Whew! Abby and Jason included in the previous crate a cute bouquet of flowers too! Theirs is an enterprise that should be supported. For $50 a month, you get two shares of locally grown, beautiful, fresh and delicious organic produce. And for feeding your family healthfully? Priceless!

Will continue ordering from here as long as we live in the area :)

Greenspot Farms is such a cute place to visit, especially during Halloween season! One of my…read morefavorite parts is the friendly dogs roaming around the farm, they're so sweet and make the whole place feel welcoming and homey. There are several animals to see, fun merchandise to check out, and lots of kid-friendly activities to participate in during Halloween. It's a great spot for little ones to explore without feeling overwhelmed. Plus, it's one of the only places we found that was *actually free* to get into, which is such a nice surprise these days. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for a fun and relaxed outing with the family!

Came here with my girlfriend for a Halloween pumpkin patch and was so pleasantly surprised! This is…read morean actual farm that is family owned and it really gives such an authentic vibe. There's plenty of food options like vendors or you can opt for some burgers and hot dogs. They have plenty of entertainment options for all ages. Face painting or bouncey houses for the kids, a tractor ride or petting zoos for teens, or the food and drinks for the adults. Plenty of picture perfect spots with the pumpkins and other backgrounds. We took plenty of photos as a couple and the tractor ride was especially nice as the driver gives you an audio tour explaining the history of the farm and all there is to see. There is plenty of parking on site but it can be pretty tight at busy times. Come here as a couple, with the kids, or even solo. So much to see and experience. We had a blast! And admission is free which is rare!!

This year for my New Year's Resolution I told myself I was going to eat healthier and cook more and…read morethis is the best way for me to do that. Good Box Organics is not only convenient, with the food being delivered right to my door, but is entirely healthy as well. The owners Samantha and Mark started this business in 2010 and have a mission of creating a healthier future. The best part is they work with local farmers to get all their produce and find multiple ways to give back to the community. They also have their Support a School program where they donate 5% back from every box sold. They have different boxes to choose from and different sizes as well. Some boxes are fruits only and others include fruits and vegetables. I went with the half size fruit and vegetable box. Before delivery, you get an email of what is going to be inside the box and the best part for me is, it includes recipes of what you can make with the items in your box. My box included an avocado, pears, apples, oranges, broccoli, cilantro, pink chard, and lettuce. One of the recipes included Baked Broccoli Parmesan Fritters which I am definitely going to try out because I always need new ideas for meals with having two small children. The delivery fee for their boxes is $6.95 or you can pick up the boxes for free at many of their local pickup locations. The service area covers the greater Los Angeles Area , San Fernando Valley, Pasadena, and Conejo Valley so definitely something for everyone!

Guess I should have told her eating duck eggs would make her eyebrows grow in darker and straight. I used the eggs in homemade pasta and ravioli for thanksgiving.

They are mindful in their farming practices, ethical in their animal treatment, and you can taste the love. I was vegetarian for most of my life, mostly because felt guilty eating animals. When my health began to become effected by my lack of animal proteins, I slowly began to introduce meats. I bought from Whole Foods, it was "pasture raised," it was pretty tasty, but I had a hard time digesting it. A few years later I started buying my meats from a farm in Nor Cal and having it shipped. I didn't like that everything was frozen but I knew it was better than the grocery-bought stuff. Once I switched to Da-Le, was when I REALLY understood how important the methods of animal care are. The farm I purchased from prior, had no intel on feeding or culling methods, and when asked how they tended their animals, their response was, "we do what we want and they do what they want, we don't really tend them." I like the idea of free-range animals, but the vendor then went on to explain that they travel for great lengths of time and lots of people come and help out. It felt disconnected to me, like it was all for profit not out of love for the methodology of farming and providing the community with great food. Anyway, this is not about the "other guys," this is about Da-Le. I have built a beautiful relationship with Ashlie and her Laguna Beach Farmers Market crew, they always make great recommendations, and are truly engaging when you come to their booth. I don't feel rushed, I feel cared about! 3 years later, I am writing blogs for Da-Le, something that brings me the deepest joy, because I am so passionate about sustainability and wellness. My digestion of meats has greatly improved, and I personally feel it is because the animals live low-stress lives and eat quality food. I feel good about my consumption of meat when I support operations like Da-Le, and my body does too!
