6, 2010 at 10:22 pm

I used to love Whole Foods when we lived in Houston. Now that we’re in Idaho, we don’t have one. I did however just discover a place called Brown Box Organics here that carries all Organic food and delivers it to your door weekly for free. It was like hitting the jackpot! I still miss the Organic marshmallows that Whole Foods carried. Those things were sinful! LOL

August 6, 2010 at 11:16 pm

I love Whole Foods! I must be a nerd too~I could spend hours in there just looking (& taste testing!) at everything. Sounds like a good vacation to me!

August 7, 2010 at 5:07 am

No whole foods around here :-(

Question… you use yogurt as a starter to make yogurt? But you have yogurt?

August 7, 2010 at 8:07 am

Yes, you use yogurt to make yogurt. Here are the instructions: https://www.heavenlyhomemakers.com/make-your-own-yogurt-and-cream-cheese . Now that I have yogurt, I can start making it again. Then, I can use my homemade yogurt to make more homemade yogurt… Does that make any sense?!

August 7, 2010 at 6:43 am

Wow, I thought I was the only one who had ever eaten Gjetost! My grandma usually has it in her refrigerator and she would give me small slices when I was at her house. You are so right about how it takes so little. She also would make toast with strawberry or raspberry jam and Swiss cheese on it for breakfast. I think because it kinda reminded her of it when she didn’t have it.

August 7, 2010 at 10:15 am

Yay! I had never heard of a health food co-op. So I clicked on the link that you left for Azure Farms just to see what it was all about. At first, I thought, “nice, but they probably don’t even deliver to Oregon…”. Normally I’m not the “Eyore” type, but that’s simply where I went.

Imagine my delight when I realized they are based right here in Oregon! Whoo- hoo! I do have a Whole Foods about 20 minutes away – but I love the idea of cheaper prices and supporting a local business that has ‘my health’ in mind.

Thanks again for an ‘enlightening’ post!

August 7, 2010 at 10:31 am

You realize you called yourself a nerd twice in this post, right? :-) And now I want to go shopping! I haven’t been to the Whole Foods here, and I feel a bit guilty knowing I COULD go regularly, while it’s a special deal for you. I’m totally going to get some mineral water to try!

August 7, 2010 at 12:46 pm

Yes, I guess I didn’t want people to think that I didn’t recognize the fact that I truly have some nerdy qualities. :)

Go to Whole Foods PLEASE…and think of me. Occasionally…I’ll go to Runza and think of you. :)

August 7, 2010 at 1:10 pm

Well, I don’t view being nerdy as bad, just so you know. I’m proud to “own” my brand of nerdiness.

And is it bad that I’d really rather just go to Runza with you??

August 7, 2010 at 11:04 am

Apparently I am a nerd too, because I like to go to really cool grocery stores on vacation also. And the ‘burn”, yeah baby- Laura, you are speaking my language today. Thanks for sharing!

August 7, 2010 at 1:18 pm

I went to my first whole foods store yesterday! I am in LOVE! LOL! They had peaches for 49 cents a pound (45 if you buy a case!) and I got 50 pounds to can. I loved their bulk foods…. so many options! I had a sample of cheese…. it was a chedder/gouda mix with caramel bits added in….. OMGoodness! to die for!!

August 7, 2010 at 3:29 pm

We also enjoy finding fun grocery stores when traveling. Our nearest Whole Foods is about an hour away and it is small. I could still spend hours wandering the aisles.

August 7, 2010 at 4:07 pm

I love Whole Foods Market, however, the closest one is an hour from my house in the big city. Their email newsletter has yummy recipes. I live in Oregon and order from Azure Standard through a local food buying club. But….sometimes you want to just SHOP and then Whole Foods is very fun.

Our family loves Gjetost cheese. We have eaten it at Christmas for about 28 years since it was introduced to us by a Norwegian friend. I have never heard anyone else mention it before. As you mentioned, you only eat tiny slivers at a time so our purchase for Christmas lasts a long time.

August 7, 2010 at 6:48 pm

Funny that you mentioned Gjetost cheese…I tried a sample of it at a cheese store and had never heard of it before! To tell the truth, I wasn’t crazy about it, but it definitely had a unique taste.

August 8, 2010 at 5:07 am

I also love going to Whole Foods and just wandering the aisles, maybe trying some new things… isn’t the bulk aisle just so much fun?!

