Welcome back!

We've had a CSA share with Kretschmann Farm for 6 years now and love it! It's all organic, and they drop off in the city (lots of spots in the east) so you don't have to drive out to the farm. You pick up between 3:30 and 7:30 pm from someone's porch or garage. The "small" share is enough for 4 adults, so we split it with friends. It's a milk crate packed very full most weeks, from early June to mid-Nov. Lots of salad greens, herbs, tomatoes, zucchini, carrots, potatoes, apples, and squashes. You can arrange eggs and chickens through them too if you want.
We also adore the East End Co-op. Prices are pretty good, esp. the bulk section; their bulk organic raisins and oatmeal cost less than Giant Eagle store brand! Members get 2% off every day and 10% off on member day.
Giant Eagle is carrying a lot of organics now, even at their smaller urban stores that can't arrange a special organic section. We particularly like the Nature's Basket honey multigrain flakes cereal.
There's a new Big Lots in Homestead that (as of 10 days ago) has Tom's of Maine toothpaste, almost all of the flavors, at $1.89 for the big tube.
