Situated in the heart of Traverse City, Edson Farms Natural Foods stands as a center of holistic wellness and sustainability. Co-owned by Jessica Edson, a passionate advocate for addiction treatment services, this local gem has become synonymous with health, community and eco-friendly living.

Edson Farms began as a small family-owned venture, driven by a simple yet profound mission: to provide the community with access to the highest quality natural and organic products. Today, it has grown into a beloved institution, revered for its dedication to local produce, ethical grocery items and comprehensive wellness services.

Walking into Edson Farms, customers are greeted by a vibrant display of produce that celebrates the bounty of Northern Michigan. The store boasts an impressive array of fruits and vegetables, sourced from nearby farms like Heartwood Forest Farm, Lakeview Hill Farm and Sleeping Bear Farms. “We are proud to offer produce that is grown either locally or organically—often both,” says Edson. This commitment not only ensures freshness, but also supports local agriculture and reduces the environmental impact of long-distance transportation.

Beyond produce, Edson Farms is a treasure trove of groceries that meet the highest standards of health and sustainability. The shelves are stocked with products from reputable companies that prioritize wholesome ingredients and ethical practices. From allergen-friendly snacks to locally made delicacies, the grocery section caters to a wide range of dietary needs and preferences. “We specialize in accommodating our guests’ special needs, walking them through our store and helping them find foods that will keep them safe and healthy,” Edson explains.

The store’s commitment to wellness extends to its extensive selection of high-quality supplements. Each product is carefully researched to ensure it meets rigorous standards, allowing customers to shop with confidence. Whether it’s boosting immunity, enhancing energy levels or supporting overall health, Edson Farms has a supplement to match every need.

In the health and beauty section, customers find a curated selection of natural products ranging from essential oils to makeup. Each item is chosen for its clean, natural ingredients, reflecting Edson Farms’ philosophy that what we put on our bodies is just as important as what we put in them. The store’s offerings ensure that customers can maintain their beauty routines without compromising their health or the environment.

One of the standout features of Edson Farms is its deli and juice bar, which provides convenient, healthy options for those on the go. The Grab ’n Go section is perfect for quick meals, whether heading to the beach, on a hike or to a sporting event. The juice bar offers a variety of raw juices designed to cleanse the body and rejuvenate the mind. “A juice cleanse is like a spring cleaning for your body,” Edson says. “It’s an easy way to hit the reset button and restore balance.”

For those looking to indulge in a fine selection of beverages, Edson Farms’ beer and wine department does not disappoint. Stocked with the finest quality beers, wines, seltzers and craft cocktails, the selection is continually updated to reflect seasonal changes and local offerings.

Edson Farms’ dedication to customer satisfaction is further exemplified by its Member Loyalty Rewards Program. Free to join, the program offers numerous benefits, including a rebate on all purchases, special birthday coupons and exclusive promotions.
