A Brief History Lesson (or at least a brief attempt at one)
Believe it or not, Erewhon started its life in a much less glamorous location: Boston. Yes, Boston - home of clam chowder, not chia seeds. The year was 1966, and a couple named Michio and Aveline Kushi had a crazy idea: a store dedicated to natural foods. Fast forward a few years, and Aveline decided to bring the Erewhon magic to sunny California.
