Shopping Local at Wheatsville

Austin's Wheatsville Food Co-op unveils its renovations after many months of construction, and Farm to Table is impressed. Read more to find out why...    laura

Wheatsville Food Co-op was the first grocery store I ever visited in Austin. I did not have a car during my freshman year in college and would wander over to Wheatsville when I needed a few things in between H-E-B visits with my roommates (who did have adequate transportation).
