purchase consciously: organic, local, fair trade... (read all 3 entries…)

Untitled  — 1 year ago

First grocery shopping trip at home (KC, MO) since I made this goal. We have a fairly pricey store down the street that stocks a fair amount of organic stuff. It’s not ideal, but I was at least able to find some local tofu and eggs. I bought about 65% organic.

I’m interested in visiting Whole Foods and seeing how they are doing about getting local foods in. I was just in Oregon and they had a ton of local stuff. Undoubtedly there is more organic being produced there and over a longer season, but it does seem like we should be able to buy more local products that what I’ve seen so far. I’d like to talk to a manager there about any efforts they’re making to offer local.
