Rainbow Foods moves in. Grocery on level one. Restaurant on level two with outdoor dining with beer and wine on top. Rainbow hosts the Farmers Market (already hosted in parking lot next door) and becomes a hub for locally grown produce initiative of Mayor Floyd. Farmer’s market moves to Saturdays with live acoustic music. Support comes by making it a co-op. One time buy-in brings 5% discount, on the model of the very successful Weaver St Market in NC. http://www.weaverstreetmarket.coop/ Can you feel it?

The signage makes me think that a lot of it is available in the form of non-factory farmed/antibiotic and hormone free etc. Am I misreading the signs? How is the meat different then from Whole Foods? Despite the smell, the bag creeps and terrible customer service, the DFM has a huge selection of inexpensive organics (dairy, fruit, etc.).
