I did a google search of Health Food Stores near Sudbury, MA and was pleasantly surprised to find one in Concord. Their website is:

By visiting their website, I never would have guessed that the store was as great as it was. If it wasn't for being so close by, I'm not sure I would have even ventured there. Luckily we decided to take a ride yesterday and liked what we found. They have a fantastic selection of just about everything I can think of. They have a great selection of the different kind of flours that I've researched but hadn't found yet. At some point I will get around to trying some of them and will review them for my blog. In the meantime, I stuck to the basics - corn pasta, maple syrup, enjoy life rice milk bars, cornbread mix, and egg replacer. The store itself had a very friendly atmosphere and you can tell that the people there were genuine when offering to help you. They also would order items needed, I just was looking to find things (BREAD!) before having them order it for me. Luckily they carry other items from companies I've researched for bread, so as soon as I try them and like them, I know I'll be getting them to order for me. Although some of their prices for staple items were more expensive (as to be expected compared to chain grocery stores), I know we'll be shopping her frequently.
Household rating: 7/10 (with the potential to be higher once we work with them on getting more specific items)
