Blue Hills Community Market

I have been shopping with Blue Hills Market for nearly a decade, through all of its iterations. The past couple of years have had the absolute best management and selection of products. I shop for staples like whole grains, spices, bread and personal care products-but also love to stop in for a recovery drink and snacks after a run. I also pop in here for gifts and essential oils from the attached apothecary. The staff is so knowledgeable, and I can trust that any supplements I buy have been thoroughly vetted and will be the best. I can’t think of anything I might need that I can’t find here at more than fair pricing.

Looked for this store today, what is pinpointed on maps, is a brewing company, recognized the old building still shown in maps as being located next to the creeper trail, went and the building was empty, turns out its now listed or located inside a building with signs saying the Commons. Which isn't accurate. Was passing through Abingdon and didn't have the time to stop and research to find its now a part of the Commons building on the corner.

This store has recently reopened in a newly renovated building in Abingdon. I went yesterday and was very disappointed. I often went to the old location where I would pick up little odds and ends. The new location has the ambition to be a more complete grocery store...well they fail at that. They don't even have prices on most of the items that they offer. It is chaotic and messy at the new location. I honestly feel really sorry for the employees. I witnessed some poor guy just running around. There is too much mismanagement for the regular floor employees (people at the cash register, the people who help you) to try to deal with. It is clear that someone hasn't thought this out. It is very over priced (and a good deal of the items they carry are repetitive, you can get them at pre-existing grocery stores in town. Also a lot of the items are not local...contrary to what they tout on their website). They are getting too hot for their pants if I'm being honest. They talk a big talk without providing much. I also want to mention a health concern. People are bringing in reusable containers for canister items (which seems good). What is not good is the way that people are having to use these containers, which they bring from home (keep in mind, everyone has different standards of cleanliness) and they are putting food in the canisters, taking them up to the register to be weighed, finding out it's more than they wanted (because everything is so expensive) and then walking back to the canisters and dumping what was in their containers back into the canisters so that the weight is what they wanted. Then you have other people getting their food from these same canisters. That could be cross contamination. It's dangerous. It's just one of many examples of why this location has just been poorly thought out. You get the feeling that the owners have maybe bitten off more than they can chew. I personally would much rather go to the farmers market. You get the people experience there and you feel like you truly are buying local, helping local farmers. Not like you are helping someone take advantage of local farmers.

I love the staff here! They are incredibly nice. I love that you can find local products here. It's got my favorite milk/yogurt by Goshen & the local honey keeps my allergies at bay.

One of the best grocery stores around! Hemp seeds, cacao nibs, raw cashews, if you need it they most likely have it. I love that they carry meals & treats from Sun Meal prep & blended pedler is delicious of course. Shop here! There's also the apothecary next door that keeps me stocked on all my herbal needs. I only wish they were open on Sundays as well.

My “go to” place for high quality natural supplements, vitamins and other items - from organic snacks to high quality sea salt/bone broth and other seasonings/spices to produce/meat/eggs to CBD products. Sean and his staff are extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. My family and I have been shopping here for years and we love it!

From the welcoming store front to the warming staff to the wide variety of natural and organic food and health items, this quaint but up-to-date store is a wonderful asset to our Abingdon community. The owner, Sean, has worked tirelessly to provide the best (and most) options for customers, and it shows. Whether your needs are baking, ethnic, medicinal, gluten-free, vegan, or just a lunch on the go, this is your store!

I enjoyed this wonderful store.Nestled in the heart of Abingdon's historic downtown, Lum and Susie's was an unexpected little jewel in my daytrip to the burg. I found the place stocked with a pleasing selection of quality, organic foods and supplements at reasonable prices, along with a nice cooler of gourmet sandwiches and salads -- everything a health-foodie might need to survive on the road, as it were. Also, I was surprised to find on-tap kombucha tea, the first I'd ever seen such a thing. To boot, the staff was friendly and attentive. I have no complaints about this store.So, a big thank-you to those behind Lum and Susie's. I am grateful for your service.

What a selection and variety. They've covered a broad base of health foods and products. Also, the lady running the store today was very sweet.

Small store, has more vitamins than vegetables. Heck more choices of chips than fresh veggies. Selling local organics supposedly, however, on this visit we saw one head of lettuce. Given the space allocated for fresh organic vegetables and fruit, do not expect to see much in the order fresh organic veggies or fruit.

This is the place to shop! They are hospitable, personable and have a wide selection of healthy choices. Their prices are competitive as local food stores tend to take advantage of specialty items. So shop your local Blue Hills Market. And support our local businesses.

The best health food store in the area hands down. Tons of variety in organic foods and supplements. The owner is very knowledgeable and so very kind. All the workers are helpful as well. I visit atleast once a week.

Sean, Linda and all the staff are always friendly and so helpful. they can help you find whatever you need, even if you might not know exactly what that is!! And if they don't have what you are looking for they are always happy to get it for you. We are so lucky to have such a great market here!

Everyone who works here is friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful. They have a wide variety of items in stock but if there happens to be something that they don't have they are always happy to order it. They also support local farmers and Crafters and businesses

Neat little place with oddities you won't find elsewhere. The guys here are nice, polite and will answer any questions you have about their products. If I remember correctly you can purchase local meats and more here.

Great employees, I enjoy my shopping experience. I don’t like the fact you have to tell them beforehand to apply your loyalty discount. Should at least tell you this when you sign up.
