The trick is that we can only find it at our farmer's market, so we load up once every couple of weeks. The really odd thing I'm noticing is that Whole Foods (our main non-farmer's market food source) is suddenly very spotty with offering organic produce. The only organic potatoes I could buy came in a 5lb bag, and peppers (yellow, red, green) are most often conventional. I understand that their supply is based on what is available, but this is a trend I've seen with them over the last few years, and I'm really starting to wonder. Anyone else notice the same? Matt - that's fascinating. I do notice that it is hard to find organic strawberries and grapes at Whole Foods. It would make sense that they can't keep up with demand - especially in the Bay Area!

Still, it's a real treat to have home made bread. We make our own bread too-but only once a week. Still, it’s a real treat to have home made bread.

I totally love Spring Mill bread. I travel out to your neck of the woods (or used to) just for it. Like you I make my own now, in my freecycled bread machine. I make a version of soulemama's WHO bread (mmmmm). Thanks for the shopping tips - love me those organic savings. Great to hear they're helpful! Thanks for stopping by! -- Lynn Hey!
