This Location is At the LA JOLLA FARMER'S MARKET (Sunday 9am-1pm Only)…read more The stand has a couple of people manning it. They offer a ton of free samples. There are numerous types and ages of cheese. After tasting at least 8 of them, I ended up purchasing the 3 year aged white cheddar. An amazing cheese to say the least. Yes, it would be a great cheese with wine. I found myself eating the cheese alone and enjoying every bite of it. The people at the stand have no problem in dishing out samples. They encourage it. The taste of the cheese sells the product. If in San Diego, I would highly suggest coming here for your sampling. Spring Hill Cheese is part of the Petaluma Creamery. They have been around for a hundred years and have numerous awards. Petaluma, in case you didn't know, is near Napa. The farm itself serves out some pretty good ice cream. I have not been able to find that at any farmers market. They do have some on their website. www.springhillcheese.com Overall, the cheese is fantastic and you get some real knowledge behind the products and how best to serve and eat them from the staff manning the stand at the La Jolla Open Air Market. I am a fan of that particular stand .

I just happened to see a post on Facebook about a warehouse sale for Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese…read moreCo. and marked it down in my calendar to attend. It was at their warehouse on Payran Street in Petaluma from 12:30pm to 6:00pm on 03/14/2025. I got there about 5:40pm and was surprised at the prices. I mean Toma that normally is $22/lb was $6/lb for precut wedges, and packages of Soppressata Salami for $3 instead of $8! You can't beat that with a stick!! Their cheese selection was large and very reasonably priced! The salami, well you could buy it by the package or the case with an additional 10% discount off the case. And the nice thing was they took credit & debit cards. Usually Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Co., is found in specialty places as well as the farmers market and this was their first warehouse sale event. The people working it told me with it being a cold, gloomy day that had a little drizzle, they didn't expect many people but apparently they had lines of people all day long! Hopefully, they will continue to do their warehouse sales as the prices are phenomenal, their cheese are excellent and it's always nice to buy and support local businesses!! My fingers are crossed that they'll announce some more warehouse sales!

I walked into Nob Hill Foods earlier to do a little grocery shopping. I had my list to get what I…read moreneeded. However, there was a vendor from Sonoma Gourmet who asked me if I would like to sample their EVOO in four different flavors - sassy roasted chiles, groovy orange, smooth basil parmesan and primo garlic and herbs. I tried all four EVOO's with chunks of French bread. All EVOO's were excellent and each had its own distinct flavor. The vendor also gave me three one dollar coupons. The decision to select which EVOO to purchase first was not an easy one because I like them all. I could not purchase all four flavors, and then have a heavy load of groceries to carry home via a bus ride. Because my mind was on some roasted red potatoes and other roasted veggies, the garlic and herbs EVOO was what I purchased. I was so excited about this purchase that I completely forgot to use the coupon. The EVOO's are in dark bottles to maintain its freshness, and best thing of all they are non-GMO verified. Nob Hill Foods will be selling this product soon. I'm glad the vendor stopped me in my track to sample their ware. After reading another yelpers review, I found out Sonoma Gourmet also sell pasta sauce. Okay, I will have to do a Google search on the pasta sauce.

I will definitely try the other Sauce versions and highly recommend to my friends.

Currently were are under a shelter in place so going to the store is a trip that I do not want to make but luckily Laura Chenel has teamed up with other local creameries at northbaycreameries.com to ship their cheese directly to you! Bonus if you are in California you get free shipping for orders over $50! I had no problem spending that between the 3 creameries and now my fridge is stocked full of delicious dairy goodies without ever leaving the comfort of my home. I went with a large goat cheese log, a short black truffle log, a brie wheel and probiotic goat yogurt.

These people were selling three different kinds of garlic, for example, when I stopped by. I brought home a small head of rose-colored garlic and appreciated my purchase as soon as I started making pesto. Here is a partial list of what Moon Fox Farm produces (taken from their CSA box web page): Arugula, Mizuna, Spinach, Chard, Beets, Sorrel, Mache, Little Gems, Lolla Rossa, (and other Heirloom baby lettuce), Broccoli, Cabbage, Leeks, Onions, Scallions, Chives, Thyme, Sage, Rosemary, Shiso, Papalo, Epazote, Parsley, Fennel, Lemongrass, Dill, Horseradish, Snap Peas, Shelling Peas, Fava Beans, Lima Beans, Okra, Carrots, Celery Root, Parsnips, Potatoes, Radishes, Turnips, Escarole, Chicories, Cauliflower, Kale, Collards, Hon tsai Tai, Bok Choy, Artichokes, Sunchokes, Beans, Dry Beans, Corn, Cornmeal/Polenta, Tomatoes, Peppers, Dried Chiles, Cucumbers, Summer Squash, Winter Squash, Strawberries, Melons, Walnuts, Prickly Pears, and Mushrooms. The farmer behind the farm is Annie Izaki, who "started Moon Fox Farm in hopes of getting people excited about roots, leaves, flowers, and fruit and to build on the connection between human, animal, plant, earth, water, and sky." This sounds pretty good to me; I intend to stop by their booth each week at the market.

We're so glad to have found Moon Fox Farm! Every two weeks, we get a substantial box of really fresh (there is dirt involved!) seasonal and delicious vegetables and herbs. We've especially loved the lettuces, eggplants, beets, cilantro, basil, tomatoes, garlic, and potatoes. We've tried and liked lots of new stuff like hon tsai tai and Jimmy Nardello peppers. The owner, Annie, is easy to work with and keeps us in the loop.

Since I've gone to a non-dairy diet, it's been a challenge to find reasonable substitutions for…read morecheeses, butter, and other milk products which are plant based. Miyoko's Kitchen has many unique options, including the very different approach to melting cheese - the pourable liquid mozzarella in a bottle. What they discovered is that when they had to add starches / fillers to get grated "cheese" to hold up, it didn't melt well. So they decided to just keep the liquid, lose the starch, and see what happens when it's spread thinly and broiled. Success! It works on pizza, and even grilled cheese. Takes a bit of time to get used to how much to use, how thinly to spread it, and how long to broil, but the resulting melted cheesy effect is great. Haven't tried making my own mac & "cheese" with it, but I'm going to give it a try. It should be great when making French onion soup, and topping with a baguette slice, drizzling the liquid cheese on top and broiling it to get the slightly browned melted effect. Their plant-based butter is pretty darn close in flavor to the real thing, so I don't feel deprived on that score. It is pricey, so I keep an eye out when I'm at stores like Sprouts to see if they ever have a sale on their items. I want to try some of the more exotic wheels with flavors like Black Ash, Smoked Gouda, Herbes de Provence, or European Truffle. Hmm, maybe I'll get some and take it to a BBQ party we're attending for the 4th! With some gourmet crackers. . .yum!
