I BELIEVE I HAVE AN IDEA OF THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND THIS QUAINT, HOMELY NEIGHBORHOOD GROCERY BY JUST BY BEING INSIDE THE STORE AND VIEWING THE PRODUCTS THEY SELL. I FEEL THEY ARE, WHILE NOT BEING EXCLUSIVELY ORGANIC, A STRONG ADVOCATE OF FRESH , ORGANIC SUTAINABLE PRODUCTS, A GREAT SUPPORTER OF LOCAL FARMERS, CHOCOLATEURS, BREAD MAKERS (PESCADERO NATIVE -ARCANGELI'S HALF COOK ARTICHOKE WHEAT SOURDOUGH -YUMMMMM) AND VENDORS, IN ADDITION TO THEIR VERY SELECTED GOURMET LINE OF IMPORTED PRODUCTS AND A GREAT SELECTION OF CHEESES. WINE, SANDWICHES, READY MADE FOOD, (FRESH ,RESPONSIBLY GROWN AND HARVESTED) FISH , MEAT AND POULTRY ...ETC ETC...
THE INSIDE IS SMALL BUT NOT CLAUSTROPHOBIC, RATHER A CHARMING PLACE, WITH VERY WELCOMING HOMEY FEELING TO GUESTS LIKE ME AND TO THEIR LOYAL CLIENTELE WHO ARE SOMETIMES QUITE INTERESTING AND COLORFUL, HIP AND YOUNG , AND WHAT'S THAT WORD THAT HAS GONE INSTINCT SOMEHOW ...OH "YUPPIE" BUT IN GENERAL, AND I CAN TELL, HEALTH CONSCIOUS CALIFORNIANS, WHO, I BELIEVE COMPROMISE THIS VERY DIVERSE NEIGHBORHOOD.
BI-RITE CREAMERY
OH BI-RITE HAS THEIR OWN CREAMERY (JUST ACROSS THE MARKET TOWARDS THE MISSION CHURCH ) WHERE SMALL BATCHES OF CLASSIC, BOLD AND DELICIOUS COMBINATION OF FLAVORED ICE CREAMS ARE MADE. OUR LAST STOP TO THIS GLORIOUS FOOD TRIP , MAYBE TO PURCHASE TOMORROW'S DESSERT OR TUCK AWAY IN THE FREEZER DURING EMERGENCY SUGAR CRAVINGS AS TARTINE AND DELFINA HAVE ALREADY JUST ABOUT SATISFIED ALL MY CRAVINGS FOR THAT SHOULD LAST A COUPLE OF MONTHS OR SO.
THIS TYPE OF MARKET IS A GROWING TREND AND I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THIS WILL BECOME A COMMONPLACE AND WILL RIDE BEYOND THE CURRENT TRENDY WAVE OF ORGANIC AND GREEN REVOLUTION, WHERE FRESH PRODUCE ARE GROWN A FEW AND OR AT LEAST WITHIN A HUNDRED OR SO MILES AWAY FROM WHERE YOU WILL BUY THEM AND THE GIANT SUPERMARKETS WILL BE BEATEN BY AN UNRELENTING DESIRE OF PEOPLE TO CONSUME CLEAN SUSTAINABLE AND NOURISHING FOOD SUPPLY OR SIMPLY PUT... GOING BACK TO BASICS.... SOMEDAY...YOU THINK?
SO THAT CONCLUDES THE 18 TH STREET TRIANGLE THAT CAN SUCK YOU INTO AN OBLIVION OF EARTH CONSCIOUS DELICIOUSNESS!!!
YOU SIMPLY HAVE TO VISIT .
