Gulf Shores W-M Goes Organic

Organic foods have moved into the rather upscale Gulf Shores Wal-Mart. The manager I spoke to said the organic stuff had been flying off the shelves. He was showing me organic bottled pickles as an example. I bought some butter labled organic at $5.50 a lb. compared to $2.49 for Land of the Lakes per lb. so I wonder if the fears of some may be unfounded about W-M driving the price of organic foods down.

What is true about W-M and the manager even brought it up himself, is that they will go with the 'fad' of the moment as he described it. He mentioned 'low carb' as the previous fad. So if they drop the organic products in favor of some other trend, that could impact many growers who many have been growing exclusively for W-M.
