Aris Natural Foods - Yogurt and Tzatziki! - Farmers Market Near Me - Lennox, California

I would have given Five Stars but... Even tho I absolutely love the texture and taste of this yogurt, in the last few weeks 2 out of several jars (mango, then lemon) purchased from Bristol Farms have been clearly sour immediately upon opening. I brought the mango jar back to Bristol Farms thinking it was a one-off problem, but shortly thereafter a lemon jar had similarly gone bad. I tried to contact Aris to notify them, but their website, telephone and other contact info don't work. Sadly, I just can't be bothered to risk purchasing this brand any more. read more

Do NOT, I repeat do NOT order Aris yogurt/food online from their website! I placed an online order for greek yogurt and it arrived nearly 2 weeks later without refrigeration!?! I tried to track my order several times but the Aris Food phone number is out of service and they do not respond to emails. Literally worst customer service EVER. Kind of crazy really. Needless to say, I had to throw everything out once the warm, spoiled yogurt arrived. I disputed the charge through my credit card company and they refunded me (not Aris). Haven't had an awful customer service experience like this in a long time :( read more

Best tasting yogurt, ever! I've had all the flavors and love every one of them. No added sugar! This is a thick, kefir style yogurt. I wish they were in more stores. read more

I'm not sure where to start except to just start! I met this company at the Buena Park Farmers market in the Sears parking lot! I came across this individual that goes by Teddy when I walked up to try their hummus and after trying their hummus I had a chance to find out what real Greek spreads yogurts kefir and honestly every single item that I tried I loved! Then I got to their yogurt OMG ski lol! They're yogurt is a kefir yogurt told sheep milk regardless of what it is and where it's from it's the best tasting smoothest yogurt I've ever had and putting it on top of fish or chicken or other dishes, incredible!! There's tzatziki sauce, garlic spread , roasted tomato with feta all chopped up together they're jalapeno and feta various different yogurts that are incredible! Especially passion fruit, mango, lemon, coconut lychee, cookies and cream, chocolate, cherry, vanilla, raspberry, strawberry! I mean where does it end? Then the attitude on this guy was incredible. Frankly he's very personable and people ask the price he tells the price and he says hey buy a couple of them I'll give you a little better deal!! He was frankly just very easy going and was very witty with every single client! Knowing a lot of them by name gave me a good feeling to know that he's been doing this a while other people have tried their products and return. He just knows how to work his clients! Very impressed with him and now I understand they'll be opening up a restaurant very soon. I believe in Torrance area I don't remember the exact location. But it's on his sign when you go to the Farmers market! Good job Teddy thank you for taking care of me and helping me with my sauces and food source! Keep up the great work read more

their lemon, strawberry and raspberry yogurts were to die for. Cant wait for Friday to come to get some more. I found them at a farmers market in Whittier. read more

I buy them at Vicente Foods or Erewhon. The Farmers Market in BH has them but not always in the glass jars so the person in their booth told me to text him in advance and he would bring them. Trying to call them to ask for his number or if they can bring them this week in the jars but no answer, no message machine, and no way to reach them. I find the plastic tubs go sour in 2 days but the glass jars stay fresher longer. So frustrating since they are the best tasting yogurt out there!!! read more

It's perfectly made in heaven! It's too flawless, can't think of a word anymore. Came here today for the yogurt but never expected more than I can imagine. Aris has a booth in selected farmer's market and one of them is Crenshaw FM. I travelled this far to try everything Chef Tim can offer me. Chef Tim, I could hardly breathe now. He mixed and matched every item with cheeses, pita chips, olives, mediterrenean dips and spreads and sun-dried tomatoes, including Taramosalata, a white caviar dip. Now to the yogurt. GREEK FIG YOGURT made from sheep's milk, only 2% fat with no lactose. This became my number one yogurt. It's like ice cream, very thick, maybe triple-strained, drip-free.....awesome awesome awesome. Comparing to the market-famous Fage and Chobani greek yogurt, this does not have the after taste of pungency. Aris yogurt is very smooth, non-tarty, non-pungent and total goodness. They have wide selection of fruit yogurts and I tasted them all. Much thanks and gratefulness to Chef Tim for the great experience. He handed me bites and pieces of samples in between customers because he didn't want me to go..lol. I would pray that farm sheep animals will continue to produce milk. For the love of yogurt!! read more

