Somewhere in the maze of those narrow streets in historical centre of Genoa there is one of our favorite vicolo*: Via Dei Macelli Di Soziglia. It's very dark and long and doesn't look particularly attractive but it is where you can find the best organic food in the city. Or if you are after fresh fish and seafood. Or meat, if you like it. Almost every Saturday morning we pack our juta bags and visit our little but well stocked bio-store and do our grocery shopping. This is where we get our fruits and veggies from, along with grains, canned goods, teas and eco cleaning stuff. You can even get organic products for your dog or cat, if you have one.









I don't know why but it always puts me in a good mood when I come back home with bags full of fresh veggies and organic goods. I like to think that we really try to make a difference.

*vicolo- narrow, dark street or alley

  3. Is it difficult to find organic food in Italy? I know we're very spoiled in California -- when I moved here over ten years ago from the west coast I couldn't believe the quality of the produce! Thanks for posting such beautiful photos of your life.
