Why It's Good:

Fleisher's carries a selection of beef, pork, lamb, veal, poultry, dairy, cheese, and eggs from farmers who raise their livestock on grass-fed diets. Grass-fed beef contains fewer bad fatty acids and more heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Fleisher's also stocks a great selection of cookbooks, condiments, and kitsch. If you can't make it to the store, check out the great recipes on the site.

Why It's Green:

Fleisher's sources from farms that use organic farming methods and treat animals humanely. The animals are not treated with antibiotics, hormones, or fed animal byproducts.
