As Californians Face Rising Grocery Bills, This Neighborhood Market Makes Fresh Produce Easier On The Wallet

About three-quarters of this grocery store’s floor is fruits and vegetables. Not chips. Not frozen pizza. Produce, stacked high in a space of roughly 7,500 square feet.

11 California Bakeries Making Fresh Sourdough Bread For The Thanksgiving Table

One San Francisco bakery has been making sourdough since 1849. That means its bread was rising before California even became a state. I still can’t get over that. Sourdough is old-school baking at its best. It doesn’t use packaged yeast. Bakers rely on a living starter made of flour and water, and it gives the bread that famous tang.

Outside San Jose Is A California Paradise With Redwoods, Mountain Trails, And Scenic Camping

While California has a record-topping nine national parks and 280 state parks, the Golden State's love for protecting its wild and natural spaces doesn't end there. Counties at the regional level take wilderness preservation seriously, too. This means even those in large metropolitan areas can find scenic parks and outdoorsy joys nearby. Urbanites in San Jose, for example, can drive about 30 to 40 minutes and find themselves on the redwood-covered slopes of Sanborn County Park. Tucked away in the Santa Cruz Mountains, this sprawling 3,453-acre paradise is an idyllic retreat where you can hike or bike among towering conifers and then camp beneath their splendor.
