The easiest way to make sure you fuel your body with heathy, nourishing foods is to do your grocery shopping at stores that stock the right kinds of food! This list will be updated as I discover new places to shop. Do you know of a store / market / farm / website that offers clean, organic and local products? Send me an email and I will update the list. I appreciate any recommendations you may have!
