Shop local, fresh, and support small business! Get out of the UV lit grocery stores and chat with some real farmers in the glorious sunshine. I don't know about you but I actually like knowing where my food comes from and shopping directly at the farm is the best way to assure this!
This unique find is at 5251 Hayvenhurst Avenue in Encino.
Filling up my basket with seasonal fruits and vegetables "seasonal!"...some of us in Cali don't really get this since food is shipped from all over to our huge supermarkets. Shopping seasonally actually cuts down the cost of transportation, reduces the toxins that these big semis produce and allows for a variety of cooking experiments all year long!
The staff at Tapia are passionate and knowledgeable about what they do. These people know their food and often interesting ways to prepare it! Stop in and ask them their secrets!

That is awesome Jessica, I love knowing where my food came from. We have lost sight of the importance of that and we just trust blindly in labels and brands! Well done and thanks for posting :-)
