Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 ONe thing I noticed when visiting out of state is a lack of GOOD health grocery stores. We have a bunch of good organic groceries here, <shrug> it's all what you are used to. My last foray was to Florida, and the nearest Trader Joes, which is the closest they have to decent groceries, was too far away. Big groceries have ok organics, but when you want fresh burdock, or anything *weird* like that, good luck! LOL.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 -our city of 100,000 third largest in Colorado has two 3 health food stores. Vitamin Cotage is my favorite. A medium size super market. The larger cities have huge chain markets. My regular grocery stores carry many organic items so I have no problem getting fresh organic veggies.-- In , Lynn <mrningdw@g...> wrote: > > ONe thing I noticed when visiting out of state is a lack of GOOD > health grocery stores.
