Thank you Lorie! What is the most warmly elegant vegetable? Perhaps a baby aubergine. That is you.

A wonderful act! Love this. (In SF, Rainbow Grocery is Berkeley Bowl's equivalent! But I prefer the more farm stand vibe you're describing here.)

Yes you are right! I used to go to Rainbow too! In a beach town there is usually a more open front feeling — no big glass windows. It reminds me of the Date Farm place outside of Palm Springs too.

Really interesting as I can’t see them shopping there. But good for them for stepping up to the plate!

Oh I think the foundation is hugely invested in environmental causes and agriculture. The Indy’s story interviewed Wendy about how she personally reached out to the former owner to get the store stabilized. It’s beyond heartwarming. Chin chin!
