However, their quality standards have them check all of their conventional products to ensure they are not genetically modified. Rising Sun does not do this from what I've been told. With Farmers Markets, that is the best stuff available. I really don't care if the government gives an organic certification as long as the farmers are growing to organic standards, which they mostly all are. @ Apu

Yes Whole Foods doesn’t have much local produce. However, their quality standards have them check all of their conventional products to ensure they are not genetically modified. Rising Sun does not do this from what I’ve been told.

With Farmers Markets, that is the best stuff available. I really don’t care if the government gives an organic certification as long as the farmers are growing to organic standards, which they mostly all are.

Look at the placards. They do have organic stuff, and it will be labeled accordingly. A lot of the stuff (about 50%) is in fact local. The worst you can say about Rising Sun is that their selection is at times overripe, so you have to pick carefully. Whole Foods does *not* have much local produce; your chances of finding local are actually a lot worse than Rising Sun. Obviously it does have much more organic selection, but the price the environment pays for delivering your organic veggies from South America is high. The Farmer's Market does have local, but not necessarily organic. It is probably the best of the three, if money is no object. Yes and no. Look at the placards.
