Rawfully Organic

Yet another option for fresh food in Houston. More Farmer's Markets ... more Co-ops. And our own massive garden across the street.

Rawfully Organic Co-op is a local non-profit organization which offers fruits and vegetables that are 100% organic and from mostly local growers. There is no fee to join. The co-op comes to the (Houston) Arboretum's parking lot every Tuesday from 4 to 7 p.m. for convenient pick-up inside the loop. Orders must be placed in advance. For more information, visit their website.

I think the local market movement is maturing. As we go forward, there will be different potential vendors: There's a Tuesday option at Rice, Wednesday at City Hall, Saturday at Eastside and Midtown, Sunday at Discovery Green downtown. I think what we're headed towards is a market environment in which all of the existing inside the Loop markets will provide constant access to local food. That's unprecedented in Houston."
