Best Local Food Company

Whole Foods Market

Where most organic and whole-foods grocery stores are small operations, locally founded Whole Foods’ eco-friendly megastore on North Lamar is a behemoth. Bringing economies of scale to environmentalist gastronomy, the national Whole Foods chain proves that quality food from quality produce is not a niche market. Whether you’re stocking up on farm-made cheese and locally produced fresh fruit, or making your own salad concoction from the huge and exotic selection, Whole Foods is helping keep Austin healthy. Even their tender barbecued and sauce-slathered brisket is a healthy, clean-living option.
