<p>Whole foods is definitely on the outside edge of walking distance, especially if you are planning on bringing stuff back. Google Maps says 3.5 miles–would probably be better to hitch a ride with a friend or with someone who will drive you for a few bucks (very easy to find someone to drive you places for $ at Wellesley). There are two grocery stores within much more reasonable walking distance–I go to Roche Bros., which is like a 20 minute walk for me (a slow poke), and is really very nice. I usually say that Wellesley the town has pretty much everything you would need (Banks, CVS, Starbucks, GAP, grocery store), even if not a lot of what you might want (other reasonable priced shopping, bars, etc.).</p>
