I'm visiting my IL's in Jenkintown and I'd like to buy some organic fruits and/or veggies for my kids. We're just a few blocks away from Whole Foods, but their prices are outrageous, and most of it isn't even organic!!! THey want $3.99/lb for organic grapes (or maybe that was Trader Joe's around the corner.) I just bought some last week in Indy for $1.69/lb. There's no reason for grapes in season to cost so much.

Is there a local place that sells organic produce? Maybe a local farm that has a stand not too too far away? Thanks!

You're not too too far from Weaver's Way co-op. There's also a Trader Joe's in the area. There's another store close to WF, I can't remember the name of it... but it's locally owned (I think it's a chain of like three stores) similar in style to WF. Also pricey, but the time I was there they had more organics, and some *really* cool stuff. That was a few years ago. I imagine your ILs will know what I'm talking about

All the big groceries in the area are carrying a good selection of organics these days. SuperFresh, Genuardis, Clemen's, even Giant and Acme.

Genuardi's has a decent selection of organics. There is also a farmer's market at the Glenside train station on Saturday.

Darn! Today was Saturday, isn't it? Well, maybe I'll remember for next year when we visit again. LOL!

Thanks, both of you!

well, for the next time taht you visit, there's a store that sells LOCAL ORGANIC food on Rtes. 611 & 63 (moreland Rd.) called Nature's HArvest in Willow Grove.
And I always go to GIANT for organic stuff!
