The restaurant is great. The lentil loaf and pecan loaf are my favorite. The store has a host of natural products to choose from.

About Country Life Natural Food Store and Vegan/Vegetarian Restaurant
Doctors Calvin and Agatha Thrash, were dissatisfied with the results they were seeing in their medical practice, and began to search for natural methods of helping the sick. They opened a small store in 1969 that would carry the items, and serve the food, they were learning would help people regain their health. Nearly 50 years later, that small store and restaurant has grown into a Columbus landmark which serves nearly 1,000 people per week, and has been named by the local residents as the “Best Health Food Store” and “Best Health Food Restaurant” in the area. Uchee Pines Institute, in Seale AL, which oversees Countrylife, was also developed and serves as a wellness and training center to help continue the goal of restoring health.
