Good plain yogurt, flavored yogurts too sweet I like their plain organic yogurt- good and rich. Their fruit-flavored yogurts taste a bit too sweet. As opposed to Wallaby organic yogurts the fruit is at the bottom of the yogurt cups and is too syrupy and excessively sweet. Their plain yogurt is worth buying in the large 32 oz. size, but I'd say...

Great creamy organic yogurt I love this Aussie-style creamy yogurt. It's low in fat, but rich in flavor and doesn't taste too sweet. My favorite flavors are their orange passion fruit and their raspberry. They sell large size containers for plain and vanilla yogurt as well as smaller individual sized cups as well. All in all...

Good natural energy bar Clif bars are good for an energy pick-me up and don't taste as artificial as PowerBars. They're also made with organic soy flour, soy beans and oats. If you have a peanut allergy beware of flavors like oatmeal raisin, chocolate chip and banana nut as I found I got a slight allergic reaction when...

Great Bread This bread is about as good as it gets. They sell all-organic breads, created in the French style. Their bakeries are much in the style of a French boulangerie with pastries, baguette, coffee, etc. Their multi-grain baguette is my personal favorite, but their standard baguette gets the job done as...

Slightly oversalty soup broth Good organic soups that can be purchased at most natural foods grocery stores. Slightly on the saltier side, but still good. Their vegetable broth is a good starter for more involved soup creations.

Super addictive, excellent organic popcorn Great organic popcorn. Finishing a bag takes a surprisingly short period of time. Even though they add oil and salt to their popcorn, they only use natural ingredients so there isn't as much of an aftertaste as with many microwave able popcorn brands or the popcorn served at most movie theaters.

Great organic milk Organic Valley's milk is of an excellent quality and tastes pretty sweet- maybe because of the grass fed to their cows. Also great that they are a co-op of family farms from around the country, though especially in New England and the Midwest. Definitely worth checking out, especially in...

Great local natural supermarket in Ithaca Greenstar is a great place to get organic foods, natural medicines, and home and pet supplies. They have a good deli area and a very good bulk section with tons of dried organic fruits and nuts. They're kind of like what Whole Foods would be like if it were a locally-owned co-op. Greenstar also owns...
