Welcome to the 'hood, Sunflower! The Berkeley, Sunnyside & Highland residents have anxiously been awaiting the arrival of the market with great quality food at 'Silly' prices. I really enjoy shopping here and have become addicted to the weekly sales. A tip to shop Sunflower: Go on Wednesday when you can take advantage of last week's sale items that overlap with the current 
week's sale items. The deals are plentiful but be warned--it's a well known fact that Wednesday's are Double Ad Day so be prepared for the crowd.
The Healthy Grocery retailer not only offers low prices but also rewards customers for being environmentally conscious with reserved parking for low emitting & fuel efficient vehicles, credits for bring your own sacks to bag the groceries and also a nutrition & cooking educational series for consumers.
My favorite part is the coffee selection which features international varieties that are organic and/or fair-trade for the steal of $5.99 a pound. They really aren't kidding when they say "Serious Food ~ Silly Prices!"
Sunflower Markets feature local products and have a focus on organic and minimally processed items. The silly prices are not only a great marketing sloan but a nice savings at a health foods store, for a change!
I've heard there have been some issues with cars using the parking that shouldn't! Wonder who monitors the parking?
Nice informative post!

KK- I don't know the deal on the parking police but it seems there are many 'regular' cars parking there. I think some people are justifing 'fuel efficient' cars by their personal standards which seems to be all that one can do since there aren't any regulations regarding this type of parking. I do like the idea though--rewards for those who promote a better environment.

The Sunflower Farmers Markets that I visited did not impress me at all. Their seafood looked like it was frost-bitten and refrozen and their produce was poor quality. Plus, their natural living employees were not near as helpful or knowledgeable as the employees at the Vitamin Cottage.

Just visited our new Sunflower Market in Dallas, prices were great. Mostly bought produce since I had several more stops to make and didn't have a cooler. Grapes were 1/3 of the price of Walmart. Everything on sale was priced well below other grocery stores. Store was extremly clean and everyone was very helpful. Got home tried the grapes - EXCELLENT!! All the produce was great, bread delicous, store brand salsa wonderful. I will be a regular, its a 40 minute drive and well worth it. I see the Sunflower concept becoming very popular.
