G'day:Dear Penelope - How are your traditional food coops holding up under the competition? Does Whole Foods have a local growers program?
Good for Whole Foods. They arrived here in Seattle about 2 years ago. Portland Oregon, this year and a second in Seattle in 1-2 years. Great addition to the neighborhood. Cheers
Penelope
They do here: anything I can provide them two pallet's worth of AND THEY CAN'T GET IT FROM THEIR REGULAR COMMERCIAL ORGANIC SOURCES, they will buy from me. I think the first order I got from them was for TWO PALLETS OF PURPLE SWEET PEPPERS. There was nothing else they wanted and they don't want to put out anything that they don't have two pallets worht of. It isn't the way that we grow here, so we never filled the order.
Do they handle support of local organic growers better up there in Ecotopia?
