In most places, the average dinner travels more than 1500 miles from field to fork. Ward's Supermarket strives to bring that number down. By purchasing local produce, meats, and a variety of other hand-crafted goods, we ensure the freshness of our food. Ward's Supermarket is Gainesville's premier source of fresh, local foods, and goods.
Tired of having to figure out what lies underneath the cellophane wrapper in the meat department at other grocery stores? At Ward's, we understand that you want to know a little bit more about what you eat. That's why we have experienced, friendly butchers on staff. Everyone behind the counter of our quality meats and seafood department can let you know not only what you're eating but also when it was packaged.
Our philosophy for fruits and vegetables is simple: they should always be fresh and seasonal, and they should always be picked at their peak. Although our selection varies with the seasons, you will always find a dazzling array of fruits and vegetables at Ward's Supermarket. Ward's Supermarket tries to provide everything you need for a healthy, well-balanced diet.
When faced with the decision between natural supplements and synthetic supplements, the choice is simple: natural supplements win. Made from food sources you actually recognize, natural supplements digest more easily. The body is better-equipped to deal with natural supplements, and supplements that come from organic sources are far less likely to have side effects than synthetic supplements.
In the mood for a treat? Come browse our chocolate wall stocked with more than three hundred varieties of gourmet chocolate.

Great staff, great owner. Very homey environment packed with local organic foods and plànts. A great choice of dry bulk foods you can weigh yourself. They literally have everything you need for the kitchen and garden. Including their own variety of hot prepared homemade bbq on the go.. been shopping here for a long time and I still find my self having difficulty leaving this place. A true local gem.

Wow! My first time in Wards it was truly a delightful experience! Best fresh vegetables, fruits, cheeses, seafood... vitamins...they even had goats milk aroma therapy body soap. I was able to pamper my body and internally and externally. The team that works at Wards seem more like a family very knowledgeable very friendly and each individual has there own style. This is my new weekly stop. I had to include a photo of the most delicious beet I’ve ever had. The yogi tea selection was by far the largest I’ve ever seen.

This grocery store was clean and organized at the time of visit. They have fresh fruits and vegetables at a more cheaper price. They actually have a lot of interesting stuff like ground coffee and organics or natural soap and supplements. Also, don't forget to visit the spices aisle as they sell them for a more cheaper price than other store.
