Our Products
Produce
Our specialty for over 30 years now!! We are proud to carry a full line of local Organic and commercial produce. We specialize in unique varieties of stone fruit from small family farmers. Along with all of your favorite nutrient packed staples we also have the hard to find items! We carry local shell beans such as fava beans and cranberry beans as well as Italian and yellow wax beans. We also have local English peas and pickling cucumbers. Oh and don’t forget about those local tomatoes, corn, and watermelon just to name a few more. Love berries? We have the best selection around! We’ve got top notch ollalieberries and boysenberries that will blow you away!
All of our produce is purchased by one person, me! I taste and inspect all of the produce that we carry. If it doesn’t meet our high standards then we send it back. We offer all of our produce by the box at wholesale prices as well.
We carry tree ripe fruit that most stores don’t have and all of our employees are trained to gently handle our produce so it makes it home safe and sound to your table to enjoy.
We’re a great combination of a farmers market as well as a specialty gourmet market.

Specialty Cheeses
Our cheese department is stocked with over 300 amazing cheeses that we would love for you to taste! We search for cheeses made in all regions of the world– cheeses with the highest quality at the best price. As with the rest of the market, our goal is to educate, serve, and delight! We have plenty of sampling stations everyday because we believe that just reading our description signs are not enough to know if you really want to buy that cheese…It has to get in your mouth where you can feel it and taste it before you really have knowledge of the cheese. We search for the best cheeses made whether they are from a little local creamery that makes farmstead artisan cheeses or imported from a cheese-monger overseas that has the highest quality ingredients and strictest standards in the industry. We also love to move out the deals of a lifetime whenever we have the opportunity!
We have just about every type of cheese…If you can’t find what you want, let us order it for you!

Dried Fruits and Nuts
I really enjoy going out to the farmlands of California to visit the farmers who grow and process lots of our dried fruit and nuts…seeing their orchards packed with apricots or peaches, the stuff that’ll be sun-dried for us…Whoa! It really is exciting!!
I like to focus on the most unique stuff and the most spectacular quality…the Organic Dried Mango leads the parade…the big deal is that the Kent and Keitt varieties are actually picked fully mature, then sliced and dried slowly, which means lots of retained nutrients with the best flavor and sweetness…everyone loves ‘em, especially my wife!
You name it and chances are we’ve got it, just about every dried fruit and nut imaginable-somewhere around one-hundred and fifty varieties, from Heirloom Blenheim Apricots to Rainier, Sour and Bing Cherries to Jumbo Calimyrna Figs and Hachiya Persimmons…lots of these dried fruits are Sulfur Free, like most of our raisin varieties or our Jumbo Medjool Dates.
Raw nuts are a popular item these days with their high protein and health benefits. I buy everything from Almonds and Walnuts to Cashews, Filberts and Macadamias to Pecans, Pistachios, Pinenuts and raw specialty nuts like the Marcona Almond from Spain…and tons of the ever popular roasted and flavored nuts like our Tamari or Maui Onion Almonds or our Lemon-Chili or Honey Roasted Cashews.
Ever hear of Goji Berries? Well, we’ve got those, too! And how about Key Lime Praline Pecans? Well, we’ve got lots of other really cool Dried Fruit and Nuts, far too many to mention here!!
