Comments on: Co-Op Food Shopping: saving $ while shopping organic http://www.notquitenigella.com/2009/02/05/co-op-food-shopping-saving-while-shopping-organic/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

We set about buying locally grown produce to go with the environmental theme so we visited Alfalfa House in Enmore.

Here in Israel, and especially in the Tel Aviv area, organic supermarkets have appeared like mushrooms the last few years. I love to shop in them, actually, I shop more in those markets than in normal supermarkets. What a lovely shop!

I love using that too! Although at 62c it's easy and economical to use the whole beans (not when they're $7 each). Hi Johanna-Yes they are great and as you mentioned very friendly! Which is always nice indeed :) Hi Esz-I had to stop myself from buying more :lol: Perhaps someone else in Melbourne might know? :) Hi lili-Wonderful! I've driven past so many times too not knowing the goodies that lay within :) Hi Helen-Hehe who knows! Hi K-Wonderful and thankyou for reading! :) I think it's a great idea and one that can be easily set up in any community. As you can see it started off very, very small in the front lounge room of a house :lol: Thanks and you're welcome! Hi reddoorred-I couldn't agree more! Hi grace-haha that's how I felt! Hi Jorden-I'm amazed that they don't! I would have thought the UK would be really ahead as you have a big organic movement too :) Hi tuulikki-Thanks so much!
