Orange

[magid]

Lots of grocery acquisition tonight, which went fairly smoothly (hooray for actual lists, split up by supermarket!). Except for the oranges. Whole Foods (formerly Bread & Wallet) didn't have organic oranges. I'm not dogmatically organic with my produce, but I've gotten to the point that I'm somewhat squicked by eating the peel of non-organic citrus. I asked, and was told that they'll have organic oranges "in a couple of weeks." Which is not in time for the Day of Turkey with Cranberry Relish. Does anyone have suggestions?

let one of us swing through harvest and grab some, since we can shop on shabbat?

I hadn't thought of Harvest. Hmmmm. (And there's plenty of time for me to stop there not on Shabbat. But thanks for the offer :-).

Maybe I'll try calling first.

Also, could try calling around to the other Whole Foods stores in the area.

Have you tried Wild Oats?

I'd think that they'd all have the same suppliers, yes?

Not yet; I don't know where there is one that's convenient for me.

I believe the nearest Wild Prices to you is on Rt 16... I think it's Medford at that point but I could be wrong. If you take Rte 16 east and pass the U Haul on your right, duck (quack!) under the railroad bridge and it's on the right. If you hit I-93 you've gone too far.
Some Whole Wallet store might still have the oranges; but I'd check a Wild Prices, the Harvest, or (slight chance) TJs.

Thanks for the directions. As it turns out, I don't have to do a massive search: a friend just started getting boxes of produce from Boston Organics, and will happily give me a couple of her oranges :-).
