There is this one store that I love, I know everyone who works there, I know people who own it and I love it so much. They have great produce there and I always loved getting my apples there. When I went there yesterday I saw that they are changing some things around, so I asked what happened. Basically the owner of the store has some personal and family problems and he had to sell the store. The guy who bought it has a pharmaceutical background, though he started studying natural medicine afterwards. I don't know if this will be any good for the store, but it's changing a lot. This store used to be vegetarian because the owners and everyone who works there are vegetarians and vegans, so they kept it meat free. Yesterday I saw canned fish there. They used to have rolled oats for like 99 cents/lb it's gone now. So far the new owner changed the supplements they are selling, but hasn't touched the produce section yet. I hope he will leave the produce alone, they have the best apples I've ever tried in New York. I'm very concerned about what this store will become...

You may good take care yourself.For my country no the organic stores, The organic food will sell in the supermarket but they can separate shelves and bags.I like to eat the organic food alike you too.I will always enter only 1-2 shores near my house.

I lived in countries where there is no such thing as organic food because everything there is organic... i loved it there... food tasted better, fruits are sweeter... in here it's very polluted, so fruits although are good, they are not as good... so i have to be very careful with food here... only organic for me :)
