Since the late 1960s Erewhon has been uncompromising in the commitment to provide foods and products that change the lives of our customers. We started out as pioneers in the natural foods industry, determined to help people eat better, and we created the model for the natural foods grocery. Today, we are still known and even revered, for staying true to our founding values and for making the health and well-being of our customers our paramount concern. In 2011, Tony and Josephine Antoci purchased Erewhon. The Antocis have spent the last several months immersed in learning the pure foods industry and are committed to creating community, living sustainably and inspiring customers to have the highest standards in foods and products. With the fresh energy of our new leaders Erewhon is thriving. Each day we strive to become even more deeply connected to our community. We are growing as a company, we are innovating and creating new products, and we are always seeking to provide the exceptional foods and nutritional items that our customers need to transform their lives. In a world filled with millions of foods and products that are unhealthy for human beings and destructive to the planet, and whose production is purely for profit, we are working hard so that Erewhon is always an oasis of all that is good.

Among the many restaurants in Los Angeles that claim to specialize in healthy, organic fare, Brentwood’s A Votre Sante is one of the few that truly commits itself to salubrious excellence. Nestled on San Vicente right next to the Brentwood Country Mart, the charming, café-style restaurant whose name means “to your health” in French has been offering an extensive variety of feel-good foods since 1987. Every dish is composed with precision and elegance: salads piled high with fresh greens, steamed vegetables, brown rice, avocado, and shredded purple cabbage; homemade Shelton Farms turkey meatloaf; organic chicken tucked in a whole wheat wrap with steamed veggies, tahini, avocado, and brown rice; gluten free brown rice pasta with tofu and fresh veggies in a ginger-tamari sauce; grilled falafel served with whole wheat pita, fresh tabuli, and cool hummus. If you can bear to take your eyes off the food, you might also notice that the place is a celebrity hideaway—it’s a favorite of Dennis Quaid, Kate Hudson, Jessica Alba, and Dylan...

Macrobiotics Macrobiotic eating is very basic in philosophy: eating a simple, balanced diet of in season vegetables, grains and protein from fish that helps us maintain our overall health and well-being. This may lead us to a longer, happier life. A macrobiotic diet is not about restriction or deprivation, it is about connecting oneself to the delicious restorative food we eat.