As long as I'm in LA, this is my go-to spot for yogurt. I've lost count of the number of times I've purchased yogurt from this store, and my family loves it just as much as I do. The quality of the product is outstanding and the range of flavors is impressive. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, which makes for an even better shopping experience. I cahllange you to check this place out and you will not be disappointed. read more

Everything I try is wonderful. The white pumpkin yogurt is my favorite! I make it a habit to pick some up every week.

Found out this morning, at the Mar Vista Farmer's Market yogurt booth, that "ooops" the manufacturer's changed their yogurt formula (from sheep to COW) and the people in the local farmer's market booth DID NOT state directly that there had been a change. This local booth never put up a sign indicating anything, they just kept selling it as sheep KNOWING that it had been switched to COW. I feel that Aris Natural Food's labeling purposefully mislead their customers. This has created health issues for the members of our family that have cow dairy allergies/sensitivities as I am sure it is creating issues for other families who have similar concerns. I am just so pissed, and feel betrayed. Clearly the local sellers and the manufacturer have intentionally lied, misled, and cheated. It would have taken 2 minutes to create and post a sign on their stand. They did not make their labeling clear. They choose not to. read more

My 1 star review is not a reflection of the quality of the products. For the most part I like them. But I had a dreadful experience with the very rude son of the owner at the Mar Vista farmers market today. I also buy hummus and pita bread from a very nice Tunisian man who also works for them named Mohammed. He is always late to the Baldwin Hills market on Saturdays because he can't get the products in time. The son insisted that no one works for the company named Mohammed. He was adamant about it even though he was wrong. He insisted that the business is open and the products are available. He suggested that Mohammed was lying even though Mohammed showed me his phone with the calls and texts. He finally asked if Mohammed is skinny, which he is. I will not patronize a business where the owner's son is so rude and I will not be talked to the way he talked to me today. I will never patronize Aris foods despite buying their products virtually weekly for many months. I am done with them permanently. read more

This was our family's favorite yogurt and I bought a lot of it at Lazy Acres in Santa Barbara. In March and April 2015 the packaging changed and now they are a leaky mess. They leak sticky fermented yogurt all over your fridge. I dumped $40 worth of yogurt last week that was separated, leaking and bubbly (fermented). It was brand new, not expired. This has happened several times since the new packaging. Today I took pics at the store of the yogurt leaking all over the shelves. Most tubs were sitting in sticky messes. The store employee said they know about it. So why are they still putting the unsealed containers on the shelves??? Caution buying this product. The raspberry, blackberry, and strawberry seem to be the worst leakers. read more

AMAZING! Aris "Kefir Cheese" Yogurt is he best thing I've ever tasted. The Apricot and Fig flavors are to die for...better than ice cream. Since my wife discovered it a few months ago...Gelsons' Market is constantly sold out! I know why too...whenever its in stock I buy them out...and apparently everyone else does too! My only complaint is with the cheap plastic wrap covering that always tears into pieces when you try to remove it. C'mon Aris...for 6 bucks a yogurt, spend 2 cents on the packaging! Bright side...you get to lick it off your fingers! Yum! read more

