Just have to say after traveling across the whole country I am very proud to say that our country has come a long way with the local organic food movement. We have been able to find natural food stores and organic markets across the whole country, many of them small and independently owned. Originally we thought it would be tough outside of California. We also enjoyed many great farmers markets across the country, small and large, all creating community. When we couldn’t find either of these we found grocery stores, like Safeway, even as far as Fairbanks, Alaska had organic, non-gmo, gluten free and natural food options. I am really proud of our country. You vote with your dollar every day, and it is showing across the country that this movement is impacting the whole nation. Go America!
