Earthbound Farm — Attraction in Salinas

Upon drinking part of a smoothie that I made with their kale, chard, spinach mix, I started developing fairly strong allergic reactions (itchy throat, etc.) and could not consume more. I then went to verify whether this was labelled as organic or not, since I have never had such reactions from these vegetables before (but I have from other contaminated foods). I researched their organic certification aside from the weak USDA one which allows for heavy pesticide use. CCOF was their certifier. CCOF's website indicates ignorance of true organic (meaning in the spirit of organic farming which is good for the workers, the customers and the earth). CCOF claims that the USDA definition of organic which allows heavy pesticide use, is a sufficient standard. Earthbound's website showed some hints of having more information, but each link that I tried was broken. I then found that the owner of Silk brand bought Earthbound in 2013. Silk is one of the "food" corporations which prevented labeling of GMO food in California. Beware that not all "organic" is true organic. I heard a Fox news watcher claim that organic food was more pesticide-ridden than non-organic. I read the USDA definition and found that this is true of those only seeking to meet the USDA definition of organic. I do not recommend this brand if you are seeking to support true...

Well I had a great experience until! I was leaving the loading area to go back out to the parking area to finish my 10 hour break! Only needed to stay 2 1/2 hours. To have some black girl rent a cop tell me I couldn't stay! I told her I couldn't leave till my break was up! She was demanding to see my paper work to prove it and she didn't understand even after me showing her my elog. Was very rude and unprofessional to me!!! I'm not a truck driver that throws trash or dumps things out!! I'm nice and professional to everyone! I even helped a guy that almost ripped his doors off at the dock fix them so they would load him!!! But!!!!!!!! I tell you this now I have to start my trip across country on no sleep!!!!! Since elogs this happens from time to time now!!! Cause noone can sleep having someone beat on your truck none stop!!!! Hope they can find plenty of people to haul there freight!!! Cause I'm sure like myself there's gonna be others that won't come back here!!!! There added to my black list!!!! Sorry for the...

BEWARE!! Was just there at the Carmel Valley, CA stand buying a flower arrangement. The checker had me sign the payment pad before even inserting my card. I think I know why. She had put a $5 tip on my transaction without my knowledge. They say they are going to refund my card, but when. They seemed to not be able to correct the situation on the spot and I’m sure they hope I forget but they are wrong. I’m a local here and if they think they are going to randomly try to overcharge people, like some unassuming tourists, they have another thing coming. I hope everyone makes sure to check their receipt. It’s the principle of the whole situation more than the $5. I will remove this post if and when my credit card is credited. Otherwise I will make a formal dispute with my credit card company. I have to say I am so worried that this is something they do often. There was a lot of whispers and they could’ve just given me cash back or discounted another item I purchased so I am extremely concerned about...
