In a previous post I mentioned how I have been focused on trying my best to purchase wholesome, healthy and organic foods. When I began this journey nearly two decades ago, it was difficult and quite expense to afford natural and organic lifestyle.

Over the years, as more and more consumers like me demanded convenient and affordable natural and organic foods, supermarkets began to provide these types of products to their patrons. Instead of driving all over visiting several natural foods markets for my favorite organic brands, my weekly shop became a one-stop shop at my local grocery store.

The South Tampa Winn Dixie on Swann Avenue in Hyde Park is the latest supermarket to offer its shoppers what they want – ready available fast, fresh healthy living foods and this particular store is only the second Winn-Dixie to receive top-of-the-line enhancements of this magnitude in the state.

In addition to the 3,000 natural and organic products in the expanded brand new health food store-within-a-store called Naturally Better, shoppers can also find a trained Health and Wellness specialist on hand to help with product recommendations.

More than a meat department, the Butcher features Florida Frank’s grass fed, natural beef and organic chicken, USDA Choice Prime beef, dry aged beef and premium Wagyu cuts and will happily make fresh cuts of meat by request.

For those of us who eat seasonally, Winn Dixie (and its parent company Southeastern Grocers) works with local growers to ensure our customers have the right variety of the freshest produce for each season. When shopping at Winn Dixie, look for the “Fresh from Florida” logo to identify local produce.

Winn Dixie also keeps its store Kosher with 24 feet of kosher grocery items as well as fresh and frozen kosher offerings throughout the meat, dairy, bakery, wine and frozen departments.
