Organic, maybe.  Healthful or tasty, nope.

On my last three trips there: on each trip, there was rotten (and I don't mean
bleu, I mean green!) cheese in the cooler.  A container of alfredo sauce which
I purchased, based on an in-store taste, turned out to have nowhere /near/ the
amount of grated parmesan cheese that the in-store sample had.  Most of their
dairy stuff is not open-dated, which I believe violates state law.  And when I
bought a fresh/organic turkey there at Thanksgiving, after /two days/ sitting
in my own refrigerator at a temperature of about 42F, the inside of the bird
was still frozen rock solid, suggesting fairly strongly that in fact it had not
been given to me un-frozen.

Not going back.  There are tastier ways to spend a lot of money.  (And their
bread don't keep worth a damn, either.)
