Green Gate

Green Gate is one of my go-​to produce stands that I pass on my way back from yoga. They have a great selection of non-​perishables in addition to an extensive fruit and veggie selection. I often pick up my hemp milk here so I can make my peanut butter, spinach and banana smoothies in the morning. The folks here are always friendly. I usually hit up the olive bar too, but they need to clean out those kalamata olives for real. I think they’ve been sitting there all dried out for a couple weeks. Brine kills bacteria though right?
Decent juice bar too!

This is the lowest priced natural foods store I’ve ever been to. It isn’t rock bottom pricing, but it’s on par with, or slightly lower priced than, any regular supermarket in the neighborhood. They have a good selection of fruits & vegetables, as well as typical natural foods fare, a juice bar, salad bar & olive bar.

Brand new fruits and veggie place in Astoria. Friendly customer service, reasonable prices and a fantastic selection of health conscious and produce stuff — literally every type of fruit or vegetable is available here (as long as it’s in season).
There are also some neat, organic ingredients and some hard to find juices (like sour tart cherry and black cherry!) that are all 100% juice with no preservatives and crappy chemical stuff in em’ — awesome!
Totally welcomed addition to the neighborhood.
