| - It's a lovely store, with high quality products, and reasonable prices for what you get. I wouldn't go there for my weekly shopping, as it is a bit spendy, but once I have my staples, I will go there for different ingredients I can't get elsewhere, sustainable fish, great baked goods, stellar produce, high quality meats. If I want something special, they're one of the first places I go to.
Their policy of highlighting local goods is fantastic. There are little yellow signs in every aisle to point out products made within 150 miles or so, each sign showing where the product was made and how far way it is. When given a choice between a few products, if I know something supports my community, I will favor it.
It's a very relaxing atmosphere to shop, too. I normally hate food shopping, but it is a pleasant experience, and I feel better when I am in there.
That all goes away, though, in the parking lot, which is too small, and too crowded. I plan my trips for the middle of the day in the hopes to avoid too many people. It is the only bad part about shopping there.
