And I know many consumers feel the same way. There's a growing backlash against the "greenwashing" phenomenon and, thankfully, some groups are making efforts to distinguish between good marketing and good companies. The company I work for, Scryve (www.scryve.com), is one such group. You can go to our website to search products or brands and get full reports on the environmental and social impact of those products. Scryve also lists alternative companies that make the same product in more sustainable ways. Scryve ratings will soon be available in store aisles as well, so you can see how organic your "organic milk" really is before buying it! @Marge: I totally agree!

They've got organic for a good price. I have impeccably bad timing and moved away right before it opened which would have been nice since my bright, spacious, comfy two bedroom house with a yard was just blocks away.

Now they'll have just fooled a bunch of suburbanites into shopping there buying the same crap or worse they could get at Safeway. Wow, what a bummer.

Did you happen to see if any of the products were actually grown/produced by local farms or small businesses? I'm guessing not.

That is SO disappointing. I was feeling bad because Jeff and I were the only two two in town that didn't go to the grand opening (found out from you about it). Guess we can pass, eh? Just wow. Wow!
