It's Local Season!

When I walk into work everyday I enter through the produce section. Today we had local cherries, blueberries, raspberries and black raspberries. Not to mention local organic chard, lettuce, peas in a pod, yellow green beans, and well, it goes on. :D


























We're the 17th busiest natural and organic food's co-op in the country. \o/

I work in the batcave upstairs in charge of all our bi-weekly sales, entering all products into the system, and analyzing all our costs and margins from all our vendors and local farmers. And sometimes I daydream about fanfic :-P

So yummy! I try to buy organic whenever I can. It's a bit more expensive but worth every bite.

Yeah, it can be pricy. Sometimes the best thing is to buy the top fruits and vegetables that are the most sprayed by pesticides. As a co-op, our prices are drastically lower than anything organic at a giant grocery store, so that helps a lot. We actually sell most of our organic grass fed beef and chicken at only 8-10% above cost to benefit our community.

Eating organic has ruined my mom's cooking for me! Eeek.