I haven't been to their stand at any farmer's markets BUT I was introduced to their Greek yogurt. It is the BEST. I'm so obsessed with it. They sell them at Bristol Farms (if they're still on the shelves and not sold out already for the week). So far, I've tried the raspberry and pumpkin flavors. In my fridge are fig and apricot waiting for me to dig in! The yogurt is made from double-strained sheepmilk. I don't know I've ever had sheepmilk before in many food items except for certain cheeses like manchego but there is nothing funny-tasting about the yogurt given this less familiar ingredient. It is SO creamy. Only 80 calories per 4 oz. Each container is 8 oz. The raspberry flavor has 9g of sugar while the fig and pumpkin look like they have 11g per serving. The flavor mix-ins are fresh... not the jammy stuff you often find. The yogurt reminds me of ice cream... rich, melty ice cream with that tangy yogurt taste. The only thing that bites about the yogurt is the price. At Bristol Farms, they're $6.49 per 8 oz. container. So will I be picking up organic broccoli, spinach and kale on my shopping trip... or just a container of yogurt? My tummy, taste buds and indulgent self says THE YOGURT! read more

Oh my goodness! My husband and i were recommended by my coworker Susan to try the dips and yogurts by Chef Tim of Aris Natural Foods, and yes we went to FM crenshaw and he made us try a lot of his combo dips.. They were all very addictive.. The flavor was just so rich and Not boring... We wanted to eat everything we bought all At once when we arrived home but I thought, Saturday Wont come any time soon... I loved the combo of sun dried tomatoes, pesto, garlic, goat's cheese combo dip with pita chips... They werent bland nor dull... As for chef tim, i like the way he introduces his food. he wasnt stingy on giving us samples and that was a great plus and even at some point i was worried that we might finish up all his sample tumblers hehehhehe As for the yogurt-omg! Not tarty at all and it has chunks of fruit! They were all deliciosoooo!!! Furthermore, well, i cant really say i have a certain fave because whatever dip he gave us tasted really really good that it blew our minds.. And to top all that, it is organic and u just eat 70+ calories... I dont really give reviews, I guess this is my first ever... So trust me guys... Visit Aris and meet Chef Tim... They have the best dips... Cheers! read more

I feel so deceived! I've been buying this yogurt because I have a milk allergy. Now I find out that they've been using cows milk when they told me in the beginning it was a sheep milk product. I wondered why I was getting so congested, and putting on weight. The difference between a cow and a sheep product is a cow gain 650 pounds in the first six months of life, and they have two stomachs to digest that milk. Sheep or goat produces milk that's very similar to our mothers milk, therefore we can digest it similarly. This company should be shut down for deception. I'd like a personal apology and I think everyone else deserves one too. read more

The tragedy here is that there is such a thing as a double cream yogurt, it's especially amazing in Scandinavia, where it's common and often just called high fat yogurt. It's given to children a lot. There's nothing like it here in the US, and Aris yogurt probably came the closest. If only they hadn't lied about it and just told people they're selling double cream yogurt, people could appreciate it as a special treat thing like ice cream. But they lied. So they're sleazy and it calls into question absolutely everything else about everything they sell. Who wants to eat food from shady people? Not me. If it wasn't so tragic, it would be funny. Which is why it's actually a plot line of a Seinfeld episode called "The Non Fat Yogurt" where everyone ate it and loved it and then gained weight, found out it was high fat and then the "reformulation" to a lower fat version tasted horrible and eventually the business shut down. These guys might have gotten the whole idea from that Seinfeld episode, so we're at the point in the narrative where they're trying to reformulate but it tastes bad. If they stick to the plot they'll be out of business soon. The End. Hopefully a company with integrity will come along and make an honest double cream yogurt that we can enjoy knowing exactly what it is we're eating. In the meantime, there's a great book out called Real Food, Fake Food: Why You Don't Know What You're Eating & What You Can Do About It. I happened to be in the middle of reading it when I stumbled into the Aris fiasco. read more

I've been eating Georges amazing yogurts, jalapeno feta, and all his other yummy things for so long that when the Pandemic hit, I was his stuff I knew I couldn't do without. Thankfully, the Hollywood Farmer's Market is open and Isis and the guys are there again! George is lounging on the beach in Greece, and he deserves the rest! Thank you Aris Natural Food for making each meal a party in mouth! read more

