Then she very rudely responded that the market has been closed for twenty minutes (although most stands were still selling) and that she was all done and gave me a dirty look. If she was closing up shop for the day, she could have addresses me politely, and furthermore started taking down the signs that says try our kimchee! But she did neither, and was just hanging out with her friend complaining about something and decided to take her anger out on me. Although they make quite tasty kraut, I will not support a business who hires salespeople to be so unprofessional rude to its customers.

Unfortunately, I developed an allergy to vanilla and caffeine (including chocolate), and for the…read morepast 10 years I've been on the hunt for truly delicious desserts without these ingredients. I discovered carob as a chocolate alternative, but most carob desserts either contain vanilla or are overly sweet--in a bad way. I recently came across Sunridge Farms Carob Energy Bites through a Google search (I live in Arizona), and I can honestly say this is the best carob dessert I've found anywhere. The texture is fantastic, with a slight crunch from the nuts, and it doesn't have that sickeningly sweet flavor that so many other carob treats do. You have to try these--they're amazing. I just wish their other carob desserts didn't contain vanilla, because I would buy all of them. Please don't ever stop making the Carob Energy Bites. I'll be a customer for life. I read through some of the other reviews and noticed that a lot of people really love the coconut bites. If the Supergreens Energy Chews version comes back in stock, I'll definitely be trying those as well. I also wish the Quinoa Mango Granola came in individual-sized bags instead of bulk so I could try it.

I am thrilled to be able to buy pastured chicken, pastured pork, pastured turkey, and pastured eggs…read morefrom Aurelio and Sarah, the husband and wife team that make up this small, local operation. I have purchased from them at the Sunnyvale Farmer's Market on Saturdays, from the Campbell Farmer's Market on Sundays, direct in the form of a couple bulk buys to stock my freezer, and over the years from a couple different season-long CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) pickup sites they've set up in San Jose and in Los Gatos. Buying directly from the farmer has been an educational experience for me and my family in terms of really understanding how food gets from the farm to the table. Before this, I bought the same cuts of on-sale factory farmed meat from the grocery store, failing to internalize that what those animals were fed and the living conditions in which they were raised could not possibly result in food that I would want to consume. I did not understand that "organic" or "free-range" did not mean what I would have assumed it to mean. After watching the movie "Food Inc.", I totally understand now why you ought to want to meet your farmers and have a direct relationship with them. The more I have read, the more foolish I feel to trust big corporations and the deceptive marketing they use to swindle you into believing their products are wholesome. If I could reasonably pull it off, I'd raise my own animals and grow more of my own food, but since that's not practical right now, this is the next best thing. Over time, I am learning how to use the variety of cuts that we get from the pork and how to render the fat to use in browning roasts, cooking vegetables, making pastry (for pies and samosas), and occasional frying. I use the chicken bones and carcass and now also the heads and feet to regularly make stock. (I am worried about what is in the bones of industrially-farmed animals so I regret using them for stocks before I learned about this.) And overall, we now eat less meat than we used to, being careful not to waste anything. We used to buy a $5 whole chicken, already roasted, from Costco, and now I am flabbergasted at speculating what they must do to be able to pull that off. Prior to reading about pastured animals, I was afraid of consuming animal fat. Now I am only afraid of the animal fat from industrially-farmed animals (as I'm worried about the toxins and antibiotics being concentrated in them). I'm also afraid of many vegetable oils as I've read that the processing of them likely has damaged them to the point of making them dangerous for us to consume. So I am thankful I can now render my own lard from Fiesta Farm's pork (and tallow from Morris Grassfed's beef). I respect and appreciate Sarah and Aurelio's transparency and values and am happy to support their business. I am thankful for their hard work and their commitment to doing things right. And wow, I am so grateful to live in the bay area where we have relatively easy access to nutritious real food produced with integrity.
