Produce
Beginning June 2000, our produce departments went organic!!!
We no longer carry any commercial items. The Organic Industry has changed and grown to the point where there is enough supply and variety of produce items that we can carry only organic.
Our commitment to organic has always been strong but we felt that we needed to balance it with our customers‘ needs for items that were not available organically. We now feel that we are able to do both by carrying only organic.
In our stores, produce items that are organic have a green sign. Since we only carry organic, all the signs are green with a few exceptions. For a farm to sell its produce as organic, it must practice organic farming methods for three years before they can sell the food as organic. In this transition period, we can sell the items as ‘transitional‘ to organic. When a produce item is transitional, we use a blue sign. We only carry two-year transitional, meaning a farm has been farming organically for two years and will be organic the next year. The other exception is if we carry wildcrafted mushrooms, thoes signs will also be blue.
We are proud that we only carry organic produce. We made the commitment to the earth and our health and hope that during the times when an item is not available organically you will remember this commitment and realize how important it is to support the organic industry.
