Shopping for Groceries – go local

This week I was showing property in Sebastopol and by coincidence -sort of- ended up looking for a certain type of noodles at Pacific Market in Sebastopol. Could not find the noodles I was looking for – was a long shot anyway- but found a Dutch treat one seldom finds at stores here: beschuit! Or as it was called Dutch Rusk. Beschuit is delicious, a traditional treat is Beschuit met Muisjes -Rusk with sprinkels-.

Besides this they had an excellent selection of local meat, Dutch and other artisan cheeses as well as a great selection of other good stuff. If you are new to the area, there is a Safeway in Sebastopol. But if you like to shop local, try Pacific market, it’s fun, and you will discover a lot of local really good food!

About Mirjam de Rijk

Growing up in the Netherlands, it was never a dream to even go on vacation in the USA. However we ended up moving from Eindhoven(Netherlands) to CA in 1997 and I truly love living in Sonoma County/CA. It is a great place to live. Real Estate is a part of my life, it's great to be able to help people during a transition in their life. It can be challenging at times, there is never a dull moment and always ongoing education as to the changes in the Real Estate industry. But that makes it interesting. The variety of Sonoma County as well as the different types of properties/locations make Sonoma County truly a fun place to live and to work.
