Here in Halifax, the closest thing is Pete's Frootique and much of their stuff is imported. As for meat...I did hear of one somewhere "over the bridge"...not sure if it really exists ;-)Ruth Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11173472189049022779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12516077.post-20113827021305353292009-07-21T14:30:12.508-03:002009-07-21T14:30:12.508-03:00Thanks for the tip.

Where do...Those purple beans look wonderful, Ruth.<br /><br />Where do I get my local food? The Farmers' Market is a start. The local green grocers often stock more local produce than the big chains, plus we have an organic CSA. Meat? I go to the small meat markets. <br /><br />And then there's my own garden. This year it's herbs and tomatoes. Next year? I'm adding squash.The Messy Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02231485575194758530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12516077.post-57509640159370335472009-07-21T08:09:58.168-03:002009-07-21T08:09:58.168-03:00I've never been able to keep the pretty purple...I've never been able to keep the pretty purple color either.pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02651944290195111894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12516077.post-61863053544435898522009-07-20T23:03:51.242-03:002009-07-20T23:03:51.242-03:00I've never seen purple beans - they're fan...I've never seen purple beans - they're fantastic.gizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03909193699597525772noreply@blogger.com
