Today's Pearl Whole Foods Report

If you're thinking of adding a furry friend to your home, the Boulder Valley Humane Society pet adoption van is at the Pearl Street Whole Foods today. Resisting the temptation to go in as I passed by, I saw a happy looking couple checking out an even happier looking dog outside the van. Hope they've found their match. Inside the store, I was ecstatic to see that the organic fresh fig sale of $2.99/lb has been extended a week, and now runs until 9/14. Organic green (also purple and sometimes yellow) beans have bumped up a bit to $2.49/lb from the fantastic $1.99/lb they were last week, but that's still half as much as you'll likely find locally from an organic farm. The beans do say they're from Colorado but unfortunately don't identify a farm. I love supporting our local farm culture, but price has to figure in there as well.
