This month I am sharing images taken at my new favorite store. This store has enabled me to eat vegetarian for almost a year and I’ve loved every single minute of that decision.
Crystal Springs Produce.
This little gem is located on the bottom or De Anza in San Mateo, CA. The store is filled 90% with fresh organic produce, has one delicase for any meat, cheese, and perishables, and one and a half aisles for dry/box goods. Since shopping at Crystal Springs Produce, I have very little to shop for at Trader Joes. This store reminds me so much of the neighborhood produce stores Nate and I shopped in Paris. The owners are the sweetest people, and boy do they work HARD! Everyday, they are working with local growers to bring in the freshest produce, very little of the fruits and vegetables are grown outside of California. And if that wasn’t enough, the owner knows most of his customers by name, or recognizes enough of his local shoppers to stop and chat with you, offer the kids a banana and a chocolate. Often times he will stop you mid way through shopping and say, “Oh Oh Oh, I have the best concord pears, or blood oranges, oh you must try”. He will run into the back and grab them because he has just purchased them that morning. And no joke, they are best you’ve EVER eaten. My family loves this store. It is small, about the size of two holes in a wall. I am thankful to have found this little place. It has introduced my family to eating for the most part a plant based diet, filled with whole nourishing foods.
If you live on the San Francisco Peninsula…you must check it out!
