Best Organic Food Store

Sunflower Farmers Market

Sunflower avoids that "healthier-than-thou" atmosphere that sometimes pervades organic markets, making it a health-food store for super-vegans and mere mortals alike. Not only does it carry all of the shopping staples (often with healthy, earth-friendly and special-diet options), as well as a mouthwatering, front-and-center display of fresh produce; Sunflower also offers freshly ground coffee, and bulk bins of grains, dried goods and candies. The alcohol department is stocked with unusual wines and microbrew beers. Add to that holistic health products and environmentally responsible cleaning products, and shopping at Sunflower makes going green and healthy feel like a simple pleasure.
