organic apples on long island
this is just a small sample of the organic apple selection at fairway in plainview. I try to buy as much organic food as possible. it is good for my family and it is good for the earth. the only problem is, it can be expensive. this is why I love shopping at fairway. they have a wonderful selection of organic food throughout their store at competitive prices. they also have many other tempting foods like the low fat ravioli in their fresh pasta section, a wonderful cheese department and what I believe are the tastiest bagels on long island. there are so many different things that I love about this store I am realizing as I write this that I should probably do more than one post about fairway!
until then, do you believe in the old adage, "an apple a day keeps the DR away?

Here, we have quite a few farmer markets. The Sustainable-Eat Local program grows each year and the challenges of fresh/organic food recipes are quite interesting to follow. Yes, it is a bit more expensive and has inspired me to grow at least my own tomato next year but often if you follow the seasons and there is a bumper crop, prices are more than reasonable.
Off topic - but I did follow the link you suggested on the winter blog entry for the Farm. I am a bit embarrassed as I drove by this every day on the way to work - also had friends that lived on the block further up the road. I didn't get to visit - why I don't know - but it all came back crystal clear. Thank you!
Organic food it's expensive that's why i'm gardening now and grow may own organic vegetables !
I'm going to test your starbucks rumor at the first opportunity!

I try to buy organic as much as possible, too. It's great that more people are doing that.
I don't know if you know, but on Fridays at Nassau University Med Center in East Meadow, they have a Farmer's Market. I've never been to it, but saw signs for it. I think it goes through Thanksgiving and the goods are from locals.
Cheers, Klaus
P.S.: Just to clarify Fishing Guys remark. Please mark your post, that it can clearly be identified as a MyWorld contribution. Does not have to be in the title - but it should be clearly visible. Thanks!
