Five Super Supermarkets
I know you are discussing mainly VA but here is where I shop now in MD They aren't 'supermarkets' per say but they supply what I need. Moreoever, they tie to the local food movement which is an intricate part of nutrition, environment,etc. I am not buying convenience food but am making most things from scratch nowadays, but my grocery bills are down. The bulk selection at the co-ops are amazing and it is so much more pleasant to shop in this environment than those huge stores.
1. Takoma Park Food Co-op
2. Silver Spring Food Co-op
3. Glut Food Co-op (Mt. Ranier)
4. Norman's Produce Stand (East-West Highway, 7 days a week through November)
5. Any of the zillion farmer's markets
And of course, Trader Joe's. Still looking for a good supply of local, pasture fed meat. I'm only going to regular stores for basic supplies (cat litter and sparkling water). Can't say I miss my Giant runs.
Looking for cheese making and other supplies
Hello all,
I've recently gotten into a completely from scratch kick and am looking for a few supplies necessary to tackle some products.
Specifically, I need
Rennet
Pickling Lime - (common brands Mrs. Wages or Balls)
Kambucha starter
The pickling lime is often used in canning (although I plan on using it to soak cornmeal).
Any assistance or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Emily
