Auburn - Local Raw Food Resources (was New to Raw Foods)

[Guest guest]

Hi Sharon,

I live in Auburn and its lots easer to get chicken fried steak with a side of

fries here than health food here.

 

The Fred Meyer store in the north end of Auburn has a natural food section with

bulk foods and a small organic section in produce. There isn't much turnover in

the organic produce (this is Auburn), so often it looks unhappy.

 

Metro bus #181 goes from Green River Community College through Auburn and up to

Federal Way, where it goes within a couple blocks of Marlene's. The fruit at PCC

is usually in better condition and at a lower price, but its also pretty

expensive to get to a PCC from Auburn. Marlene's does better than any store I've

tried at selling locally grown fruit, and selling a variety of fruit,

particularly apples and pears. PCC sells the same few varieties of fruit pretty

much 12 moths a year, mostly from suppliers out of the area, regardless of the

dozens of varieties that are available locally. Here is the link to bus #181

May your day be filled with clarity, grace, strength, progress, and warm

laughter,

Roger
