This was indeed one of the Sav-A-Center interior packages, an early one. The colors have been changed; most Sav-A-Center signage and decor involved green and white with touches of yellow here and there. The phrase "The Farm" as seen in the produce department was common not only to the Sav-A-Center format but to other A&P formats until recently. I think new builds/full remodels have finally deleted it, but produce departments and ads carried that tag line into the 2000's. As well, the coolers were usually but not always green.

I think this design was also used in the mainline A&P stores. I seem to remember that when A&P was in Natchitoches, LA when I was in college, their store used the same decor package. I also think that the former Centennial A&P in New Iberia, LA had the same package, though I could be wrong.
