Local & Organic

We purchase local and organic vegetables and fruits whenever possible. Supporting local growers is essential to the health of our community — and to our bodies, because fresh, ripe-picked local produce is higher in nutrients. Naturally, our organic produce varies seasonally. Sometimes we select locally grown, pesticide-free produce over certified-organic produce shipped from far away. We are always balancing our produce choices for maximum health benefits and minimum environmental impact.

Our wheatgrass is purchased from local organic farms, and our apples from Red Jacket Orchards in Geneva, NY. Most of our organic greens come from local farms during the warmer months of the year. The “Daily Specials” menu board, in each store, lists the local and organic produce currently being used.
