My children and I were fortunate to attend the 12th Annual San Francisco Green Festival several weeks ago and although I planned to write this review soon after, life with kids got ahead of me! At the event, I set a task for both my kids, to choose 5-10 things they would consider buying after the festival. With pen and paper in hand, my 8 year old son and 12 year old daughter were off on their mission. I really wanted to show my kids how a community comes together to support local and national green businesses and they were enthusiastic to learn about and try new products. We brought 3 canned goods to trade in for free admission to the festival. My son really enjoyed getting a Henna Blessing Design and my daughter loved buying a dress from Lobos Del Mar which is a hand loomed home-crafted Organic fair-trade clothing company (see below for photos).Here are the top 5 food products that made it on my son and daughters lists:
1. RAAW Pure Juice Blends: Strawberry Purple Carrot (Gluten Free, Vegan, Kosher, Non-GMO verified) http://raawfoods.com/
2. COCO-ROONS: Brownie and Lemon Pie (Raw, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Low Glycemic) http://mycocoroons.com/
3. Vegan Gourmet Shreds (Dairy Free, Non-GMO verified, Gluten Free, Non-GMO, Soy Free, Cholesterol Free, Kosher)
4. Mama Chia (USDA Organic, Gluten Free, Vegan)