I loooooove Brown Cow yogurt. If you ever go back, you have to try their Vanilla variety; it has real maple syrup, but it’s not to sweet. It’s like marshmallow cream! I could chug the quart… not that I’d do something like that. :P

August 8, 2010 at 10:32 am

You are NOT a NERD, unless I’m a nerd too!!! When we would vacation in Park City, Utah I looked forward to stocking up our condos kitchen w/food from Wild Oats (which was bought out by Whole Foods.) We would make the 15 min drive down there and eat lunch almost everyday. Plus the shopping outlets were across the street…I LOVED those vacations!!! I order from Azure as well, we don’t have a Whole Foods near by. Even if we did though, they are a bit pricey!! I go to my local farmer’s market every week. We are blessed to have it year round (mild So Cal weather.) Plus I belong to a co-op which provides raw milk & cheeses, grass-fed beef, pastured chickens and baskets of fresh produce. VERY BLESSED HERE!!! Sometimes my hubby wants to move…I would if he actually initiated it of course, but I’m so fortunate here :)

August 9, 2010 at 1:54 pm

I feel the same way when we go to a city with a Trader Joe’s – such yummy stuff and pretty cheap too. And my 19 year old son is just as bad. It’s pretty scary!

I’ve never heard of that cheese either, but I’ll keep an eye out for it now.

August 9, 2010 at 9:08 pm

The Whole Foods in Omaha is nice but it’s still an hour from us in Lincoln. I’m generally satisfied with Open Harvest & Azure. Thanks for all your posts about Azure – I joined a drop point a few months ago & am now the “manager” for it. Whole Foods is a nice shopping experience but I love Azure’s prices. Also excited that we’re getting a Trader Joe’s in Lincoln! Amy

August 9, 2010 at 9:11 pm

Are you SERIOUS!?!?!?!?!?! I LINCOLN!?!??! Can you hear me screaming from York!??! We don’t get to Lincoln very often, but we get there more often than we get to Omaha. I am so excited!!! When? Where is it going to be?!!!

August 10, 2010 at 1:48 pm

I thought I heard something last night! :) So far they have just applied for a liquor license & there is no opening date. It is going to be down at South Pointe next to Office Max. I am also so excited!! I’m surprised they picked Lincoln. I’ll let you know when I hear about the opening date. I told my husband I’m going to be there on opening day – I’ll make it a home school field trip! :) Amy

August 10, 2010 at 7:29 pm

I love Brown Cow yogurt. It’s all we eat unless I make it. I also am making my first batch of Kombucha all by myself! Woo Hoo!

August 21, 2010 at 1:27 pm

Best and easiest recipe I’ve ever used to make yogurt: Heat 1/2 gallon milk to boiling. Must boil! Pour in a bowl. Let it cool to 110 degrees on your thermometer. Add 2 tablespoons plain yogurt then cover and wrap with towels and let sit overnight on counter. In the morning…Ta-Dah! I usually put it right in the fridge to solidify it more. BTW…I use 1% milk and I can’t tell the difference between that and whole milk. I make Lasse all the time (Indian yogurt drink) now. Glad you liked Whole Foods!

September 2, 2010 at 2:59 pm

Laura, All this time since you posted this one, gjetost cheese has been on the back of my mind. Yesterday we had a chance to Earth Fare ( a whole foods type store) and I glanced at the cheese section. They actually had it! We got to try a sample there and we love it! We bought a small block of it and I think I’m going to agree that gjetost and apples will make a good snack.

Whole foods field trip.

3 comments:

What a brilliant idea! I think all kids should go on field trips like that!

Aw that's awesome! I love that idea. What kind of school do your kids go to? I got to do cool things like that when I went to Montessori for a few years. Public schools...not so much.

Hi The Daily Dose, My kids actually go to a small Catholic school that is in the process of earning their International Baccalaureate certification so they do some cool things. Also their teacher has her undergrad degree in dietetics (sp?) which doesn't hurt. The kids just finished a unit on the 5 senses so visiting the store actually tied in quite nicely. They smelled, saw, tasted and touched lots of great things. - Shannan

Grocery Store Field Trip

Trade stress for confidence in the aisles knowing you’re making the best choices for you and your family..

Shop smarter.

Wow do more of what you love and feel great.

Are you confused about what to buy? Confident in your decisions when shopping for food?

Do you feel good about how to sift through the marketing mist to buy what you need?

Do you want to know how best to shop for your special dietary needs?

If grocery shopping is a stressful, dreaded, or frustrating experience for you, we can take you on a grocery store field trip to make this weekly ‘chore’ easier, less stressful, and more efficient.

This 90-minute tour is essentially a one and done field trip to the grocery store led by a nutritionist and natural foods chef. It’s designed to give you a strong foundation in whole foods, trade stress for confidence in the aisles, and get you smart on how to shop for your budget and your lifestyle.