This is my favorite stop at the farmer's market, hands-down! The yogurt is AMAZING, and Achileas is so generous with the samples. I find a new favorite every time--Fig, Bergamot, coconut, rose petal... So many wonderful and unique flavors! We also love to pick up tzatziki and pita bread. I haven't found anything there that I don't like. My family always has a wonderful time visiting Ari's stand. read more

Decided to stop at a farmers market in San Pedro. We came across the Aris Natural stand and were greeted by Timothy. Great guy. Seemed to totally know the product. We had a few samples and each one was completely delicious. Best Greek yogurt ever. Fig! From what Timothy explained, the yogurt was made from sheep milk. Unlike many of the yogurts in America which are made from cow milk. I can't emphasis enough how delicious it was. Equally as good was the jalapeño feta, basil pesto, sun dried tomatoes and garlic spread. Everything we tried tasted very natural and very fresh. Apparently, Aris Natural is available at a few locations such as Bristol Farms and Whole Foods. I love good quality products and Aris Natural is one of them! I'm sold and a big high five to Timothy as well. read more

I used to love their sheep's milk yogurt and I have been a customer since 2014 but the recent changes to cow's milk without proper notice was very alarming when I found out. That's kind of a big deal to people when you promote that sheep's milk is lactose free. Beyond feeling tricked, I have also noticed they have compromised the integrity of their fruit for the yogurt. I had bought a sour cherry flavor and it used to have dark, real cherries and now it's bright pink like they are maraschino cherries from a jar. Stop cutting corners Aris, you're losing loyal customers. read more

I love their yogurt but noticed the new labeling showed regular milk not sheep milk. When I inquired at the Farmers Market I was told it is still sheep milk. Then why doesn't the label indicate sheep milk, I asked. He didn't know but was going to provide me label which he never has. I was also wondering why they don't indicate if they have live active bacteria in their yogurt. I am so disappointed because I loved their yogurt. read more

Update: I bought the fig flavor on impulse the other day and it was wonderful! Same delicious flavor it used to have. Hooray! Oh no, either the formula or the supplier has changed, but either way the beautiful flavor is gone! Please bring back the old recipe, the new one doesn't taste good! read more

Bring your yogurt to San Francisco! I recently moved from LA to SF and need this yogurt back in my life. :( It is so good. The texture is the best yogurt texture I have ever tasted. All the flavors are really good, but the Chocolate, Strawberry, Guava, Fig are my favorite! If anyone knows of a store in the Bay Area that carries this please let me know! I've been keeping an eye out and yet haven't found anything :) read more

The products AND the people are amazing. My family and friends (about 20 households) love and depend on these products. How do we purchase during coronavirus times? I can't find all the yogurt flavors at Gelson's and you guys know Zoe, she needs her raspberry :) Also, I'm dying for some chopped sundrieds and feta! read more

I have been buying Aris Natural Foods at Farmers' Markets and Bristol Farms for years. I was recently informed that the company takes advantage of their employees by not paying them their hourly wages and commissions. I have also been informed that they neglected their guard dog that was suffering and ultimately needed to be euthanized. I no longer wish to support this company and I hope they make some changes soon. read more

Whitney Houston's "Will Always Love You" sang in my ears as I delighted in my first bite of what would be the BEST yogurt I've ever had. I'm a serious yogurt/general dairy products snob, and so when I eavesdropped onto a breathless conversation of someone at the kitchen at work just raving about this stuff as if they were being paid to do it, I was intrigued and knew I had to try some (found at my local Bristol Farms). The flavor - a hint of sweet Meyer lemon without overpowering. The consistency - just impossibly pillowy, thick and creamy, like a creamy cheesecake filling. I immediately began brainstorming all of the infinite healthy dessert possibilities. Chill and serve on a walnut-date crust with a strawberry topping? Yes, please. But for now, I felt like I was having a serious indulgence at 9am. As a health nerd, it's almost too good to be true. How on earth is there this amount of richness and sweetness in so few calories/fat and no added sugar whatsoever? I was totally satisfied with less than 100 cals of this stuff. HOW!?!!? Especially with a typically bitter thing as a lemon? I just don't understand. It doesn't matter, because take my money, Aris! Take all of it! I don't care that I'm paying like $3 a serving. It is 100% worth it. I'm not even kidding. read more

