it means they think you are a granola loving hippie.

it's outdated term, it's really from the 70s/80s where like, the first wave of organic grocery stores was all about selling bulk products like granola and other healthy food, which were all stereotyped as being owned and patronized by hippies. Ben and Jerries is a classic crunchy hippie brand, founded in 1978.

I remember growing up and when Farmer's Circus opened up a few towns over, we called it 'horse food for hippies'.
