No, sadly Weggies hasn't thought it needful to come to the North
Country... doesn't fit their game plan, I guess...  ;(  The store in
Canton is (now) a Price Chopper (used to be a P&C, but they bought it
out).  It's probably equivalent to Krogers, Acme, and the like...  It
does have a decent selection of fresh fruits and veggies, reasonably
decent meats, etc...  I wouldn't expect anything much exotic, though.

Also in town is a smallish but nice Natural Foods store, which has been
a good source for that sort of foodstuffs.  I'm told there is also a
food co-op, I think in Potsdam (10 miles further up Route 11).

On the same private road (dirt/stone), easy walking distance.  Probably
less than a 1/4 mile.  One comes to my camp first, coming down the
private road from the paved road.

Makes sense.  Does it take longer to cook than brown rice?  I just
bought a curiosity from Wegmans, haven't tried it yet... it's a package
of Annie Chun prepared rice... a mix of sprouted brown rice, purple
rice, and I'm not sure what else at the moment.  It was out of place (I
suspect it came from the Nature's Marketplace section, but don't know
for sure), and it looked interesting, so I decided to try it... ;) 
Report later, perhaps... ;)
