The Mustard Seed, a locally owned business, provides foods that most people have not
thought about trying. Located in the Rite-Aid Plaza on East 1st Street, The Mustard Seed offers organic and all natural grocery items, supplements and even books on how to eat healthy. Some of the grocery items include ice cream, coffee, nuts, seeds and berries. This store also offers organic food for pets, to keep them as healthy as their owners. The store has been in Oswego for about eight years.
In organic foods, there are multi-vitamins that make the foods healthy. Due to the food being healthy, more college students have been switching to organic foods and cutting out artificial foods.
“The best thing to recommend for students switching to organic food is to pick
the top three things they like to eat and switch to organic,” says Eric Mena, manager of The
Mustard Seed.
If students have access to a kitchen, switching to organic is even easier because they can buy food in bulk and make it in their kitchens. Buying food in bulk benefits college students even more, because it is cheaper.
Every day, there are different items on sale for customers to try different products. Customers can find coupons in the newsletter on The Mustard Seed’s website. There will also
be a discount for SUNY students.
If students are thinking about switching to all natural or organic foods, they can stop by
The Mustard Seed and seek help from the friendly staff. The Mustard Seed also provides a
relaxing environment, with a water fountain in front right when you walk through the door.
