The metal door says Members Only. Upon entering, you must sign a discharge of liability. Yet this little Venice "club" is merely a place where you can buy produce, raw milk dairy products and all kinds of foods, some of which are pretty crazy - like the Kombucha featuring "symbiotic fungus"; I'll pass, but my dear friend Stacie swears by it. The dairy products, made with raw milk à la Europe, come from an Amish community, know for its commitment to all-natural methods and ingredients; the Amish also produce an apple cider I'm eager to try.They have their own oil press on the premises and just bought a mysterious machine they mention with awe, that should allow them to make such products as almond butter...

ooohhh, i think i see a persimmon but i'm not sure. :)
VIVA LA FASHION - yes, it's Fuyu persimmons - they're in season!
I'd love to go and explore .. will you take me?
My husband is addicted to Kombucha!
LAURA - of course, I'd love to go with you!
MEL - really? I haven't tried it yet... The "fungus" part kind of turns me off.
Omgosh... I didn't know that persimmons were back! They're one of my most favorite fruits!
wow, you present us again, with special, colourful and delicious looking photos :-)
These products must taste really good, I am usually a big fan of organic, but the fungus part sounds a bit less good..
have a good weekend!
Oh- I want to go. I love places like this. Wish I had known about this when my son lived in LA.
Woaaaaaaaaaaah! Real food, not that processed crap! You gotta love the Amish! Dear Oracle, what is the difference between Amish and Quakers?
And there are Amish communities in California? Are they stylish?
Sounds like a store I'd like to poke around in!
Oooo, wow. Looks like such a great place.
The foods sound like they'd be so fresh.
TAOCITO - there are no Amish in CA; not their style, obviously. They are mainly found in places like Pennsylvania, more austere, no?
I find the Amish very stylish indeed...
The Quakers and the Amish are quite different. They're both religious groups known for a certain severity, but the Quakers are not committed to the same lifestyle as the Amish from what I understand.
Delicious!!!
My goodness! That's my idea of heaven - I'd spend hours there I think!
this looks Rawsome!
the Amish store i used to frequent made great jellies and ice cream. Nothing raw milk, though.
.
Was thinking last night, a bowl of whip cream makes you very "naughty" and it seemed a week ago yesterday we wished each other a naughty nice New Year, last year.
.
Oh Oracle your wisdom is endless.
I would love this shop. I wish there was one in my area. Great photos. Have a golden weekend! xo
Awsome!
MANSUETUDE - yes, I remember our naughty year wishes! He he he...
TAOCITO - and he knows it!
