The Neighborhood Nibblers Get the Story!

This past Wednesday, Neighborhood Nibblers Kate Morris, Emma Cramer, and Rebecca Ponce de Leon embarked on an expedition to our Local Whole Foods to find out why Whole Foods believes in selling organic foods and just how organic they are.  As the three prowled the market interviewing as they went, they found that Whole Foods gets the majority of their meat from local farms and customers choose Whole Foods for a variety of reason including the health of their children.  Let's take a closer look...

Yummy organic grape samples!

Things got a little wild in the wine section....


Tons of local meat to choose from!

Kudos to Sprig!

I would highly recommend Sprig as restaurant that is convenient to the Oak Grove area, delicious, and most importantly organic!  As I speared my fork into the tender pan seared chicken I couldn't help but feel proud knowing that the chicken had lived a happy life.  That's right, all of the food served at Sprig comes from local farms with high standards.  Although a tad pricy, all the food was tender and flavorful.  I noticed a surprising difference in the tomato sauce served with the fried mozarella grits compared to typical tomato sauces. It tasted fresh, as if the tomato had been very recently picked off the vine.  The freshness carried over to all the food we enjoyed at Sprig.  I can't wait to go back and try something else! Kudos to Sprig for delicious, safe, farm-friendly food!
