  Eugenia C. asked:

  Now that I'm boycotting Market Basket, does anyone know of a grocery store in East Boston (other than Shaw's) where I can get organic milk? In the meantime, I'll be driving to Whole Foods on Cambridge St (comparable or better price than Shaw's and more options when it comes to organic milk).

  1. In order to make sure the money we spend stays within our city/region and helps our city's/region's economy 2. In order to encourage good treatment of employees 3. In order to have a say in how business is conducted 4. In order to eat healthy 5. In order to save money We must shop in co-operatives like Harvest which excel in local and organic food. On member-appreciation days you get a 10% discount. Harvest has three stores, 2 in Jamaica Plain and 1 in Central square. We should probably start a co-op in Eastie :) By the way, this being Summer, shopping at the Farmer's market makes the most sense. But of course, for things we don't get there, we have to rely on super-markets. CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) is another option. I have seen CSA boxes at the Eastie Y. http://www.harvestcoop.com/membership/benefits/
