Web Access to Natural Food

We frequently receive requests via the web page to ship food across country to people who don't think they will be able to find high quality organic or sustainably-produced food in their vicinity. We don't have a mail order business, but we don't have to turn these people away empty-handed! There are several web sites devoted to finding sources of great food. Please share these with friends and family who pine for a natural food grocery environment like the co-op rich Twin Cities.

www.organicvalley.coop - This site will inform people all over the country where to buy Organic Valley products. Remember, Organic Valley is a farmer-owned cooperative. Don't mistake it for a faceless, heartless corporation!

www.eatwellguide.org/search.cfm - A site established by our own local prize and frequent WedgeShare winner, the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy. Go to www.themeatrix.com and watch the cartoon movie first if you're a Matrix fan. Follow the link to the Eat Well Guide afterwards.

www.conservationbeef.com - This is another site that ties you directly to a group of family ranchers. They produce only grass-fed meats, no grain-feeding or feed-lot product. These ranchers are committed to maintaining healthy landscapes on land that once supported wild herd animals and would be destroyed by crop farming. They work with the Nature Conservancy. (A few of their products are sold frozen at the Wedge.) They ship frozen product.

www.eatwild.com - Provides a state by state directory of hundreds of grass-fed animal products. Many producers ship frozen products.

If you know of other websites that provide access to people who don't have the fortune of living near a great natural food co-op, please forward them to me at elizabeth@wedge.coop. There's good karma involved in getting people good food.
