Where can one buy edible flowers from a reputable vendor in New York?
I know we can probably eat florist-bought pansies and the like without much trouble, but I'd prefer a place that sells pesticide- and manure-free flowers for the purpose of eating. I can settle for an organic florist, I suppose, but it would be neat to get some from a vendor who's sold consumable flowers before.

Do you mean New York City? If so, there isn't a Wegman's in the city, but there are some in New Jersey, and they sell flowers intended for food.

Best answer: The union sq farmer's market has a vendor who sells organic edible flowers - he's always there on saturdays, not sure if he comes on M-W-F, but the market is there 4 days a week. He also sells other salad greens.

Ditto to what occhiblu said. I've seen them at the Whole Foods in Boston as well.

they'll be in the produce department of any good grocery store: gourmet garage, whole foods, fairway....
in the summer you can also get them at some of the farmer's markets.

Also, Grace's, Balducci's, EAT, Fairway, and the nicer Food Emporiums all have them in the produce section.

Best answer: Of the stores mentioned, Fairway is the winner for quality vs. price. The Fairway on 74th & Broadway, especially its 2nd floor, sells all the same brands Whole Foods sells, typically at 20% or 40% less for exactly the same product.
