Letter from the ceo

With the arrival of summer comes outdoor yoga, sunset runs and swims, afternoons of soaking up the sun by your neighbors pool (find a friend with a pool and a grill) and playdates at the beach riding the waves (don’t forget the SPF). I love summer because it’s all about fitness, food, friends and fun – many of the things we are all about at Mother’s! Cheers to picnics on the beach and bonfires and paddleboard yoga!

My motto for June, July and August is: Let’s go! Let’s go try … the $5 smoothie at Mother’s and then head to the beach for some volleyball! Let’s go try…the Homemade Grab & Go Vegan Chopped Salad from Mother’s and after we eat it, let’s take a boat to Catalina! Let’s go PLAY BINGO at Mother’s (because Bingo is cool again)!

Let’s go… Have a great summer.

Cheers to fun and food and community,

Local Farms & Family Producers

Peterson family fruit

With the widest selection of organic produce in Southern California for over 40 years, Mother’s is your organic produce destination. Bringing Orange County and Los Angeles residents the best organic fruits and vegetables does not just happen. Through years of vetting, forming, and maintaining relationships with local farms and family producers, we are able to bring you the best of the best. With summer in mind, we wanted to share one of our amazing partners that supply us, and ultimately you, with them.

This season, Peterson Family Fruit is supplying Mother’s with delicious stone fruits. The Petersons are rooted in their land. Living in the same place for the last four generations, they have no plans of moving. Vern started farming at the age of five. Out in the field, grading cannery peaches beside his father. Everyone in the family pitched in. That’s just how the family farm worked.

Carrying on the 100-year tradition, growing delicious stone fruit is natural to the Petersons. The family farm is located in the heart of the central valley, in a small Swedish town called Kingsburg. Vern grew up working alongside his father in the orchards. Through that season, he learned life-long lessons, working hard and learning from his mistakes. The love of life and a love for people was instilled in Vern by his father—an enduring trait he still reflects to this day. Catch the glimmer in his eye and the wide smile across his face.

Now Vern, along with his son Erik, farm a variety of organic tree fruits including peaches, plums, and nectarines. A family tradition passed on to the next generation. Beyond the work, the Petersons care for their people. Genuine and whole—in all they do. Vern and his family work hard, using organics to enrich the world around them, both in their fruit and through the people. Vern farms a variety of organic tree fruits including peaches, plums, and nectarines. ¬The family also raises organic chickens, using their waste for fertilizer on the farm. A symbiotic relationship that naturally boosts farming operations. Mother’s is proud to partner with Peterson Family Fruit this season!

Easy Summer Snacking

Precut Organic Fruit for Your Kids

Summer break is upon us and if you have little ones at home, you likely are hearing “I’m hungry!” pretty frequently. When you have a bunch of other things going on, the last thing you probably want to do is take time to make a healthy snack. Let’s be honest, it can be time consuming…but it doesn’t have to be!

One easy and healthy option is to have fresh, precut organic fruit on hand from Mother’s! Instead of having your kids snack on unhealthy options, you can give them the organic fruit that requires minimal effort on your end. Add to a plate, grab a fork, and they will be good to go.

In our produce department, you will find many different precut organic fruit options to choose from. Whether you prefer to get individual varieties by themselves such as watermelon cubes or mango slices or a mixed option that has a few different fruits in it, there are many options to choose from. We also change our options based on the seasonality and availability of each item.

Cheers to happy, healthy summer snacking!

See you at the Juice Bar!

Grass-fed Wagyu

Grilling Favorites to Try This Summer

It’s the season for backyard BBQs and since last summer, Mother’s has made some exclusive additions to the store that are going to be new favorites this grilling season. Two of the noteworthy new items include Mother’s Grass-fed Wagyu Ribeye and Mother’s Grass-fed Wagyu Burger Patties 3pk. Both options are delicious, juicy, and tender!

We suggest trying them out for different occasions. For the quintessential backyard summer BBQ, burger patties are a must; however, if you’re throwing a more intimate summer dinner party, we recommend the ribeye. While both can be prepared on the grill or stove, we suggest cooking the burgers on the grill, a few minutes on each side until cooked to your preference. As for the ribeye, we like to opt for the stove and oven. First sear both sides of the ribeye on the stove for a few minutes and then put the pan in the oven for a few minutes until it’s cooked to your liking.

Both are great when served with fresh, organic veggies from our produce department such as delicious organic asparagus. Yum!

Sun Safety

What to Look For In A Sunscreen

Before you head out to soak up some rays this summer, it’s important to make sure that you get a good sunscreen to protect your skin. Many people don’t realize, however, that there are many things to look at when it comes to choosing a sunscreen. Here are a few things to consider.

Is Your Sunscreen Broad Spectrum?

It’s important that you choose a sunscreen that is broad spectrum! What does that mean? Broad spectrum sunscreens protect your skin from both UVA and UVB rays. Both types of rays are harmful in their own ways. UVA rays can cause premature aging and potentially contribute to some skin cancer types while UVB rays can cause sunburns and a majority of skin cancer types. Given the negative effects of each type of ray, it’s good to pick a sunscreen that protects against both.

Is Your Sunscreen Water Resistant?

Sunscreens become less effective when they are exposed to water. That’s why if you’re planning to go swimming or head to the beach, it’s key to have a sunscreen that is water resistant, meaning it is formulated to make it more resistant to water for longer periods of time. Even with a water-resistant sunscreen, it’s important that you continue to reapply the sunscreen frequently, especially if in the water. The American Academy of Dermatology has recommendations for how frequently to reapply sunscreen in different scenarios.

Is Your Sunscreen Reef-friendly?

If you’re planning a trip to the beach, another factor to consider is whether your sunscreen is reef friendly! While the term “reef friendly” is not regulated, you can determine if a sunscreen is in fact reef friendly by checking out the ingredients. Savethereef.org has a guide that lists all the ingredients to avoid to protect our oceans!

Does Your Sunscreen Contain Harmful Ingredients?

While people have a range of opinions as to whether certain ingredients found in chemical sunscreens are okay to be put on the skin and thereby be absorbed by the body, it’s important to be aware. A quick online search can provide you a lot of information on which ingredients to avoid and which to be concerned about. In general, however, mineral sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide are “generally regarded as safe and effective” by the FDA even though they are not as effective at blocking out the sun’s rays compared to chemical sunscreens. Everyone has to do their own research to determine which ingredients they are comfortable with so they can choose the proper sunscreen.

Zhou

From the heart of utah

Zhou Nutrition started with a small group of runners, yogis, athletes and outdoor enthusiasts all striving for greatness in our own unique ways. The common thread? We know that what’s inside matters. Proper nutrition can make or break a bid for greatness, and supplements are key to filling in the gaps. But when we couldn’t find the high-quality supplements we needed, we decided to make our own. Now, we create clean, effective supplements tailored to our unique needs and share the process because quality matters. Our goal is to make supplements we take ourselves, and we have some damn high standards. That’s Zhou Nutrition.
