Acme Bread Company<br />
San Francisco<br />
Ferry Building Marketplace One, Marketplace Shop #15, San Francisco, CA 94111<br />
Tel: 415-288-2978<br />
http://www.ferrybuildingmarketplace.com/acme_bread<br />
The Marketplace is the only place in the Bay Area—other than Acme's original Berkeley<br />
location—that carries the full selection of Acme's nationally acclaimed artisan breads. Steve<br />
Sullivan, founder and owner, says that after all these years Acme's foremost goal remains the<br />
same— to bake outstanding bread.<br />
Acme uses only organic flour and works closely with farmers in evaluating and selecting the grain<br />
varieties for its flour each year. Three shifts of bakers work around the clock, seven days a week at<br />
the Berkeley bakery in order to meet customer demand. At the Ferry Building Marketplace, breads<br />
are baked fresh throughout the day in the hearth oven.<br />
Sullivan became interested in baking bread 25 years ago as a busboy at Berkeley's famous Chez<br />
Panisse restaurant where he worked while attending the University of California at Berkeley. He<br />
started baking bread as a serious hobby after being inspired by Elizabeth David's cookbook "English<br />
Bread and Yeast Cookery." At Alice Waters' request he went on to bake bread in the Chez Panisse<br />
kitchen. In 1983 he and his wife, Suzie, opened their first—now legendary—bakery.<br />

Thirty years ago, Berkeley's now-famous cooperative, the Cheeseboard, opened its doors. In 1997,<br />
inspired by their own success, they helped open another bakery based on cooperative principles.<br />
Arizmendi Oakland debuted that year on Lakeshore Avenue, named after the Basque labor<br />
organizer.<br />
The endeavor was a hit, so what next? They decided to open another bakery, this time in San<br />
Francisco. Once again the group, along with members of the Oakland store, graciously imparted<br />
their knowledge of cooperative business practices and shared secrets of their recipes.<br />
In October of 2000, Arizmendi Bakery San Francisco was born. The Cheeseboard's gift to us has<br />
become our gift to the neighborhood.<br />

Our gourmet tea cookies are simple. They have but three basic ingredients: flour, butter and sugar.<br />
It is our belief that great tea cookies start with great ingredients. That is why we handcraft our tea<br />
cookies with all natural organic ingredients. Our flour is unbleached and made from a premium blend<br />
of organic hard red wheat. Our butter is European Style Organic Sweet Cream Butter with over 85%<br />
butterfat, made in a 1950's small batch butter churn. Our sugar is organic pure cane sugar - no beet<br />
sugar here. In choosing our ingredient partners, we seek companies with an artisan approach, each<br />
striving to create the purest products possible. We also believe that you appreciate unique flavors<br />
and have an adventurous and educated palate. That is why we carefully select the most aromatic<br />
culinary herbs and spices. We use the actual herb or spice, not a tincture or flavoring. The actual<br />
leaves, flowers, stems or seeds are incorporated into our dough using our proprietary method.<br />

On scenic coastal Highway 1, Pt. Reyes Station sits at the southern end of Tomales Bay and at the<br />
entrance to Pt. Reyes National Seashore. Competing with all the natural beauty is the smell of<br />
freshly baked bear claws, goy morning buns and sourdough rolls—just a few of the reasons it's as<br />
likely to meet someone munching on one of the Bovine Bakery's pastries who is from San Francisco<br />
as from around the corner. (When people ride their bicycles 30 miles to eat a pastry, you know it's<br />
good.)<br />
For Bridget Devlin it all fell into place. Certainly there were challenges and some days were better<br />
than others, but the whole plan seemed to have a logical inevitability about it. And now, “I'm doing<br />
something I love,” she smiles.<br />
She, her husband and their son were living in Monterey, when the opportunity came for him to join<br />
the Hog Island Oyster Company in Tomales. The whole family took to the move like ducks to water<br />
(which there is a lot of in this area). After settling in, Bridget's entrepreneurial instincts kicked in. She<br />
took a look at her new town and decided that it could use a bakery. She researched every aspect of<br />
the business, even apprenticing herself to Kelly Porter at Santa Cruz's Kelly's French Bakery. When<br />
she was ready she found the perfect location and the perfect people to work with her. They seem to<br />
think that she's made the perfect place for them too, because they stay for many years.<br />
Bovine Bakery has grown with the town and adapted its selection of pastries to the local tastes.<br />
“We're delighted to have visitors, but the Pt. Reyes people are so important to us,” Bridget explains.<br />
“It fits this place perfectly. We always have at least two or three vegan pastries on offer. In another<br />
town we might not have those. This bakery could only be here.” And a lot of people are clearly glad<br />
it is.<br />

Although Clairesquares officially opened for business in 2006, Claire has been making her<br />
delectable treats since she was a child growing up in County Cork, Ireland. By the age of 12, she<br />
was baking from her mother's recipe books and experimenting with fudge, butterscotch, toffee and<br />
caramel. She found that the best result was a mouthwatering combination of shortbread, caramel<br />
and chocolate.<br />
A young entrepreneur, Claire tried her hand at selling the squares at school. It wasn't long before<br />
her classmates were addicted and she was selling out every week. Over the years, Claire continued<br />
to bake her famous squares, developing a following among family and friends in Ireland. Years later<br />
and miles away in San Francisco, she whipped up a batch of her buttery Irish treats for her friends.<br />
They had never tasted anything quite like them. Encouraged by her friends' enthusiasm—and<br />
constant harassment for just one more square—Claire decided to sell them again here in America,<br />
and Clairesquares was born!<br />
Though our products may be sinful, Clairesquares is dedicated to being a socially responsible<br />
business. We operate out of a certified Green Business commercial kitchen and are licensed as a<br />
green business with the City and County of San Francisco. We are committed to an aggressive<br />
recycling and composting program, and we recycle 90% of our waste. Our online orders are shipped<br />
using recycled and biodegradable styrofoam, which ensures that your product arrives to you in<br />
perfect shape with minimal effect on the environment.<br />

donation program, we have assisted local food banks and charitable nonprofit organizations.<br />

artificial means to expand the business. My wife Tamsen works side by side with me in the bakery<br />
making the scones and helping with the scaling and shaping of the loaves. All of my loaves and<br />
baked goods are 100% organic using as many local ingredients as possible and are completely<br />
handcrafted.<br />
We offer some breads that are totally unique and much in demand: a 100% spelt bread, a 100% rye<br />
bread and a loaf made from and heirloom variety of wheat grown by Full Belly Farm. These breads<br />
offer an alternative to those who are sensitive to modern wheat, and are purchased enthusiastically<br />
by many customers who thought that they had to give up bread.<br />
We love what we do, we love our bread, and we hope that you will as well.<br />

We do make many cookie flavors in our kitchen - some of which contain nuts. If you have severe<br />

Rustic Bakery was created to address the growing Artisan Cheese market in the United States.<br />
Seeing that there were no handmade Artisan crackers available to compliment the increasingly<br />
sophisticated cheeses being produced, the founders of Rustic Bakery decided to develop a line of<br />
organic flatbreads in 2005.<br />
In January 2006, Rustic Bakery incorporated and with the help of its investment group, purchased<br />
and moved into its new location in Larkspur. The bakery has a 50 year history and was the site of<br />
the much beloved "Bread & Chocolate" bakery before. After completing renovation, the bakery<br />
opened its doors on March 3, 2006 to a warm response from the neighborhood.<br />
Rustic Bakery flat breads are baked by hand with organic grains and seeds, using local ingredients<br />
whenever possible. The flat breads are all low in fat, high in fiber and full of nutrients making them<br />
naturally good for you.<br />

Special Request<br />
331 Cortland Ave, San Francisco, CA 94110 sr.desserts@yahoo.com<br />
http://www.specialrequestsf.com<br />
Special Request humbly began with a challenge and specific request for a gluten-free vegan<br />
dessert. Wheat and dairy are part of almost everything we consume. Vanessa began to experiment<br />
with different recipes on order to create desserts that would not only be tasty and aesthetically<br />
pleasing but also fill this specific niche. One that is filled with unsatisfying desserts that fall way short<br />
on taste and presentation. With this in mind she embarked in intensive research related to celiac<br />
disease, autism, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. This in turn led her to the kitchen,<br />
where she labored restlessly for months developing the flavors, textures and look that has become<br />
Special Request. After experimenting with new flavors and techniques, all of her experiences fused,<br />
emerging into a healthy more sustainable way to create delicious desserts.<br />

The Yellow Deli<br />
315 East Broadway, Vista, CA 92084<br />
Tel: 760- 631-1888<br />
http://yellowdeli.com/home-vista.html<br />
Long ago in the old village of Vista an idea sprouted… Wouldn't it be nice to have a place in this<br />
unusually quiet and uncrowded part of Southern California for a pleasant place where we could<br />
meet friends and serve good food…<br />
So, early in the year of 2003 this property was acquired on Broadway… an old one room dilapidated<br />
building stood next to the old Adobe offices. That little building was torn down and then began a very<br />
long process of learning for us. We got to know about building permits, architects, engineers, many<br />
fees, etc. Finally, after many trials and even more errors, we began building our Deli in 2008.<br />
From the ground up, our nice Deli building began to take shape. And after many more difficulties<br />
and many more fees, building permits, architects, and engineers, we finally finished the task. It took<br />
seven years all together. On Feb. 14, 2010 we opened our doors.<br />
So, the nice idea is now a living reality: the Yellow Deli.<br />
Some may say that we're dreamers, but we're not the only ones…<br />
Even longer ago, and even farther away, the idea actually sprouted up of a society where people<br />
could work together and live together in peace and harmony. The “utopian” ideal of a society of<br />
complete sharing has come and gone across the face of history over the years, but few realize that<br />
the roots of this type of living was demonstrated most vividly in the “First Church” (which was entirely<br />
made of up Jewish believers in the Messiah) as they practiced complete communal living… this fact<br />
is documented clearly in the Bible. Somehow it must have appeared to them to be the perfect way to<br />
live out all the demands of Love, going the “extra mile”. So, why not live that way today?<br />
Page 28
<strong>california</strong> guide: bakers<br />
That is a good question. It seemed to us like love demanded that kind of “together lifestyle”. So, for<br />
the last 40 years, we have been working together as a co-operative, raising our families together.<br />
Not until the early 2000's did we actually start a community here in Vista. Some of us are originally<br />
from this area and were very happy to become part of such a community right here. We support<br />
ourselves by organic farming (Morning Star Ranch Organic Avocado Ranch, Valley Center) and sell<br />
our produce at the various Farmers Markets in our area. The Deli is able to serve you fresh, organic,<br />
and local produce some of which comes from our own ranch. We also have woodshops where we<br />
work together, making nice doors and windows and cabinets (such as the ones you see in the Deli).<br />
We do high quality work and have two woodshops in Vista, (one on Mercantile, and one on, S.<br />
Santa Fe, Vista). And now we work together to run our little Deli built with great care by all of us<br />
together…<br />
So, we have good organic food, nice craftsmanship, and a nice environment to eat a meal.. that is<br />
The Yellow Deli!<br />
Our way of life is different and we do not mind one bit answering your questions. As Henry David<br />
Thoreau once wrote: “If a man ds not keep peace with his companions, perhaps it is because he<br />
hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far<br />
away.”<br />
We are just extremely happy to be here in Vista and to have actually, finally opened our doors.<br />
We hope your dining experience is pleasing and you can be sure, “We are here for you…”<br />

Brewery Gulch Inn, which opened in March 2001, combines yesterday's history with today's<br />
comforts. On ten acres encompassing mature pine trees, redwoods, hundreds of rhododendrons,<br />
and many native plants, the inn was built with ancient virgin redwood timbers, eco-salvaged from Big<br />
River. The site, overlooking Smuggler's Cove and the Pacific Ocean, is one-half mile south of the<br />
historic town of Mendocino. The Inn provides a peaceful retreat for those enjoying the North Coast's<br />
many recreational opportunities.<br />
The Brewery Gulch Inn is situated on land chosen by Homer Barton in 1854 as the site of<br />
Mendocino County's first real farm. With the pick of the area, he chose acreage with a perfect<br />
mini-climate for growing vegetables. Along with supplying vegetables, Barton helped to establish a<br />
brewery and dairy on the property.<br />
Continuing in Barton's tradition, the Brewery Gulch Inn currently produces organically raised<br />
chickens, eggs, heritage apples, mushrooms, greens, dozens of varieties of edible flowers, a wide<br />
range of herbs and spices, heritage garlic, and more. These are used by talented Chef Jeffrey<br />
Neumeier for the bountiful breakfasts made each morning, as well as backpack luncheons and<br />
seasonal dinners available for guests.<br />
The homestead and Inn were certified organic in 2002 by the California Certified Organic Farmers<br />
(CCOF) under the provisions of the California Organic Foods Act of 1990.<br />

community to teach and provide opportunities to learn about the environment and social justice.<br />
Hidden Villa stretches over 1600 acres of open space in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains,<br />
about 40 miles south of San Francisco. Our mission is to inspire a just and sustainable future<br />
through our programs, land and legacy.<br />
Page 34
<strong>california</strong> guide: bed and breakfasts<br />
Hidden Villa was founded by Frank and Josephine Duveneck, who purchased the land in 1924 and<br />
offered it as a gathering place for discussion, reflection, and incubation of social reform. Over the<br />
following decades, the Duvenecks established the first Hostel on the Pacific Coast (1937), the first<br />
multiracial summer camp (1945), and Hidden Villa's Environmental Education Program (1970). The<br />
Trust for Hidden Villa was established as a nonprofit in 1960.<br />
Every year 30,000 people participate in one of our formal programs. An additional 20,000 visitors<br />
come to our preserve annually to explore our farm and gardens or to hike on our eight miles of trails.<br />
Our constituents cover a wide spectrum of age, physical ability, geography, ethnicity, cultural and<br />
socio-economic backgrounds and our organic farm, rustic barns, newer sustainable structures and<br />
pristine riparian, woodland and chaparral wilderness provide opportunities to experience the beauty<br />
of our environment on a first hand basis.<br />

An elegant old hunting lodge turned into whimsical hideaway, Manka's Inverness Lodge and<br />
Restaurant relies heavily upon local farmers to shape their seasonal menu. The large majority of<br />
what is served is grown and raised and caught within 30 minutes of Manka's. The daily changing<br />
menu highlights wild game, local fish, locally raised birds, rabbits, lamb, abalone, and oysters--plus<br />
organic greens, roots, fruits, and olives grown on the property. Foragers ferret out wild mushrooms<br />
and pick buckets of huckleberries for the restaurant.<br />
Thursday through Sunday, Manka's serves a set menu of 5 to 7 small courses, composed entirely of<br />
local delicacies. Monday through Wednesday, Manka's reaches beyond Marin County for a more<br />
expansive menu. Dinner is served from 7 to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 4 to 10<br />
p.m. on Sunday.<br />
Diners are also welcome to make reservations to stay overnight at Manka's which is made up of<br />

elegant accommodations.<br />
On the same grounds sit the annex, a wonderful collection of four side-by-side rooms, and two<br />
carefully appointed 1920's cabins: the fishing cabin and Manka's cabin.<br />
A second, very private property is tucked further into the hills. Two cabins rest on a ridge over<br />
looking the park. They are The Perch and the Cabin One-Two-Five. A third, particularly luxurious<br />
property sits over Tomales Bay. Older than the lodge, but more contemporary in feel, it is comprised<br />
of two units: the Boathouse and the Boatman's Quarters.<br />

We believe in grass-fed beef. The world's demand for protein is growing, and the environmental and<br />
human health costs of feedlot beef, factory chicken, vast monocrops like soy, and commercial<br />
fishing are proving to be unsustainably high.<br />
We are committed to providing our customers with complete transparency from pasture to plate, so<br />
you know exactly what you are getting when you eat Estancia Beef.<br />
We also believe it is important to educate customers by providing academic studies, newspaper<br />
articles, and research that demonstrate the benefits of producing beef the Estancia way. The more<br />
informed you are, the more you'll understand how good our beef is.<br />

started selling organic Thai food at a Berkeley farmers' market in 2005. To support the local<br />
farmers, he decided to buy most his organic produces from the farmers' market.<br />
Cindy was a business major, but now she is studying geography and environmental studies. Cindy<br />
is always interested in organic farming, green business and socially responsible business. When<br />
Andy and Cindy started this business, she wanted to manage her business with a holistic approach.<br />
She supports local farmers, serves the community, and takes good care of her employees. Andy<br />
and Cindy's beliefs, and practices attract many regular customers.<br />
Since we started our business in 2005, our goal has been to serve high quality food, support local<br />
farmers and businesses, and promote an environmentally friendly eating style.<br />
Our choice of ingredients reflects our philosophy<br />
Vegetables:We purchase over 90% of our produce from local organic farmers such as the Full Belly<br />
Farm, River Dog Farm, Lucero Farm, Swanton Berry Farm, and Happy Boy Farm.<br />
Chicken:We use Rocky Junior free-range chicken from Petaluma Farms.<br />
Fish:We only use eco-friendly fish. Therefore, even though the name of one of our dishes is “Red<br />
Snapper,” we stopped using red snapper a long time ago, because of their declining numbers. We<br />
check the “best and worst” seafood guides to make our purchases. Currently, we are using Pollock<br />
from Alaska.<br />
Tofu:We use organic tofu from Hudo Tofu, a Santa Clara based tofu company that sells its products<br />
at various farmers' market.<br />
Brown rice:We use brown rice Measa Rice Farm, a small rice farm near Chico.<br />

our activism. When you taste our food and experience our service, you'll see it. It's obvious.<br />
Of course the most incredible part of the Back to Earth experience is the food. Organic, local,<br />
seasonal food tastes good. Culinary creations that have been treated with respect from the first<br />
moment and prepared with positive intention feel good too. In short, our food tastes better than<br />
conventional food. From the seed to the kitchen to your plate, it is sacred food. You'll notice every<br />
time. It's a wonderful experience.<br />
You can taste every element of our food - the organic free-range chicken roaming free in Marin,<br />
perfect strawberries from Full Belly Farm, the fresh spring greens from Riverdog Farm in Guinda,<br />
Wild Salmon caught just miles from the San Francisco Bay, juicy portobellos from Solano<br />
Mushroom, artisan organic cheeses from Cowgirl Creamery, and a rustic fresh baked organic bread<br />
from the Acme bakery, a local Berkeley treasure.<br />
So why work with us? Because when you work with us every event becomes even more wonderful<br />
and meaningful. By working with us your event makes a difference, and takes a purposeful step<br />

Our commitment is to the Earth, and our work is filled with love, integrity, and a deeply rooted<br />
passion to leave the world in even better shape than when we found it.<br />

Eco Caters serves only organic cuisine. Our entire product list is sourced from local organic farms<br />
and ranches that practice sustainable, humane, pesticide-free farming. We buy direct from the farm<br />
to guarantee the most seasonal product. If a menu item is unable to be located locally, additional<br />
menu options are presented to our clients. If it is not in season we will not serve it. We serve the<br />
freshest product at the market. Not only do we source our product from local farms, but we also<br />
taste our product raw before we purchase to ensure the best ingredients available. We use<br />
biodegradable products, and purchase from fair trade farms. In addition to conscious consumption,<br />
a portion of our proceeds is donated to organizations that support renewable energy and a<br />
sustainable lifestyle.<br />

Abundant Harvest Organics<br />
38694 Road 16, Kingsburg, CA 93631 kathy@abundantharvestorganics.com<br />
http://www.abundantharvestorganics.com<br />
Just like many of you, our family has been on a journey to live and eat healthy. Which, much to our<br />
dismay, we discovered is extremely expensive to accomplish.<br />
We decided that that was unacceptable especially if we had the ability to improve this struggle for<br />
enhancing health. Thus, our desire for affordable, chemically unaltered food led us to develop<br />
Abundant Harvest Organics. We have uncovered an approach to natural food distribution that will<br />
deliver organic produce at conventional prices within hours of harvest.<br />
Who We Are<br />
Abundant Harvest Organics is an alliance of small family farmers in Central California dedicated to<br />
growing superior organic produce and getting it to you in the simplest manner possible; that is,<br />
without the use of chemicals or packaging materials. We grow locally and supply locally, cutting the<br />
need for expensive and wasteful fuel and packing resources.<br />
Here is what we do best:<br />
* Organic produce only; we don′t substitute!<br />
* Unparalleled taste; varieties are chosen and harvested for taste and nutritional value rather than<br />
shelf-life and aesthetics<br />
* Superior quality and value; fairly priced significantly below retail value of same product from<br />
grocer<br />
* Locally grown; investing in our community's people, its resources, and its physical, as well as<br />
economic health<br />
* Fresh, fresh, fresh; from the soil to your dinner table in a day!<br />

The Humboldt Cooperative Creamery, located along the Pacific Coast in far northern California, is a<br />
farmer-owned cooperative. Among their members, about a dozen farms are dedicated to producing<br />
organic milk. With massive amounts of rainfall and high humidity during much of the year, these<br />
producers manage excellent, high-quality pasture, supplementing with irrigation during the dry<br />
season.<br />
Modest in scale compared to most California dairy farms, many of Humboldt's members, milking<br />
hundreds of cows, are quite large when compared to the average organic dairy farm in the United<br />
States. However, they have proven that with excellent management and the right climate, larger<br />
farms can do a wonderful job managing the ecological impacts of dairy farming while providing<br />
excellent quality pastures, resulting in healthy, long-lived cows.<br />
In addition to producing their own brand of organic ice cream, this cooperative also supplies organic<br />
powder and raw milk to other dairy marketers.<br />

Citizen Bean, an online subscription coffee-roaster-of the-month club that offers the "best<br />

With the tagline "Coffee with a Conscience," the San Francisco, Calif. company—which, oddly<br />
enough, has co-opted the Statue of Liberty in its logo—wants to use the niche marketing of specialty<br />
roasts to enable subsistence coffee growers to improve their livelihoods and emerge from poverty.<br />
A portion of Citizen Bean's profits will be donated to a charity of each roaster's choice; the company<br />
also says it uses post-consumer recycled materials in its packaging, shipping, and collateral<br />

Petaluma Bounty is working to create a sustainable Petaluma food system with healthy fresh food<br />
for everyone. Formed in summer 2006 with initial seed funding from the Hub of Petaluma<br />
Foundation, programs include: creating community gardens throughout Petaluma to increase food<br />
self-sufficiency and strengthen community; gleaning fresh, healthy surplus food from backyard<br />
gardens, farms and food businesses for distribution to food pantries and senior centers; and,<br />
creation of an educational urban farm to provide sustainably-grown food to low-income households<br />
at affordable prices, and to educate students and the public about the importance of a healthy local<br />
food system.<br />
In March, 2008, we launched the Bounty Box Food Club as a pilot program at McDowell Elementary<br />
School, providing weekly boxes of organic fruits and vegetables to low income-earning families at<br />
wholesale prices. We plan to expand the Bounty Box program to other schools and locations<br />
beginning in fall, 2008.<br />

the localization option more accessible to the public, and further encourage the growth of our local<br />
food based economic system.<br />

A community garden and farm with an ironic location under the freeway. This farm is run by the<br />
community with a sliding scale farmers' market and farm stand. They grow seasonal vegetables that<br />
are purely organic, but not certified quite yet. The farm is run by a few select employees, but most<br />
everything is grown by volunteers who come on the workdays. Their motto is "Work in, food out" so<br />
volunteers can take home some produce for the work they have done. Veggielution also has a booth<br />
at the downtown farmer's markets and is interested in selling produce to local restaurants.<br />

Good Humus Produce is a small family farm, owned and run by Jeff and Annie Main. We farm 20<br />
acres of certified organic land in a little valley called the Hungry Hollow in Northern California. We<br />
started farming in 1976 after we both graduated from UC Davis and decided we wanted to start<br />
something BIG.<br />
The love of growing food, living on the less traveled path and doing something meaningful came<br />
from generations of strong-minded individuals. Cooperation, communities, social change, food<br />
movement and land stewardship have been our guiding beliefs in one form or another since the<br />
1970's.<br />
We have been selling at the Davis Farmers Market, to wholesalers in the Bay Area, and to the Davis<br />
and Sacramento Food Coops since 1976. In 1993 we started our Community Supported Agriculture<br />
program which has helped to continue our commitment to direct and local marketing.<br />
We have been working for the last 28 years to build from the ground up a family farm that provides<br />
food for people in our community. We have realized that if often takes lifetimes to developed a farm<br />
infrastructure, the buildings and processes that characterize a mature, viable farming unit.<br />
Page 130
<strong>california</strong> guide: csa<br />
Through luck, help, and hard work we have been able to do most of the work of creating such a<br />
farm, but much is still yet to be accomplished. We are now in the process of permanently preserving<br />
Good Humus Farm through an Agricultural Easement . This will facilitate a future of not only<br />
ongoing stewardship and healthy local food production, but also a commitment to community and<br />
place.<br />
Good Humus welcomes researchers to conduct short- and long-term research projects at our farm.<br />
In the past we have had agronomists, biologists, ecologists, and entomologists conducting research<br />
on our farm.<br />

dedicated to sustainable agriculture. Our beef is raised on quality grass pasture year round, never<br />
confined in a feed lot, and we do not finish our cattle on corn. Since our beef is 100% grass fed and<br />
grass finished it has a very healthy Omega-3 to Omega-6 ratio. We do not use pesticides or<br />
chemical fertilizer on our pasture, we do not give our steers growth hormones, and they are not<br />
pumped full of antibiotics. We are committed to providing a superior product that is healthier for you<br />
and your family to eat.<br />

1980 with 1 acre. Over the years, John Givens Farm grew slowly to its present size of 180 acres in<br />
12 locations stretching over 30 miles. Our goal is to provide fresh, local, organic produce of excellent<br />
quality all year long. Our seasons for many items are extended due to the diverse microclimates on<br />
our land. We use innovative methods for cultivating produce, such as nurturing tomats in cold<br />
frames in the winter, which dramatically extends their availability into the cooler months. We plant<br />
many varieties of produce every week of the year. This gives us timely arrivals of seasonal products<br />
with extended growth terms.<br />

San Diego's premiere and premium local Green-Fed Beef CSA. Customers can purchase either<br />
Beef CSA shares or Beef Packages. Green-Fed Beef is superior to both Grass-Fed and Grain-Fed<br />
in both flavor and nutrition. Green-Fed is the new Red (meat, that is).<br />
Sage Mountain Beef is a small herd of Guernsey, Angus, and Holstein cattle. The animals are fed<br />
on a movable feast of grass and post-harvest crops (what Phil calls a "polyface approach").<br />
No animals are ever given artificial growth hormones or stimulants and are guaranteed to be free of<br />
antibiotics. They guarantee their ruminant livestock are 100% green-fed and pasture raised their<br />
entire lives, with no consumption of grain, by-product supplements, or ever setting a hoof within a<br />
confinement feedlot.<br />

Good Humus Produce is a small family farm, owned and run by Jeff and Annie Main. We farm 20<br />
acres of certified organic land in a little valley called the Hungry Hollow in Northern California. We<br />
started farming in 1976 after we both graduated from UC Davis and decided we wanted to start<br />
something BIG.<br />
The love of growing food, living on the less traveled path and doing something meaningful came<br />
from generations of strong-minded individuals. Cooperation, communities, social change, food<br />
movement and land stewardship have been our guiding beliefs in one form or another since the<br />
1970's.<br />
We have been selling at the Davis Farmers Market, to wholesalers in the Bay Area, and to the Davis<br />
and Sacramento Food Coops since 1976. In 1993 we started our Community Supported Agriculture<br />
program which has helped to continue our commitment to direct and local marketing.<br />
We have been working for the last 28 years to build from the ground up a family farm that provides<br />
food for people in our community. We have realized that if often takes lifetimes to developed a farm<br />

infrastructure, the buildings and processes that characterize a mature, viable farming unit.<br />
Through luck, help, and hard work we have been able to do most of the work of creating such a<br />
farm, but much is still yet to be accomplished. We are now in the process of permanently preserving<br />
Good Humus Farm through an Agricultural Easement . This will facilitate a future of not only<br />
ongoing stewardship and healthy local food production, but also a commitment to community and<br />
place.<br />
Good Humus welcomes researchers to conduct short- and long-term research projects at our farm.<br />
In the past we have had agronomists, biologists, ecologists, and entomologists conducting research<br />
on our farm.<br />

Petaluma Bounty is working to create a sustainable Petaluma food system with healthy fresh food<br />
for everyone. Formed in summer 2006 with initial seed funding from the Hub of Petaluma<br />
Foundation, programs include: creating community gardens throughout Petaluma to increase food<br />
self-sufficiency and strengthen community; gleaning fresh, healthy surplus food from backyard<br />
gardens, farms and food businesses for distribution to food pantries and senior centers; and,<br />
creation of an educational urban farm to provide sustainably-grown food to low-income households<br />
at affordable prices, and to educate students and the public about the importance of a healthy local<br />
food system.<br />
In March, 2008, we launched the Bounty Box Food Club as a pilot program at McDowell Elementary<br />
School, providing weekly boxes of organic fruits and vegetables to low income-earning families at<br />
wholesale prices. We plan to expand the Bounty Box program to other schools and locations<br />

A Little Organic Farm is a small, sustainably run family farm nestled amongst the native oak trees on<br />
atop York Mountain, along the coastal range. We grow everything naturally and organically, utilizing<br />
cover cropping, our own organic compost and green manures and by providing beneficial insect<br />
habitat. We never use harmful chemicals, pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers, and we are committed<br />
to local, sustainable foodsheds.<br />
Our herd of dairy goats are cared for lovingly, utilizing natural animal husbandry and holistic<br />
methods. To maintain their optimum health and well-being, we provide natural woodland browsing<br />
and pasture grazing as well as fresh herbs, herbal supplements and tonics. Because our herd is<br />
nature raised, no chemicals, vaccine therapy, antibiotics or artificial substances of any kind are<br />
given.<br />
Our laying hens are fed a fresh, live, organic diet. The flock is much more than free range, as they<br />
are able to forage freely for bugs, grubs, grasses, herbs, seeds and berries.<br />

When Duncan Abbott's hands get dirty, the earth gets a little cleaner. Because while he's<br />
hand-pruning, hand-picking and hand-packaging avocados, his trees are absorbing carbon dioxide<br />
and replenishing oxygen in the air. And since Duncan's avocados are grown close to market, they<br />
go from grove to grocer in just a matter of days, reducing carbon emissions even further. But<br />
Duncan's efforts don't stop there. After decades of sustainable farming, he's seen the power in<br />
working with nature rather than against her. So his trees thrive in all-natural compost. His farm<br />
creates energy rather than consumes it. And his continued research ensures that the land will stay<br />
lush and fruitful for generations to come.<br />

http://www.abundantharvestorganics.com<br />
Just like many of you, our family has been on a journey to live and eat healthy. Which, much to our<br />
dismay, we discovered is extremely expensive to accomplish.<br />
We decided that that was unacceptable especially if we had the ability to improve this struggle for<br />
enhancing health. Thus, our desire for affordable, chemically unaltered food led us to develop<br />
Abundant Harvest Organics. We have uncovered an approach to natural food distribution that will<br />
deliver organic produce at conventional prices within hours of harvest.<br />
Who We Are<br />
Abundant Harvest Organics is an alliance of small family farmers in Central California dedicated to<br />
growing superior organic produce and getting it to you in the simplest manner possible; that is,<br />
without the use of chemicals or packaging materials. We grow locally and supply locally, cutting the<br />
need for expensive and wasteful fuel and packing resources.<br />
Here is what we do best:<br />
* Organic produce only; we don′t substitute!<br />
* Unparalleled taste; varieties are chosen and harvested for taste and nutritional value rather than<br />
shelf-life and aesthetics<br />
Page 168
<strong>california</strong> guide: farmers<br />
* Superior quality and value; fairly priced significantly below retail value of same product from<br />
grocer<br />
* Locally grown; investing in our community's people, its resources, and its physical, as well as<br />
economic health<br />
* Fresh, fresh, fresh; from the soil to your dinner table in a day!<br />

as they grow. We raise Jersey Beef, which is rated #1 for tenderness. Our cuts are smaller but<br />
generous. The beef is also raised without hormones or antibiotics. They feed on pastures in a<br />

Produces Animal Welfare Approved goat milk.<br />
In 1999, Ellen Ochoa bought two goats for each her two daughters for their 4-H project. Each year<br />
the herd of goats grew, until they were milking 20 goats and found themselves running a dairy. In<br />
2005, Jeff Poulos, a high school science teacher, joined the family. Jeff has since retired from<br />
teaching and together they now milk 250 goats and sell all of their milk to their neighbors at<br />
Redwood Hill Creamery, who make award-winning cheese, yogurt and kefir. Ellen and Jeff plan to<br />
create their own line of Alma de Luna Animal Welfare Approved goat cheeses.<br />
Ellen and Jeff say they chose to become Animal Welfare Approved to “show people that animals<br />
can be well taken care of and be profitable.” Alma de Luna Dairy's Alpine, Nubian and La Mancha<br />
goats stay on the farm up to ten years producing milk. AWA certification, Ellen says, “shows the<br />
maintenance and care we give the animals.”<br />
The economics of farming continues to be difficult—staying in business with the high cost of feed is<br />
Alma de Luna's greatest challenge. But Ellen dsn't regret getting those first four goats. “It's a good<br />
life, and we get to live in this beautiful place,” she says.<br />

Compared to most other livestock, the cattle of Amaro Cattle Ranch probably live the finest lives of<br />
all. They roam freely amongst a stunning, 160-acre stretch of pasture and pine in the foothills of the<br />

supplement compose their entire diet. Antibiotics are administered if an animal falls ill, yet<br />
medications are never given on a routine basis. Amaro Cattle Ranch is a small operation, so<br />

Produces Animal Welfare Approved cheese (www.barinagaranch.com)<br />
Marcia Barinaga has deep sheep ranching roots, reaching back beyond her grandfather's arrival on<br />
this continent from Basque country in the early 1900s. Her father moved from the family farm to<br />
upstate New York, but after receiving a degree in biology, Marcia decided to return to those roots.<br />
She bought 800 acres of pastureland in Northern California's beautiful Marin County in 2001. In<br />
2007, Barinaga Ranch got its first sheep and in 2012 will be milking about 80 sheep to produce her<br />
Page 175
<strong>california</strong> guide: farmers<br />
handcrafted sheep's milk cheese, which is a “West Marin interpretation of the Basque cheeses you<br />
can buy from farmhouses in the Basque country. “<br />
Marcia has had to undergo a steep learning curve for sheep ranching and cheese making. With<br />
animal husbandry and cheese-making advice and support from her husband, Corey, a biologist, and<br />
farm management assistance from José Cortes, Marcia enjoys every aspect of her new life as a<br />
rancher. “I love the ranching, book keeping, cheese making,” she says. It's just finding time in the<br />
day for all these things that's a challenge.<br />
Marcia's found that mixing a little Katahdin genetics into her East Friesian herd, a breed known as<br />
excellent dairy sheep, gives them more hardiness without hurting their milk production. Barinaga<br />
Ranch lambs always impress visitors with their vigorous growth. The farmers at Barinaga Ranch<br />
allow lambs to stay on with their mothers for their first month, sacrificing some milk production, to<br />
grow healthy lambs. While her pastures are Certified Organic, her sheep are not because, in<br />
accordance with AWA certification, she administers medicine when her animals need it. “It's AWA<br />
that I'm really proud of,” says Marcia. The standards are completely in line with her practices and<br />
philosophy of high animal welfare and sustainability.<br />

weighs on average 1.4 ounces each between May and September. The Guinea egg shell is much<br />
thicker than the chicken egg shell. When we say œYou really have to whack them to crack them,<br />
we mean it. The yolk is dark in color and large for the size of the egg.<br />

fresh, mild flavor, even in the aged cheeses. They are brought to farmer's markets, natural food<br />

Bodega Pastures is a beautiful 1000-acre sheep ranch located in west Sonoma County just outside<br />
of Bodega, California. Bodega Pastures Sheep are managed in an organic and humane way. We<br />
research and utilize grazing and management methods that protect both sheep and the native<br />
coastal prairie ecosystem. We rotate our flock to avoid damage to land, maintain healthy pastures,<br />
and avoid predators.<br />
Our sheep live a good life on pasture, eating grass and drinking spring water that flows from high on<br />
our ridges. They are not confined. We farm ecologically; we do not overstock our land and we have<br />
fenced our sheep out of our creeks.<br />
We do not spray our fields for weed control nor do we dip our sheep for parasites. We do not inject<br />
our sheep with hormones to increase their rate of weight gain or to make them breed out of season.<br />
We do not routinely give our sheep medication of any kind. Instead we practice natural, ecological,<br />
ethical, sustainable ranching.<br />
Our sheep eat grasses, clover, and forbs. Prior to our midwinter lambing, we supplement our ewes'<br />
feed with hay, which is grown on our ridge spines and bottom fields. Around the time of birth, we<br />
also feed our sheep organic alfalfa hay from California and Oregon, according to the ewes' and<br />
lambs' needs.<br />
Columbia, Corriedale, Romney, Suffolk, and Churro breeds are represented in our flock. Our mixed<br />
flock is bred for wool color and texture, hardiness and meat quality. Our wool is prized by<br />
handspinners, knitters and weavers. The meat is tender and delicious.<br />

reason, and because the farm has established a reputable name for itself amongst customers,<br />
retailers, and chefs, they have decided to forego organic certification. Branigan turkeys are raised in<br />
a free-range setting and feed on certified organic grain. Turkeys can be picked up from the farm or<br />
at various retail outlets throughout central California.<br />

Calico Ranch is a family-run apple and pear orchard located near the historic town of Julian. The<br />
farm has remained in production since it was first planted in the early 1930's. The Young family has<br />
owned the 30 acre orchard for more than nineteen years. As one of the last remaining apple<br />
orchards in the Julian area where the public can enjoy the fun of picking their own fruit, Calico<br />
Ranch offers the possibility of a unique family experience.<br />
Our picking season typically begins around the end of September and lasts through the month of<br />
October.<br />
About Our Apples - More than 130 varieties of apples are grown on-site as well as several varieties<br />
of pears. At Calico Ranch, we implement an integrated pest management system which is a safer,<br />
minimized and wiser use of pesticides and herbicides. We offer a different variety off apples and<br />
pears each weekend depending on which become ripe at that particular time of the season.<br />
Whether you come for the U-Pick experience or just to visit our Easy-pick fruit stand, we hope that<br />
your visit will be a memorable one.<br />

U-pick strawberries at the farm and four farm stands located across Carlsbad.<br />
Our strawberries have been growing at the Cannon Road location in Carlsbad for over 40 years.<br />
The field is approximately 80 acres in size and borders the Batiquitos Lagoon to the east and<br />
Interstate 5 to the west. Our temperate climate in Carlsbad and the proximity to the Pacific Ocean<br />
makes for ideal strawberry growing conditions. The cool marine layer allows us to harvest our<br />
berries into the summer, sometimes until the end of July.<br />
Rain affects strawberry production, as ds wind, freeze and hail. All of these elements also affect the<br />
picking conditions. There are many different aspects to growing a successful crop, and weather is<br />
just one of them. We use a minimal amount of pesticide- and a mild fungicide after times of rain to<br />
prevent problems with moisture.<br />
We also use an Integrated Pest Management system to reduce the use of chemicals. We monitor<br />
every aspect of the farm very carefully, and spray only when absolutely necessary.<br />

Chaffin Family Orchards got its start in the early 1900s, when founder Del Chaffin bought land from<br />
his alma mater, University of California, Berkeley. Looking for a place he could grow a wide variety<br />
of fruit year round, he found the microclimate of his Oroville farm perfect for raising orchard crops,<br />
cattle, sheep and other animals in an environmentally sensitive way. “It's an ideal location; the<br />
climate is mild all year and the soil is rich,” says Carol Albrecht, Del's granddaughter, who runs the<br />
farm with her husband Kurt and sales manager Chris Kerston.<br />
The Albrechts are especially proud of the way the orchards and animals are managed in harmony<br />
with nature to the benefit of the land, the animals, and the environment. According to Chris, “We use<br />
the goats to prune the orchards, cows and sheep to mow and then send in the chickens to debug<br />
and fertilize. We estimate we've been able to reduce our tractor use by about 85%.” Everything is<br />
farmed according to organic standards (although they are not certified), the ruminants are 100%<br />
grassfed and the family uses a rotational grazing system to keep the pastures and animals healthy.<br />
With over 2,000 acres comprised of over 40 different orchard crops and four classes of livestock and<br />
almost the entirety of their products being direct marketed in a face to face consumer transaction,<br />
Chaffin Family Orchards is one of the few farms of their size leading the way on selling direct to the<br />
eater sustainably.<br />

We see ourselves as true livestock people using the best of the animal husbandry practices that do<br />
not rely on antibiotics or artificial growth enhancers. We believe that our animals achieve their<br />
maximum potential with less stress, sound nutrition and a healthy environment. Mother Nature will<br />
sometimes test the latter, but that keeps us constantly working toward improving the ranch.<br />
We believe in agriculture and the promise of a healthy food source - locally grown, and sustainable<br />
for the producer. Having the opportunity to be raised surrounded by agriculture we want to be able<br />
to share the fruits of our labor. We don't have a lot of time to sit in the gazebo looking over the ranch<br />
at the cattle, horses, cats, dogs, the migrating geese or the American Pelican that stops by for a<br />
short respite. But we love what we do.<br />

Produces Animal Welfare Approved beef and pork.<br />
When farmer Guido Frosini began farming at Conlan Ranches - land that has been in his family<br />
since 1867 - he established True Grass Farms with the goal of growing the healthiest, highest<br />
quality foods possible, while maintaining the highest standards of land stewardship and animal<br />
welfare.<br />
Located in Valley Ford, California, True Grass Farms raises AWA-certified Black Angus cattle and<br />
California Kobe cattle, a Japanese breed renowned for their flavor and tenderness. They also<br />
currently hold the distinction of having the largest organic full-blood Wagyu cattle herd in California.<br />
The farm's pastures are also home to AWA-certified American Guinea and Blackworth hogs.<br />
True Grass Farms' commitment to maintaining healthy and diverse grassland is founded on a<br />
process of rotational grazing that involves the stewardship of the pasture as an entire ecosystem.<br />
This approach mimics the effect wild grazing animals have as they move across the land, which in<br />
turn results in more grass, wildflowers, songbirds and insects. Guido explains that the wide variety of<br />
grasses that the animals graze has a great impact on the flavor and quality of their beef and pork<br />
products.<br />
Another important focus at True Grass Farms is their interaction with their customers. “We believe<br />
that education and open communication between consumers and producers is vital to a healthier<br />
food system,” explains Guido. “Not only do we offer local and sustainable products at various<br />
Bay-area farmers' markets, but we are also the people selling our products at the booth. We always<br />
encourage our customers to ask us questions about our products - and their feedback is always<br />
welcome.”<br />
True Grass Farms also offer a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), where customers can<br />
subscribe to receive a regular monthly supply of fresh meat. Frequent farm tours and luncheons also<br />
provide a way for local customers to get more involved with the day-to-day activities on the farm. For<br />

Contact: George and Gale Cunningham<br />
http://www.cunninghamorganicfarm.com/<br />
George and Gale Cunningham moved with their family to the beautiful DeLuz Canyon, north of<br />
Fallbrook, in 1974. They set out to become farmers. Not being farm-savvy enough to grow with<br />
conventional methods of farming (using chemicals and pesticides), they decided to grow organically.<br />
It was their personal endeavor at the time, and remains so today, to grow the best-tasting, most<br />
nutritious food available anywhere and it's all natural. In the beginning, finding a market for organic<br />
produce was difficult. “All this great food and we didn't know where to sell it,” explains George.<br />
“Packing houses and supermarkets did not want to deal with small farmers, but we kept planting<br />
acres of new and different products that we though would be valuable to consumers.” Then in the<br />
early 1980s, farmers' markets eased into San Diego County areas. Certified Farmers' Markets<br />
highlight California-grown produce from local farmers and became the perfect outlet for Cunningham<br />
Organic Farm to reach food-lovers in the area. COF products can found at the Old Town Temecula<br />
Farmers' Market on Saturday mornings that is managed by Gale Cunningham. In the late 1980s<br />
COF connected with distributors for their products: Earl's Organics of San Francisco and Organically<br />
Grown Co. and New Seasons Produce of Portland, Oregon. COF has been shipping weekly to<br />
these fine companies ever since. More recently, with the rise of the local food movement, COF has<br />
been connected with Crows Pass Farm. Crows Pass delivers COF's fruit to chefs in San Diego<br />
restaurants, so George is confident that his food is finally reaching the people who appreciate it<br />
most!<br />

Our herd, bred exclusively for beef and according to sustainable organic agricultural practices, is a<br />
closed herd to maximize animal health and well-being. Because we keep our animals healthy and<br />
happy, they produce a healthy and tasty meat. And because our animals are grass-fed, the meat is<br />
lower in calories than meat from grain-fed steer. Grass-fed beef is also rich in heart supporting<br />
Omega-3 fatty acids, and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), found to help prevent and fight cancer.<br />
Our herd is comprised of Black Angus and Murray Grey breeding stock and calves, selected for<br />
generations for their superior qualities and well-marbled, savory, tender beef. To assure the<br />
healthiest beef you can eat, we treat each of our animals kindly and with respect, keeping detailed<br />
records for each one of them. Our beef is produced the healthy way -- on a family farm, from a<br />
healthy herd, for a local market, at a fair price. That's how it's good for you, good for the community<br />
and good for the land.<br />
Our meat is available in the late summer and fall. Purchases may be made or information obtained<br />
by calling our ranch or by e-mail. Advance orders may be taken during the year and are available by<br />
half, whole or multiples, cut to your specifications. It is also available seasonally at a local store.<br />

generations of the Draper family have been operating the farm together.<br />
Among the heirloom vegetables are dozens of varieties of tomato, eggplant, and pepper. Carrots,<br />
squash, corn, beans, beets, herbs and leaf vegetables are cultivated organically as well - often in<br />
unusual varietals. New crops are introduced every year, such as Siberian tomats or soybeans.<br />
Some organic herb plants (like Greek oregano) are sometimes available. Special plots, such as<br />
cotton or peanuts, are planted for the visits of school children from the local community. Produce is<br />
offered for sale to restaurants and caterers. Public access to the farm is through a Community<br />
Supported Agriculture (CSA) project; membership is open, and there are no initiation fees. Members<br />
usually harvest the reasonably priced fresh organic food for themselves. Local untreated honey is<br />
also produced from a small apiary, and a flock of hens provide free run eggs.<br />

When Drew and Myra Goodman came to California's Carmel Valley in 1984, they were determined<br />
Page 206
<strong>california</strong> guide: farmers<br />
young transplants from Manhattan, drawn to the natural beauty and richness of the land. Even<br />
before they turned over their first shovels full of soil, they believed strongly in doing the right thing.<br />
They settled on a 2.5-acre raspberry farm and decided that doing the right thing meant committing<br />
to farming this spectacular land organically, producing food they would want to eat themselves and<br />
would feel good about serving their families, friends, and neighbors. Their labor of love became<br />
Earthbound Farm.<br />
It wasn't long before Earthbound Farm was doing a lot of the right things. Undaunted by those who<br />
said it couldn't be done, in 1986 we became the first company to successfully launch prewashed,<br />
packaged salad for retail sale. When we introduced our mixed baby greens or “spring mix” to<br />
restaurants and supermarket produce aisles, we started a salad revolution. Today, gourmet salad<br />
greens and packaged salads have become staples of grocery baskets everywhere.<br />
We've been farming for 25 years now, and we've become the world's largest grower of organic<br />
produce. But our roots remain strong: our founders still guide the company, and our original<br />
commitment to farming organically has never wavered. We're dedicated to bringing the benefits of<br />
organic food — fresh, flavorful, and healthy — to as many people as possible.<br />
At Earthbound Farm, our unwavering commitment to organic farming comes from our concern for<br />
health. Farming organically helps keep our consumers and our environment healthy by avoiding the<br />
use of harmful chemicals. Organic farming focuses on building the fertility of the soil with natural<br />
materials, resulting in rich, vital field ecosystems that produce fruits and vegetables as pure and<br />
healthy as they were intended to be.<br />
Our farm-fresh organic salads, fruits, and vegetables are chosen by millions of people every day in<br />
supermarkets across North America and beyond — we're delighted to be sharing our passion with<br />
you in every delicious bite of Earthbound Farm organic produce.<br />

Ed Chavez grows his cherries, peaches, nectarines and apricots for the fullest possible flavor,<br />
picking only when the fruit has ripened to perfection on the trees.<br />
He and his family have been selling top-quality fruit to discriminating customers at the best Bay Area<br />
farmers' markets for more than 20 years, and have been in the forefront of developing the<br />
market-going public's appreciation of delicious tree-ripened stone fruits.<br />
Ed farms about 125 acres of cherries, apricots, peaches, nectarines, plums, apples and almonds<br />
with the help of about 6 to 8 full time workers. At harvest time, he contracts with crews of 20 or so<br />
workers to pick the fruit by hand. He uses few chemicals in his farming, trying to move toward<br />
sustainable practices, but has not been able to certify the farm as organic because of pest<br />
pressures to the cherries and almonds. The stone fruit harvests begin in mid to late May and last<br />
through September, with new varieties ripening almost every week. Ed is constantly experimenting,<br />
grafting, and developing new combinations to delight his customers. In the fall, EGB Farms harvests<br />
almonds and crisp Granny Smith and Fuji apples.<br />
Growers' Collaborative is pleased to be able to extend the availability of EGB Farms' delicious fruits<br />
to schools, universities, health care facilities, and other institutional kitchens.<br />

for shipping or baskets/large glass jars for local delivery. This insures quality and freshness as well<br />

Jesse and Hannah Fouch run a cattle operation in California where some might say they do the<br />
impossible. “Our goal is to produce quality products while improving our environment at the same<br />
time,” Jesse explains. This means they take a holistic approach to ranching, from keeping their farm<br />
in the family to raising heritage breed Dexter cattle. Their entire herd is raised on pasture, even<br />
when they are being finished for market. They graze in harmony with the land producing lush<br />
landscapes on the farm, and are given the lowest stress living environment possible. Jesse and<br />
Hannah like to sell their products locally, direct to consumers, to ensure its quality as well as to<br />
support the local economy. For a sustainable future they feel local, healthy food needs to be<br />
available to communities and they plan to continue offering humane, pasture-raised meat in<br />
Mariposa County to meet that demand.<br />

Produces Animal Welfare Approved chicken eggs.<br />
Nick Rupiper and his partners Ross Cannard and DeeAnn Freitas raise Animal Welfare Approved<br />
laying hens at Fowler Creek Farm in Sonoma, CA. Fowler Creek raises mostly Australorps, Buff<br />
Orpingtons, Cuckoo Marans and Americanas, all breeds producing a variety of beautifully colored<br />
eggs. Nick says the different egg colors are a hit with their customers and they make sure they put<br />
a variety of egg colors in each carton. Often times the colorful eggs may be on display at such<br />
restaurants as Chez Panisse in Berkeley and Boulette's Larder in San Francisco.<br />
When asked how most farmers got their start there is usually a link to childhood or history of farming<br />
in the family, but Nick's entry into the farming world was much more spontaneous. In fact, Nick<br />
hadn't even considered getting chickens until the morning he actually went out and purchased four<br />
chickens. Two days later he got eight more chickens. Soon he found himself with 150 chickens and<br />
now Fowler Creek is on its way to having nearly 1,000 laying hens!<br />
While Nick's beginnings in the chicken world may sound a little out of the ordinary, he credits his<br />
start as a “backyard chicken guy” or “chicken enthusiast” with giving him a closer connection to his<br />
chickens. He looks at how his farm operates from the chickens' perspective in order to make sure<br />
they're the happiest they can be. Nick, Ross and DeeAnn designed the farm with the intention of<br />
giving the chickens the ability to roam in a variety of environments - woodlands, orchards and fields.<br />
Nick says, “The bottom line isn't about money, it's about making the chickens the happiest.”<br />
On his reasons for applying for AWA certification, Nick said, “They're doing what I want to do. And<br />
these people are chicken obsessed too. Those are strict standards…They give my enthusiasm for<br />
chickens some validity. Nick went on to say, “It seemed like no one else was helping out the smaller<br />
farmer. That's why I was really attracted to AWA… I wanted to be part of a bigger scheme and<br />
spread the word.”<br />
Nick Rupiper is not only a chicken enthusiast/farmer. He is also a drummer in “The Farm Band.”<br />
There was a time when his chickens conflicted with band practice. Nick would say, “I can't go to<br />
band practice because I have to put the chickens away!” Luckily, Nick was able to convince his<br />
band mates that they couldn't very well call themselves “The Farm Band” if they weren't going to<br />
accommodate his chicken schedule. Now band practice is scheduled around the chickens' needs.<br />

Our family has been growing citrus in the Ojai Valley for over 100 years! Throughout this time our<br />
operation has gone through a lot of changes, expansions and cuts as well as changes in the fruit we<br />
grow and how we sell it.<br />
We currently attend four farmers' markets in Southern California year-round as well as selling<br />
directly from our packinghouse and through our on-line mail order. We also sell our tangerines to<br />
wholesalers throughout California.<br />
Our goal is to grow, pack and sell the best fruit we can that you, the consumer, demand. We hope<br />
you find our fruit as delicious as we do! As the customer, you ultimately decide what we grow and<br />
sell. We always appreciate your input.<br />
We truly are a small family farm, operated by 4 family members, 4 employees, as well as the input of<br />
the our new fifth generation of tangerine eaters (Matthew, Andrew, Mariana, Oliver and Celeste)!<br />

Full Belly Farm is a 200-acre certified organic farm located in the beautiful Capay Valley of Northern<br />
California, an hour northwest of Sacramento. Full Belly has been farmed using organic practices<br />
Page 222
<strong>california</strong> guide: farmers<br />
since 1985 and is certified by California Certified Organic Farmers.<br />
The farm owners are Andrew Brait, Paul Muller, Judith Redmond, and Dru Rivers. With help from<br />
about 25 to 30 employees, the farm produces an amazing diversity of vegetables, herbs, nuts,<br />
flowers, and fruits year-round. The farm also has a flock of chickens, a herd of sheep, and several<br />
cows.<br />
Full Belly's system includes: growing and marketing over 80 different crops; providing year-round<br />
employment for farm labor; using cover crops that fix nitrogen and provide organic matter for the<br />
soil; developing innovative marketing strategies; and planting habitat areas for beneficial insects and<br />
wildlife.<br />
This set of strategies allows the farm to integrate farm production with longer-term environmental<br />
goals.Full Belly products are marketed both wholesale and retail. We sell to restaurants, at farmers<br />
markets and through a Community Supported Agriculture project, or CSA.<br />
Both the CSA and the farmers markets forge a direct connection between the farm and the people<br />
who buy and eat its produce. Through the CSA, individuals can receive a weekly share of produce<br />
through the year.<br />
By belonging to the CSA, members support organic farming practices that are healthful for people<br />
and the environment. They also have the opportunity to eat the freshest, most nutritional produce<br />
available.<br />
CSA members receive boxes of fresh produce delivered to convenient neighborhood locations in the<br />
East Bay, South Bay, and San Rafael, as well as in Sacramento, Davis, Woodland, and Esparto.<br />
For a small additional fee, boxes can also be delivered right to a member's door on Tuesday and<br />
Wednesday in selected East Bay locations.Full Belly is also home to many outreach activities,<br />
including educational tours, school group visits, and the much-acclaimed annual Hs Down Harvest<br />
Festival.<br />
The Hs Down Festival celebrates rural life and educates the public about growing food in a<br />
sustainable manner. Through such programs to the general public, Full Belly seeks to create<br />
awareness of farm realities and to stress the importance of farms in the fabric of our society.<br />

Point Reyes Farmstead is the home of Original Blue, California's only classic style blue cheese. Bob<br />
Giacomini began milking cows on his Point Reyes dairy in 1959. Over the years, Bob and his wife<br />
Dean, together with their four daughters, Karen, Diana, Lynn and Jill, developed a shared vision of<br />
bringing an all-natural farmstead product directly from their ranch to the consumer's table. This<br />
dream was realized in August, 2000 when they founded Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Company<br />
and produced the first vat of Original Blue.<br />
Produced from a closed herd of Holstein cows that graze freely year-round on green pastures<br />
overlooking the Tomales Bay, the cheese is made within hours of milking and then aged for six<br />
months.<br />
The company's mission is plain and simple: to produce the nation's premier brand of high-end, blue<br />
table cheese. Point Reyes Farmstead cheese is available at stores and restaurants across<br />
California, or customers can order directly from the dairy. Visit the website for more information.<br />

provides them with wild flora - untouched by chemicals - to browse. Their milk is harvested and<br />

Good Humus Produce is a small family farm, owned and run by Jeff and Annie Main. We farm 20<br />
acres of certified organic land in a little valley called the Hungry Hollow in Northern California. We<br />
started farming in 1976 after we both graduated from UC Davis and decided we wanted to start<br />
something BIG.<br />
The love of growing food, living on the less traveled path and doing something meaningful came<br />
from generations of strong-minded individuals. Cooperation, communities, social change, food<br />
movement and land stewardship have been our guiding beliefs in one form or another since the<br />
1970's.<br />
We have been selling at the Davis Farmers Market, to wholesalers in the Bay Area, and to the Davis<br />
and Sacramento Food Coops since 1976. In 1993 we started our Community Supported Agriculture<br />
program which has helped to continue our commitment to direct and local marketing.<br />
We have been working for the last 28 years to build from the ground up a family farm that provides<br />
food for people in our community. We have realized that if often takes lifetimes to developed a farm<br />
infrastructure, the buildings and processes that characterize a mature, viable farming unit.<br />
Through luck, help, and hard work we have been able to do most of the work of creating such a<br />
farm, but much is still yet to be accomplished. We are now in the process of permanently preserving<br />
Good Humus Farm through an Agricultural Easement . This will facilitate a future of not only<br />
ongoing stewardship and healthy local food production, but also a commitment to community and<br />
place.<br />
Good Humus welcomes researchers to conduct short- and long-term research projects at our farm.<br />
In the past we have had agronomists, biologists, ecologists, and entomologists conducting research<br />
on our farm.<br />

Green Gulch Farm is a five-acre agricultural oasis located on the Green Gulch Zen Center in Muir<br />
Beach. Since all the farmhands are practicing Buddhists, a typical day here starts with the crew<br />
gathering at 5am to meditate. After breakfast and a short break, they're off to the fields by 8:30 and<br />
soon thereafter, the rumbling purr of the tractor and the sweet smell of biodiesel fill the air.<br />
Depending on the season, between four and twelve people will be in the fields each day and one of<br />
them is sure to be Farm Manager Matt Vivrett. Organically certified since 1985, this carefully-tended<br />
land produces an abundance of lettuces, potats, chard and green garlic. About half of what is grown<br />
here is sold at the San Francisco Ferry Plaza Farmers Market, and the other half is divided between<br />
Greens Restaurant in San Francisco and the 50-100 meals they serve each day at Green Gulch.<br />
Eventually, all the kitchen scraps from the practice center, plus all of those from Greens Restaurant,<br />
return to the farm and are made into compost, where they will be reborn as next year's crop.<br />

located in neighboring counties. Each field has a unique microclimate and soil structure, creating a<br />
multitude of growing conditions for our wide array of row crops chosen and planted specifically for<br />
each region and the changing seasons.<br />
All crops are harvested, washed and packed by hand. We personally deliver this produce to farmers'<br />
markets, local restaurants and grocery locations throughout the greater bay area, always in the peak<br />
of its freshness. Some of our signature crops includes pre-washed baby mixed salad greens with<br />
edible flowers, tender leafy greens, juicy specialty melons, flavorful heirloom and dry-farmed tomats<br />
Page 233

We strongly believe that the only way to produce our quality goat cheese is to have happy, healthy<br />
goats. We started with only 6 American Alpine goats, and we now have a herd of 220! They are<br />
lovingly dubbed "The Cheese Makers," as they are the ones who provide us with their rich, sweet<br />
milk.<br />
During the day the goats enjoy grazing freely in our bountiful pastures to their hearts content. We<br />
milk the goats twice daily, in the early morning and early evening. Before the evening milking, the<br />
goats relax in a spacious paddock where they enjoy their favorite mix of grains.<br />
Harley Farms Goat Cheese can be purchased at the farm's store. Farm tours are also available from<br />

about 40 miles south of San Francisco. Our mission is to inspire a just and sustainable future<br />
through our programs, land and legacy.<br />
Hidden Villa was founded by Frank and Josephine Duveneck, who purchased the land in 1924 and<br />
offered it as a gathering place for discussion, reflection, and incubation of social reform. Over the<br />
following decades, the Duvenecks established the first Hostel on the Pacific Coast (1937), the first<br />
multiracial summer camp (1945), and Hidden Villa's Environmental Education Program (1970). The<br />
Trust for Hidden Villa was established as a nonprofit in 1960.<br />
Every year 30,000 people participate in one of our formal programs. An additional 20,000 visitors<br />
come to our preserve annually to explore our farm and gardens or to hike on our eight miles of trails.<br />
Our constituents cover a wide spectrum of age, physical ability, geography, ethnicity, cultural and<br />
socio-economic backgrounds and our organic farm, rustic barns, newer sustainable structures and<br />
pristine riparian, woodland and chaparral wilderness provide opportunities to experience the beauty<br />
of our environment on a first hand basis.<br />

cattle were raised in the LaMorinda Hills as well as in Danville using rotational grazing practices<br />
designed to optimize the health of the native grasslands using natural methods. We handle our<br />
animals humanely, using techniques developed by leading animal behavior experts.<br />
The beef is processed and inspected by the USDA at a small, family-owned plant. It is dry-aged for<br />
approximately 30 days, then cut, wrapped and frozen. Holding Ranch uses its portable freezer<br />
facility to transport the beef directly to farmers markets in Walnut Creek, Moraga, Orinda, Montclair,<br />
and Pleasanton.<br />

Animal Welfare Approved Beef. Call or email for information on purchasing. Look for the<br />
"Homegrown Meats" label.<br />
Jl Mendenhall of Mendenhall Cattle Company raises Animal Welfare Approved beef cattle on the<br />
oak-lined meadows of Palomar Mountain in southern California. As Jl explains, “The choice to eat<br />
grassfed beef is a choice to improve the welfare of the animals; decrease air, land and water<br />
pollution; aid family ranchers in their quest to provide a better product; and feed your family a<br />
superior, delicious and more nutritious food.”<br />
The herd of Black Angus/Hereford cross cattle have been specifically bred, and are perfectly suited<br />
to the mountain landscape. After about a year of reaching mature weight, the cows are moved to the<br />
family-owned finishing ranch where they graze on even more native, natural, and organic grasses.<br />
They are never given hormones, unnecessary antibiotics, or corn-based feed.<br />
Mendenhall Cattle Company's products (including grassfed beef hot dogs) can be purchased at the<br />
farm's own butcher shop, Homegrown Meats, in La Jolla, California. For more information about<br />
these products and the benefits of grassfed beef, visit the website at: www.homegrownmeats.com.<br />

Perhaps the most appropriate word to describe Hulsman Ranch would be continuity. The ranch has<br />
been in the same family since 1862; ownership can be traced through Hannah Tangeman's mother<br />
all the way back to her great-grandfather. This same theme of continuity can be applied to the<br />
animals as well. In keeping with a true closed system, or as Hannah calls it "a continuous chain," all<br />
of the sheep and cattle are born and raised on the farm. Nothing, aside from the occasional bull for<br />
breeding, is brought in from off-site.<br />
Not much has changed since the ranch's founding. The animals are raised in much the same way<br />
as they would have been over a century ago “out on pasture, feasting on their natural diet of native<br />
grasses." In the winter, they even eat hay produced on the ranch. They are never fed grain and are<br />
never supplemented with hormones or antibiotics.<br />
Grass-fed beef and lamb are available for purchase from farmers' markets in Quincy (Thursdays,<br />
5pm to 8pm) and Susanville (Saturdays, 8am to noon). The meat is sold frozen and vacuum packed<br />
in a wide variety of cuts from steaks to roasts to stew meats to just about anything else you can<br />
think of. Customers are welcome to place special orders.<br />

Produces Animal Welfare Approved beef<br />
Steve and Marci Jacobs, along with their twin sons and daughter, raise Animal Welfare Approved<br />
registered Angus and Angus cross cattle in Healdsburg, CA. Both Steve and Marci have been in<br />
agriculture most of their lives and are graduates from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. It was a natural fit<br />
for them to start their own farm with their family's old line lineage of beef cattle that has been in the<br />
family for generations.<br />
In 2000, the Jacobs began with only five or six cows and they've grown slowly over the years to be<br />
what J Brand Cattle is today. The Jacobs are proud that they let their business grow slowly and<br />
naturally. They are very careful about managing their growth to keep up with retailer demands.<br />
Steve says, “It's really growing into a viable business.”<br />
Something that drew the Jacobs to raising natural grassfed beef is the idea of having control over<br />
the animal from birth to death and taking care of the animal in the best way possible. Steve really<br />
takes a lot of satisfaction in having his own bulls,calves, and replacement heifers. Steve says, “We<br />
do everything we can to give our cattle the best life possible and we see the results. We're really<br />
proud to be a sustainable ranch that dsn't breed the heifers until they're 24 months.”<br />
On applying for AWA certification, Steve says, “When I read AWA's guidelines it was an easy<br />
decision for us to apply. AWA's philosophy is how I to do everything anyway… AWA is very animal<br />
oriented, but also common sense farming oriented as well. It's a good marriage between the two.”<br />
Steve and Marci are also active in giving back to the community. Marci is former president and is<br />
still very involved with the Healdsburg Future Farmers County Fair. Steve is on the board of the<br />
directors for the California Cattlemen's Association (Sonoma Marin Chapter), while Marci is on the<br />
board of directors for the California Cattlewomen's Association (Sonoma Marin Chapter).<br />
In their spare time, the Jacobs enjoy horses and skiing. Of course, most of their time is spent with<br />
their three children. Steve said, “It's really rewarding to work on the ranch with our kids. I can see<br />
as our family grows that the ranch will always be something we can come back to as a family, to<br />
farm and ranch together.”<br />

Our chickens have acccess to pasture all day every day. Not only is this a more humane way to<br />
raise chickens (and a very effective way to develop fertile, productive pastures!), it also means that<br />
the chickens exercise more, and have a more varied diet, which makes for a better tasting bird.<br />
The feed we use is custom milled and blended by Cold Springs Farm, a certified organic farm and<br />
feed mill in Sharon Springs, New York. All grains in the feed are produced by local organic farmers.<br />
We believe in supporting local organic growers for the health of our region's soil and economy. We<br />
also believe that the feed we use is best for producing healthy,flavorful chickens, which lead to<br />
healthier, happier customers!<br />
The chickens we raise are bred from classic Burgundian and Breton varieties. As well as being<br />
energetic foragers, and growing well on pasture, they are slower growing than the Cornish crosses<br />
usually used for commercial broiler production. Slower growing birds are slightly costlier to raise, but<br />
they suffer many fewer health problems and produce a fuller-flavored bird with a better texture. The<br />
variety we raise has been used with great success for many years in Europe to meet the exacting<br />
Label Rouge standard.<br />

Our cattle graze on well tended pastures scattered with native oak trees and are never confined to<br />
crowded and unsanitary feed yards. They live peaceful and natural lives. We tend them with<br />
humane, low stress methods to insure that their health and nutrition are the best.<br />
Our beef eat only grass with occasional small amounts of hay. They are not fed grain, antibiotics,<br />
hormones or other growth stimulants. When you taste our delicious, tender, and juicy USDA<br />
inspected beef, you can be assured that you and your family are receiving the best nutrition and<br />
healthiest food available.<br />
We finish our beef on natural spring grasses, only haravesting one time per year. This maximizes<br />
the grass fed benefits.<br />

Michelle Leisen and her husband Chris Cornilsen, along with Michelle's parents Janet and Corrie<br />
Leisen, raise Animal Welfare Approved laying hens (Buff Orpingtons, Plymouth Barred Rock, Black<br />
Australorp, Americanas, Silver Laced Wyandotte) at the completely solar powered Leisen Family<br />
Farm in Santa Rosa, CA. Michelle has been connected to farm animals since childhood raising<br />
lambs, rabbits and dairy cows for 4H and Future Farmers of America. And while the Leisen family<br />
has been farming in Sonoma County for 100 years, this is Michelle's first endeavor into “the chicken<br />
department” as she calls it, only raising hens since 2010.<br />
After Michelle had her twins, she started really thinking about their nutrition and what they were<br />
eating. She wanted to have the healthiest eggs possible so she started raising her own hens. She<br />
is most proud that the care she takes in raising her hens makes her feel completely comfortable<br />
feeding these AWA eggs to her babies. Michelle said, “That's how comfortable I am with my hens.<br />
They're out being hens. I'm so comfortable that I'm feeding the eggs to my babies.” She jokes that,<br />
“They're an absolute pain in the butt because they're up on the hill, in my backyard, just being<br />
chickens.” But, of course, she really ds love that the hens are all over the place.<br />
Michelle and her family applied for AWA certification after reading an article in the local newspaper<br />
talking about all of the different egg labels out there. She said, “They mentioned AWA had the<br />
highest level of humane and environmental standards. I looked into it and I was already doing those<br />
things. I wanted to share with my customers how good a life my gals have.” Michelle went on to<br />
say that customers are very enthused that Leisen Family Farm's eggs are AWA certified and that<br />
“Sonoma County is the perfect place for this to happen.”<br />

Gail Lennon has been raising cattle at Lennon Ranch for over 35 years. It's taken her that long, she<br />
says, to develop the high quality, certified organic beef she has today. Starting with just one<br />
Guernsey cow, the herd has now grown to a good size that provides certified organic beef<br />
year-round to customers. Although she's been certified since 2002, the operation has basically been<br />
organic since it first began- never using hormones or routine antibiotics and raising the cattle out on<br />
pasture.<br />
Customers are invited to pick-up their orders from the farm directly. Beef is usually sold in half and<br />
quarter cuts. It is suggested that orders be placed at least a month in advance.<br />

Raises Animal Welfare Approved bison.<br />
In 1993, as a newly engaged couple, Kathy and Ken Lindner discussed the possibility of raising<br />
bison together in their retirement based on a very memorable bison burger Kathy had eaten six<br />
years earlier. After four years of research, they bought their first bison at the industry's highest price<br />
point and over the next decade, watched commercial breeders go out of business as prices steadily<br />
decreased.<br />
Ken and Kathy risked everything to buy an irrigated 225-acre alfalfa and grass hay farm, which they<br />
call Heritage Ranch, in Northeastern California. Believing that there was no reason to raise the<br />
animals if there was no market for the meat, they concentrated on selling grassfed bison meat. They<br />
relied heavily on direct marketing, which allowed them to build relationships with their customers<br />
over years. Now, their customers are no longer shy about asking questions and telling their friends<br />
about the benefits of sustainably-raised bison meat.<br />
The Lindners' grassfed bison operation takes into account the nature of the species from birth to<br />
slaughter. In doing so, they let calves self-wean, allow animals to live in family groups, slaughter on<br />
farm, rotationally graze their bison, and manage their pastures without the use of chemicals.<br />
Becoming Animal Welfare Approved was a simple extension of these practices because AWA's<br />
species-specific standards for bison are both realistic and rigorous.<br />
The Lindners continue to learn from their bison and the customers they see every week. Together,<br />
Kathy and Ken wrote a book covering many of the things they have learned. The project was mostly<br />
accomplished on a laptop in the car on the drive to and from the ranch over a three-year period.<br />
Standing into the Storm covers their “18-year journey of discovery and determination to secure a life<br />
outside of industry/corporate America, beyond mergers, layoffs, up-sizing and down-sizing.” To view<br />
a sample from their book and to order, visit http://lindnerbison.com/book.html.<br />

Instead of the "mono-culture" that has emerged in the Napa Valley, at Long Meadow Ranch we<br />
have developed an integrated farming system that relies on each part of the Ranch contributing to<br />
the health of the whole. Long Meadow Ranch is an innovative organic farming operation and<br />
purveyor of fine foods.<br />
Located high above the Napa Valley on the picturesque slopes of the Mayacamas Mountains, Long<br />
Meadow Ranch produces extraordinary red wine, extra virgin olive oil, grass-fed beef, organic eggs,<br />
and heirloom fruits and vegetables for Napa Valley's finest restaurants.<br />
We focus on raising outstanding breeding for our beef. Scotch Highland beef is considered by many<br />
to be the best in the world and is even raised by the British royal family for its own consumption. In<br />
keeping with Long Meadow Ranch's organic practices, our beef is chemical-free, hormone-free and<br />
antibiotic-free.<br />
We make our own fertilizers on the Ranch through an extensive composting operation that relies on<br />
organic material from each segment of the Ranch. Soil erosion is controlled, and new soils are built<br />
through the extensive use of permanent cover crops made up of carefully selected grasses, clovers,<br />
and legumes. We do not use herbicides or pesticides and all crops are produced in accordance with<br />
the California Organic Foods Act of 1990.<br />
Long Meadow Ranch beef and eggs are available for sale at the Saint Helena Farmers Market,<br />
through the ranch's website (beef only!) and also on Saturdays from April to October at the LMR<br />

http://www.drakesbayoyster.com/<br />
Kevin Lunny grew up on the 1,500 acre ranch on the Pt. Reyes peninsula that he now shares with<br />
his parents J and Joan, wife Nancy and their teenage triplets. Back then it was a dairy, and Kevin,<br />
his two brothers and three sisters began working with cows as soon as they could walk. In the<br />
1970's Mr. Lunny Sr. converted the operation from dairy to beef, switching from milk to meat<br />
production. However, during the 1980's and '90s when economic pressures began squeezing the<br />
beef industry, the family was almost forced to leave the ranch.<br />
Then, just a few years ago, Kevin decided to take a chance and convert the herd to grass-fed and<br />
organic. Today, Lunny Ranch holds the largest acreage of organic pasture in Marin County. In<br />
order to diversify his operation, he also planted 5 acres of artichokes, the very kind that used to<br />
grow in that region before it became a National Park.<br />
Lunny Ranch's organic beef is sold at the Point Reyes Farmers Market, as well as directly from the<br />
Ranch. Call for more information about pricing and availability. Orders can be picked up at the<br />
ranch, or shipping can be arranged.<br />

Kevin and Nancy Lunny raise Animal Welfare Approved beef cattle on their farm, Lunny Ranch, in<br />
Inverness, CA. The Lunny Family has been producing high quality farm products in Marin County<br />
since the beginning of the 20th century. Kevin and Nancy's work is driven by their belief that grass<br />
feeding results in a healthier, more sustainable, and better tasting product. They ensure that their<br />
livestock have continuous and unconfined access to pasture.<br />
Higher levels of “good fat,” lower amounts of overall fat, and more Omega-3's and vitamin E are just<br />
a few of the benefits of grassfed beef. The way in which it improves the lives of the animal--by<br />
allowing them to indulge in natural ruminant behavior--and the health of our environment, are further<br />
reasons why Kevin and Nancy are proud of the product they produce.<br />
Situated at the heart of Point Reyes National Seashore, Lunny Ranch is bordered by the Pacific<br />
Ocean on one side, and the expansive waters of the Drakes estuary (Drakes Estero), on the other.<br />
It is a truly picturesque spot where cattle are raised sustainably and humanely, keeping the health of<br />
all, the environment, the animal and the consumer, in mind.<br />

Our goal is to provide the best and freshest quality produce direct to the consumer for the greatest<br />

ranch in Sunset Magazine, identifying Manas Ranch peaches as The Best Peaches in the West. We<br />
liked that, and made it our motto!<br />
We grow apricots, cherries, and five different varieties of peaches, and we are looking at adding<br />
other new varieties of stone fruits in the future.<br />
We strive to produce the best tasting fruit there is. All of our fruit is grown insecticide-free. Instead of<br />
spraying chemicals, we utilize an integrated pest management system that has "good" bugs waging<br />
war on the bugs that would damage the orchard.<br />

land because it had plenty of water and was close to markets and restaurants. It also had really<br />
healthy looking weeds and he knew that was a good sign. This is the kind of thing he learned from<br />
his grandmother, who always nurtured and encouraged the volunteers that sprouted up in her<br />
garden. Inspired by her, he studied agriculture at Humboldt State University. With what we've seen<br />
him do in the last two years, we're all looking forward to seeing what he's done by the time he's 40.<br />

Erik and Doniga Markegard raise Animal Welfare Approved grassfed Belted Galloway and Black<br />
Angus cattle in Half Moon Bay, CA. Erik started his own cattle ranch in 1985, but his family has<br />
been farming for six generations! And as a sixth generation cattle rancher, having a family owned<br />
and operated farm is extremely important. Erik and Doniga strive to include their kids in the<br />
business and hope to pass the family business on to the next generation.<br />
The Markegards are proud of their watershed stewardship and they consider keeping the soil and<br />
water clean to be foremost priorities in their farming practices. They don't use any herbicides or<br />
pesticides and they treat their animals humanely. Doniga says, “Improving wildlife biodiversity is<br />
Page 264
<strong>california</strong> guide: farmers<br />
also very important to us. I come from a wildlife background. We think it's important to have wildlife<br />
corridors and to use the cattle as a tool to improve wildlife habitat.”<br />
When asked why they decided to become Animal Welfare Approved, Doniga said, “I just believe in<br />
all the practices and it's free,” she laughs. Doniga gs on to say, “It's great to have the label, but at<br />
this point in time we don't necessarily need any value-added because we sell out of our product<br />
immediately. But I'm looking towards the future. I know more and more people are asking for<br />
verification of farming practices. It's really important to have as many certificates of authenticity as<br />
possible. We want to show our customers that we're truly authentic.”<br />
In addition to selling to local restaurants, the farm's beef is sold direct from the farm, through a<br />
weekly or monthly buying club and also in bulk a couple times each year. You can visit the<br />
Markegard Family Grass-Fed Farm during its seasonal farm days. Look for details and dates for the<br />

Masut Organic Grass-Fed Beef is a family farm that produces certified Organic Black Angus beef<br />
that is 100% grass fed! Our animals are born and raised on our 7000 acre ranch in Round Valley,<br />
California.<br />
The Cattle are raised organically in a closed herd on the valley portion of the ranch. All of the cattle<br />
are grass fed and finished. During the winter months the cattle are supplemented with hay<br />
harvested from our ranch, and during the rest of the year they graze from 2000 acres of valley floor.<br />
We believe that grazing rotation and minimum impact on the land are very important to keep the<br />
soil's fertility from declining. Compost is made from the manure that we gather from our feeder barn<br />
during the winter months.<br />
Our meat is dry-aged for 3 weeks and is sold frozen in vacuum sealed packages. Whole, half and<br />
quarter animals are available at request. We serve Mendocino County.<br />

Meyenberg Goat Milk is udderly delicious and the natural choice for those sensitive or intolerant to<br />
cow milk and/or soy milk. And, goat milk is a healthy addition to the diet of the whole family. he fatty<br />
acid and protein structure of goat milk is different than cow milk, making it very easy to digest. That's<br />
why many people who are lactose intolerant can drink goat milk. It contains only trace amounts of<br />
the cow milk protein that some people are allergic to. Meyenberg Goat Milk contains no<br />
preservatives and is free of antibiotics and Bovine Growth Hormones (rBGH/BST). Meyenberg Goat<br />
Milk contains more calcium, vitamin A, vitamin B6, and potassium than cow milk.<br />

Raises Animal Welfare Approved grass-fed beef cattle. Beef sold direct from farm; smallest amounts<br />
are ¼ cow; call or email to reserve and choose cuts.<br />
When Mike and Janis Tremper bought their undeveloped rural property on the Central Coast of<br />
California, four wild burrows lived in the canyon where the ranch sits that no one would claim. While<br />
they labored to put up fencing for their horses, one jack (a male burrow) in particular would harass<br />
their mares to no end until it was decided that something had to be done. With the help of some<br />
neighbors, they corralled the burrows with the intention of taking them into the auction. But there<br />
were only three. The troublesome jack was never seen again. While the episode has sparked a lot<br />
of theories since then, it also gave them a name—Missing Jack Ranch was born.<br />
Aside from their horses, Janis and Mike raise Animal Welfare Approved Angus beef cattle which<br />
they have bred with Australian Angus bloodlines to finish well on the native and naturalized grasses<br />
of Missing Jack Ranch. With support from their adult children and interested grandchildren, Janis<br />
and Mike are proud to run a “mom and pop” business and have transformed the property which<br />
once lacked any infrastructure, into a functioning ranch. They are proud that Missing Jack Ranch<br />

cattle are raised, birth through slaughter, on the ranch in Pine Canyon, so cattle are never shipped<br />
for processing.<br />
Mike and Janis have become AWA certified because it is important to them and their customers that<br />
their cattle are raised using the highest welfare practices. Missing Jack Ranch customers are<br />
pleased to know that their animal husbandry practices have been approved by AWA auditing staff to<br />
verify that they use high-welfare animal welfare practices to produce meat that is tender, marbled,<br />

Our certified organic and 100% grass fed practices protect your family from the dangers of<br />
mass-produced beef. Our cattle are grass fed from start to finish and never fed grain or by-products<br />
at any time. This creates a tender and naturally tasty beef that is free from any of the diseases<br />
associated with mass-produced beef. We have been increasing our herd size by the addition of<br />
offspring only (except for the introduction of bulls) since the inception of our herd in the late 1800's.<br />
For over a century our cattle have grazed peacefully on the rolling hills of the Kettleman Plains. This<br />
ensures a healthy herd with superior genetics.<br />
Morris Ranch is regulated by California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF) and the United States<br />
Department of Agriculture (USDA), so you can be confident that our beef is never fed animal<br />
by-products or supplements. Our beef is offered in halves and shipped frozen.<br />

Longtime Marin Organic members Margaret Graham and Walter Earle have owned and operated<br />
Mostly Natives Nursery in Tomales since 1984. Before that, Margaret was a commercial fisherman<br />
and Walter did this and that, but when they began having children, they decided to go into the<br />
nursery business. So, they bought the ¼+ acre plot that their nursery now stands on and began<br />
cultivating organic vegetable starts and a diverse palette of both native and non-native plants.<br />
Although neither of them is a native Californian themselves, their knowledge of, and appreciation for<br />
plants that tolerate seven months of drought each year, is impressive and infectious. Posted at the<br />
nursery are lists of plants that do well in various situations such as near the ocean, in the shade, or<br />
in containers. In addition, their website provides a wealth of information on all sorts of things<br />
including gardening to attract hummingbirds or how to choose deer-resistant plants.People come<br />
from all over the Bay Area to buy starts here, mostly from the East Bay and the Peninsula, because,<br />
“It's hard to find natives,” says Margaret. One of only three “natives” nurseries in the wider Bay Area,<br />
they were pioneer grower-retailers, which means they propagate the plants themselves and sell<br />
directly to the public instead of to wholesalers.<br />

Offers Animal Welfare Approved goat cheese.<br />
Deneane and Mark Ashcraft have farming in their blood. Both are sixth-generation California farmers<br />
and both feel a deep connection to their land and their animals. “I don't think we can't not farm,”<br />
laughs Mark. “It's in our blood.” The Ashcraft's farm is the first goat dairy to become Animal Welfare<br />
Approved in the United States. When Deneane first heard about Animal Welfare Approved at Slow<br />
Food, San Francisco, it seemed a natural fit for North Valley Farms. “The standards are<br />
comprehensive and deal with every aspect of the goats' lives. We get asked about the welfare of our<br />
animals a lot and the Animal Approved Welfare seal is a nice fit of us. It lets our customers know<br />
that our goats are out running around in the grass, being goats, and that we're not a confinement<br />
operation.”<br />
North Valley's goats are born and raised on the farm and Deneane, who is the goat keeper, puts<br />
their well-being first and foremost. “Our goats are so important to us and we want them to have as<br />
natural a life and as contented a life as possible,” she said. “And our goats are healthier, too. Their<br />
high standard of living means they live a longer, healthier life and produce longer.”<br />
The Ashcrafts also make handcrafted farmstead goat cheeses, which are made in small batches<br />
and are free of hormones and antibiotics.<br />

Our beef, sheep, and goats are 100% grass fed and raised without the use of antibiotics or<br />
hormones. Animals that are pasture-raised in their natural environment produce meat that is full of<br />
flavor and nutritional benefits. Meat from grass fed animals is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids or<br />
good, heart healthy, fats.<br />
Old Creek Ranch also grows Haas avocados and Valencia and Navel oranges without the use of<br />
pesticides or herbicides. Free-range, roaming chickens forage around the ranch, helping to control<br />
the pest population and fertilize the land at the same time. As an added bonus, fresh, natural eggs<br />
are available each day!<br />

Orange Spring Ranch raises Animal Welfare Approved beef.<br />
Standing on the lush pastures of Orange Spring Ranch, onlookers are awarded a spectacular view<br />
of the rich agricultural land of the Central Valley. Nestled against the western slopes of the Sierra<br />
Nevada Foothills, Orange Spring Ranch is home to a herd of Red Angus cattle. Amongst the oak<br />
trees, the cattle graze year round on grasses and clover.<br />
Orange Spring's cattle gain weight naturally and gradually, and never set foot in an auction house or<br />
feedlot. The result: juicy, tender meat harvested once a year, in the late spring, when grasses are at<br />
their richest and packed with essential nutrients. Orange Spring Ranch is proud to be Animal<br />
Welfare Approved, in accordance to its devotion to both the animals and the environment.<br />

I believe that responsible farming involves an intimate stewardship with the land. I work hard to<br />
improve my soil's viability while caring for my crops. When preparing soil, I first add well-rotted<br />
compost into the soil.<br />
I then blend in naturally occurring fertilizers, thus supplying vital nutrients needed for vigorous crop<br />
growth. I encourage beneficial insects by planting friendly perennials, and I deal with pests in an<br />
ecologically conscious fashion, without poisons or toxic chemical pesticides. The result is<br />
outstanding organic produce and soil that is in better condition at the end of each growing season.<br />

When you purchase beef from our ranch you support local, sustainable agriculture in Northern<br />
California, and you know that you are eating food that is both safe and healthy.<br />
Our beef is grass-finished on our ranch South of Hollister in San Benito County, which means that<br />
the animals are fed only grass their entire lives- no corn or grain products. When cattle are fed<br />
grain, the composition of the animal fat changes dramatically, along with the amount of fat, or<br />
marbling. As compared to the average grain-finished feedlot beef, some of the benefits of our<br />
grass-finished product are:<br />
-Leaner Meat: one-third the amount of fat found in grain-finished beef or about the same fat content<br />
as a skinless chicken breast<br />
-Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA): 3-5 times as much of this cancer-fighting compound as grain-fed<br />
-Omega 3 fatty acids: 2-6 times as much as grain-fed<br />
-Vitamin E: 2-4 times as much as grain-fed.<br />
We have a variety of cuts available. See the order page on the website for a list of cuts and prices.<br />
The meat is vacuum packaged and will last well in the freezer. Halves and split halves are also<br />
available. The weight is approximately 200 lbs. (half) or 100 lbs. (split-half). When you purchase<br />
this quantity, you can let us know whether you prefer a majority of ground beef or more roasts. This<br />
product is available seasonally. Product can be picked up in Paicines (near Hollister) or Saratoga<br />
(near San Jose). Contact us for further details.<br />

We're a local family farm and we serve Northern California exclusively with a variety of specialty<br />
eggs. Our eggs are the freshest because our hens are never more than a few hours from our<br />
customers.<br />
Not only do our eggs get to market faster, they get there with a lot less impact on the environment.<br />
We would rather put our resources into raising smaller, healthier flocks than spending it on fuel costs<br />
to haul our eggs to distant markets. When you think about it, it just makes sense.<br />
All our hens are treated the same, though their diets do vary. That means that none of our hens has<br />
ever seen a cage and they benefit from all the rest of the exacting standards required to raise and<br />
certify organic eggs.<br />
In fact, the entire ranch you see above is certified organic. The sheep, cattle, and vegetables we<br />
grow there are all raised for the organic market. Our business is eggs, but everything we do<br />
contributes to our goal of sustainable agriculture<br />
Simply put, we are committed to<br />

to help out on the farm.<br />
The Potters are proud that they grow all of their own feed and that they have figured out the best<br />
cow breed for their needs and the needs of their customers. Arnold says the Angus/Belted<br />
Galloway marbles really nicely and that their customers always comment about how great tasting<br />
the beef is.<br />
The Potters first became interested in grassfed beef because Chris had developed high cholesterol.<br />
Unfortunately, they found that the grassfed beef they were buying at the super market tasted like<br />
“crud.” They were inspired to raise their own grassfed cattle.<br />

Quetzal Farm (pronounced ket-sall) produces organic vegetables and fruit on seventeen acres in<br />
Santa Rosa and Occidental, California. Quetzal specializes in dry farmed tomats, sweet peppers,<br />
chilies and eggplant. We also grow apples, basil, cucumbers, squash, and other vegetables.<br />
Kevin McEnnis started the farm in Santa Rosa in 1999, giving it the name of the national bird of<br />
Guatemala, where he planted his first garden. The farm originally produced for farm market sales in<br />
Berkeley and Sonoma County, slowly building up its production and reputation each year. In 2004<br />
Keith Abeles joined Quetzal Farm. He has helped build up the farm's wholesale and direct to<br />
store/restaurant sales. Quetzal Farm grows the highest quality produce in a location with good soils,<br />
and a climate that benefits from a mix of Santa Rosa heat and a prevailing cool marine influence.<br />
This unique environment allows us to grow lettuce and other cool season crops side by side with<br />
tomats and other heat loving plants. Vegetables mature slower in this particular climate, which<br />
increases quality and taste.<br />
Quetzal Farm is also growing on a 10-acre site in Occidental, California. Our new site has over 300<br />
apple trees and fields for vegetables as well. There is better drainage and far less frost at this site.<br />
We aim to have product earlier and later in the year, as well as fruit from the orchard.<br />
Quetzal grows and dries its own chilies. These chilies offer many amazing culinary opportunities.<br />
Keep an eye out for our products at farmer's markets and in retail stores. Check out recipes on the<br />
website.<br />
Quetzal Farm uses sustainable farming practices. We build organic matter in our fields, restore<br />
habitat and plant hedgrows throughout the farm. This increases habitat for beneficial insects, birds,<br />
and other animals. It also helps us grow great food.<br />
We pride ourselves on producing the freshest, tastiest, high quality food and flowers. We keep a<br />
high standard when picking and packing produce, and our customers tell us this quality keeps them<br />
shopping for Quetzal items.<br />
We've thoroughly enjoyed getting to meet and know our customers over time. If you have not<br />
shopped with us already, we encourage you to.<br />

Tel: 559-564-2312<br />
Raises Animal Welfare Approved breeding stock cattle.<br />
Tony Rabb has been raising cattle in the foothills of California's San Joaquin Valley for over 35<br />
years. The 6000 acres Rabb Cattle Co. manages are covered in oak trees, natural springs, ponds,<br />
and native and naturalized forage. Tony's partner, Collette Taylor, initiated their move to a grassfed<br />
operation and now Rabb Cattle Co.'s registered Red Angus beef cattle are raised and finished on<br />
pasture.<br />
Tony and Collette are proud that their cattle have superior genetics. Their commercial cattle herd is<br />
mixed with Hereford and Angus bloodlines to produce a herd that is extremely<br />
productive—moderately framed and self-sufficient. They describe their cattle as well-adapted to the<br />
foothills on which they are foraging, protective of their young, and low-maintenance. Following the<br />
rigorous welfare standards required by Animal Welfare Approved ensures that their cattle are well<br />
cared-for and well fed. “They work for us,” says Collette, “so we treat them with respect—like an<br />
employee.” Being an Animal Welfare Approved beef cattle source farm allows them access to new<br />
markets for their grass-finished cattle.<br />
Finding the time to manage over 6000 acres of rangeland and 400-500 cattle is challenging for<br />
Collette and Tony. Nevertheless, they also enjoy raising horses and Pembroke Welsh Corgies.<br />

RK Ranch sits on the west face of the Cuyamaca Mountains at 4,100 feet. Its elevation makes<br />
Julian a very different community than the busy city of San Diego just 40 miles away. Randy<br />
Leonard and his wife Michelle left the city in 2007 for a seven acre property off the grid; they rely on<br />
solar panels to generate electricity and a well to provide water.<br />
It was Michelle's idea to raise chickens and she's remained the driving force in their egg business;<br />
“I'm just the hired help,” says Randy. As new farmers, having Animal Welfare Approved certification<br />
has given Randy and Michelle another resource to help them continue to improve their egg-laying<br />
operation so that they can do the right thing. Randy is proud that their pasture-based system is the<br />
opposite of conventional egg-laying operations. “I care about what I eat and what other people eat,”<br />
he says. “It's the right thing for my animals and my customers.”<br />
While Randy and Michelle don't get to the beach as often as they used to, they love their new rural<br />
life. “If you enjoy what you're doing, it's not work,” he says.<br />

Beef CSA shares or Beef Packages. Green-Fed Beef is superior to both Grass-Fed and Grain-Fed<br />
in both flavor and nutrition. Green-Fed is the new Red (meat, that is).<br />
Sage Mountain Beef is a small herd of Guernsey, Angus, and Holstein cattle. The animals are fed<br />
on a movable feast of grass and post-harvest crops (what Phil calls a "polyface approach").<br />
No animals are ever given artificial growth hormones or stimulants and are guaranteed to be free of<br />
antibiotics. They guarantee their ruminant livestock are 100% green-fed and pasture raised their<br />
entire lives, with no consumption of grain, by-product supplements, or ever setting a hoof within a<br />
confinement feedlot.<br />

20,000 sq ft state-of-the-art aquaponics fish farming and hydroponic greens growing facility in South<br />
Santa Cruz County's Pajaro Valley. It is now engaged in using that resource to develop a<br />
cost-effective model for the sustainable farming of high-quality food. Research and development<br />
focuses include: the creation of heretofore untapped and locally sourced fish feeding practices;<br />
improving the Omega-3 to Omega-6 fat ratios in farmed striped bass; enhancing the health and<br />
growth rates of fish grown at density in systems that imitate the bio-balanced environment in which<br />
they evolved in nature. Our aim is to create a new, highly cost-effective fish farming model that can<br />
be 100% energy independent and exported to struggling small family farmers and<br />
food-independence minded communities anywhere in the world.<br />

Sierra Azul Nursery and Gardens is located in the Pajaro Valley, at the edge of Watsonville,<br />
adjacent to the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Our winter weather is mild and summer is<br />
tempered by frequent fogs from Monterey Bay. The Pajaro Valley is known for its favorable<br />
agricultural and horticultural climate and is home to many nurseries and farms.<br />
We grow most of the plants we sell. We specialize in plants from the five Mediterranean climate<br />
zones in the world. Manzanita, Ceanothus, sage, flowering currant, toyon, and iris are some of the<br />
native plants that we feature. Other Mediterranean plants that grow very well in local gardens are:<br />
rockrose, sunrose, rosemary, lavender cotton, lavender, and thyme. Several shrubs originate in<br />
Chile. We grow many proteaceous shrubs from Australia and South Africa: grevilleas, banksias,<br />
proteas, leucadendrons, and pincushions as well as other unusual treasures. A wide variety of<br />
sages are available throughout the year and we have many grass-like plants.<br />
In addition to a retail sales area, our nursery features two acres of demonstration gardens. This<br />
garden allows customers to see plants as they look full-sized in a garden setting. In keeping with our<br />
philosophy of water conserving plantings, we water only monthly during the summer months.<br />
Our demonstration garden is a favorite place for our customers to walk through and enjoy. People<br />
come for ideas and inspiration for their own gardens. Landscapers bring their clients. Homeowners<br />
come to see what a particular plant looks like mature, and to follow the seasonal progression of the<br />
garden. Artists come to paint, bird watchers for the birds, teachers bring classes, families come for<br />
picnics, and beleaguered workers come for mental health breaks. We hope our gardens will inspire<br />
gardeners and turn homeowners into garden enthusiasts.<br />

Beef from Sierra Lands Beef is Animal Welfare Approved.<br />
Since 1996, the Sierra Foothill Conservancy has been managing thousands of acres of land in<br />
California's Mariposa, Madera and Fresno counties in order to protect and preserve foothill<br />
ecosystems and open space. Like many conservation land managers and researchers, Sierra<br />
Foothill Conservancy has found that anywhere non-native grasses thrive, grazing is essential for<br />
preserving vernal pools, native wildflowers, small vertebrates such as kangaroo rats and lizards, and<br />
invertebrates such as bugs and butterflies. In order to take advantage of these benefits, for many<br />
years, the Conservancy invited ranchers to graze cattle on its preserves as an important part of its<br />
stewardship of the land it owns and manages.<br />
In 2010, the Conservancy established its own grassfed beef operation, Sierra Lands Beef, managed<br />
Page 307
<strong>california</strong> guide: farmers<br />
by Logan Page and Billy Freeman. The two man operation utilizes rotational grazing and efficient<br />
water management to encourage the growth of natural grasses and health of the lands they<br />
manage. Animal Welfare Approved certification confirms that they are raising cattle with high-welfare<br />
and sustainable practices for the benefit of their animals, the earth and their customers. Sierra<br />
Lands' grassfed and grass-finished beef is available in the Fresno, Prather, North Fork, Oakhurst,<br />
and Mariposa communities direct from the farm, and orders can be placed through the website. Visit<br />

elevation, in Beckwourth California, has one of the most unique growing climates in the West. Sierra<br />
Valley Farms was first established as a native plant nursery in 1990 and broadened its diversity to<br />
growing certified organic produce in 1999.<br />
The family farm is owned and operated by Gary and Kim Romano, and their son Jy. Sierra Valley<br />
Farms diverse operation includes growing and production of native plants, a wide range of<br />
cool-season vegetables and some fruits, micro greens, herbs, wasabi, and value-added condiments.<br />

the natural dynamics of cover crops, rotation of crops, wildlife intrusion, and the four seasons to<br />
enhance the already fertile soil. This, along with the cool summer climate, produces some of the<br />
finest quality organic vegetables in the world.<br />
Sierra Valley has one of the harshest climates in the Sierras with winter temperatures of sometimes<br />
below zero and only 60-70 frost-free days per year. The summers daily temperatures can fluctuate<br />
as much as 50 degrees with morning lows in the 30's and afternoon as high as the 80's-90's. This<br />
climate is also perfect for the propagation of Sierra native plants. The nursery retails and wholesales<br />
native plants along with contract growing for public agencies and private contractors for<br />
re-vegetation and restoration projects.<br />
Sierra Valley Farms is proud of their commitment to the sustainability of the family farm. They<br />

Sonoma County Poultry was founded in 1992 by Jim Reichardt, a fourth generation duck farmer, in<br />
response to chefs' demands for a larger, meatier, more flavorful duck. Our “Liberty Ducks” are a<br />
strain of Pekin Duck that was developed in Denmark and is suited to a slower, less stressful style of<br />
rearing. This results in a market age of about 9 weeks as opposed to six weeks for other<br />
commercially grown birds.<br />
Sonoma County has the perfect climate for raising ducks in this style. Our temperate climate allows<br />
us to raise Liberty Ducks year-round, on straw litter, in an open environment with a minimum of<br />

intrusion. Liberty Ducks receive no antibiotics or hormones and are fed a diet that consists largely of<br />
corn and other grains. The combination of all these factors result in the best, most flavorful duck<br />
available in the country today.<br />
In addition to supplying the finer Bay Area Restaurants with their fresh duck needs, Sonoma County<br />
Poultry ships Liberty Ducks directly to restaurants and individuals across the United States. In the<br />
western US shipping is accomplished economically by using UPS Ground services. Further east we<br />
must use UPS Next Day Air Saver service at a higher cost.<br />

We are a family run operation of naturally raised, grass-fed lamb and wool. We raise purebreed<br />
Romney sheep on our pasture where our family has been for over 30 years; now on the second<br />
generation. We do not use hormones or anti-biotics and the sheep are never fed grain products.<br />
Other than pasture the sheep are raised with organic alfalfa pellets to maintain wool cleanliness and<br />
kelp; a rich nutrient source. We sell lambs whole or half, live or processed as well as odds and ends.<br />
Flock maintenance is based on a strict keep and cull routine for sheep we want to keep for breeding<br />
and we utilize what we know works best for health such as garlic and diatomaceous earth. Come by<br />
for a tour, call with questions or recipe suggestions, and pick up some wonderful lamb that is<br />
naturally low fat, high in protein and iron, zinc, and B vitamins and since it is grassfed very high in<br />
conjugated linoleic acid (CLA)! We look forward to being your family farmer.<br />

Terra Firma has over 15 years experience producing high quality organic fruits and vegetables for its<br />
Community Supported Agriculture program (CSA). At most times of year, we are harvesting and<br />
packing a wide variety of seasonably available items from our fields. We use survey data and<br />
feedback from our subscribers to determine "what" and "how much" people want to get in their<br />
boxes each week. Our produce was also subjected to rigorous testing by shoppers in Davis,<br />
Berkeley, San Francisco, and San Rafael during more than a decade of sales at farmers markets.<br />
We also grow produce for retail outlets like Rainbow Grocery in San Francisco and the Davis and<br />
Sacramento Natural Foods Co-ops, as well as restaurants such as Chez Panisse, Oliveto, Quince,<br />
and Zuni.<br />

creating a demonstration farm where young and established farmers and the community can<br />
deepen their relationships to the earth. Our first step was to create a demonstration farm by<br />
transforming the existing monocrop of strawberries, which had already been planted when the<br />
Foundation began leasing the farm in September of 2000, into row crops suitable to begin a<br />
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. We have Summer, Fall and Winter CSA<br />
programs (see the website for more information). The first Saturday of every month we have an<br />

Toluma Farms<br />
Animal Welfare Approved Listing<br />

Tel: 707-878-2041<br />
info@tolumafarms.com<br />
http://www.tolumafarms.com<br />
This farm produces Animal Welfare Approved goat milk and cheese.<br />
Toluma Farms is a Marin County, California, family owned, Grade A goat dairy in the town of<br />
Tomales. This unique coastal community is nestled above Point Reyes, Marshall and the Tomales<br />
Bay estuary. The coastal fog and hilly terrain is the perfect environment for dairy goats. Owners<br />
Tamara Hicks and David Jablons are developing a line of fine artisan, hand crafted goat cheeses<br />
here. In addition, they supply goat milk to Redwood Hill Farms of Sonoma County.<br />
With their daughters Emmy and Josy, Tamara and David purchased their once-defunct cow dairy in<br />
2003. The initial inspiration to purchase and restore the land came from a deep love of West Marin.<br />
Many pioneers had worked tirelessly to ensure that this land remained in the hands of farmers to<br />
produce food for California and beyond. The Hicks-Jablons family wanted to contribute to protecting<br />
the land and supplying food to the local community (San Francisco, Sonoma, and Marin). Toluma<br />
Farms attributes its success thus far to the hard working, committed and intelligent team of<br />
individuals (Hanna Hart, Laura Freeman, Cory Brush, Keri Sheridan, and Jennifer Rogge) who pour<br />
their souls into always improving the health of the goats as well as the health of the land.<br />
It is this commitment to the land and animals that led Tamara and David to Animal Welfare<br />
Approved. They strongly believe that healthy goats need to have access to nutritional pasture at all<br />
times and unlike other certification agencies, Animal Welfare Approved requires its farmers to utilize<br />
pasture-based farming practices. Tamara notes, “After having gone through the certification<br />
process with Animal Welfare Approved we always look for the label when purchasing food because<br />
we know firsthand that a farm with an AWA label matches our values and vision for farming.”<br />

Winter Creek Ranch is located three miles north of the grand old town of Brooks (population 92), off<br />
California Highway 16 on Yolo County Road 70. Many old maps show this as the community of<br />
Tancred, where the Capay Valley railway once stopped to pick up farm produce to take to market<br />
(1920's & 30's). Now the area still produces beef, bees and honey, almonds, organic vegetables (at<br />
Fiddlers Green Farm) and, of course, walnuts! We're the first farmhouse on the right on County<br />
Road 70 after you turn west off of Highway 16 and go about a half mile.<br />

Wise Acre Farm is located in Arbuckle, California, about 40 miles northwest of Sacramento.<br />
Mary Fahey, Wise Acre Farm's owner, is an accomplished graphic designer, gourd artist and a<br />
grower of fresh market produce and gourds. It may sound like a strange combination of activities,<br />
but it all works together.<br />

Produces Animal Welfare Approved chicken eggs.<br />
Open 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. weekends year 'round.<br />
Mary Fahey started Wise Acre Farm in 1997 when she purchased her first acreage in Arbuckle, CA.<br />
Although she had no prior background in farming, Mary had always kept an extensive vegetable<br />
garden as well as a variety of pets. Wise Acre Farm began as a small market garden and CSA and<br />
has now grown to over 20 acres producing a variety of fruits and vegetables, almonds and Animal<br />
Welfare Approved pastured eggs.<br />
Mary believes strongly that the health of the land is the key to a healthy farming system and so she<br />
farms with biodiversity and balance in mind. Mary has planted several of her acres in native plants<br />
for habitat, erosion control and water quality improvements and is in the process of renovating her<br />
hen's pastures to include native grass species and will be installing cross-fencing to incorporate a<br />
rotational grazing system for the livestock and hens.<br />
“Animal welfare has always been important to me and I strive to provide the healthiest and most<br />
natural lifestyle possible for my animals. It is also important to me that people know and understand<br />
where their food comes from. The AWA label and website give consumers clear resources to make<br />
educated food choices.”<br />
Wise Acre Farm's AWA eggs are available at the Wise Acre Farm Stand in Arbuckle Saturdays and<br />
Sundays 10 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. all year, by delivery within Arbuckle on Sundays and at the Arbuckle<br />
Certified Farmers Market which runs Wednesday evenings, June - August in downtown Arbuckle.<br />
Mary also grows hard-shell gourds and creates gourd artwork that can be found at The Artery<br />
gallery in Davis, California. Visit www.theartery.net for more information.<br />

Certified Farmers' Markets are an effort to reestablish the traditional link between farmers and<br />
consumers in California. Certified Farmers' Markets are "the real thing;" places where genuine<br />
farmers offer only agricultural products they grow themselves for direct sale to the public. By<br />
eliminating the middleman's additional costs and multiple product handling, both the farmers and the<br />
consumers benefit.<br />

Gibson Canyon Farm is a small family run farm in Solano County California. Our mission is to<br />
provide our community with the best tasting organically grown fruits and vegetables while farming as<br />
good neighbors both to the people we feed and the earth we share. The gardens provide a<br />
vegetable selection including beans, cucumbers, eggplant, peppers, summer squash, tomats<br />
(including a large selection of Heirloom tomats), and winter squash. We also have walnuts and<br />
almonds. And, to top it off, we offer honey and "pick your own" fresh flowers and herbs.<br />
The children's garden is a place for children to explore and experience a taste of farm life. Raised<br />
garden beds are brimming with potats, carrots, and green beans and children are encouraged to<br />
pick or dig up something to take home. Goats, chickens, pigs, bunnies and our resident kitty<br />
"Pickles" all love the attention from the children.<br />
We are proud to be pesticide free and to grow some of the best tasting varieties of fruits and<br />
vegetables! We also market produce grown by other Solano County farmers to help offer our<br />
customers lots of variety and choice.<br />

Jack Creek Farms is a small 5th generation family farm. Our farm is nestled in the coastal foothills<br />
of Central California 6 miles west of Templeton and Paso Robles. Our farm stand is located directly<br />
off of scenic Highway 46 West, in the heart of San Luis Obispo County wine country. We have RV<br />
and tour bus parking with easy highway access.<br />
Folks who visit our farm are invited to take a few moments to reconnect with simpler times past.<br />
Stroll through our demonstration gardens and antique farm equipment display. Pick a sunflower,<br />
olallieberries or a basket of sun kissed vine ripe tomats. Discover long forgotten heirloom varieties<br />
of fruits and vegetables enjoyed many generations ago. Let your kids plant a sunflower seed in a<br />
pot to take home with them. Try your hand at throwing a lasso and rope "Bailey" our mascot roping<br />
steer. Pump our old-fashioned water pump barrels or sit down and enjoy a leisurely game of<br />
checkers. In the fall kids love our u-pick pumpkin patch. Sample apple cider slushees and<br />
pomegranate juice granitas. Browse our country store or visit with the farm animals. Enjoy a freshly<br />
made caramel apple or a honey ginger cookie from our on-site bakery. We use our own free-range<br />
ranch eggs, honey, freshly ground whole wheat flour, apples, peaches, olallieberries, walnuts,<br />
pumpkins, etcetera, that are grown on our farm in our delicious baked goods. If you like fudge, we<br />
make what we believe will be the best you have ever tasted. Best of all . . . take home a memory!<br />
We use naturally grown farming methods and believe firmly in being good stewards of the land. We<br />
provide you with an opportunity to put a face on your farmer, and to learn where your food comes<br />
from.<br />
We plant, tend, and harvest by hand which results in a high quality product. Summer produce is<br />
picked fresh daily and at its peak of ripeness. We are pleased to offer you fresh and wholesome<br />
foods, old-fashioned hospitality, and a true taste of country each time you stop by.<br />
Check out the links to the left to learn about the many activities and products we have available from<br />
our farm's roadside stand. We host group tours which can include lunch or cider and cookies. Our<br />
tour focus changes with the seasons - Herbs & Veggies in the summer and Gourds & Pumpkins in<br />
the fall.<br />
With your support we hope to continue to supply our visitors and community with fresh and<br />
wholesome fruits, vegetables, wheat berries, wheat flour, juice and baked goods.<br />
By supporting small family farms, you have helped to not only preserve our rural character and<br />
cherished open space, you have also helped to preserve our family traditions and heritage.<br />
Thank you and see you soon!!!<br />

John Givens started John Givens Farm in the Goleta Valley under the “Something Good” label in<br />
1980 with 1 acre. Over the years, John Givens Farm grew slowly to its present size of 180 acres in<br />
12 locations stretching over 30 miles. Our goal is to provide fresh, local, organic produce of excellent<br />
quality all year long. Our seasons for many items are extended due to the diverse microclimates on<br />
our land. We use innovative methods for cultivating produce, such as nurturing tomats in cold<br />
frames in the winter, which dramatically extends their availability into the cooler months. We plant<br />
many varieties of produce every week of the year. This gives us timely arrivals of seasonal products<br />
with extended growth terms.<br />

Marin Organic is an association of organic producers in Marin County whose livelihood is based on<br />
a respect for nature and a sense of place. As the primary link between farmers and eaters, Marin<br />
Organic is committed to promoting and supporting a sustainable, organic county - a county in which<br />
growers and the people who rely on them recognize their mutual interdependence.<br />
Founded in 1999, Marin Organic's mission focuses on the environmental soundness and economic<br />
viability of farming and ranching in Marin County. Its members include such well-known names as<br />
Cowgirl Creamery, makers of award-winning organic cheeses, Star Route Farms, the oldest<br />
continuously certified organic farm in California, and Straus Family Creamery, the first organic dairy<br />
west of the Mississippi.<br />
In addition to promoting local organic agriculture, Marin Organic has many projects that address<br />
environmental issues, such as Salmon Safe certification and a popular farmer education workshop<br />
series, as well as a variety of programs which focus on community health, such as its Marin Organic<br />
School Lunch and Gleaning Program, a program that also addresses underserved communities in<br />
Marin.<br />
By restoring ecological and social values to agriculture and realigning traditional expectations of<br />

farming with a holistic understanding of ecology, Marin Organic aims to re-empower local<br />
communities, foster environmentally sound agriculture and celebrate local food production. Marin<br />
Organic is at the forefront of a movement which is creating a healthy, sustainable, and safe<br />
environment for all beings, today, and for generations to come.<br />
It is supported by the UC Cooperative Extension, Office of the Agricultural Commissioner, Marin<br />
County Board of Supervisors, Marin Agricultural Land Trust, Marin Food Policy Council, and<br />
consumers throughout the county.<br />

We're a local family farm and we serve Northern California exclusively with a variety of specialty<br />
eggs. Our eggs are the freshest because our hens are never more than a few hours from our<br />
customers.<br />
Not only do our eggs get to market faster, they get there with a lot less impact on the environment.<br />
We would rather put our resources into raising smaller, healthier flocks than spending it on fuel costs<br />
to haul our eggs to distant markets. When you think about it, it just makes sense.<br />
All our hens are treated the same, though their diets do vary. That means that none of our hens has<br />
ever seen a cage and they benefit from all the rest of the exacting standards required to raise and<br />
certify organic eggs.<br />
In fact, the entire ranch you see above is certified organic. The sheep, cattle, and vegetables we<br />
Page 412
<strong>california</strong> guide: farmers markets<br />
grow there are all raised for the organic market. Our business is eggs, but everything we do<br />
contributes to our goal of sustainable agriculture<br />

Tuesdays, 2PM - 7PM, year-round. The Ecology Center has operated certified farmers' markets in<br />
Berkeley since 1987. Farmers' markets are festive, family-friendly, open-air marketplaces where<br />
California farmers bring fresh, locally-grown fruits, nuts, vegetables, and farm-processed foods to<br />
sell directly to consumers. Ecology Center Farmers' Markets are committed to supporting<br />
small-scale farmers who practice sustainable agriculture. At the markets, you'll find fresh baked<br />
goods, jams and preserves, juices, olive oils, goat milk and cheeses, prepared foods, nursery plants,<br />
and flowers. Often musicians entertain the shoppers, and special cultural and educational events<br />
are scheduled regularly throughout the year.<br />

Top 10 reasons to Shop at St. Helena Farmers' Market<br />
1. Support local farmers and the local economy.<br />
2. Reduce pollution and fuel usage. (Our fruits and veggies are grown in California- several of our<br />
vendors are from the Napa Valley.)<br />
3. Support growers who respect the environment and protect our natural resources.<br />
4. The produce is really FRESH! (Many of our farmers pick just before coming to market- which<br />
makes produce more nutritious.)<br />
5. Help protect our farming heritage- keep small family farms in business. Help stop corporate take<br />
over of food production.<br />
6. Keep diversity alive in produce choices. Our farmers raise many heirloom varieties not available<br />
in local supermarkets.<br />
7. Our local produce often costs less than the local produce sold at nearby stores.<br />
8. It's a good excuse to meet friends for coffee and pastries.<br />
9. Maintain the heritage of this "Community Treasure," founded in July 1986.<br />
10.It's fun!<br />

We make our sweet and savory popcorn the artisan way - by hand in small batches. It takes longer,<br />
but we think you can taste the difference. In our kitchen in San Francisco , we pop our kernels in<br />
heavy copper kettles, and toss it while still warm with buttery organic caramel or one of our spice<br />
blends. We are ruthless about batches that don't meet our standards - "dud" batches never end up<br />
in the hands or mouths of our customers. And, our USDA certified organic popcorn is made when<br />
we get orders for it - and not a minute sooner.<br />
479 Popcorn is dedicated to supporting small family farms, fair trade practices, sustainable<br />
agriculture and organic farming. Practicing and cultivating artisan craftsmanship is our passion!<br />

Keep yourself or the coffee snob/caffeine enthusiast in your life rolling in gourmet java beans with<br />
Citizen Bean, an online subscription coffee-roaster-of the-month club that offers the "best<br />
sustainable and complex roasts" from small-batch specialty roasters across the United States.<br />
With the tagline "Coffee with a Conscience," the San Francisco, Calif. company—which, oddly<br />
enough, has co-opted the Statue of Liberty in its logo—wants to use the niche marketing of specialty<br />
roasts to enable subsistence coffee growers to improve their livelihoods and emerge from poverty.<br />
A portion of Citizen Bean's profits will be donated to a charity of each roaster's choice; the company<br />
also says it uses post-consumer recycled materials in its packaging, shipping, and collateral<br />

Although Clairesquares officially opened for business in 2006, Claire has been making her<br />
delectable treats since she was a child growing up in County Cork, Ireland. By the age of 12, she<br />
was baking from her mother's recipe books and experimenting with fudge, butterscotch, toffee and<br />
caramel. She found that the best result was a mouthwatering combination of shortbread, caramel<br />
and chocolate.<br />
A young entrepreneur, Claire tried her hand at selling the squares at school. It wasn't long before<br />
her classmates were addicted and she was selling out every week. Over the years, Claire continued<br />
to bake her famous squares, developing a following among family and friends in Ireland. Years later<br />
and miles away in San Francisco, she whipped up a batch of her buttery Irish treats for her friends.<br />
They had never tasted anything quite like them. Encouraged by her friends' enthusiasm—and<br />
constant harassment for just one more square—Claire decided to sell them again here in America,<br />
and Clairesquares was born!<br />
Though our products may be sinful, Clairesquares is dedicated to being a socially responsible<br />
business. We operate out of a certified Green Business commercial kitchen and are licensed as a<br />
green business with the City and County of San Francisco. We are committed to an aggressive<br />
recycling and composting program, and we recycle 90% of our waste. Our online orders are shipped<br />
using recycled and biodegradable styrofoam, which ensures that your product arrives to you in<br />
perfect shape with minimal effect on the environment.<br />
We are just as committed to our local community as we are to the environment; through our<br />

It has been just eight years since Sue Conley and Peggy Smith launched Tomales Bay Foods in a<br />
renovated barn in Point Reyes Station, California. After successful careers as Bay Area chefs, the<br />
women shifted their focus to Tomales Bay.<br />
Their new market would carry the region's finest natural foods and other products, from prepared<br />
dishes, fresh, organic fruits and vegetables, wines and cheeses. Sue and Peggy began to make<br />
cheese from pure, natural, organic milk, and Cowgirl Creamery was born. All Cowgirl Creamery<br />
cheeses are still made at the barn in Point Reyes Station.<br />
These days, the cheesemaking is under the direction of Maureen Cunnie and her hard-working<br />
team. Maureen, also a veteran of the Bay Area restaurant scene, was a chef before joining the<br />
Cowgirl team. When you visit the creamery, you can observe cheesemaking in action through a<br />
glassed-in viewing area. Afterward, you'll want to visit our cheese counter to taste a variety of great<br />
artisan cheeses. Our cheese mongers will be glad to answer your questions and provide<br />
suggestions. In addition to delicious cheese, we stock cheese books, cheese knives, cheese<br />
boards, and special condiments to accompany your cheese.<br />
The barn, located at 80 4th Street in Point Reyes Station, is open Wednesday through Sunday, from<br />
10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Group tours can be scheduled in advance for Fridays at 11:30 a.m. The tour<br />
consists of a 25-minute presentation, followed by a tasting of Cowgirl Creamery cheeses. The<br />
charge for the tour is $3 per person.<br />

Feeding a natural diet is our obsession - We believe that everyone, regardless of finances or busy<br />
schedules, can make a natural raw diet work for them.<br />
Animals have been living in harmony with humans throughout history. Dogs and cats were<br />
domesticated thousands of years ago. They were companions, protectors, and hunters. What did<br />
they eat? Raw meat, bones, organs and some vegetation. That is the diet of wild dogs and cats.<br />
Commercial food (called kibble) was introduced about in the 1940's, mainly to help large kennels<br />
feed animals faster and to provide food for military dogs. Since then the Kibble industry has<br />
boomed. You can find every flavor on the market, as well as special diets for various ailments.<br />
Today commercial kibble is the norm, not the raw meat, bones and other nutrients that sustain a<br />
healthy pet. In just 60 years how could they have adapted to this new diet? A better question might<br />
be why are veterinary clinics so busy these days with so many diseased animals?<br />

impossible. “Our goal is to produce quality products while improving our environment at the same<br />

in the family to raising heritage breed Dexter cattle. Their entire herd is raised on pasture, even<br />
when they are being finished for market. They graze in harmony with the land producing lush<br />
landscapes on the farm, and are given the lowest stress living environment possible. Jesse and<br />
Hannah like to sell their products locally, direct to consumers, to ensure its quality as well as to<br />
support the local economy. For a sustainable future they feel local, healthy food needs to be<br />
available to communities and they plan to continue offering humane, pasture-raised meat in<br />

We work directly with small family farms, seeking out heirloom and forgotten fruits, hoping to revive<br />
the tastes of our collective pasts. These fruits, once commonly grown and available, are now rare<br />
and almost extinct. Supporting the farmers who grow them helps to ensure that these varieties of<br />
fruit will not be lost.<br />
Following traditional methods of preserving, organically grown fruit is hand-cut and stove-top cooked<br />
in small batches with the addition of a minimal amount of organic sugar and no commercial pectin.<br />
Endeavoring to utilize the entire fruit, we use the seeds and membranes of citrus to make our own<br />
pectin for marmalades, and candy the peel. Inspired by traditional pairings, we infuse the flowers<br />
and herbs we grow into the fruit to create complex flavors.<br />
Each pot yields an average of 8-10 jars and is hand poured. Letterpress labels are applied by hand.<br />
It is our belief that this close attention to detail and extremely small scale yields the best quality<br />
possible in a preserved fruit.<br />
All of our fruit is grown within the U.S., the majority in Northern California. It is grown organically by<br />
sustainable agricultural methods without the use of synthetic chemicals, allowing the fullest flavors in<br />
the fruit to develop. Capturing these tastes is the craft of our business.<br />
Our complete line is available direct from us online, at the San Francisco Ferry Plaza Farmers'<br />
Market, and at The Still-Room Shop in Berkeley.<br />
Our products are also available from select retailers. Variety varies by outlet.<br />

Instead of the "mono-culture" that has emerged in the Napa Valley, at Long Meadow Ranch we<br />
have developed an integrated farming system that relies on each part of the Ranch contributing to<br />
the health of the whole. Long Meadow Ranch is an innovative organic farming operation and<br />
purveyor of fine foods.<br />
Located high above the Napa Valley on the picturesque slopes of the Mayacamas Mountains, Long<br />
Meadow Ranch produces extraordinary red wine, extra virgin olive oil, grass-fed beef, organic eggs,<br />
and heirloom fruits and vegetables for Napa Valley's finest restaurants.<br />
We focus on raising outstanding breeding for our beef. Scotch Highland beef is considered by many<br />
to be the best in the world and is even raised by the British royal family for its own consumption. In<br />
keeping with Long Meadow Ranch's organic practices, our beef is chemical-free, hormone-free and<br />
antibiotic-free.<br />
We make our own fertilizers on the Ranch through an extensive composting operation that relies on<br />
organic material from each segment of the Ranch. Soil erosion is controlled, and new soils are built<br />
through the extensive use of permanent cover crops made up of carefully selected grasses, clovers,<br />
and legumes. We do not use herbicides or pesticides and all crops are produced in accordance with<br />
the California Organic Foods Act of 1990.<br />

Child. It was the late 1980s, and cooking shows were becoming popular. One day, Christine<br />
announced, “I think I'll be a chef!” and promptly moved to San Francisco to attend the California<br />

more than raw meat, and her career as a pastry chef began!<br />
Christine perfected her craft as a pastry chef during her more than 10 years of working in multiple<br />

Market and Flea St. Café. She wanted to open her own business. “Wouldn't chocolate truffles be<br />
yummy?” she asked herself. Rather, she stuffed her back pockets full of culinary knowledge and<br />
experience, and went back to school to study graphic design. But soon, her long-held dream of<br />
creating chocolate truffles using fresh, local, organic ingredients once again came knocking at the<br />
door. This time, Christine answered, and Neo Cocoa was born.<br />

By working with a network of independent family farmers, Niman Ranch controls its meat all the way<br />
from the farm until it reaches the customer. Most meat in the United States gs through many<br />
distribution layers before it reaches the consumer. Niman Ranch knows where and how each piece<br />
of meat is produced and provides direct feedback to the farmers and ranchers about quality.<br />
At Niman Ranch, a skilled team of butchers portions the meat daily to customers' specifications.<br />
Niman Ranch employees conduct tastings of their product regularly to ensure that it meets their<br />
rigorous taste standards. Today, Niman Ranch ranchers, butchers, office staff, and drivers are<br />
fulfilling the vision upon which the company was founded to bring the best possible meat to<br />
customers while practicing the highest standards of husbandry and environmental stewardship.<br />
Niman Ranch beef, pork and lamb are available for on-line purchase. Visit our Niman Ranch Online<br />
Market to place your order. As part of their commitment to educating customers about what they do,<br />
Niman Ranch invites you to sign up for their email newsletter and attend a farm or ranch tour.<br />

Offers Animal Welfare Approved goat cheese.<br />
Deneane and Mark Ashcraft have farming in their blood. Both are sixth-generation California farmers<br />
and both feel a deep connection to their land and their animals. “I don't think we can't not farm,”<br />
laughs Mark. “It's in our blood.” The Ashcraft's farm is the first goat dairy to become Animal Welfare<br />
Approved in the United States. When Deneane first heard about Animal Welfare Approved at Slow<br />
Food, San Francisco, it seemed a natural fit for North Valley Farms. “The standards are<br />
comprehensive and deal with every aspect of the goats' lives. We get asked about the welfare of our<br />
animals a lot and the Animal Approved Welfare seal is a nice fit of us. It lets our customers know<br />
that our goats are out running around in the grass, being goats, and that we're not a confinement<br />
operation.”<br />
Page 480
<strong>california</strong> guide: online shopping<br />
North Valley's goats are born and raised on the farm and Deneane, who is the goat keeper, puts<br />
their well-being first and foremost. “Our goats are so important to us and we want them to have as<br />
natural a life and as contented a life as possible,” she said. “And our goats are healthier, too. Their<br />
high standard of living means they live a longer, healthier life and produce longer.”<br />
The Ashcrafts also make handcrafted farmstead goat cheeses, which are made in small batches<br />
and are free of hormones and antibiotics.<br />
Congratulations to Deneane and Mark Ashcraft! Their North Valley Farms soft goat's milk cheese<br />
was Best of Class at the 2009 U.S. Championship Cheese contest. The U.S. Championship Cheese<br />
contest is the “Superbowl of cheese” and was held in Green Bay, Wisconsin in March 2009.<br />
North Valley Farms cheeses were also Cheese Society Award Winners this year (2010)!<br />

Larry Bearg and Lorene Reed became parents and learned that pesticides negatively impact young<br />
children far more than adults. They committed to feeding their children healthy organic food and<br />
soon decided to provide a convenient solution to families all over the Bay Area who had the same<br />
commitment, but lacked the time and easy access to healthy organic food. Since then their vision<br />
has grown to encompass a dedication to supporting local sutainable family food businesses in the<br />
Bay Area and creating a community which brings together local food lovers and food producers.<br />
Home deliveries are ordered via the company's easy-to-use Web site, which features the finest<br />
seasonal, local produce, grocery basics such as dairy, eggs, meats, and specialty food items such<br />
as organic chocolates, artisan cheeses and fresh-baked breads. A wide selection of home<br />

Point Reyes Farmstead is the home of Original Blue, California's only classic style blue cheese.<br />
Bob Giacomini began milking cows on his Point Reyes dairy in 1959. Over the years, Bob and his<br />
wife Dean, together with their four daughters, Karen, Diana, Lynn and Jill, developed a shared vision<br />
of bringing an all-natural farmstead product directly from their ranch to the consumer's table. This<br />
dream was realized in August, 2000 when they founded Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Company<br />
and produced the first vat of Original Blue.<br />
Produced from a closed herd of Holstein cows that graze freely year-round on green pastures<br />
overlooking the Tomales Bay, the cheese is made within hours of milking and then aged for six<br />

in both flavor and nutrition. Green-Fed is the new Red (meat, that is).<br />
Sage Mountain Beef is a small herd of Guernsey, Angus, and Holstein cattle. The animals are fed<br />
on a movable feast of grass and post-harvest crops (what Phil calls a "polyface approach").<br />
No animals are ever given artificial growth hormones or stimulants and are guaranteed to be free of<br />
antibiotics. They guarantee their ruminant livestock are 100% green-fed and pasture raised their<br />
entire lives, with no consumption of grain, by-product supplements, or ever setting a hoof within a<br />
confinement feedlot.<br />

Beef from Sierra Lands Beef is Animal Welfare Approved.<br />
Since 1996, the Sierra Foothill Conservancy has been managing thousands of acres of land in<br />
California's Mariposa, Madera and Fresno counties in order to protect and preserve foothill<br />
ecosystems and open space. Like many conservation land managers and researchers, Sierra<br />
Foothill Conservancy has found that anywhere non-native grasses thrive, grazing is essential for<br />
preserving vernal pools, native wildflowers, small vertebrates such as kangaroo rats and lizards, and<br />
invertebrates such as bugs and butterflies. In order to take advantage of these benefits, for many<br />
years, the Conservancy invited ranchers to graze cattle on its preserves as an important part of its<br />
stewardship of the land it owns and manages.<br />
In 2010, the Conservancy established its own grassfed beef operation, Sierra Lands Beef, managed<br />
by Logan Page and Billy Freeman. The two man operation utilizes rotational grazing and efficient<br />
water management to encourage the growth of natural grasses and health of the lands they<br />
manage. Animal Welfare Approved certification confirms that they are raising cattle with high-welfare<br />
and sustainable practices for the benefit of their animals, the earth and their customers. Sierra<br />
Lands' grassfed and grass-finished beef is available in the Fresno, Prather, North Fork, Oakhurst,<br />
and Mariposa communities direct from the farm, and orders can be placed through the website. Visit<br />
the Sierra Lands Beef website (http://www.sierrafoothill.org/slb.htm) for more information.<br />

providers, and benefit greatly by being local consumers of the abundance of PlacerGROWN<br />

Romney sheep on our pasture where our family has been for over 30 years; now on the second<br />
generation. We do not use hormones or anti-biotics and the sheep are never fed grain products.<br />
Other than pasture the sheep are raised with organic alfalfa pellets to maintain wool cleanliness and<br />
kelp; a rich nutrient source. We sell lambs whole or half, live or processed as well as odds and ends.<br />
Flock maintenance is based on a strict keep and cull routine for sheep we want to keep for breeding<br />
and we utilize what we know works best for health such as garlic and diatomaceous earth. Come by<br />
for a tour, call with questions or recipe suggestions, and pick up some wonderful lamb that is<br />
naturally low fat, high in protein and iron, zinc, and B vitamins and since it is grassfed very high in<br />
conjugated linoleic acid (CLA)! We look forward to being your family farmer.<br />

Calico Ranch is a family-run apple and pear orchard located near the historic town of Julian. The<br />
farm has remained in production since it was first planted in the early 1930's. The Young family has<br />
owned the 30 acre orchard for more than nineteen years. As one of the last remaining apple<br />
orchards in the Julian area where the public can enjoy the fun of picking their own fruit, Calico<br />
Ranch offers the possibility of a unique family experience.<br />
Our picking season typically begins around the end of September and lasts through the month of<br />
October.<br />
About Our Apples - More than 130 varieties of apples are grown on-site as well as several varieties<br />
of pears. At Calico Ranch, we implement an integrated pest management system which is a safer,<br />
minimized and wiser use of pesticides and herbicides. We offer a different variety off apples and<br />
pears each weekend depending on which become ripe at that particular time of the season.<br />
Whether you come for the U-Pick experience or just to visit our Easy-pick fruit stand, we hope that<br />
your visit will be a memorable one.<br />

Food for Thought (FFT) was organized by a group of concerned parents, educators and growers<br />
who first came together in the spring of 2002 to improve the nutritional status and food awareness of<br />
children in the Ojai Unified School District (OUSD).<br />
With the help of our committed staff, volunteers and donors, our program has helped to address<br />
several important concerns--raising awareness of the importance of good childhood nutritional<br />
practices to avoid health-related problems like diabetes, raising awareness among our children and<br />
their parents of the integral role of agriculture in our community, and enabling children to reconnect<br />
to the land and environment that sustains them.<br />
FFT also conducts a number of free community events, including "Films for Thought," a series of<br />
films on sustainable agriculture, food, and environmental concerns. FFT's comprehensive program<br />
was the fourth farm-to-school program to develop in California, was one of the first to be listed as<br />
part of Slow Food USA's "Slow Food in Schools" program and handbook, and has served as a<br />
model for a number of other school districts. There are now hundreds of similar programs across the<br />
United States.<br />

Patchworks Farm is a program of Community Service Learning Connection (CSLC) a 501 (c) 3<br />
non-profit corporation. Patchworks has been operating for ten years and is now concentrating solely<br />
on offering a pathway to sustainability through place-based education. We also sell produce at farm<br />
stands, please check the website for current locations.<br />
The CSLC credo is LEAP, an acronym for "Live simply, Educate for change, Advocate for justice<br />
and Practice saying thanks". We, like the frog in the French recipe, sit unnoticing as the<br />
temperature rises around us, and we, like the frog, will come to a quick end unless we wake up and<br />
muster the moral courage to leap.Patchworks Farm is a grass-roots community collaboration of<br />
schools, businesses, healthcare organizations, and agribusinesses all of whom support our mission<br />
of fostering earth-friendly, sustainable living. Our non-profit corporation has formed this<br />
collaboration to develop a beautiful 5 acre farm as our learning laboratory.<br />
We have a delightful, red barn set up as a classroom and are located near Ursuline and Cardinal<br />
Newman High Schools in Northern Santa Rosa. We engage hundreds of youth from elementary to<br />
community college age groups in various land-based sustainability oriented projects to help guide<br />
them to a more sustainable future.<br />
Current Projects Include:<br />
Sustainable farming classes for children through high school age<br />
Water conservation<br />
Organic food production<br />
Biodiesel fuel production<br />
Solar voltaic energy systems<br />
Bee production<br />
Composting<br />

Petaluma Bounty is working to create a sustainable Petaluma food system with healthy fresh food<br />
for everyone. Formed in summer 2006 with initial seed funding from the Hub of Petaluma<br />
Foundation, programs include: creating community gardens throughout Petaluma to increase food<br />
self-sufficiency and strengthen community; gleaning fresh, healthy surplus food from backyard<br />
gardens, farms and food businesses for distribution to food pantries and senior centers; and,<br />
creation of an educational urban farm to provide sustainably-grown food to low-income households<br />
at affordable prices, and to educate students and the public about the importance of a healthy local<br />
food system.<br />
In March, 2008, we launched the Bounty Box Food Club as a pilot program at McDowell Elementary<br />
School, providing weekly boxes of organic fruits and vegetables to low income-earning families at<br />
wholesale prices. We plan to expand the Bounty Box program to other schools and locations<br />
beginning in fall, 2008.<br />

Pie Ranch is a center for education and social change. Through hands-on learning about the full<br />
cycle of food production - from seed and shoot to scrumptious meal to steaming compost - we<br />
inspire people to build a healthier food system. While much of our activity is based on the farm, we<br />
also work in the city with individuals, organizations, businesses and public agencies to foster<br />
stronger relationships between urban and rural communities.<br />
We are also working to protect and restore the old Green Oaks Ranch - a historically, agriculturally,<br />
and ecologically significant farm on the San Mateo coast - as the permanent home for our rural<br />
education and production.<br />

P.I.N.A. is a grassroots organization comprised of diverse individuals from Napa County, including<br />
educators, healthcare professionals, environmentalists, and home gardeners. What we all share is<br />
the belief that genetically modified organisms (GMOs) pose a serious risk to our health and the<br />
health of future generations, and that they also threaten our environment, economy, and consumers'<br />
Page 515
<strong>california</strong> guide: organizations<br />
rights. We all eat food and are concerned that these irreversible changes to our food supply and<br />
environment are taking place without governmental oversight, without input from the general public,<br />
and without people's knowledge and consent. Sadly, the past decade has shown that GMOs only<br />
truly benefit the biotech corporations that field test and commercialize them at the expense of<br />
farmers, consumers, and the environment.<br />
Since studies show that the more people learn about GMOs, the less they trust them, our primary<br />
strategies, in addition to advocacy, are education and dialogue.<br />

Slow Food USA is a non-profit educational organization dedicated to supporting and celebrating the<br />
food traditions of North America through programs and activities dedicated to Taste Education,<br />
Defending Biodiversity and Building Food Communities. Slow Food USA believes that pleasure and<br />
quality in everyday life can be achieved by slowing down, respecting the convivial traditions of the<br />
table and celebrating the diversity of the earth's bounty. From the spice of Cajun cooking to the<br />
delicious simplicity of produce at a farmers' market; from animal breeds and heirloom varieties of<br />
fruits and vegetables to handcrafted wine and beer, farmhouse cheeses and other artisanal<br />
products; these foods are a part of our cultural identity. They reflect generations of commitment to<br />
the land and devotion to the processes that yield the greatest achievements in taste.<br />
These foods, and the communities that produce and depend on them, are constantly at risk of<br />
succumbing to the effects of the fast life, which manifests itself through the industrialization and<br />
standardization of our food supply and degradation of our farmland. By reviving the pleasures of the<br />
table, and using our taste buds as our guides, Slow Food USA believes that our food heritage can<br />
be saved. Our goal is to put the carriers of this heritage on center stage and educate our<br />
membership about the importance of these principles. We hope you will join us.<br />

For decades, farmers throughout California have been cultivating their land to grow healthy, fresh<br />
products for their families and friends. As the population grew, cities emerged and large companies<br />
Page 540
<strong>california</strong> guide: organizations<br />
joined forces, farmers were forced to either stay in the industry with tough struggles or close their<br />
family business and relocate.<br />
In the last 30 years, every effort has been made to support direct marketing of local growers and<br />
their products. In 1976, on Governor Jerry Brown's recommendation, the Direct Marketing Code was<br />
developed and put into state regulations by Rose Bird, California's agriculture director.<br />
By 1980, farmers at the Gardena farmers' market discussed the need for coordination of growers<br />
and crops through a central association, thus came the Southland Farmers' Market Association. The<br />
first six markets including Gardena, Pacoima, Pasadena, Villa Park, Long Beach, and Adams and<br />
Vermont were organized through the Interfaith Hunger Coalition "Hunger Organizing Team." As<br />
more markets developed in Los Angeles County throughout the early 80's, their member farmers<br />
agreed to join the Association.<br />
As the burgeoning farmers' market movement grew in California, Southland helped to direct and<br />
support farmers, new markets, and promote and support existing markets. Today, Southland<br />
Farmers' Market Association is the largest trade association of certified farmers' markets in<br />
California. Founded in 1983, the Association has grown to represent 22 farmers' markets and more<br />
than 400 growers in Southern California.<br />
Southland's Board of Directors is primarily composed of small farmers who actively participate in the<br />
farmers' markets. The chief role of the Association is to safeguard the integrity of the markets by<br />
ensuring that producers only sell what they have grown. Customers are thereby assured that they<br />
are buying fresh fruits and vegetables directly from local California producers.<br />
There are more than 360 certified farmers' markets in California and the number continues to grow<br />
each year. In 2001, the industry accounts for $250 million in sales. This is all the more remarkable<br />
for the fact that certified farmers' markets must be operated as a community service by a non-profit<br />
organization, local public agency or California certified growers. Southland offers assistance to<br />
markets and growers with marketing, promotions, member services, legislative advocacy and<br />
self-enforcement programs.<br />

