Growers Direct {27}

October 30, 2012 - Leave a Comment

Growers Direct {27}
Pumpkin Picking!
Day {27}. Whew. 
Are You Still With Me?
I am not even sure I am still with me.

With the end of October upon us, Halloween Tomorrow {Hello Two Year Old Miss Minnie!}, November Ringing Ahead, and Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years around the corner, I know today’s favorite would bring you Joy and Maybe some Health to the Holiday Season Ahead. 
With 5 more OC Favorites to bring you before this series is up, I am working hard to bring you the best of the best this beautiful land has to offer. 
It’s not tough to find you so many favorites, but finding time each day to write has been somewhat of a wee bit of a challenge. 
Yet, I am here, alive and so excited to bring you today’s OC FAV.
A favorite for the best value, best tasting, sweetest fruit and delicious vegetables, I bring you…
Dah, Dah, Dah!…
Growers Direct.
Located in Aliso Viejo, in the shopping center across from the movie theaters, and next door to Trader Joes {double bonus!} sits the greatness that is Growers Direct. 

With fruit and veggies galore, I don’t know who is more excited to roll the cart on in!
Starting in the front of the store is usually the strawberries {yummy!} and the “board” of all the best priced and in season special items of the week. 
Samantha loves to stop here to eat a berry {bless them for never minding} and I love to stop and read the items their featuring as favorite picks that week. 

We then head down the aisles, and stock the cart up with so much. 
Apples, Tomatoes, Cilantro, Parsley, Asparagus, Broccoli, Green Onions, Garlic, Sun Dried Tomatoes, Romaine Lettuce, Lemons, Avocado’s, Banana’s, Raspberries, Blueberries, Sweet Potatoes, Eggs…
The list is endless. 
I never feel bad loading the cart with all this good stuff for Samantha. 
I get giddy with all the fruit & veggies she is adding to her diet. 
And at these prices, you won’t break the bank!
I always ask what is in season, getting the best tasting and best priced items. 
Every other week varies {I don’t make it there every week….but I wish I did}, and I always love trying some new fruit or veggie. 

Samantha was OBSESSED with picking pumpkins and gourds for our front porch this week. 
I let her personally pick each one.
I really do have my own personal shopper. 
AND she is free!
๐Ÿ™‚
Orange Coast Just voted Grower’s Direct Best Fresh Produce Store, and I couldn’t agree more!
Making a visit to GD is fun for the whole family.
{Hubby sometimes even makes a cameo.}
And your belly’s and budget will be berry-happy!
