Stores that sell organic food?
I will be going to Orlando for two weeks this summer. We are staying at a place with a full kitchen so we are planning on preparing most of our own food. What are good stores to go grocery shopping at? We eat about 90% organic food. I saw there is a Whole Foods, anywhere else? Whole Foods can get pricey fast. We usually buy a lot at Trader Joes but there are none in Florida TIA.
-BTW we will have a rental car and I really don't mind driving a bit farther for better prices.
Re: Stores that sell organic food?
Publix, a regional supermarket chain that's popular around here, has a pretty decent selection of organic foods. In most of their stores, they have a section that's branded "Greenwise" where a lot of the organic and eco-friendly products are grouped together. They also have an organic section in the produce department.
There's a Whole Foods-esque chain called Fresh Market in a location or two, but in my limited experience with them, I've found them to be very spendy--probably more than Whole Foods.
If you're staying near Disney, I believe there are actually a couple grocery companies that deliver to the resorts and rentals in the area. Not sure about their organic offerings, but it might be a nice convenience while you're traveling.
Hope you enjoy your trip!

Chamberlain's sells organic food as well and there are several locations in central Florida. I've never bought food from there so I can't tell you if they're overpriced or not. Here is a link to see their locations:
