In this episode of Think Local First, Tam and Susan sit down with Merry Alanis who has been with Lito's Community Cafe and Market since it opened in 2022. What they say about themselves: "Located on the border of Corralitos and Watsonville, Lito’s is shaped by the unique energy of Santa Cruz County—where the mountains meet farmland and the coast’s laid-back vibes blend with agricultural roots. We love the feeling of being part of a small, tight-knit community where the pace is slower, and the connections are deeper."
