What's Local at Whole Foods (Hell's Gate Edition*)

*North/Sheffield in Chicago

Not much really.

There were these potatoes from Minnesota, on the far cusp of my local boundary. And the ramps that Whole Food's still pushing at sales prices. (I guess I'm not very typical of the clientele.) Yeah-yeah, there was the Organic Valley cultured butter and the Trader's Point yogurt, and even some Lynfred Winery cranberry wine, but overall, not too much local. I will say that the merchandising at this Whole Foods is worlds better than the one in River Forest, Illinois.

PS
I should also report that the morels at this Whole Foods came from California, and were even more expensive to boot!
