Terrible management, the workers are amazing but the overall green washing of the company is terrible. Also management is racist. I applied 3 times to work here got denied all 3 times despite having an associates degree and management experience, 2 times i put down i am hispanic and last time i put that i was white, guess when they called me? When i put down i was white despite not being. I called them out for it and they told me they were no longer interested. + i have several friends who were fired for trying to start a union. They pay their employees below $15 despite charging $15 for a pound of veggies

Cool store but that's about it. Hot garbage for customer service, the employees need a reminder on how to treat customers like they're human beings. I tried checking out but the dude kept talking to his coworker (dudet) and idk why he came off so aggressive but he told me "I'm standing here for a reason' Like alright my guy I get your mad about having to do your job? Anyway the employees need to yknow not be dog water at their job. Exception is my guy Lenny, I keep missing you my hombre but you stay solid and keep on trucking my brah.

There are so many things I love about Lifesource. The staff is always authentically friendly and helpful. On more than one occasion produce staff have enthusiastically shared facts about new and unique produce items. I rarely have to wait in line and the check out staff are attentive and fun to talk to. The deli options are great for grab and go lunches or picnics. One of my favorite options is the northwest kale salad mixed with their house made ginger peanut tofu ~ yum! Their housemade vegan ranch is *the best* ranch, even if you aren’t vegan I recommend it! They also have one of the best beer selections in Salem and are constantly rotating in new options. Their wine selection is expanding and I’m excited to see how it develops. I would love to continue seeing more locally made natural wines. Lifesource has great organic produce and there’s always some seasonal wild mushroom or exotic fruit to try. They have a lot of options for vegetarian, vegan, and dairy free diets. One area for improvement is the bread selection. Ever since Silver Falls Bakery stopped delivering I miss a really rustic, freshly baked bread option. All in all, Lifesource is a gem among grocers in Salem. You can expect a unique selection, friendly staff, and something new every time you shop.

I enjoy this store and their incredible bulk selection, but they're the only store in Salem that does not allow a face shield and past trauma prevents me from having ANYTHING tightly covering my nose/mouth/eyes. I still shop, but it's only for 1 or 2 things before my anxiety kicks in. :( Tried online order and there is never a same day option.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

What are you doing for the water problem? Natural Store is reverse osmosis tap water on their produce. I was hoping for a little better than filtered as they say it doesn't work.

Joni Olson | Dec 23, 2020
LifeSource Natural Foods (Owner) | Dec 24, 2020

As a bit of context, this question was asked during a situation where Salem, Oregon drinking water was under an advisory. In response to the advisory, LifeSource ordered several full pallets of clean spring water, and made it available to the public at cost. The advisory was lifted, and we hope there will never be another issue with Salem's water quality. We have issued a statement that pertains to our current situation: "What is LifeSource doing to limit your exposure to Cyanotoxins? Until the advisory is lifted or the levels increase to the adult limit, we are using filtered “glacier” water from the 5 stage filtering machine in our store to mist and prep in our Produce Dept and for all our preparation activities in the Deli. We have contacted Glacier and they have advised us that their filtration process reduces, but may not completely eliminate all cyanotoxins from the water. For more information on our glacier water machine, please visit them at glacierwater.com
