What's in Season at Eagle Rock's Organix?

More than most grocery stores, it's important to know what's in season when shopping at Eagle Rock's Organix.

That's because, according to co-owner Andrew Perez, the store's produce selection comprises only seasonal, organic and--save for a few items--locally sourced products.

What's in season right now? According to Perez, it's berries and citrus. Though both items can be procured year-round, now is the time when both are most abundant locally.

"Berries are normally $7 per-package, this time of year they are down to $4," Perez said.

Organix is also stocked with roots, root vegetables and greens that, for the most part, can be grown year-round.

"Turmeric, ginger, burdock, beets are almost always in stock," Perez said.

Leafy greens--like kale and spinach, which are grown in Bakersfield by the South Central Farmers' Cooperative--can be found year round at Organix too, Perez said.
