Although... eggs we've got. We may not have a lot of fancy CA produce, but we have a chicken or two in these here parts. I would think they could find an east coast distributor/source. I guess I could actually do the smart thing and call them, but then what fun would be in that? Erin- Yes! In Stop & Shop on Monday I was faced with the agonizing decision of organic bananas in plastic or nudey non-organic bananas. I won't leave you in suspense....I went organic in plastic. My rule is if it is on the big 5 list for chemicals OR my kids eat it everyday, which they do, I go organic over all else. But you're right....who is scamming the banana man out of his nickle?