Want to know what crack is like? It costs $6 per tub, is smooth and thick like mascarpone cheese frosting, deliciously tart, refreshingly creamy and sold at Bristol Farms everywhere. It's called Aris Greek Yogurt. It's made from sheep's milk and it's double strained. If you see this product, I recommend the highest of self-discipline before you consider purchasing this incredibly dangerous and life-altering substance. I am a victim of Aris Greek Yogurt. When my bankruptcy claim is filed, it will simply state: I couldn't stop eating the yogurt. I moved from Los Angeles to New York City and I am missing this ambrosia of dairy while simultaneously giddy like an escaped victim because I am finally free from the addictive tyranny of this love/hate relationship. When I return to Los Angeles, I hope it is still waiting for me. read more

I came across this stand when I was at the Wednesday Farmer's market at the Marina in Long Beach, and boy am I HAPPY I did. Chef Tim was SO generous and enthusiastic about all of his creations, he gave me TONS of samples and I have to say that I liked EVERY single one of them. The Sheep Greek Yogurt: This caught my attention because Chef Tim explained that it's BETTER for you than Cow Dairy products, especially people who are allergic or lactose. My BF can't handle cow products and so I snatched him up some Sheep Greek from Chef Tim and he loved it and his tummy didn't suffer ONE bit. The flavors are OUT OF THIS WORLD. They taste so rich and creamy, I honestly could use them as cream cheese and I would NOT know the difference. He does not add sugar, rather uses emulsified fruit to flavor them. FIg is his top seller and it's well worth it's rep. My other favorites are apricot, strawberry, and pumpkin (yes! it's BOMB and tastes more like vanilla with a hint of something else) The apricot garlic spread is AMAZE. I use it to add flavor to veggies and fish. Chef Tim will even give you ideas on how to make his stuff into dressings and how to cook with them. He's AWESOME! Sundried tomatos -- SO sweet and delicious. I HAD to buy. I sampled the feta cheese, cream cheese, pesto and the feta jalapeno. ALL were out of this world and I highly recommend you try his products, they are one of a kind and taste like HEAVEN! They are on the pricer side. Greek yogurt for $6 a pop is KIND of a stretch for us, but to sacrifice digestive distress, $6 may be a small price to pay. read more

2 days ago we Bought a fig, guava, raspberry and a rose petal 1 of each. Date on containers was 4/20 and all but 1 tasted fermented and were kinda nasty. The guava, however, tasted very good and it's why I'm giving this 3 stars instead of 1. $5.99 down the drain times 3 YOGURTS! Very disappointed After further inspection of the containers I noticed how easily the lid comes off and how there is no safety seal under the lids of these containers. Idk if that would make a difference as this could have been a production issue not a design flaw. Regardless, this failure frustrates me because I have to spend more than $24 to hedge my bets on getting 1 good product. Futhermore, with store's polocies not allowing returns at this time because of the understandable health issues associated during this pandemic, I am unwilling to recommend this product to anyone if they are buying it from anywhere other than the source and can check it right in front of an employee. We bought these 4 at Bristol Farms, a high end grocery store in Palm Desert CA and I just finished the guava one.....gee I wish I had another it was delicious. For the record, I'm a real foodie and a professional cook and enjoy making treats like this kind of food a staple in my diet. Regrettably, this product doesn't carry my trust, at the price of $5.99/8oz and maybe its gonna be edible, due to a failure in product handling somewhere in the chain from farm to table. read more

