Comment Of The Day: Sourcing Guide, Anyone?

oo

After Months Of Anticipation, Doors Finally Open At Court Street's Union Market":



You'd think for the price there would be a sourcing guide.

All I really want to know is where its from and when it was picked.

NYC has some of the worst produce in the world. Its old devoid of taste and nutrients.

This place gets its produce from the same place every other NYC shop does, just has a higher mark up.

The concept of local food is still very very distant to any of the food hawks. Fairway perhaps the worst.

I absolutely agree that we need more info about the food we buy, including if it contains genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Sunday, January 24, at 3PM there will be a Panel Discussion about GMOs at the Park Slope United Methodist Church at 6th Ave and 8th Street. It is free and open to the public. There is currently also a bill being proposed by Ft. Greene Assemblyman Jeffries that would require mandatory labeling of GMOs in NY State. This is a hot issue right now.

Directly across the street (next to Winn's) there's a Produce Place that has good quality fruit/veg and OK prices.
