ORANGE COUNTY ORGANICS -
BSC, CA – A long time ago, in a
county far away, a group some might judge hippies, started a market
that sold nothing but natural [organic] food called Mother's. At the time it
seemed a novel California concept in a country caught up in
out-producing other countries with food grown by Big Ag. Flash
forward several decades and along comes my friend John Diaz, Prop 37 [to
label GMOs], and Orange County moms, Kathleen and Zen, discovering
organic food brought their children back from auto-immune distresses.
The ongoing mission statement of
Mother's also called for days to showcase various vendors and promote
their products so customers could try samples and get mfrs coupons
to save some green. As the store grew from one location to the
current number of seven the practice continued. Each location boasts
a Vendor Day independently and this past weekend I rolled up to the
Laguna Woods location for their 10-1PM event.
As always, and in keeping with Mother's
original credo, we were there to foster awareness and make friends.
Amazingly enough, the blustery cold and strong driving winds of late
ceased that day. But then, why wouldn't Mother Nature cooperate?
Everyone knows God couldn't be everywhere, so He made Mothers*. Make
the jump and see things from the BSC POV.
