I lost 10 pounds drinking it once a day for a month. They have other whole grains and herbal medicines at prices comparable to Los Angeles. Awesome store. I come here every now and then because the tiny asian lady is so nice.

We've been using Pooches Kitchen for about a year now for our two dogs one is a 2-year-old 140lb…read moreCane Corso and our girl is a 7-year-old Maltipoo and we could not be happier. Both of them absolutely love their meals! We've noticed such a big difference in their skin, energy levels, and overall appetite. It feels like this food is truly giving them a longer, healthier, and happier quality of life. Meal times have completely changed for us. Before, we had to coax and entice them to eat, but now they get so excited and actually beg for breakfast and dinner. Seeing them enjoy their food this much is amazing. On top of that, the convenience is unbeatable, having the meals delivered straight to our home means we never have to stress about running out or making special trips to the store. We can't say enough great things about Pooches Kitchen. If you want to give your dogs the best, this is it!

I found their bottle stand at the Escondido Farmers market…read more What caught my eye was the large ice chest full of bottles of colorful Kombucha. When I looked over their offerings I was shocked to see "Feijoa", also known as Pineapple Guava. An acquired taste, this fruit was a true find if you ever grew up with a Feijoa tree close by. You just don't find this fruit in your local stores. The Kombucha was very good, not too much bite to it. it comes in a glass jar. Finding Edible Alchemy at the farmers market was a score and I look forward to buying their product again.

I stumbled upon Edible Alchemy this weekend at the Sourdough Festival in Highland Springs Ranch…read more I'm not new to fermentation; I actually make my own kimchi, sauerkraut, and kombucha. I must say, Edible Alchemy's sauerkrauts are the best I've ever had. When I got home to eat them with my dinner, the krauts were "alive." I was so happy to see them oozing - a sign of life! Thank you, Edible Alchemy.

It was a little difficult for me to find, but I'm so glad I did. The owner is so kind and so helpful. He let me try the sprouts and the wheatgrass before buying them.

I realized my first review of this company was back in 2015 and in reality, I've been ordering our…read moresoy sauce from them on a regular basis since then! We are addicted and will only use the Ohsawa Nama Shoyu, which is an organic and unpasteurized soy sauce from Japan. Our Whole Foods used to carry it and now they don't and I've looked at some of the local Asian markets but cannot find it so we order from Gold Mine. In all of the years I've been ordering, I have only had one misstep with an order. It was during COVID and I typically order the 32oz bottle which will last us for about 4-5 months. What came that time were two small bottles and I had a bit of a challenge getting in touch with them during that time. Once I was able to talk to someone, they were quick to rectify the situation and they shipped out the big bottle. The shipping is always great with the bottles being bubbled wrapped and then wrapped in thick shipping paper to secure the bottle and get it unbroken to the destination. It also has only taken about 4-5 days from order to arrival. Wanted to give Gold Mine an updated shout out!!! We are customers for life!

