NEW ON THE LOCAL SCENE: One of the best idea's we have heard in awhile - we are happy to report that Miho's Gastro Truck is in effect. Proprietors Juan Miron and Kevin Ho tell us " Our goal is to not only make local, seasonal, and sustainably-raised food more affordable and accessible, but also an essential part of everyday American life." They are currently planning their routes and would love to hear your feed backCheck them out on facebook and twitter. www.mihogastrotruck.com. Book a gig today.


TAKE A TRIP TO A LOCAL FARM  Yup! We have farms in San Diego. We took a visit over to Suzie's Farm in Imperial Beach ( yes Imperial Beach) for a lovely day of farm education and veggie picking. We left with heaving bags of veggies - and had so much fun. These tours happen once a month. Check out www.suziesfarm.com for more details.
