Green Tree Cooperative Grocery

Great place to get quality, organic products.

It is the whole foods of Mt. Pleasant. Imagine whole foods, in a very tiny scale. You can get organic produce, organic grocery. gluten free this and that. I loved that one day they had samosas and indian rice to go in the tiny deli section. I believe this is a co-​operative store, and i love that it could impact the local economy more directly and wholesomely than a national chain can. Only drawback i see in their membership scheme is the scarcity of deals for members. They do not have fresh fish or meat which would have gained another star. I expected the high prices, so I am not shocked.

I love the Green Tree! I’ve been coming here 3 – 4 times a week ever since I have moved. I love the bulk foods section and the variety of frozen items as well. Lactose Free Ice Cream, for the win. I particularly like that you can bring your own containers in for bulk foods, from local honey to coconut oil.
The workers are very friendly and it’s a very nice atmosphere. The groceries are more expensive than you’d find at a Krogers or Meijer but you’re supporting local and sustainable agriculture. As well as supporting a very needed service in Mt. Pleasant. My money is well spent here.

My absolute favorite grocery shopping experience even though we live 45 minutes away and only get to Greentree maybe once a month. The staff are unfailingly polite and helpful, the shopping space is clean and organized, there’s a relaxed and homey vibe about the place, and of course it’s great to have access to all sorts of organic, often locally/​regionally sourced foods and other goods. Unlike many coop ventures, there’s not a work requirement here — in fact, even if you want to volunteer, any coop volunteer requests are generally very targeted and short-​term projects. We’re omnivorous, so we especially appreciate being able to find a variety of locally grown meat and poultry and Michigan fish in a one-​stop-​shopping venue along with the produce and other goods. We also love «real,» organic milk in bottles, also sourced from a regional dairy. We find all these things make it well worth the annual membership fee, although you do not have to be a member to shop here; and you can get real bargains for quality foods and green household/​personal products during Greentree’s monthly sales and in-​store specials. Greentree has also expanded its deli section to include more take-​home entrees and lunch items, which is nice for us out-​of-​towners who are usually running multiple errands in Mount Pleasant while we’re there and wind up not having a lot of time to cook dinner when we get home. We just wish Greentree were about 30 miles closer to our house.;-)

Great selection of natural and organic foods.
The staff is amazingly helpful and kind.
They now feature soups, baked goods and sandwiches in their mini deli area. Follow them on Facebook to get the deals of the day.
My fave items = Pistacio rose cupcake, Italian Veggie soup, Carrot Curry soup, Laksa soup, Daiya cheese and the chip selection!

I brought in my 6 week baby and one of the employees helped me find everything I needed, answered all my questions, and even carried all my things to the register for me. Came here when it opened years and years ago and had to re visit it while I was home from Cali. Love this place.
