So we seek out the freshest, most delicious, sesonal organic fruits and vegetables. We support local, independent farmers whenever possible and are committed to promoting sustainable agriculture and biodiversity. We try to carry all organic produce but depending upon what is available, a small percentage of our food is commercial, or transitional to organic. We clearly mark all of our signs so that you can tell at a glance what kind of produce you are getting. We compost all of our produce green wastes, and donate unsaleable food to a number of local organizations, such as Food Not Bombs, Project Open Hand and Food Runners.
Due to the state of national emergency declared in Ecuador because of severe flooding, as well as the recent lift on a ban of South American bananas by the European Union, bananas are in very short supply and the price is going up.
We will do our very best to continue to have a consistent supply available to you at a reasonable cost. No one knows how long this may last. We will update you as more information becomes available to us.
Thank You,
Rainbow Grocery Produce Department
