Washington DC

Tacoma Park isn’t the only place in the Maryland ‘burbs where it’s easy to eat like a hippie. The Bethesda Co Op at the intersection on MacArthur Boulevard and Seven Locks Road is one of the premier natural food markets in the metro area. The fruit and vegetable section rivals any roadside stand in freshness. The cheese department sports some high class, hard-to-find options. And the organic honey dispensers seem like something out of a Winnie The Pooh dream. Plus, the prices won’t make you feel like you’ve got to sell out to the man before you can shop there. Their motto is “Food For People, Not For Profit.” Shop at the Bethesda Co Op and not only will you find more kinds of granola than you’ve ever dreamt possible, you can call yourself a granola as well.
