New to the area, I called every health food store, co-op and herb store to see if I could locate a tea that I drink that's good for colds and flu. No one had it in the entire city, and the prospect of driving two hours to get it was out, as I was feeling sick. This was also the weekend, but first thing Monday morning, People's Food Co-op called saying they could order it that day. When I gave them the go-ahead, they took the order. The tea came in the very next day! I was so surprised, and impressed. The co-op has a year-round farmer's market, bulk foods, some great specialties such as fresh, fresh miso in a variety of flavors and bases, an awesome organic produce section, and the only place I've seen organic pumpkin seed butter and black sesame seed butter. If you become a member, you receive a 4 % discount on everything, and they have member appreciation day a few times a year where you can receive $5 off your purchase. If you order a case of something, you receive $8 off in addition to all other discounts. They also have oils, grade B maple syrup, and that sort of thing in bulk. Bring your own, clean containers if you can.
