With the change of season comes an exciting addition for Mother’s! This fall we will be opening our 12th store, but what’s especially exciting about this new location is that we are going Hollywood! Specifically, this store will be in the Media District at AVA Hollywood at La Pietra Place. We are excited to provide a neighborhood marketplace where customers can find everything they need for their weekly food shop, stop by for an afternoon green juice, or grab a bottle of wine before a movie night. We believe it will be a place where healthy meets value, and our selection of organic and natural foods complements an active and vibrant California lifestyle. So as the kids head back to school and pumpkin everything takes over, let’s give thanks to our bodies by nourishing them with the best in organic, health and wellness.
LETTER FROM THE CEO

Dorothy Carlow Mother’s Market CEO
With the widest selection of organic produce in Southern California for over 40 years, Mother’s is your go-to fruit and veggie destination. Bringing Orange County and Los Angeles residents the best in organic does not just happen overnight. 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 fall in mind, we wanted to share some of our amazing partners who supply us, and ultimately you, with top-quality organic produce.

COKE FARM REVOL GREENS
This season, Coke Farms is supplying Mother’s with many items including berries and tomatoes. It all started when founder Dale Coke planted a quarter acre of land with strawberries. He wanted to show that organic food production was possible and by 1981, Coke Farm became one of the first CCOF’s certified farms. Now 40+ years later, Coke Farm represents 80+ organic family farms, encompassing 4,000 acres of farmland. The company also uses as much sustainable packaging as possible.
Revol Greens are great for the environment and you. That’s why Mother’s is proud to partner with this brand to provide you with salads and kits. Founded in 2017, Revol Greens has quickly grown to become the largest greenhouse lettuce producer in the US. You can expect their lettuce and greens to be top quality, with the freshest taste and peak nutrition value. Grown in an animal and pest-free environment, the lettuce growing process uses no pesticides or herbicides. In addition, Revol Greens is certfied by Primus Labs to meet Global Food Safety Initiative Standards (GFSI) which is recognized as one of the highest standards for food safety.
The Honeycrisp is well-balanced between sweet and tart and known for its crisp texture and juiciness. Its name says it all! The Honeycrisp is the ideal apple to enjoy raw but it also meets the standards for a baking apple. It is available early in the season for all of the treats. As summer wanes and fall emerges, one of the joys of the season is a new crop of apples. Mother’s is a destination for the best organic apples, including all of your favorite varieties! Our customers’ top five favorites are the Organic Honeycrisp, Organic Fuji, Organic Sugarbee, Organic Envy and the Organic Granny Smith. If you haven’t tried one of these varieties, keep a look out for them as they come to market. We are here to make your decision easier. Check out the descriptions below and see what variety you should try next!

Best Organic ApplesFALL APPLE GUIDE
The Sugarbee apple is the result of cross-pollination between a Honeycrisp and an unknown variety– one of nature’s mysteries and a new favorite for us. Crisp, firm and crunchy, its sweetness is perfect for seasonal treats like caramel apples, ciders and a go-to for a cheese platter.
Sporting a red and yellow peel, the Envy has a sweet, pale yellow flesh with low acid and a slightly floral taste. It originated in New Zealand as the result of a cross between a Royal Gala and a Braeburn. Now grown in the US in Washington State, a freshly-cut Envy apple is hard to beat! A variety that originated in Australia in 1868, the Granny Smith is well–known and has withstood the test of time. The fruit of a Granny Smith is firm with a light green skin and crisp, juicy flesh. The flavor is tart and acidic. It’s an ideal apple for pies and tarts, as it remains firm when baked. How can you argue with an apple that is still a favorite more than 150 years after its origination?
Named after the town where it was developed, the Fuji apple continues to gain popularity because of its sweetness and firm flesh. The Fuji is a very refreshing bite especially if chilled. Introduced into the US in the 1980s, this variety is grown in California and other apple-producing states. The Fuji is a late ripening apple and available late fall.

Back-to-School SUSTAINABLE LUNCHBOX CHOICES
With school back in session, it’s time to start thinking about school lunches again. The start of the new school year is the perfect time to make some sustainable swaps to make lunches more eco-friendly. If you know you want to make the switch, but think it may be overwhelming, here are three easy changes you can make to get moving in the right direction.
Go waste-free this school year by replacing single-use plastic bags with Stasher bags. These endlessly reusable, food-grade platinum silicone bags are leak free with their patented Pinch-Loc™ seal. They are also dishwasher, microwave, and oven safe up to 425°F making them super convenient to use and clean. To make them even better, they contain no BPA, BPS, latex, or phthalates. During your next trip to Mother’s, pick up a few Stasher bags for your kids! We have a feeling you will love them too.

Swap Paper Bags for a Reusable Lunchbox Say goodbye to single use paper bags and hello to a cute reusable lunchbox. It’s fun to start the school year with a new lunchbox. Give your kids a few options to choose from and let them pick their favorite.
For an environmentally-friendly way to drink more water at school, a Hydro Flask is the way to go! These double-walled, vacuum-insulated stainless steel bottles are designed to keep cold liquids cold and hot liquids hot. We love that Hydro Flask also formed Parks For All, a charitable program created to benefit public green spaces and promote happier, healthier lives outdoors for all. Mother’s offers Hydro Flasks in many sizes and colors so there is something for everyone! MothersMarket.com

PUMPKIN HEALTH BENEFITS
Pumpkins bring to mind a season of jack-o-lanterns, pies and spiced lattes but a pumpkin has more to offer and not only in the fall. Pumpkin is one of the most nutrient–dense fruits. It’s an impressive food that tastes great too. Pumpkin is low in calories and high in fiber, with 49 calories and 2.7 grams of fiber in one cup of cooked pumpkin. It’s a win–win! The nutrients in pumpkin support eyes, skin, immune health and heart health as well as reduce harmful free radical damage and lower cancer risk. Furthermore, pumpkin is a go-to food for health benefits including vitamin A, antioxidants, vitamin C, potassium and more. Consider adding pumpkin seeds as a topping to salads and soups. Layered dishes like vegetarian lasagna, stuffed raviolis, breads and pancakes are just a few ways to add pumpkin to your diet. And then there’s always pie! More than ever, the internet makes it easy to find healthier versions of our holiday favorites: dairy-free, no-bake, raw and sugar-free recipes are all just a click away.