If this yoghurt ever goes away, I will be devastated. No, I am not kidding. My friend, Justin, brought me some beautiful strawberries and suggested I might like to dip them in some Aris apricot yoghurt. I immediately poo pooed the idea because, as we all know, strawberries need no embellishment; they are perfection. I was mistaken. Apparently perfection CAN be improved upon. The Aris apricot yoghurt is fantastic! But it's not even the best flavor. Pumpkin! Fig! Insanely delicious. Thank you, Lazy Acres, for stocking this amazing and local product for those of us who can't make it to the various farmers markets. Thank you, Aris Natural Foods, for tantalizing my taste buds. Please, please, never stop making this! read more

YUUUUMMMMY SHEEP'S MILK YOGURT!! TRY EVERY SAMPLE YOU CAN GET!! =D Confession - I hate gamey meat, sheep, lamb, goat ... pass on through, please. However, I was incredibly surprised by Aris Natural Foods. Confession #2 - I hardly write reviews for vendors at farmer's markets, but this one is worth a mention. I first saw them @ Mar Vista Farmer's Market -- medium booth next to the "food court" area. Would've thought nothing of it, if it were not for the ridiculous amount of people wanting samples. And.. the reason is their yogurt (sorry, hummus hehehe). First, their base plain yogurt is incredibly creamy, dense, but not tart like greek yogurt. There's not even a hint of funky flavor ... just great texture. @ Mar Vista ... we sampled so many times, I thought we'd get kicked out. We wanted their Pumpkin .. but they already ran out at 10AM! We opted for their strawberry and made a picnic out of it (along with others). @Hollywood ... I saw them again, this timed tucked on the corners of Hollywood Farmer's Market. Rushed to see them ... no pumpkin!! =( But, I ended up getting their cranberry + vanilla (greek double strained) ones. It truly is delicious when you mix them together. An 8oz cost $6 ... not at all cheap, but given that I don't see myself straining my own sheep milk and culturing it... it definitely is a nice "once in awhile" treat!! =) ** They have cheeses, hummus, tapenade, gyros, chips .... but everyone's here for their yogurt, it is amazeballs! ** read more

WOW! It has been a long while before something has wowed me. It's been 1 day and I can't get their greek yogurt out of my mind! I had a half marathon in LA county and stayed in La Canada. We went to the Montrose farmer's market and stumbled upon some free samples at the Aris Natural Foods stand. Not only were they super helpful and friendly, but their greek yogurt took my breath away. The cost per small tub was $8.. but I assume they marked it up because we were in a bougie area. I'm not even mad!!!! It was so worth it. That's when you know you have a great product. Ended up buying just 1 tub of the fig yogurt, although all of them (raspberry, plain, pumpkin, apricot) were delicious! Let me tell you 1 was not enough, I finished it 1 hour into my drive back to the bay area.. and was so deep regret I did not buy more. Everyone is right, this is the BEST yogurt ever. Made out of 2% sheep's milk with no sugar added, it's creamy, delicious, addicting, and everything in between. So lucky I am within the state because they will SHIP to me. YES. I am still in awe how delicious that yogurt was. It is worth an adventure to find folks! I mean you are paying $8 for a small bit of yogurt and you just want more. read more

Aris Natural Foods - Awesome!! - Farmers Market Near Me - Lennox, California

I go to the Farmers Market in Playa Vista, Los Angeles and I love the Greek Yogurts! The man selling the product is super friendly and generous with samples. At first, the colors of the yogurt options threw me off and appeared unappetizing but thanks to the gentleman's persistence in giving out samples, I quickly became a fan. The fruit flavors are light and fresh, and SO tasty. Do yourself a favor and try it! read more

I had stopped eating yogurt due to lactose issues until I recently discovered Aris yogurts. They are completely lactose free and made of sheeps milk- and so rich and creamy!! It truly taste indulgent to eat it, like a dessert!! My favorite flavors are fig and plum. I try to make one 8 oz. carton last a couple days but it is usually gone in 1 day. If you are even the slightest bit a yogurt fan I highly recommend you give these yogurts a try. I find them in farmers markets around LA or my local Bristol Farms in Westchester. read more
