Philly is #9 for Organic Foods

A list by Sperling’s Best Places service, compiled a list of the top 10 organic cities in America.

Philly scored the #9 slot, due to “Buffered by a robust organic farming community in its home state of Pennsylvania, The ity of Brotherly Love checks in at #9.”

With all the farmer’s markets, CSAs and organic food options, we agree that locally grown & chemical-free foods are the way to go here in the city of brotherly love.
