Nerby stores

[Andreas Mom]

Ok so for those who know the ware better than I do. Where would the closet Trader Joes, Whole Foods, etc type of store be? We are at HOJOS and I will need to pick a few things up for the week. We will have a car so even if it is a bit farther that is fine.

I need a "healthier" store because my son has allergies and the regular stores or even Target have such limited things he can eat.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Henrys Farmers Market on Harbor Blvd in Fullerton. I love this place for their organic grocery store. It's past HOJO as you go up Harbor Blvd, over the overpass and around 3 miles up the street from HOJO's. Easy to get to, and find. All natural foods at a reasonable price. A side benefit of going there is that there is an IN-N-Out burger really close to is as well as the Disney Character around the corner from the IN-N-OUT. It's a tradition that as soon as we get to Anaheim, before checking in to go to the IN-N-OUT burger for a meal. The burger place and the Disney Character warehouse are across the street from Henrys Farmers market, and a 1/4 mile up the street. Worth checking out all 3 places, especially IN-N-OUT burger. Hope that this helps you out. Darn now I've got a craving for IN-N-OUT again SIGH! None up my way in the Great White North.

Henry's in Fullerton is good, but I was really impressed with the previously mentioned Mother's Market in Santa Ana. It's across Main St from the Westfield Main Place mall, and is really oriented towards organic foods and foods for people with allergies (gluten free etc), which sounds like what the OP wants. In that same center is a Corner Bakery, a very good place for soups, salads, and bakery items.

Thank yo ueveryone for the ideas. Weve known about half his allergies for awhile now but some new ones popped up in the last month that we are still working on getting used to so I know these stores will be great to buy from!

Also In and Out is soooo on our list and the disney outlet will be great! Thanks
