Lazy Acres promotes its extensive wine and spirits selection on chalkboards, as seen from the produce area.
The produce selection skews toward local and organic offerings.
A chalkboard reveals the number of locally grown produce items (146) and the number of organic items (252).

Lazy Acres features hormone- and antibiotic-free all-natural beef, as well as organic and free range poultry, antibiotic- and hormone-free, air-chilled chicken.
Lazy Acres describes its produce department as "over the top."
The store features an extensive "Natural Living" section, along with bulk foods, an all-natural-and-organic salad bar, and a juice and smoothie bar.
