Local: Whole Foods is coming to East Lansing!

The rumors are true!  In 2014, Whole Foods is expecting to open in East Lansing!  It should be in the 2700 block on E. Grand River, which unfortunately, makes it close to both the East Lansing Food Co-op and Foods for Living.  I hope all three stores can survive and thrive :)

Family Day will feature free fun crafts and activities with our six visiting professionals artists from Shiga Prefecture, Japan.
