This is such a lovely concept and I love that it's in Long Beach!…read more Everything is baked fresh in this home kitchen/backyard farm. I came across this small business thanks to good old social media and had to look them up on Yelp. I hope they get more reviews and customers! What I ordered: - Epi sourdough baguette (not pictured because I ate it all): I didn't get the sourdough flavour the night I picked it up, but I definitely tasted it the next morning. So flavourful, not-too-chewy, slightly sponge-y, and a perfect quantity to finish in one whole day. - Sourdough baguette: Just like the Epi baguette, I only tasted the sourdough the next day (which isn't a bad thing). - Jalapeño jack biscuits: Large thick, fluffy, chewy (yet tender),, super flavourful, and packed with jalapeños & cheddar - none of that miniscule piece of jalapeño and barely-there cheese; it's loaded. I do have to call out that it wasn't a flake-y biscuit, which if you're inclined to, this is not for you. However, it is perfect for halving, slathering on some butter (or jam, for the plain biscuits) and eating. - Sourdough biscuits: Just like the jalapaño sock, this one was proper biscuit, but not flake-y. If you're looking for that, this isn't it. - Sourdough brownies: These were interesting! Filled with thick chocolate chips and a good square of brownie, the sourdough flavour wasn't noticeable to me, but I liked that it wasn't cloyingly sweet. - Chocolate chip cookies: These are thicker yet flavourful. Something I've noticed with thick cookies is that the taste of flour or sugar is high, but in this case, the distribution of chocolate chips throughout the cookie seems to have been managed well! Every bite gets me a few chips, all while not being too sweet for me. - Oatmeal raisin cookies: Slightly sweet for me, but I liked the toasty-ness of the oatmeals and the balance of raisins. Ordering was easy: The day the ordering was open, I went to their website and added the quantity of whatever products I wanted, and then paid for it. I got a confirmation e-mail with the pick-up date, time range, and address. Pick-up was quick and a breeze: The day of the pick-up, I parked on the street opposite the house and walked up the look for bags labelled with my name. It was easy to find - the bag(s) are pretty large and the labels are large fonts; just make sure to pick up all your bags (depending on everything you ordered). Note: The e-mail says to show the barcode to the baker, so I knocked, however I was informed that I didn't need to do that. That's a good know thing for anyone else!

I cannot say enough good things about Alyssa and her micro bakery Little Arellano Farm. She makes…read moreincredible sourdough loaves and other sourdough baked goods. L Let's start with her sourdough. They have the perfect rustic crust and an amazing balance in the bounce and chew in the center. My holy grail go to sourdough now Not only is her sourdough loaves and baked goods incredible, but she host fun baking classes/socials. I just got back from Alyssa's Halloween-themed sourdough panting event that she hosted on her farm Homestead and had the best time! She hosts about 2 events a month and seats fill up fast. There are upcoming classes for focaccia bread making, pie making, sourdough painting , gingerbread house making, etc, We were also treated to an incredible spread of baked goods including an amazing sourdough chocolate cake enrobed in a homemade caramel sauce. And to top that all off, she has chickens in her homestead that she let out during the event and they were delightful. Some of the chickens love to be held so we got to experience holding a chicken Can't recommend enough! Support small businesses!

I ordered from Mealsdotkom every single week for months starting back in 2019 and into 2020 and…read more2021. I liked that it was a local, family owned company. I eventually got tired of the same food every week but we occasionally ordered here and there - most recently for May 4th. Unfortunately someone packed the wrong food into the bag with my name - annoying but resolved with a few phone calls and texts back and forth. We were told to put the incorrect food outside for pickup and they delivered our "correct" order. Chris Navarro, I sure hope you got fresh food since strangers unpacked your food and touched it before they realized it wasn't theirs. Now the reason for this negative review? They were out of brown rice so said they would send along a sub and refund the brown rice. Tell me why I haven't gotten this refund and have to chase it with no reply when the refund wasn't even something I asked for. I would have rather gotten my correct food without having to waste my time fixing their mistake.

My favorite flavors are: strawberry lemonade, red velvet, and lemon

Lies and Videotapes" in which Andie MacDowell's character ponders the inevitable garbage filled world overloaded with plastic packaging and poisonous products, I realized my concern was not as lonely as I had thought. Boutique-y stores have opened professing noble crusades only to prove themselves poseurs. Ricky Gervase could skillfully expose them for their self serving pomposity, but here it is is the real thing. Real paper and elegant human handwritten labels, like a treasure box that has traveled the ancient Silk Road releasing into the air aroma and light from distant past times.

Long Beach does farmers markets well and Harvest at Bixby Park is no exception…read more This farmers market is practically coastal. It takes place at a beach-side park and features everything you could need to stock up for the week. Most recently I've seen bagels, donuts, hummus, sauces, meats, dog treats, live music, empanadas, juices, veggies, fruits, and more. I love that the majority of their vendors are hyper local. You'll discover fan-favorite businesses here like Solis and Devi's Donuts that you won't find outside of the Long Beach foodie scene. The best part? This farmers market is dog friendly! Practically unheard of. The widespread outdoor environment is perfect for your furry friend. There's also a lot of trees, shaded areas, and grass, so you can instantly dive into your collection of locally made goodies picnic-style.

It's not too big but it does offer a lot of produce vendors and food vendors. It's is pet friendly as it's in the park. One side is where the produce is. Loads of nice fresh and beautiful fruits and vegetables. Farm fresh eggs also available. They do have a good amount of vendors selling gifts and trinkets. You have apparel, there's a cute pet vendor and more. The side where the stage is with a live band is where all the food vendors are located. There's been pizza, bagels, made to order meals as well as seafood vendors. There's quite a good amount on food. With the stage being there, they alway had a live band performing and keeping people entertained. Dancing happens which is a nice way to get people to enjoy themselves. It's a pretty cool market but parking is limited as it's alway pretty busy at the park.
