Hi Candace,

> I'm currently buying most of my food at the The
> Whole Foods Market and the Sacramento Food Co-op.


I actually was down at the Sacramento Food Co-op for
the first time last night, and was quite impressed. I
signed up for a membership (though FYI for others -
it's not required, they are open to the public).

I think I had delayed going to check them out earlier
because my impressions were colored by a previous food
co-op in Raleigh, NC (where I grew up). All the one
in Raleigh had was dried beans and shabby looking
produce. To be fair, that was 20 years ago, so things
could have changed radically.

So it was great to see the Sac Food Co-op looking more
like a "mini Whole Foods." I bought my raw milk, a
raw sheeps-milk cheese from Spain, some ground
grass-fed beef and some killer olives from the olive
bar. I'll definitely work a regular trip in (I work
downtown, but live in Folsom so I can stop on the way
home)

I've heard of Full Belly Farm before. Did you stop
your membership because you couldn't depend on the
type of veggies you'd receive? I could see where that
would be a bit of a challenge.
