My favorite places to buy organic food in Gainesville, Florida are, in order: Wards, Fresh Market, Lucky's, Trader Joe's, Earth Fare, Earth Origins, Publix and the Farmer's Markets.
You have to shop around if you want the best prices. Mostly, each place has some items that are priced lower than the other places and other items priced higher.
Some places have items that you cannot find anywhere else.
I shop at a variety of places on different days, to stay stocked, get better prices and enjoy the varied scenery.
A lot of my preference is proximity to my house. Still, here are my reasons:
Ward's has a large selection of organic fresh produce and bulk foods. Ward's has most of their organic produce all together. The store is small compared to a super market, and densely packed, which I like. I can get everything visiting two small areas of the store.
Fresh Market is conveniently near my house. They have a nice produce sec ... Gainesville. [posts] - [more]
