Organic food in the boonies

December 13, 2005 8:03 PM

I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere with Wal-Mart as my only option for purchasing groceries. What are some online retailers that sell organic food and the like?

I don't own a car, there is no public transportation, I am vegetarian and I'm pretty far from any major metro area so the food would have to be sent to me via the postal system which I guess would eliminate any perishable items.

I am sure that there are some more mainstream options, and I have never actually ordered from Food Fight, but I doubt there are a lot of other online stores that will deliver vegan haggis right to your door!

I forgot to mention, although it is evident if you click on the link, that Food Fight is vegan, not vegetarian.

Food Fight is not only vegan, it is also awesome.

Second crw's recommendation of Local Harvest for finding nearby growers. Fresh fresh seasonal veggies -- yum!

I found the following contact info when I googled for community supported agriculture in your zip code:

Even if they don't run a CSA, they should be able to point you in the right direction.
