Green Tourism Corvallis!

Eat Organically, live greenly and have a healthy life is the goal of many people living in polluted modern society. But it is hard to find all green food you desire in regular grocery store. However, in Corvallis there is a lovely local store-First Alternative Coop-that provides a full range of organic food and products you might need in your household.

First Alternative Co-op provides high quality, nutritious foods at competitive prices, with a special emphasis on organically-grown, locally produced, and minimally-packaged products. Its two natural food stores carry the largest local food selection in town.

Walking into the First Alternative Coop, you can feel the green atmosphere immediately from the painting of fresh flowers and vegetables on the wall and the neat florist at the door. More pleasantly, you will find numerous choices to fill your kitchen including community-produced green vegetables, hormone-& antibiotic-free meat, over 700 different organic bulks, and more than 300 different cheeses from around the world—including plenty of local cheeses made right here in the Willamette Valley.
More conveniently, First Alternative Co-op also offers a wide range of well-cooked food for your meals and picnics. They contain a full salad bar, grab & go case and a full line of baked goods and an endless selection of fresh deli meals. First Alternative’s talented chefs use organic and local ingredients as much as possible, and they are constantly experimenting with new recipes. You can always find new entrees, salads, wraps and desserts alongside your old favorites.

Only looking at these colorful foods and smelling their temping scents make your mouth watering. Imagine you are going to a picnic, you might like to have a Beer Battered Cod, a deli slice of Tillamook Cheddar cheese, deli olives and sun-dried tomatoes, a couple slices of locally-made cheesecake or chocolate brownies, Mo’Beta fresh and organic juice and a bottle of local Chardonnay white wine. The abundance of choices will go beyond your imagination.

After choosing all of your treats, you can go upstairs to eat on the roof top of the store. It is a comfortable and cute place to meet with friends and enjoy some sun lights. You can even see the sun set when dusk is coming.

So, friends, don’t forget to stop by the First Alternative Co-op when you are in town, for high-quality foods, delicious delis, fun roof top meetings and a healthy and green life style!
