"Bulk Up" On Bulk Foods at Santa Rosa's Community Market.

Santa Rosa Community Market on Mendocino Avenue is a true paradise for fresh food lovers, health nuts of all ages, hippies and all sorts of peaceful people. Lots of these people are looking for the best way to spend their precious dollars in the current economy, and many folks have found that the most cost effective way to get lots of of their favorite foods is in bulk food shopping. And the old familiar and perfectly located Community Market is the place to go for all of your bulk food needs.

The people who work in this store give you the impression that they love their store, and it's apparent in their glow that they are taking advantage of many of the good things it has to offer. Healthy local veggies abound; greens and fruits and berries on all sides; excellent cereals and juices and aroma therapy and herbs too many to describe, and a small but very special selection of pet foods and products for your furry family members. There are many local fresh foods for your body and soul in Community Market, and in the bulk section, well, it is one of the nicer ones you'll find in town. There is a great selection of pasta, granola, teas and coffees, even spices and oils in the supplement section.  Of course, you will find your standard choices of nuts, grains and cereals as well, and even some candy items and healthy snacks for the Vegetarian and Vegan palate. Bulking it is a great way to purchase exactly how much of what you want, and to reduce your footprint on the environment by cutting down on packaging waste. It's no wonder the people working in this super clean and efficient little store are so glowing and bright-working around all this healthy food just has to be good for you. In fact, the only thing better than being around all this stuff is eating and drinking it every day. It even smells great in this store! You can find Community Market in the shadow of the Junior College at 1899 Mendocino Avenue, with a nice big parking lot around back with 2 entrances if you drive. However, with its perfect location, Community Market can be reached very easily from many parts of Santa Rosa by foot, and it's well worth the extra time to get the exercise. So, next time you go, hike instead of drive if you can and save money and fuel and emissions while you feed your body and soul with glowing nutrients sold to you by glowing people. Santa Rosa's air quality and brutally traffic-ridden roads will appreciate it.
