I found their bottle stand at the Escondido Farmers market…read more What caught my eye was the large ice chest full of bottles of colorful Kombucha. When I looked over their offerings I was shocked to see "Feijoa", also known as Pineapple Guava. An acquired taste, this fruit was a true find if you ever grew up with a Feijoa tree close by. You just don't find this fruit in your local stores. The Kombucha was very good, not too much bite to it. it comes in a glass jar. Finding Edible Alchemy at the farmers market was a score and I look forward to buying their product again.

I stumbled upon Edible Alchemy this weekend at the Sourdough Festival in Highland Springs Ranch…read more I'm not new to fermentation; I actually make my own kimchi, sauerkraut, and kombucha. I must say, Edible Alchemy's sauerkrauts are the best I've ever had. When I got home to eat them with my dinner, the krauts were "alive." I was so happy to see them oozing - a sign of life! Thank you, Edible Alchemy.

We are addicted and will only use the Ohsawa Nama Shoyu, which is an organic and unpasteurized soy sauce from Japan. Our Whole Foods used to carry it and now they don't and I've looked at some of the local Asian markets but cannot find it so we order from Gold Mine. In all of the years I've been ordering, I have only had one misstep with an order. It was during COVID and I typically order the 32oz bottle which will last us for about 4-5 months. What came that time were two small bottles and I had a bit of a challenge getting in touch with them during that time. Once I was able to talk to someone, they were quick to rectify the situation and they shipped out the big bottle. The shipping is always great with the bottles being bubbled wrapped and then wrapped in thick shipping paper to secure the bottle and get it unbroken to the destination. It also has only taken about 4-5 days from order to arrival. Wanted to give Gold Mine an updated shout out!!! We are customers for life!

Kosher. Gluten-free. Vegan. Raw. Organic. Macrobiotic !!! A health nuts dream come true !! I LOVE…read morethis place ! ABOUT: From their website: "Gold Mine Natural Food Company is a family run, San Diego local small business. We sell high quality, organic, macrobiotic, vegan, gluten-free, raw, kosher and specialty Japanese products. In house we produce organic, raw, unpasteurized sauerkraut by hand in small batches. Gold Mine was founded with the intention of sharing the healing power of food." Most importantly, they have a great history on how they got started. It's a business that started in 1985 on a $300 loan ! You can find their products at most local health food stores nowadays like Jimbo's and Sprouts. They are known for their Ohsawa Organic Nama Shoyu and organic, raw sauerkraut ! Both of which I've had in the past ! Their other best sellers include: GF Kelp noodles, green pea chips, and mung bean chips Check out their website for online products, recipes, events, cooking classes/demos, etc.: http://shop.goldminenaturalfoods.com/ EVENT DETAILS: I was fortunate to go to an event here: Vegan Oktoberfest Benefit for Vegetarian Educational Institute (VEI). VEI is a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating people about the health benefits of a vegan/macrobiotic lifestyle. I'm all about supporting businesses that teach the public about better health and nutrition. Food is thy medicine and this place is all about that. KUDOS to them ! Located in the heart of Poway (not too far from home WOOHOO!) and they have a large manufacturing facility that distributes traditional macrobiotic foods and other organic products such as heirloom quality grains, beans, and seeds. They also host classes, event parties, and cooking demos here ! Parking was plentiful on a Saturday evening. Indoor/outdoor set-up. Everything was SPOOKtacularly decorated. The indoor space had a large seating area and a bar with stools. What can I say ? Awesome event ! They celebrated the launch of their new GOLDEN KRAUT !! I'm a sucker for kraut and I was krauted out after this night ! They offered all you can eat FREE BARBEQUE ! We enjoyed vegan frankfurters with Gold Mine Sauerkraut and Kimchi, cucumber salad, potato salad, Maya's Cookies (BOMB.com), and other goodies ! They also had unlimited Green Flash Beer for $10 ! Everything was DEEE-LICIOUS !!! The potato salad was addicting ! I couldn't get enough of it ! The sauerkraut and kimchi were plentiful and more than enough ! I was overwhelmed and as an Asian chick I'm a sucker for fermented foods. The cucumber salad was very refreshing and was a nice addition to the flavorful, vegan frankfurter that can even fool an omnivore. NOMNOMNOM !!! They also had great raffle prizes from Solti juice, Maya's cookies, shirts, gift sets from Gold Mine Natural Food Co., and vacation getaways !! Super generous of them ! I won a huge box of Maya's cookies ! WOOT !! I've never had these cookies before and after this event, I agree that they are the BEST VEGAN COOKIES in San Diego ! Hopefully, they can expand their products and have them available in most stores. They might have another event coming up next month and I'm already looking forward to it ! I think the theme is vegan tamales !!! Oh yeah ! So glad I discovered this place, because I am now a huge supporter of them !! Keep spreading the LOVE OF FOOD AND HEALING !!!

They have so many different flavors it's hard to choose. 3. The shop owner is very friendly and will answer any questions you have. 4. If you can't make to Old Town there are other locations that you can buy her products like in Oceanside at the Sunset Market. 5.

She was just as pleasant on the phone when I called.) Unfortunately, no ladies line of Hawaiian shirts. (I had encouraged people to wear Hawaiian shirts for my dad's memorial service but didn't have one myself.) Even though I couldn't find what I was looking for, I did buy some tasty snacks from Hawaii and received a lot of recommendations for other tasty snacks. Fun fact: I had been to this store before when it was in Pacific Beach and bought a lovely Hawaiian dress for a dress up day at work. Sadly, they don't carry as many clothes as they used to. (Hey mgmt, please reconsider that. I had a great experience then as well and would love more Hawaiian attire.)

The family here is so sweet and you can tell they have an established relationship with their long term-customers. Inside, it is a very small shop, but don't let the size fool you, there's plenty different types of herbal medicine, spices, and Asian oils/balms to get. They sell little simple Asian snacks as well that you don't normally see often at the markets. This place would be gold if my grandma found out about it! Every year my grandma loves to gift Tiger balms/patches to our relatives and this place sells plenty of that all. There are different teas you could try out along with herbs and spices you can buy to make delicate Asian soups and desserts. A must stop by if you're into herbal/asian/holistic care. Customer service was great, very friendly people! I really enjoyed making a visit here and will come back for when I need more Tiger balm / lotions, etc.
