I agree. Whole Foods is now doing a much better job of providing produce from local farms which makes a lot of economic sense, whether one is 'green oriented' or not.
Our local Whole Foods stores carry a lot of meat and produce from area organic farms, and it seems to me the number and size of those farms is also increasing, probably due in some part to the effort by WFMI. For many years organic farmers pretty much had to haul their crops to local farmers' markets in order to sell it. Now there's a much more robust locavore economy in this area.
WFMI has done a lot for that sector of the ag economy.
I also am not holding any WFMI stock just yet. Waiting for the dust to settle. There'll be plenty of opportunity later.
