| Blooming Prairie Warehouse
| - For those who are interested in setting up a natural foods co-op,
| Blooming Prairie Warehouse provides a selection unheard of at many
| natural foods stores. Frozen, fresh, and non-perishable items.
| Excellent organic produce. This is available at a *substantial* cost
| savings. You have to put in a little work (ordering, unloading
| trucks, etc), and you generally (but not always) have to buy in
| cases, but the selection and savings are, to us at least, well worth
| it. Jim Bradley's <jbradley@tyrell.net> wife organizes a co-op in
| Kansas City, Missouri which buys from Blooming Prairie Warehouse,
| you can e-mail him for more info.
