Connecticut Natural Foods Market in North Haven. It's on Rt 5, between
exits 12 & 13 from I91.

Lyman Orchards in Middlefield.

Let's see...I once got good stuff at a farm store on Rt 22, a bit north
of 80.

CNFM is the one I regularly go to.

At least in Shaws a few weeks ago, the imported tomatoes were imported
from Canada!
