alas the Harvest, woe is us

[jadelennox]

Former Harvest Co-op shoppers: have y'all figured out your replacement stores yet?

I especially miss the bulk (spices and dr. bronners as well as the main bulk); some of the random local things: the Just Soap and the 21st Century Tofu from JP; big containers of active dry yeast; eco pack bags of Nature's Path cereal.

(I am in favor of places that are T-accessible from greater Davis, and especially in favor of places that aren't Whole Foods.)

Today I checked out Wegmann's in Medford, with generally happy results. The place is huge, and kind of visually overwhelming, but there seems to be a fair amount of good stuff.

In particular, they have a large gluten free section with lots of Bob's Red Mill, and a substantial bulk foods section, which will evidently soon included fresh-ground nut butters (there are three machines there, which appear to be brand new, but which do not actually contain nuts).

Importantly for me, they also carry Green Valley Creamery Lactose Free Kefir. Very glad to have a source of this that is not Whole Foods.

Other information: the Medford Stop and Shop (a couple blocks from there) sometimes carries Fair Trade bananas. When I went there were only a few, which I purchased, compared to a large display for other organic bananas, but maybe if more people start buying them there they'll start carrying more? I don't know how this works.
