Meet one of our FRIENDS- Forest Hills Foods

They are known for their commitment to quality and customer service, that’s right we are talking about Forest Hills Foods, your friendly neighborhood grocery store.




They have a great website that is fun, friendly and easy to use. (http://www.foresthillsfoods.com/). It not only features the normal spots, like weekly ads, but also great resources to help you with your shopping. Need to shop fast? You can plan ahead with the “Browse the Aisles” area, which tells you exactly where to find any product in the store- from diapers to pizza sauce. Need a creative idea for dinner? Try the Forest Hills Foods “recipe of the day” or browse your personal library of recipes that you can save on their website.

The store itself is welcoming. The aisles are easy to navigate and the staff is always friendly and helpful. The food is fresh, from the fun pastas and side dishes in the deli section to the locally grown plump fruits and fragrant vegetables in the produce area. And the store even includes a special area with a mix of table and specialty wines for every occasion.

But what I really like is their commitment to providing gluten free food options. Most stores only have three or four standard products. Not Forest Hills Foods. The store is constantly tasting and adding new products to their aisles. Don’t believe me? Just ask the Bakery Manager, Jason Bajema, for a few suggestions. We just had some fabulous, gluten free chocolate chip cookies the other day.

Forest Hills Foods has been a good friend of VSA for over ten years. They support us in so many ways, from displaying VSA student artwork in their cafe to joining us as one of our valued sponsors for our Annual VSA arts Very Special Art Auction.

Stop in and check out this local gem. They are located at 4668 Cascade Road SE in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Their normal store hours are 7:00 am – 11:00 pm.

Thank you Forest Hills Foods.
