My friend told me about Mountain Meadow Mushroom Farm and its free mushroom compost. I finally took…read morea long drive deep into Escodido and was rewarded with some really nice, organic mushroom compost. There are mountains of compost, and all you need is a big car (ideally a truck) and some muscle to scoop them up. Mushroom compost is high in salt so you need to be careful not to use too much with fruit trees. On the other hand, vegetables love mushroom compost. They also sell all kinds of mushroom varieties (Portobello, Shiitake, King Oyster, Cremini, etc.) at their front office for a pretty reasonable price (around $12/lb). Overall, a great place to get free compost, buy fresh mushrooms, and enjoy a country scenery ride in Escondido.

Delicious selection of fresh mushrooms to buy and included with tour. Free organic compost, too, so bring a shovel and buckets if you want to help yourself.

I noticed these guys only had one review so I thought I'd chip in here. I've been ordering from…read morehere for over 10 years and it's always excellent. The things I've ordered most are almonds, walnuts, pecans, dried apricots, mango, prunes, brazil nuts, cashews. Pretty much any whole food they sell is excellent. Whatever nuts you can buy in high end supermarkets like Whole Foods are awful compared to this, and often rancid (you don't realize until you've had actual good quality). Even when I buy almonds at farmers markets or the most high end boutique organic shop in LA, I always find occasional bitter almonds. I have honestly never had a bitter almond from here, which is kind of amazing because I've gone through huge amounts of them over the years. Especially if you know how to soak/sprout nuts and seeds (Nourishing Traditions style), these are the best tasting nuts and seeds you can eat. What made me think of these guys at the moment is I found a small oil press I want to buy so I can press my own nut and seed oils at home. The stuff supermarkets (and even most gourmet shops) sell is awful and too refined to be nutritious. For the quantity of nuts and seeds I will need, this would be my supplier.

I get my eggs exclusively from Christel at the green Hills Ranch. The eggs at The Green Hills ranch…read moreare delicious. I like to eat raw eggs.Even the best store bought eggs taste like rotten fish when you eat them raw but Christel's eggs are absolutely delicious. Since the eggs are fresh you can keep them out on the counter top if its not too hot. Christel has the strongest healthiest chickens that I have ever seen. Because the chickens get good nutrition the eggs are healthier. I like to support someone who treats their chickens well and you can actually see the chickens, not some large corporation where the chickens can barely walk, get their beak cut off and never see the light of day. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!

I visited Eli's Farms years ago and recently found their new location while visiting a friend. It's…read morea family-owned farm with a big selection of fruits and vegetables. The products are fresh, all natural, and of course, locally grown. The staff was helpful, and I learned they don't use harmful chemical pesticides or fertilizers, which is a huge plus. The farm stand is a nice size, shaded from the sun, with beautiful views of the Fallbrook hills. Peaceful too! I purchased a few jars of fresh honey and a sourdough loaf, the honey on toasted sourdough was a delicious treat. I also picked up some crisp green beans. They had a variety of seasonal fruits and vegetables, all of which looked fresh and beautifully grown. I'll be back when I need more fruits and vegetables. They now offer a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) subscription too. I'm looking forward to trying one, since I already get a CSA box from a nearby farm. They offer both delivery and pick-up options. If you appreciate fresh produce, definitely make a stop!

The main reason i wanted to right this review though is because i recently had to have a spot that looked like skin cancer on my back removed and the instructions to take care of it were to cleanse and put Vaseline and a new bandage on it twice a day. Of course, it got infected after about a week and a half even though I was following the instructions (telling someone to put Vaseline on that kind of wound to heal is dumb anyway and should not have followed that). I'm not prone to getting infections in cuts and what not and usually heal pretty quickly so I was surprised. When I called the dermatologist they told me I had to take antibiotics. I don't feel that antibiotics are always necessary for an infection and decided to try to heal this by myself first and if absolutely necessary turn to antibiotics. I decided to put the raw honey on it after I cleansed, it actually has almost the exact same texture as Vaseline and after about an hour of it being on it started to feel itchy and like it was healing. I woke up the next morning and it already looked so much better. I'm on day three of doing this and it looks like it is almost healed. This honey has basically healed and cured an infection which is amazing and I believe that this product actually has all the enzymes, vitamins, and antibacterial properties it says it has. I'm truly impressed!
