Had a wonderful visit at GoneStraw Farms! I came for the farm-fresh eggs and ended up leaving with…read moreso much more -- local honey, local cheese, two loaves of sourdough bread, and a bar of tallow soap. Everything was excellent quality, but the soap stood out. You can immediately tell how well clarified it is, it's noticeably whiter than other tallow soaps I've used. My skin felt clean with no residue or greasiness at all, which is hard to find. It feels great supporting a local business that clearly puts so much care into their products!

I expected a little more, like maybe a an "exit through the gift shop" kind of place. Thankfully…read moreit's the opposite. No frills, just a small area on the side of the road. Lots of fresh eggs, and we picked up fresh sourdough bread, quail eggs, we skipped the duck eggs (over my objection), and Mrs. Yelper got some kind of oil you put on your hands and moon over it like it's something special. Guess I should have told her eating duck eggs would make her eyebrows grow in darker and straight. I used the eggs in homemade pasta and ravioli for thanksgiving. Grocery store eggs have become a little lame. The yolks are pale and tasteless. Eggs form GoneStraw are BETTER.

They are mindful in their farming practices, ethical in their animal treatment, and you can taste the love. I was vegetarian for most of my life, mostly because felt guilty eating animals. When my health began to become effected by my lack of animal proteins, I slowly began to introduce meats. I bought from Whole Foods, it was "pasture raised," it was pretty tasty, but I had a hard time digesting it. A few years later I started buying my meats from a farm in Nor Cal and having it shipped. I didn't like that everything was frozen but I knew it was better than the grocery-bought stuff. Once I switched to Da-Le, was when I REALLY understood how important the methods of animal care are. The farm I purchased from prior, had no intel on feeding or culling methods, and when asked how they tended their animals, their response was, "we do what we want and they do what they want, we don't really tend them." I like the idea of free-range animals, but the vendor then went on to explain that they travel for great lengths of time and lots of people come and help out. It felt disconnected to me, like it was all for profit not out of love for the methodology of farming and providing the community with great food. Anyway, this is not about the "other guys," this is about Da-Le. I have built a beautiful relationship with Ashlie and her Laguna Beach Farmers Market crew, they always make great recommendations, and are truly engaging when you come to their booth. I don't feel rushed, I feel cared about! 3 years later, I am writing blogs for Da-Le, something that brings me the deepest joy, because I am so passionate about sustainability and wellness. My digestion of meats has greatly improved, and I personally feel it is because the animals live low-stress lives and eat quality food. I feel good about my consumption of meat when I support operations like Da-Le, and my body does too!

Good Box Organics is not only convenient, with the food being delivered right to my door, but is entirely healthy as well. The owners Samantha and Mark started this business in 2010 and have a mission of creating a healthier future. The best part is they work with local farmers to get all their produce and find multiple ways to give back to the community. They also have their Support a School program where they donate 5% back from every box sold. They have different boxes to choose from and different sizes as well. Some boxes are fruits only and others include fruits and vegetables. I went with the half size fruit and vegetable box. Before delivery, you get an email of what is going to be inside the box and the best part for me is, it includes recipes of what you can make with the items in your box. My box included an avocado, pears, apples, oranges, broccoli, cilantro, pink chard, and lettuce. One of the recipes included Baked Broccoli Parmesan Fritters which I am definitely going to try out because I always need new ideas for meals with having two small children. The delivery fee for their boxes is $6.95 or you can pick up the boxes for free at many of their local pickup locations. The service area covers the greater Los Angeles Area , San Fernando Valley, Pasadena, and Conejo Valley so definitely something for everyone!
