Born and raised in Chicago, my family discovered Apple Valley during a summer visit to SW Michigan. Mom was thrilled to find a grocery that carried so many different varieties of healthy foods, herbs (for cooking as well as medicinal), spices, vitamins, supplements, water filters, and more along with a great deli. The prices are much less than we could find in Chicago. Staff is knowledgeable and eager to help. At the time, according to Dad, Mom ""was as big as a barn"" as my birth was due in two weeks. And we've been returning ever since so I've been a fan since before my birth.
