Our story

A family kitchen that grew into farmers markets across Southern California.

Vegan Stops started in 2017 with one farmers market stand, a family recipe box, and a simple belief: real Mediterranean food, made with ingredients you can recognize, should be easy to find.

How we grew

From one stand to all of SoCal.

2017

Started at one farmers market.

A family recipe box, a single stand, and a line of regulars who kept coming back for the hummus and pilaf.

Growth

Expanded across Southern California.

Word spread market to market — from Orange County to LA, the Inland Empire, and San Diego.

Today

Weekly farmers markets across Southern California — plus meal prep & catering.

A Garden Grove kitchen, weekly meal prep, and corporate wellness catering, all from the same family recipes.

Mission

Help people eat better with real Mediterranean food.

No fake meats, no ultra-processed shortcuts — just the simple, Blue Zone-inspired way of eating we grew up with.

The family & the food

Made by hand, every week.
