Manic Organic

Nicole, the woman who owns Manic Organic r o c k s. Her entire career spans from sustainable farming to cooperative organic sales and now community supported agriculture; the career (so) I envy.
Not long ago, we were planning a trip to Africa and since I refuse to stay with nasty corporate hotels, I was searching instead, for Riads, adult hostels or a yurt in which to stay. Over mounds of lettuce and asparagus, I casually mentioned this to Nicole (she exudes worldliness) and before I knew it, she’d connected me with a gentleman living in Morocco who told us everything we needed to know about where to stay, where to go and of course, where to eat. Talk about going a b o v e and be y o n d which wasn’t necessary because I already loved this fabulous, doin’-the-world-good woman-​owned business.
Manic Organic is much like drive through shopping since they’re located, as part of the Portsmouth Farmers Market, on a small side street that runs parallel to the main artery of Route 114 towards Newport. You simply pull up and there are lots of helpful farmers market workers available to help you gather your produce, load your car and see that you’re back on your way again, as quickly as possible, but who wants to rush a a farmers market? I used to stop on my way to work. They have everything you’re looking for, in season, fresh, organic and handled with love.