Kosher. Gluten-free. Vegan. Raw. Organic. Macrobiotic !!! A health nuts dream come true !! I LOVE…read morethis place ! ABOUT: From their website: "Gold Mine Natural Food Company is a family run, San Diego local small business. We sell high quality, organic, macrobiotic, vegan, gluten-free, raw, kosher and specialty Japanese products. In house we produce organic, raw, unpasteurized sauerkraut by hand in small batches. Gold Mine was founded with the intention of sharing the healing power of food." Most importantly, they have a great history on how they got started. It's a business that started in 1985 on a $300 loan ! You can find their products at most local health food stores nowadays like Jimbo's and Sprouts. They are known for their Ohsawa Organic Nama Shoyu and organic, raw sauerkraut ! Both of which I've had in the past ! Their other best sellers include: GF Kelp noodles, green pea chips, and mung bean chips Check out their website for online products, recipes, events, cooking classes/demos, etc.: http://shop.goldminenaturalfoods.com/ EVENT DETAILS: I was fortunate to go to an event here: Vegan Oktoberfest Benefit for Vegetarian Educational Institute (VEI). VEI is a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating people about the health benefits of a vegan/macrobiotic lifestyle. I'm all about supporting businesses that teach the public about better health and nutrition. Food is thy medicine and this place is all about that. KUDOS to them ! Located in the heart of Poway (not too far from home WOOHOO!) and they have a large manufacturing facility that distributes traditional macrobiotic foods and other organic products such as heirloom quality grains, beans, and seeds. They also host classes, event parties, and cooking demos here ! Parking was plentiful on a Saturday evening. Indoor/outdoor set-up. Everything was SPOOKtacularly decorated. The indoor space had a large seating area and a bar with stools. What can I say ? Awesome event ! They celebrated the launch of their new GOLDEN KRAUT !! I'm a sucker for kraut and I was krauted out after this night ! They offered all you can eat FREE BARBEQUE ! We enjoyed vegan frankfurters with Gold Mine Sauerkraut and Kimchi, cucumber salad, potato salad, Maya's Cookies (BOMB.com), and other goodies ! They also had unlimited Green Flash Beer for $10 ! Everything was DEEE-LICIOUS !!! The potato salad was addicting ! I couldn't get enough of it ! The sauerkraut and kimchi were plentiful and more than enough ! I was overwhelmed and as an Asian chick I'm a sucker for fermented foods. The cucumber salad was very refreshing and was a nice addition to the flavorful, vegan frankfurter that can even fool an omnivore. NOMNOMNOM !!! They also had great raffle prizes from Solti juice, Maya's cookies, shirts, gift sets from Gold Mine Natural Food Co., and vacation getaways !! Super generous of them ! I won a huge box of Maya's cookies ! WOOT !! I've never had these cookies before and after this event, I agree that they are the BEST VEGAN COOKIES in San Diego ! Hopefully, they can expand their products and have them available in most stores. They might have another event coming up next month and I'm already looking forward to it ! I think the theme is vegan tamales !!! Oh yeah ! So glad I discovered this place, because I am now a huge supporter of them !! Keep spreading the LOVE OF FOOD AND HEALING !!!

Ordered a five-day juice and raw, vegan food cleanse and never felt better and had more mental…read moreclarity. Chef accommodated to my allergies, which was cool. Lost ten pounds, which was awesome! Now for the cleanse: I opted for the Build-Your-Own cleanse cus, let's face it, I'm no rookie. ;) Rather than juicing for five straight days and staring at my dog like he's sausage, I opted for a juice all day/eat raw at night with one raw protein bite as well a creamy blend of almond, cinnamon something to chug right when I needed a sweet fix. For me personally, that combo worked great! Food was delish! Juices made me feel like I was on crack (not like I would know what that's like, but you catch my drift), system was flushed, skin looks great, lost some weight......Love this place! Can't wait to try the raw vegan food delivery service they offer too! Healthy body and mind.......wait up cus here I come!! Choo Choo!

Caught a cold recently and took the giardiniera (which should really be called guardian angel…read morehaha). I drank the giardiniera gut shot and nipped the cold in its bud. Thank goodness! It was so helpful. My body felt so much better. Plus, I ate the fermented garlic which further strengthened my immune system. Alive Ferments is a cut above the rest: great energy and powerful foods! I've recommended many people to buy from Alive Ferments cuz they're the best! Also, I made kimchi sandwiches using the foldable buns along with burdock and carrots (matchsticks style) and mushrooms. It made for a simple and very delicious & healthy dinner. You can easily incorporate all their products into healthy living and feel good from inside out. :)

Before moving to the area we were a loyal customer of The Water Lady Water Store first in Hillcrest then in North Park. I wasn't sure we could find a water store that would compare and I was delighted to find Aunt Ellen's Water. They sell both purified and alkaline water. Others have reviewed and said that the water has a "taste," I have never experienced that. Christopher is a ray of sunshine!! Every time I go in I get so much more than just water. He is a healer and so knowledgeable about spirituality and alternative treatments. I usually get alkaline water so I always make it a point to slow down, sit and have a chat with him....I always feel so much better after leaving the store. In addition to water, the store carries all kinds of interesting books, Himalayan Salt Lamps and wellness supplements. This little shop is a treasure in the area, support local and check it out!!
