Does anyone know if there are any plans for a Whole Foods in the area? Are there any good organic food stores in VB in particular that I should know about (other than the new TJ's)?

supposedly Whole Foods is scouting the Peninsula at the proposed Oyster Point Village development in Newport News

Farm Fresh has a pretty good selection, but not to the extent the specialty stores do.

Heritage is definitely worth checking out and you might have luck with Organic Food Depot, though I haven't been to one in about a year. There are locations in Virginia Beach(off of Holland Rd. near Mt. Trashmore), in Norfolk (off of Granby St. near 19th st-I think), and in Olde Town Portsmouth.


I wish a Whole Foods would open up in Virginia Beach. The downtown area could use one. I'd say it should take over the space where Kroger/HQ used to be(on Independence across from Dick's Sporting Goods and behind the strip mall with the Starbucks and Vitamin store.)

Thanks, The Heritage looks great. I hope they do open a Whole Foods soon. I love their prepared foods, esp. the sushi! I would think that a beach town would have more and better sushi restaurants! Any recommendations on that? Please don't say Mahi Mah's!

There are many sushi restaurants. Sushi & West is good, Misako's is good, it just depends where you prefer you get it. Kyosho's on Newtown road has probably the freshest sushi I've had in this area. My preference of good sushi is in Japan and Hawaii.

Do you mean Fresh Market? They aren't all organic, though they do have a small organic selection. Thanks for the sushi recommendations!
