Link: Interest in organic food on the rise in China – Los Angeles Times.
Hopefully most expats have discovered Lohao City, the organic food store with seven local branches. I was thrilled to discover it two years ago and instantly felt right at home (earthy-crunchy San Francisco). It was, by far, the most well thought out collection of organic foods in Beijing, and has really catalyzed awareness of organics, both for expats and locals. I always get my greens from Lohao in a weekly food run, as I personally feel uncomfortable with the quality of other farms. The LA Times has the above article discussing Lohao as well as the current state of organics in China.

Can you tell me where is the nearest one of these shops to Haidian district?
