Organic Food Search

Since we arrived in Arkansas, most of our time has been devoted to unpacking and getting the house settled. Back in California, we always made an effort to buy organic food, eco-friendly products and recycle whenever possible. During our first week here, we found it challenging to find the items that were so plentiful in California. Questions of "where is your organic produce" or "was this beef fed hormones" were met with quizzical looks. It has also been difficult to find biodegradable garbage and doggie-poopie bags.

Today we scored. We made a visit to Ozark Natural Foods (http://www.ozarknaturalfoods.com), which is very similar to Whole Foods (w/o the annoying attitude of the clientele) back home. Ozark is a locally owned consumer cooperative, whose mission is "dedicated to a healthful living and sustainability". The only thing we didn't like is having to drive to Fayetteville (about a 20 minute drive) to get there.

We were very happy to find this market, not only for the wonderful products, but now our baby will continue to enjoy her Annie's Organic White Cheddar Cheese Bunnies.
