We have been here for a little under one year and still haven't been able to explore very much because of our vigorous schedules with school and work. Luckily, I heard about a fabulous find called Larry's Produce. We live near Suisun Valley, in the delta between Sacramento and San Francisco which lends itself to incredible food at insanely low prices. Today we decided to check out Larry's and we LOVED it. It reminds me of Lombardi's but it does all in season fruits and vegetables all year long as well as pumpkins and Christmas trees during the holidays. All of the fruit and vegetables are incredible and I love how Larry's is a large contributor of the SLO (sustainable, local, organic) movement.
The final tally or our trip is:
12 ears of corn, one head of broccoli, 2 red/2 yellow/ 2 green peppers, 1 head cellery, 1 lb grapes, 1 English cucumber, 2 lb carrots, 1 lb red potatoes, 6 yellow onions, 1 ginger root, 1 large red onion, 1 large white onion, 8 shallots, 1 head cilantro, 2 heads flat leaf italian parsley, 2 lg head romaine lettuce, 6 baskets ( half flat) strawberries, 1 bunch green onions, 2 cantaloupes, 4 roma tomatoes, 4 white peaches and 4 lemons for... $28.50!!!!!
I will never shop at the grocery store for produce as long as we live here EVER AGAIN!
