Do I REALLY want to know?

My apologies for my extended break! I recently found this article posted at Yahoo! news. I just had to share. Check it out.

One awesome alternative I've recently found is an online whole foods option. I took advantage of an opportunity to visit with some of their folks recently, including CEO Rod Smith. They are really focused on providing non-GMO products at reasonable pricing, delivered via FedEx directly to their customer!

A company most of you may not have heard of (yet) is moving its entire operation to Mount Pleasant, Utah and is planning to make a major impact across the nation. Green PolkaDot Box is an online membership club, focusing on natural non-GMO foods. As part of their operation, they are developing a Living Produce operation in nearby Spring City, Utah to grow and ship regionally via FedEx, fresh produce directly to 40,000 households in the Intermountain West. The operation, as described in the link above, is expected to include 30,000 verticle growing towers capable growing more than a million plants per month. Over the next couple of years, Green PolkaDot Box plans to expland this project to 15 such farm operations around America to have the ability to deliver to every household in the nation.
