Today, Kim Klaver at the Health Gawker pointed me to another great site to find places to get Whole and Organic foods, Local Harvest. You can search and find local grocers and farmers in your area, or, if you can’t find someone nearby, you can shop right on their web site. I have found a couple of places on this site already that I will go and check out – I encourage you to do the same and share your experience here.

Previously, when I lived in Trempealeau, Wisconsin, I had a very hard time locating a place where I could purchase Whole or Organic foods. With the recent move to Prescott, Wisconsin, not far from the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area, I had hoped I could find a place to purchase the foods I wanted. Ironically, the first place I found is the Whole Earth Grocery in River Falls, Wisconsin. We found this place while just driving around to familiarize ourselves with the surrounding towns. We enjoyed it so much that we became members on our second shopping trip.

I know, you don’t live anywhere near River Falls, Wisconsin, so you can’t enjoy the wide variety of certified organic foods that they carry. I feel for you, I really do. My first suggestion is to check if there is a Whole Foods Market in your area by searching their store locations. I see that there are two in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area that I will have to check out and report on, so you know if they are worth visiting. Their web site certainly looks as if they are a huge supplier of Whole and Organic foods, and if you have been to one already please feel free to share your comments about it.

Regardless of where you buy your Whole and Organic foods, if you are doing so, you have take a giant step into living a longer, healthier life. Share your thoughts and comments about your favorite store, so others can start to locate the best places to buy the good stuff.