• Learn about organic vs. conventional – which items are most important to buy organic and which ones are okay to buy conventionally
• Get the scoop on GMOs; grass-fed, pastured, probiotic foods; eating seasonally and sustainably
• Learn the best tips on how to read food labels and how to choose quality ingredients (find your go-tos)
• Plenty of opportunity to ask questions to your heart’s content
• Consults can be geared towards your health needs (gluten free, dairy free, etc.) and/or fitness goals

FEE: One person: $150; or team up with a friend: $80 each for a 2-person tour; $60 each for a 3-person tour

***All tours take place at Whole Foods Market in Short Pump or downtown Richmond, VA. Note that this is not sponsored by or is a promotion of this store’s products but a preferred open space for which to teach shopping principles that can be transferable to your local grocer. Off peak hours are also selected in respect to those touring and those shopping.

Grocery Store Field Trip (90 min)

“My office staff participated in a grocery store tour with Shelly, and they all found it inspiring and empowering. So often we shop unconsciously, making our choices based on what we see on TV or some magazine article. After a tour with Shelly, we all felt more confident with our choices, and since the tour my shopping experience has been more pleasant and less costly.”

“I really appreciated the information and resources. Knowing where to turn has caused me to be excited about feeding my family again! There were so many complications that caused me to become discouraged. Thank you for taking the time to teach me and encourage me. You are AMAZING!!!”

“Stressful & Intimidating, feelings I had when walking in the grocery store trying to figure out how to make the ‘right, healthy choice’. After going on a grocery store tour with Shelly, I can now say those feelings are LONG gone.”

30 Best Field Trip Snacks for a Fun and Tasty Adventure

Field trips are exciting events filled with adventure, learning, and new experiences. However, keeping energy levels up and hunger at bay is crucial for making the most out of these outings. This article will explore the best field trip snacks that are not only delicious, but also easy to pack and eat on the go.

30 Best Field Trip Snacks You Should Try:

Homemade trail mix.

Customize your trail mix with your favorite nuts, seeds, dried fruits, and maybe even a few chocolate chips for a touch of sweetness. This snack is perfect for field trips as it’s packed with energy-boosting nutrients, and the combinations are virtually endless. You can make a large batch ahead of time and portion it out into small, reusable containers or bags.

Fresh Fruit

Opting for fresh fruits like apples, bananas, and oranges is an excellent choice for a healthy field trip snack. These fruits are easy to pack, require no preparation, and provide essential vitamins and nutrients to keep you energized. You can also consider packing fruit slices or grapes in a small container.

Cheese and Crackers

A simple and satisfying snack, cheese and crackers are a classic combination that never disappoints. Choose whole grain crackers for added nutrition, and pair them with your favorite cheese slices or cheese sticks. To keep things interesting, try different types of cheese, like cheddar, gouda, or pepper jack.

Granola Bars

Granola bars are a convenient and portable snack option for field trips. Look for bars with minimal added sugars and preservatives, or even try making your own at home. With endless combinations of nuts, seeds, fruits, and grains, you can create a granola bar that suits your preferences.

Veggie Sticks and Hummus

For a nutrient-dense and delicious snack, pack some veggie sticks and hummus in a small container. Baby carrots, cucumber slices, celery sticks, and bell pepper strips are all great options. This snack provides a good mix of vitamins, minerals, and protein to keep you feeling full and satisfied during your field trip.

Mini Sandwiches or Wraps

Prepare mini sandwiches or wraps using whole grain bread, lean meats, and plenty of vegetables. These can be tailored to suit various dietary preferences, from vegetarian to gluten-free. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil to keep them fresh and easy to eat on the go.

Yogurt Parfaits

Yogurt parfaits are a delicious and healthy snack option that can be easily transported in small jars or containers. Layer your favorite yogurt with granola, fresh fruit, and a drizzle of honey for a snack that’s both satisfying and nutritious.

Air-popped popcorn is a great low-calorie, high-fiber snack that is perfect for field trips. You can prepare a large batch at home and portion it out into individual bags or containers. For added flavor, toss your popcorn with a little bit of olive oil and your favorite seasonings, such as garlic powder, paprika, or even cinnamon for a sweet twist.

Rice Cakes with Nut Butter

Rice cakes are a lightweight and portable snack option that can be easily customized. Spread your favorite nut butter, like almond or peanut butter, on top of the rice cake and add some banana slices, raisins, or a sprinkle of chia seeds for added texture and nutrition.
