Organic finds in Half Moon Bay
The quaint seaside Peninsula town of Half Moon Bay has a brand new organic and natural food supermarket called New Leaf Community Market near the intersection of 92 and highway 1. It’s a local version of a large scale natural food market, like a Whole Foods for Half Moon Bay. This recently opened a couple months ago.
My fiance and I took a nice tour of the store-sparking new floors, clean and brightly lit, with tons of fresh organic produce. The ready made food in the deli and hot foods, soup and salad bar were a lot better than I expected for a local market. We picked up some organic raspberries, an organic fennel and pinenut salad as well as a tofu salad to go. I would definitely come back here!
Our real stop was for dinner at a restaurant in Half Moon Bay called Chez Shea. This was my second time eating at this downtown restaurant on Main Street. Almost all of the food is sourced locally and organically. The taste is extremely fresh and clean with global flavors. The first time I ate here, I tried their Indian curry and rice. In my most recent visit, I tried their chile renno with an organic beet salad to start. All of the food was fantastic! My fiance Vivek and I feel that this restaurant is a total find in the area–rated up there with some of the best organic restaurants in San Francisco. Come check it out!

To all the people who live to write and talk about organic foods and restaurants, I find so damn boring and the opposite of the trailer trash Americans who are equally as boring in their constant pursuit for FOOD. Living in Europe mostly, we avoid all things American and discuss other things than riboflavins, msg and have a varied diets and our foods are all grown and brought in daily to the market place and the breads, cheeses and pastries are all made to ‘taste’ like real vegetables and fruits from all over France or any country which has farming which is like some sort of miracle now in America…..That was the way it was just a half century ago, and not people just can’t shut up about eating well.
What bores; and still 3 out of 5 people are fat…not overweight but just fat.
I wasn’t aware of this market or restaurant in Half Moon Bay, so thanks for the info. What is really *boring*, however, is W.Snide Ford’s pompous post.
Keep the great info coming, Ms. Patel.
