Weaver is our local co-op. It's located in downtown Raleigh and only a five minute drive away. It has a similar vibe and selection to Whole Foods. It's a smaller grocery store, so there's a chance they don't have everything you need, but they have great selection of produce and meat/dairy alternative products.
