We have joined the local co-op. It is a great health store full of good stuff that you can't get at the supermarket like flax oil, tapioca bread, cashew butter and organic hot chocolate. Tidal Creek belongs to The Coop Advantage (Julie this is the association which Greenstar Coop in Ithaca is also a member). The farmers markets are starting up again next week so we will be able to get extremely fresh fruit, vegies and hopefully eggs. This year for the first time the co-op was able to return profits to its members. But one of the best things about the co-op is that it has a fresh salad and juice bar in store. Amazing salads including 'endame and arame' which was quite sweet. Andrew loved the fresh tomato and basil soup (so did Lulu). In fact we almost had a fight at the shop because both of us wanted to wander around and check things out while the other minded and fed Lucy. In the end I got to wander around when I asked Andrew when he became so interested in health food! They also sell bread fron the Stoneground Baking Company which seem to make some amazing breads (check out their specialty bread list).

Sounds pretty cool! We bought tomato and basil soup from the farmers market here - it was the first time I tried something at a market and HAD to purchase it! It will be fun to hear what local things you find when the farmers market starts - I've bought local elk and seen horse meat on sale at ours (somehow the Calgary market runs year round).
which organic hot chocolate have you been drinking? there are a few available here through places like macro and a few dedicated organic food retailers, but i suspect they all get their stuff from a few dedicated wholesalers.
i'm a big fan of the green & black's hot chocolate mix, and they have a flavour called "maya gold" which is actually an orange (jaffa) flavoured one. another brand, dagoba, is good and they have a chilli-tinged flavour, but i find the mix too powdery and it has a tendency to clump up.
i'm glad you're enjoying your new city so much! God bless
We are drinking the green and black’s hot chocolate! Will look out for the orange flavoured one!
