Living in a city I take for granted having amazing grocery stores within walking distance. Whole Foods Market has been on a roll lately opening new locations all over the country. The latest outpost is in Westford, Massachusetts. The nearest Whole Foods Market is about 25 miles away which was fascinating to me since I have 4 within 2 miles of me. I was invited with a group of bloggers to check out the new space before it opened to the public.
Like every Whole Foods Market, this location specializes in bringing local products into it’s store including one of my favorite Boston food truck’s as an in-house restaurant. Get behind the scenes by following their Instagram or on Facebook.
Clover is a meatless “fast food” place where you can grab the most amazing “Chickpea Fritter” sandwich with hummus and loads of pickled vegetables. I posted a pic on my SnapChat recently. They hand cut their french fries in plain view and change the menu seasonally. This Whole Foods Market really embraces the open kitchen concept.
From the cheese cut to order, a seafood filet theater to the open bakery that even has a viewing area for children, you really get to watch your food be prepared.
There is also a fresh juice bar right when you walk in, which is ideal if you come to shop hungry! Sip on a juice or smoothie to avoid buying tempting groceries. Kate Middleton’s trick for cravings apparently is that she has a smoothie when she wants sugar. I personally think the pressure of being a modern day princess always in the spotlight is enough to keep one thin, but I have to agree with the Duchess. I too did this when I was pregnant except I had a vanilla smoothie when I craved an ice cream milkshake.
Other unique features include Scratch Bread in the Bakery that you slice yourself, a self serve pasta bar, Nitro Coffee and Tea, electric car chargers and the decor! You might notice that the colors and fonts are a very different at this location.
Things I love about Whole Foods is that you know the foods you buy are held to the highest standards and are always the best quality.
I’m a huge fan of their 365 Everyday Value pantry staples and locally made products. In my next career I want to be a Whole Foods Market forager, the person that gets to taste and find these local gems in every region!
The local products are labeled throughout the store so they are easy to spot. I’m really looking forward to summer and being able to eat more local fruits and vegetables.
The Everyday 365 products are great for staying on budget. Like other Whole Foods Market’s, there is a killer salad bar in addition to sweet offerings. I love UnReal Candies and these not yet filled bulk bins make it too easy to go overboard. If you are not familiar with the brand, it’s basically a local company that specializes in making non GMO, no artificial colors, natural candy that mimic childhood favorites. Basically, M&M’s without the garbage ingredients that taste equally if not more delicious!
Whole Foods Market Westford is located at 160 Littleton Road in Westford, MA and is open every day 8am to 9pm. I love to go grocery shopping around lunch or dinner so that I can eat a meal in store. I love the convenience of the ready made meals and prepared foods.
Also, if you shop at Whole Foods Market and haven’t downloaded their newest app, you’re missing out on some huge savings opportunities. You no longer have to cut out coupons in store from the flyers but simply open up the app and scan one barcode for all the potential savings. You can see what is on sale too ahead of time which is helpful for meal planning.

My favorite WF find is GlutenFreda oatmeal! Very few ingredients and super yummy.
Our WF recently got Perfect Bars which are awesome and soo yummy!
I love their bulk bins! I can buy just a little bit of something for the recipe I’m making rather than buying a lot and letting it go to waste. I think my favorite is the sesame seeds.
The cold pressed juice for sure!
My Whole Foods favorite find is 365 whole wheat spinach ravioli. I have an almost 16 month old and I love being able to give him a quick, but healthy lunch or dinner. Helps that mom and dad will it the raviolis too!

I used their Purely Elizabeth granola before my marathon a few weeks ago -- delicious!
My favorite Whole Foods market find is Rishi Organic Tea,.
I honestly love their 365 brand. It’s cheaper for me to buy organic whole wheat pasta and organic canned beans there than it is at my local grocer. I also love that they carry local brands there. I love picking up some Happy Cow Creamery butter or cheese.
I love all of the 365 options and Halo ice cream:)
I love the fancy pants cookies b/c my son has allergies and they are allergy friendly and they don’t contain a bunch of junk/chemicals. I also love the 365 brand organic frozen fruit -- great for smoothies and a good price when you buy the big bags.
When I lived in Arlington, VA, right outside of DC, the Whole Foods I went to all the time sold gingerbread cake and a parfait cup made of chocolate mousse and chocolate cake. I liked getting one of each and topping the chocolate parfait with gingerbread cake pieces. It was the ultimate treat/dessert! I live in San Diego now and sadly, the stores around don’t sell either item. Now I only get that treat when I visit family once or twice a year (probably a good thing)!
I love the bulk spice bins- so nice to experience with different flavors without buying an expensive spice when you only need a small amount!
Their in-store almond butter grinder is my favorite!
Their vietnamese coffee and fresh juices are my favorite!
I absolutely love the whole foods brand teriyaki beef jerky. It is such a great snack. Also, you can’t beat the freshly ground almond butter on site!

Not sure you’d consider it a find, but one thing I really appreciate is that the meat counter includes which steps their meats are on animal welfare standards.

I do love to try new products from Whole Foods. I go bonkers if I’m out of their whole foods brand white chocolate mini chips and their semi-sweet chocolate chips. I love having a few for “dessert.” A really grrreat price, too!
I love their fresh honey roasted peanut butter!
My favorite Whole Foods Market find is Vital Farms organic pasture-raised eggs and butter products.
My favorite item at WF are their selections of 365 cereals for the kiddos. We are both happy at the taste and nutrition….throw in some wine and cheese….stop by their deli….and we are good to go! 🙂
I love their Plant based Protein powders and they taste so delicious. So happy there finally is a Whole Foods close to me again! I use to have two 10minutes away but not it was 25-30. This is 15mins from my new house! Thanks for the post 🙂

My fave WFM find is their trail mix bar. I like that it offers me the chance to pick what I like the best and make it the most prevalent in my mix. AND I can safely limit the “treats” — unlike most prepackaged trail mixes.

I’m obsessed with the stir fry bar in the south end wfm !! Best deal in the house.

I love the wild caught seafood (the gulf shrimp lately have been unreal) and organic meats (house-made chicken sausage!). Also the app is the best!!!! I love knowing what’s on sale to plan meals too.
