Ferndalians are lucky: for a not-very-big town, Ferndale sure has a lot of grocery shopping options. One of the newest to arrive on the scene is Organic Food & Vitamin. It’s on 9 Mile just west of Woodward, practically across the street from Natural Food Patch (which, I’m guessing, is its main competitor). Although the [...]
