Met one of the owners, Renee Hillman who opened this farm to the public in 2006; sweet lady. The Hillman family are well known in these parts from farms to everything fish/marine life. This farm is beautiful and no doubt, lots of work; I'm very appreciative to them. Today, I enjoyed picking blueberries, herbs and various mints I didn't know existed but am so excited to taste. I'll definitely be a regular from now on. Support farmers. But local.

They have a playground, and a pop up shop filled with assortments of tomato plants and herbs, homemade goat milk soap, freshies, cowboy candy & jam for sale! All of these products are handmade from ingredients found at the farm! We had the best tour guide for the hayride, Mr. Wilson. Mrs. Renee was in the pen with the goats, and letting a few lucky people bottle feed 2 babies. Melinda was helpful and nice in the pop up shop tent. Nothing was ready to be harvested yet, but we will be back in a few weeks for blueberries.

Really didn't know what I was going to be walking into but for anyone going to check it out it's lots of produce, Mexican products, and additional pop up vendors in the back with an assortment of other small business type hobby vendors. Everyone was pretty friendly, for that many booths and stuff it felt clean. I would love to come back now that I know what specifically I'd be looking for in mind. I'd rather shop here for produce items versus the grocery store.

Not a very diverse experience in the market produce area. I came here to get some soursop, which…read moreno one had. This is mainly a Hispanic and Asian place with vendors who chose to speak Spanish to other Spanish speaking customers and ignore us English speakers. So we left to get tamales. We decided to have lunch at the Original Tamale joint and the food was absolutely delicious. The service was also great and the food options were plentiful. There's also a little sauce bar to have with your food on site. No lids for the sauce cups provided at the bar. There's plenty of outdoor and indoor seating with music playing to add to the atmosphere's enjoyment. I got quesadillas, tacos and tamales...all were great!

I pretty much always get the same thing, which is an elote in a cup with everything on it and extra chil. It comes with the corn cheese, and chile! I honestly can't remember if it has crema since they prepare it inside the trailer where you can see, but I do know it's delicious! The service isn't slow but it also takes a little bit since it seems they make everything fresh. The staff is friendly enough lol. Ambiance is chill and it seems to have steady traffic, and it definitely can get busy quickly. Also, I believe the preferred payment method is Zelle! They have a sign with the phone number hanging directly above where you order from.

There were local vendors selling food to a pediatric dentistry giving out goodie bags to kids. You had to register online prior to the event on order to obtain a ticket for a free Pumpkin. Outside were food trucks for those who needed to wash down the beer. It's family friendly, animal friendly and group friendly. They had tables and chairs for the patrons and free water. Now, I can't forget the live music. It was great. The gentleman singing played some good blues music.

I came across Linda's Tropical Fruits many times on my Tiktok before my trip to Houston, so I knew…read moreI had to add it! It's located in Chinatown, which was cool to explore as well. I actually think I enjoy Houston's Chinatown better than the ones in California like SF or LA. Linda's Tropical Fruits is not only a little store where you can get produce and groceries/snacks, but also in the back, they have the drinks and acai bowls! I ended up getting the Super Fruit Slushy, which came with red and white dragon fruit, soursop, Thai banana, and sugar cane juice. It was so delicious and really refreshing! If I got the chance to come back, I would definitely want to try another one of their smoothies and try their acai bowls since those looked so amazing and aesthetic! Definitely a hidden gem :)

Not to mention cutting it up and taking the pits out. Too much work. I rather pay for the ready to eat stuff! My go to drink is the seasonal longan pandan drink. Sadly it's not offered year round. However their other drinks are just as tasty. Some can agree the prices are a bit higher than your average Asian market prices for fruits and goods, but these are special imported/seasonal items. Come and grab yourself a sweet treat or a refreshing drink!

Even though the slush had a couple of candies on the top the drink wasn't packed with sugar, it was also topped with a ton of chopped strawberries *yum*! My mouth is watering thinkings about it it. The mango were great, even the firmest pieces were sweet, the only thing I needed was more tajin. I feel like if it's gonna be a topping, it needs to be on every piece of mango not just sprinkled like parsley on top. Can't wait to go back and try their other items, there's so much to choose from & it all looks great!

I love coming to this apothecary for pungent seasoning and spices. They sell everything in giant…read moremason jars, so you know what you're picking out. They even sell bulk items such as nuts, flour, nutritional yeast, dried fruit, natural detergent, oils, loose-leaf teas, etc. Some are made in-house, including vegan hot chocolate mix. I like getting my seasonings and spices here, opposed to the grocery store, because it is very fresh and hasn't been sitting out for years upon years on end. There aren't a lot of raw vegan restaurants down south of 45, but surprise, surprise, Natural Living has raw vegan onsite. I've only eaten there twice, and due to the limited hours throughout the week. I am only able to get down here on the weekends in the morning. I frequent Nokturne more as a vegan restaurant in CL, just due to the simple fact of the flexibility of hours. At Natural Living, I ordered the taco salad; it was vegan meat crumbles and veggies. There were more veggies than meat. A limited amount of dressing to lather the veggies, so it made the salad a bit dry, but tasty. I loved the peanut butter cookies on sale. They were my favorite. I love that they have a food fair program for organic fruits/vegetables from local gardeners. I'm not a big fan of organic anything as I feel that it is more of a marketing gimmick, but if others care about that, that's a perk. The program is very affordable. I've personally never tried it, but I always wanted to. The ambiance can be a bit off; the staff is sometimes nice, sometimes don't want to be bothered. The apothecary side of things system is just grab jars of what you want, and they weigh it, put it in baggies, and you pay for it. However, things can get complicated when there a multiple people on the apothecary side and there is nowhere to wait since the whole building is tight and small. Now the pricing; this establishment isn't the cheapest, but when you factor in the value of what you are purchasing with the quantity of goods, then you are getting a solid deal. They sell crystal jewelry, and parking is across the street. I always tell people I'm going to the apothecary, and when they Google it, they can't find it, so it is definitely a hidden gem. I would have given them 5 stars across the board, but with the very limited hours not good for the working class working between 8 am - 5 pm; they close at 6 pm, closed on Sundays and Mondays. I hate that, but I will continue to only come on Saturdays.

The membership gives you access to their weekly food shares of fruits and vegetables you may not otherwise have access to, and they offer herbal shares as well. Lisa, the owner, is sweet and welcoming. She's been helpful in getting me acclimated to how everything works. The more I go, the more I learn. She's an herbalist and offers consultations as well. And even though it can be busy during the food shares pickup hours, she always makes time to engage. The whole staff has been warm and welcoming and it's to no surprise. The atmosphere is serene. There's a sense of peace that comes over me when I walk in. Me and my husband enjoy sitting down for a bite to eat from the organic cafe. The food is amazing. It's all handcrafted, with high-quality organic ingredients. It's gluten free and made from scratch. If you can't stay and eat you can call in your order to-go. Also, with the membership you get discounts on bulk items and certain events. You can lend a hand and volunteer as well.
