Site Host Profile
We are the De La Paz family: Enrique, Susan and our wonderful boys. The guardians of our little nest are Josie (the Sheltie) and Roger Wee (the cat).
Angelic Organics was introduced to our family in 2014 and we became shareholders in 2015. We have been enamored with our box since our own little garden is used exclusively to grow many varieties of heirloom tomatoes. Our littlest guy has a corner of the garden to grow his peppers. Susan hopes to have some of her homemade salsa canned and is happy to share. If there is extra jarred salsa on the porch, please grab a jar!
Our little brick ranch is shaded by an enormous Magnolia. If you peek inside when picking up your box, you will likely see a dress form, mannequin heads, a giant steamer trunk and probably an indecent cat laying spread eagle on the floor (sorry). Susan is a collector and seller of all things vintage. Enrique loves eating pies and dinners in their pink 1950s kitchen. He is the best gentle giant and family man.
