Road Food

Though already in step with the fast-rising local-food movement, Whole Foods Markets is taking its commitment to regional growers and food producers even more seriously this summer by hosting the Farmers and Food Artisans 2007 Road Tour, a moving feast of a farmers' market that includes some of the best foodie foraging in the state, all in one traveling gypsy caravan. Included are homemade cheeses from Haystack Mountain Goat Dairy and MouCo Cheese Company, specialty mushrooms by Hazeldel, delicious sauces and spice mixes by Golden Toad, buffalo burgers from Rocky Mountain Natural Meats and, on the weird side, High Country Kombucha tea.
