Real Mojo Foods
“Real Mojo Foods is a handcrafted food business that creates small batch pickles and sauces from simple and fresh ingredients. Our values include no preservatives, sourcing locally and partnering with smaller co packers so we can be involved every step of the way!”
P.O.P. Candy Co.
“Here we are, Bill Waiste and Rachel Flores. About 10+ years ago, we took a recipe we loved making for the holidays and fused it with our love of food, pop culture, community, and life in Santa Monica to bring you p.o.p. candy co. We love our customers and make p.o.p. with an uncompromising commitment to create exceptional flavor experiences that you just want to keep devouring!”
Reverent Coffee Company
“rev·er·ent: feeling or showing deep and solemn respect.
This is how we feel about the people who grow our coffee and the process involved in bringing the product from its point of origin to our doorstep—and from us to you. We believe in giving honor and respect to farmers, to the sacrifices they make in bringing us an outstanding cup of coffee. We believe in better than “fair” prices. We believe in respecting our planet.”
Baroness Olive Oil
“Baroness Olive Oil is a family owned farm in the heart of the Sierra Foothills in Newcastle, California, owned by Barbara and Don Hare. We take care of our 400 tree olive grove all by hand, that's a lot of love and hard work, but the taste is so worth it! We are very proud to be offering our customers products that are naturally grown and scientifically proven to benefit their health.”
Farm Fresh To You
“Whether you like to cook, wish you had time to cook or hate to cook, we’ve got a box type that will help you eat and be well! It’s like having a farmer as your personal produce shopper — and you still get the final say of what goes into each delivery.”
Carmazzi Caramel Corn
“Karen’s grandparents used to make the caramel corn as a holiday treat, and after a few years it became a family tradition. Though after her grandfather passed, Grandmother Marie wasn’t sure if she wanted to continue making the corn, so Karen asked if she could help her grandma carry on the recipe. Marie was thrilled! Marie mischievously responded yes, adding, “Let’s keep it a family secret”. And true to this day, the Carmazzi family has kept it a secret, so Grandma is somewhere laughing and proud.”
