We do have a decent health food store in McAllen on 10th Street called Sun Harvest, and just up the road from Sun Harvest is a wonderful HEB at the intersection with Trenton. I go to McAllen once or twice a month to stock up on things I need. We are members of a great CSA, which provides us with locally grown organic vegetables. There's a link to the CSA's Web site on the right, but they don't update it very often. In Brownsville, there's Loop Farms in Southmost. They grow all sorts of things, like cabbage, onions, oranges, peppers, etc. Unfortunately, they are not organic, so I don't buy their greens. Their oranges are just amazing. To get there, you drive down Southmost Boulevard past everything and eventually you'll come across the farm on the left, which has a feed store attached to it. Oh, and I forgot, a great health food store that's much closer for you. It is on the island and called Naturally's. Their Web site is www.naturallys.net. They are really good for a small health food store. They have a small diner attached to it, as well. That's only about 30 minutes from where you are, but Sun Harvest and the HEB in McAllen are worth the trips for other items you may not find on South Padre Island. My wife and I use the Internet for some things, too, such as unfiltered Greek olive oil. Mmmm. Anyway, if you scroll to the bottom of the blog, you'll see some hints on places you can find. I hope that was helpful. Take care.Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00622118666731697194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7674354624037093514.post-53475212041474644292008-02-14T20:16:00.000-08:002008-02-14T20:16:00.000-08:00Wow, a vegan in the RGV? I have just moved here as well and am trying to find health food stores like Whole Foods or with imports like Trader Joe's. Any luck with this? Seems like the only option is to drive to San Antonio or Houston and stock up.ELINhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06206901487892029498noreply@blogger.com
