Local, Natural, Quirky, Charmy

LA Weekly says that Silver Lake Natural Foods Market, 2829 Sunset Blvd., reminds us that "truly local natural food shops offer their own quirks and relatively quaint charms."

Owner Baba Ji, whose Cowboys & Turbans Indian/Mexican street-food hybrid is a few paces away, tells us he'll be building the selection of raw and vegan prepared foods. As for produce, all-organic fruits and veggies (and the raw materials for the to-come juice bar), will be sourced from both neighborhood farmers' markets and his distributor.
