Austin Veg. Links

Wheatsville Food Co-op (3101 Guadalupe, 478-COOP, 9am-11pm every day)

Only local grocery without a full-service meat department. Lowest natural foods prices in town. Deli features vegetarian & vegan items. (Deli open 9am-9pm.) A huge number of the staff are in local bands. Renowned as one of the hippest places in all of Austin.

Whole Foods Market (601 N. Lamar 476-1206, & 9607 Research 345-5003)

Whole Foods is a national chain that originated in Austin. The stores are huge. The selection is better than Wheatsville's but the prices are higher. Whole Foods is the subject of some controversy -- they had picketers arrested who were protesting Whole Foods' breaking its agreement not to sell non-union grapes during the grape boycott, and their founder & leader, John Mackey, is well-known as a Ronald Reagan-style trickle-down economics supporter.

Central Market (4001 N. Lamar, 206-1000)

HEB's version of a natural foods store.

Sun Harvest (2917 W. Anderson 451-0669, & 4006 S. Lamar 444-3079)

Mainstream store with good selections of natural foods and bulk items.