We believe:<br />
- That access to healthy food is a basic human right and must not be compromised<br />
- That communities are enriched by the cultivation and celebration of diverse food traditions and<br />
experience<br />
- That the production, distribution, and preparation of food must be healthy and humane for all<br />
humans, animals and ecosystems<br />
- That agricultural land and biological diversity must be protected for future generations<br />
- That all food commerce must be just, democratic and economically fair<br />

The Foundation envisions a nationwide public school curriculum at all levels that includes hands-on<br />
experiences in school kitchens, gardens, and lunchrooms. This curriculum will inspire students to<br />
choose healthy food and help them understand the impact of their choices on their health, the health<br />
of their communities, and the planet.<br />
In addition, we envision public school systems providing delicious, healthy, freshly prepared meals<br />
for all of their students as a regular part of each school day-in lunchrooms that appeal to all the<br />
senses and are ecologically designed. To create real change in students' eating habits, we must<br />
rethink their education and experiences with food, beginning with their experiences in school.<br />

In 1997, Sue Conley and Peggy Smith opened Cowgirl Creamery in Pt. Reyes Station, a<br />
picturesque postage-stamp-of-a-town on the coast about an hour north of San Francisco. They<br />
started with an old barn, made it beautiful, put in a small plant for making hand-crafted cheese,<br />
bought organic milk from the neighbor, Straus Family Creamery... and before long the world found<br />
them! From the beginning, they wanted to make delicious, artisan cheese, to be environmentally<br />
responsible, and they also wanted to support their cheesemaking friends in being sustainable land<br />
stewards. Today, Cowgirl Creamery continues to make just a small collection of cheese -- four, soft<br />
aged and three fresh, totaling about 3,000 pounds per week. However, their circle of cheesemaking<br />
friends has grown like wildfire and they now distribute extraordinary artisan cheeses from over 60 of<br />
America's and Europe's most prized producers.<br />

The Livermore Valley has long been a premiere wine region. Beginning in the 19th century, vintners<br />
recognized the region's climate and soils as highly suitable for wine-grape cultivation. By the turn of<br />
the century, the Valley was home to more than 5,000 acres of vineyards and over 50 wineries.<br />
Pioneering wine families had succeeded fabulously in cultivating high-quality wine operations. With<br />
award-winning wines and a fertile agricultural base, the Livermore Valley's success was akin to that<br />

Respect for the earth and compassion for all living things shape my personal philosophy and inspire<br />
the cuisine I create.<br />
My culinary training is the sum total of direct experience in a variety of kitchens and restaurants over<br />
the last 24 years. I use only sustainable meats and fish available locally. I have extensive<br />
knowledge of vegan and vegetarian cuisine as well as a wide range of ethnic foods and fusions. I<br />
am also very adaptable to special needs and diets, including living foods, macrobiotic, etc.<br />
With organic, local and seasonal ingredients as the focus, I approach cooking with a balance of<br />
positive intention and playful ingenuity. I am able to practice my food activism every day, from visits<br />
to the farmers market to support local organic farms, to serving delicious healthful cuisine to clients<br />
who sincerely care about personal and global health; we are all part of the change that needs to<br />
happen in this world.<br />

A breakaway cook is someone who's willing to take a culinary leap by combining everyday<br />
staples—chicken, eggs, common vegetables, pasta—with an international bazaar of readily<br />
available ingredients: miso, green tea, tamarind, chutney, star anise, pomegranate molasses,<br />
lemongrass, ginger and galangal . . . the list seems to grow everyday. The Breakaway Cook shows<br />
home cooks how to take these "global flavor blasts" down from the shelf and use them in new,<br />
time-saving ways. These intense flavors then get combined with the freshest of local organic<br />
produce, and are woken up even more with the liberal use of excellent salts, citrus, fresh herbs, and<br />
good olive oils and vinegars.<br />
Cookbook author and chef Eric Gower writes and creates highly innovative, seasonal, and locally<br />

Produces Animal Welfare Approved beef and pork.<br />
When farmer Guido Frosini began farming at Conlan Ranches - land that has been in his family<br />
since 1867 - he established True Grass Farms with the goal of growing the healthiest, highest<br />
quality foods possible, while maintaining the highest standards of land stewardship and animal<br />
welfare.<br />
Located in Valley Ford, California, True Grass Farms raises AWA-certified Black Angus cattle and<br />
California Kobe cattle, a Japanese breed renowned for their flavor and tenderness. They also<br />
currently hold the distinction of having the largest organic full-blood Wagyu cattle herd in California.<br />
The farm's pastures are also home to AWA-certified American Guinea and Blackworth hogs.<br />
True Grass Farms' commitment to maintaining healthy and diverse grassland is founded on a<br />
process of rotational grazing that involves the stewardship of the pasture as an entire ecosystem.<br />
This approach mimics the effect wild grazing animals have as they move across the land, which in<br />
turn results in more grass, wildflowers, songbirds and insects. Guido explains that the wide variety of<br />
grasses that the animals graze has a great impact on the flavor and quality of their beef and pork<br />
products.<br />
Another important focus at True Grass Farms is their interaction with their customers. “We believe<br />
that education and open communication between consumers and producers is vital to a healthier<br />
food system,” explains Guido. “Not only do we offer local and sustainable products at various<br />
Bay-area farmers' markets, but we are also the people selling our products at the booth. We always<br />
encourage our customers to ask us questions about our products - and their feedback is always<br />
welcome.”<br />
True Grass Farms also offer a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), where customers can<br />
subscribe to receive a regular monthly supply of fresh meat. Frequent farm tours and luncheons also<br />
provide a way for local customers to get more involved with the day-to-day activities on the farm. For<br />

and authentic Neapolitan pizza. The best Italian food has always been made with what's available<br />
locally. We take that tradition to heart and change our menus frequently depending on what our<br />
network of farmers and purveyors have available. Complementing the rustic menu, Wine<br />
Director/owner Shelley Lindgren selects wines that highlight the indigenous grapes from Campania<br />
and nearby regions. We also celebrate local farmers and purveyors by partnering with organizations<br />

The look is modern and sophisticated yet the California cuisine with rustic Italian influences is the<br />
grounding element in this San Francisco dining experience. The kitchen delivers a menu that<br />
celebrates Italian farm-to-table cooking. Breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner menus showcase the<br />
bounty of seasonal ingredients from the Ferry Plaza Farmer's Market. Some highlights include<br />
artichoke hearts with a salt cod "baccala" stuffing and Meyer lemon aioli; house-made Maine lobster<br />
and ham hock ravioli topped with a golden lobster zabaglione; and a New York steak served with a<br />
bone marrow and lemon risotto, dandelion greens and a Barolo sauce. The kitchen's handmade<br />
pastas and savory baker's pies draw raves including the playful "Margarita" pizza with nopales<br />
(cactus), pickled jalapeno, Fontina cheese, cilantro, a sea-salt crust and a wedge of lime to squeeze<br />
over the top.<br />

http://coffeehouse.ucdavis.edu<br />
The Coffee House is proud to be a sustainable operation on the UC Davis campus. What is Coffee<br />
House sustainability? <strong>Well</strong>, there are two main components:<br />
The first component is in our purchasing practices. The Coffee House uses its purchasing power<br />
to support the companies, practices and ideals that we feel help our local and global community. For<br />
instance, the Coffee House's coffee selection is organic, fair trade, and shade-grown, giving<br />
maximum benefit to the farmer and the land on which the coffee is grown. We have also developed<br />
a relationship with local farmers, through the Yolo County Growers Collaborative and the UC Davis<br />
Student Farms, to make organic and locally-grown fruits and vegetables available to our customers<br />
whenever possible.<br />
The second component of the Coffee House sustainability program is education. In addition to<br />
making sustainability-conscious purchasing decisions, the Coffee House believes in the importance<br />
of educating its customers on the benefits of living a sustainable lifestyle. Local and organic food<br />
items are labeled accordingly, creating an awareness of the path that their food has taken and how<br />
the customer's food selections can impact the global community. As an employer of over 200<br />
college students, the Coffee House also strives to bestow upon its employees a sense of pride in<br />
the social impact made by their employer.<br />

It's an eclectic crowd, but then this is Berkeley. The birthplace of free speech. The epicenter of<br />
eclecticism. With their love of good food, strong coffee and lively conversation, our customers give<br />
new meaning to the phrase "counter culture."<br />
Settle into a plush red Naugahyde booth, or find a place at the counter, and you're likely to be<br />
waited on by a cartoonist, a performance artist, a Doctor of Theology or a rock musician. Drop a<br />
quarter into the jukebox and you can choose from country, to rock, to classical, to opera. Anything<br />
gs. This is no ordinary diner.<br />
The food has never been ordinary either. We look at it this way: a BLT is a simple, wonderful thing.<br />
But imagine a BLT made with thick-cut pepper bacon, local lettuce, juicy slabs of fresh tomato and<br />
homemade mayo on toasted rye bread from the bakery down the block. It's still simple, but it's really<br />
wonderful.<br />
Now imagine an entire diner menu. From farm-style breakfasts to soups, salads, sandwiches,<br />
blue-plate specials, pastries and pies, all our dishes are made from scratch with fresh, local<br />
ingredients.<br />
And then there are the pancakes and the scones. People have been known to make special trips for<br />
them. And we're always getting requests for recipes. So eventually, we decided to share the wealth,<br />
and we began testing and hand-packaging our first scone and pancake mixes and selling them out<br />
of our takeout shop next door to the Diner.<br />
Frankly, we were a little overwhelmed by the response, and we soon found ourselves with a second<br />
business on our hands: Bette's Diner Products. Today, our mixes are selling like hotcakes in<br />
specialty food shops and grocery stores throughout the western U.S. They're still made using the<br />
same locally milled flours and premium, all-natural ingredients we use at the Diner.<br />
And now that you've found us online, you can buy them from anywhere in the world and enjoy them<br />
at your place any time. We hope they'll have your friends and family lining up for more.<br />
Enjoy!<br />

We began over 10 years ago as a small coffee bar in the SOMA district. As the lines grew longer<br />
and the neighborhood flourished, it became apparent that coffee alone was not enough. There was<br />
a demand for a comfortable space that provided quality yet reasonably priced food... so we evolved.<br />
Since then we've grown into an eclectic café with tasty and affordable comfort food. Brickhouse<br />
Cafe is run by founder, Fred Reeves, along with co-owner, Kim Kobasic. Our executive chef, Carlos<br />
Maldonado, keeps busy personalizing our consistently fresh and wholesome menu of American<br />
comfort food. The rustic, cozy and unpretentious atmosphere offers a reprieve from an often<br />
stylized, aloof and fusion-obsessed environment. Our beef is all natural and provided by Fred's<br />
family farm in eastern Washington. Our wild Sockeye Salmon is caught directly by Fred, who makes<br />
an annual pilgrimage to Bristol Bay, Alaska. Our salmon is offered both freshly grilled and<br />
house-smoked, in a variety of ways. We are now serving imported Bavarian Beer from breweries<br />
dating over 1000 years old, tasted and selected by the owners.<br />

We do a common thing, uncommonly well.<br />
We elevate the hamburger to an art form.<br />
Burger Lounge grew out of the idea that a hamburger should not only taste great, it should also<br />
utilize healthy ingredients produced in a sustainable environment. We provide a simple premium<br />
quality menu that appeals to health conscious diners, vegetarians, salad lovers and diners simply<br />
"hankering for a great hamburger".<br />
Our beef comes from one farm, grown by a small company where the animals are well treated and<br />
never spend time in a corporate "feed-lot". Their diet consists of tall green grass from beautiful<br />
Kansas prairie land. This is what nature intended cows to eat and nothing more. No hormones, no<br />
antibiotics, no grain, no corn, just beautiful green grass. These conditions produce a beef that is<br />
delicious and far better for you than conventionally grown beef.<br />
The future at Burger Lounge is bright and forward thinking. As a fast growing restaurant start-up, we<br />
represent a new take on an industry that has long suffered from poor quality over processed food<br />
products and inadequate guest service.<br />
Our business model represents the bridge between bloated corporate "fast food" culture and the<br />
"less is more, quality is everything" approach. Success is to do a common thing, uncommonly well. It<br />
is the people in our organization that make this possible.<br />
At Burger Lounge, our "guest first" philosophy, premium quality products and our environmentally<br />
responsible approach, all represent the future of the fast-casual market sector. As we grow, we<br />
continue to seek partners with like-minded ideas. Feel free to contact us anytime.<br />

We do a common thing, uncommonly well: We elevate the hamburger to an art form. Burger Lounge<br />
grew out of the idea that a hamburger should not only taste great, it should also utilize healthy<br />
ingredients produced in a sustainable environment. We provide a simple premium quality menu that<br />
appeals to health conscious diners, vegetarians, salad lovers and diners simply "hankering for a<br />
great hamburger." Our beef comes from one farm, grown by a small company where the animals<br />
are well treated and never spend time in a corporate "feed-lot." Their diet consists of tall green grass<br />
from beautiful Kansas prairie land. This is what nature intended cows to eat and nothing more. No<br />
hormones, no antibiotics, no grain, no corn, just beautiful green grass. These conditions produce a<br />
beef that is delicious and far better for you than conventionally grown beef. The future at Burger<br />
Lounge is bright and forward thinking. As a fast growing restaurant start-up, we represent a new<br />
take on an industry that has long suffered from poor quality over processed food products and<br />
inadequate guest service.<br />

Here we are. At a place that was created to remind us of the Old World in the middle of a city that<br />
has as much diversity as any European metropolis. We are a café with a neighborhood feel in the<br />
vibrant downtown business district of Oakland.<br />

And eat!<br />
The changing seasons shape our menus and provide inspiration. We also understand that food is<br />
made by people and for people. Therefore, we proudly support local and sustainable farmers,<br />
ranchers, and artisans.<br />
A homemade meal has a story. It's a family history unto itself. It's the act of creating satisfying<br />
homemade food, that drives us to share the experience with you.<br />

Established in downtown Berkeley in 1994, Cancun has always been committed to its fresh<br />
ingredients and Saldana family recipes. The big open spaces, high ceilings, and ancient Aztecan<br />
murals house organic, homemade, Mexican dishes, made to order, and with a salsa bar to cater to<br />
the most traditional or adventurous palette. Chef and owner, Jorge Saldana, can add farmer to his<br />
list of titles.<br />
Saldana Farms grows many of the organic and fresh ingredients used in each dish prepared.<br />
Cancun is proud to use organic ingredients for both the natural flavor of organic cooking creates and<br />
the health benefits it provides. Cancun serves only dishes made with love and appreciation for flavor<br />
and nourishment and a passion for cooking.<br />
Jorge's philosophy is simple and consistent: The best flavor comes from the freshness and quality of<br />
the sum of ingredients. Freshness comes from the dedication to carefully and thoughtfully selecting<br />
your ingredients. The Sonoma based, Saldana Farms grows all organic; peppers, potats, onions,<br />
carrots, corn, cilantro, garlic, tomats, tomatillos, squash, lettuce, cucumbers, blueberries,<br />
strawberries, cantaloupes, watermelons, peaches, and cactus. He raises his own chickens and uses<br />
only the freshest eggs as well. He searched long and hard for the perfect place to grow organic<br />
produce and farm all his ingredients. The land is located in the heart of a protected expanse where<br />
no pesticides can be used or other harmful chemicals can be spread.<br />
Jorge believes in the humanity of cooking and feeding. The health of our environment as well as our<br />
own health as individuals relies on the daily choices we make around consumption. <strong>Eat</strong>ing organic<br />
food is one way of participating in the greater health of both the individual and everything else<br />
surrounding. Jorge is proud to contribute to this end, “humans do not deserve to eat poison. We<br />
deserve to eat well, and be well, it is a choice we can make!”<br />

Founded by Alice Waters and an assortment of idealistic friends in 1971, Chez Panisse recently<br />
celebrated its thirty-fifth year with a restatement of its commitment to good food, community, and<br />
sustainability. It is very simple: Chez Panisse gathers its material from known and trusted purveyors,<br />
known to be committed themselves to sound and sustainable practices, and trusted to remain<br />
informed and responsive to these values in a rapidly changing society.<br />
By soundness Chez Panisse means healthful products and practices, as pure and natural as<br />
possible, without synthetic additives or pollutants, without unnecessary complexities of packaging<br />
and marketing. By sustainability Chez Panisse means conservation of resources, both natural<br />
resources like the families, businesses, and networks that plant and harvest and provide.<br />
Chez Panisse seeks farmers who know their seeds and soil, ranchers who care about the food their<br />
livestock eats, winemakers who know what their grapes have known, fish merchants who are<br />
concerned about the health of the seas. To them Chez Panisse adds kitchen and wait staff who care<br />
about the material of their work, knowing they will enjoy and take pride in the technical expertise<br />
they add to it. Chez Panisse reaffirms its commitment to all this, knowing that it is central to both the<br />
deepest and the most joyous of human activities: generosity, companionship, nourishment, growth.<br />
The restaurant, located downstairs, is open for dinner Monday through Saturday, by reservation<br />
only. The dinner, served in two seatings from 6:00 to 6:30 p.m. and 8:30 to 9:30 p.m., has always<br />
consisted of only one fixed-price menu, of three to four courses. The menu changes every night,<br />
designed to be appropriate to the season and composed to show off the finest ingredients<br />
obtainable.<br />
The Cafe at Chez Panisse, located upstairs, opened in 1980 to offer an alternative to the set menu<br />
served in the Restaurant downstairs. The Cafe offers a moderately priced A la carte menu for both<br />
lunch and dinner. The Cafe hours are Monday through Thursday 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 5 to 10:30<br />

Our food is made with the best ingredients we can find in our area: cultivated plants grown from<br />
heirloom seeds; wild-harvested leaves, flowers, barks and roots; local fish, seaweeds and coastal<br />
grasses; pastured meat, poultry and eggs from small farmers. These are the flavors of place. The<br />
process of finding ingredients and transforming them into cuisine are not separate events, but one<br />
continuous action, constantly informed by cultural expectations and new ideas. We brine, cure and<br />
smoke, as cooks have been doing for thousands of years, but we also embrace modern cooking<br />
techniques. Our dishes are animated by flavors and textures both familiar and strange—Northern<br />
Californian cuisine as it appears to us.<br />

When Drew and Myra Goodman came to California's Carmel Valley in 1984, they were determined<br />
young transplants from Manhattan, drawn to the natural beauty and richness of the land. Even<br />
before they turned over their first shovels full of soil, they believed strongly in doing the right thing.<br />
They settled on a 2.5-acre raspberry farm and decided that doing the right thing meant committing<br />
to farming this spectacular land organically, producing food they would want to eat themselves and<br />
would feel good about serving their families, friends, and neighbors. Their labor of love became<br />
Earthbound Farm.<br />
It wasn't long before Earthbound Farm was doing a lot of the right things. Undaunted by those who<br />
said it couldn't be done, in 1986 we became the first company to successfully launch prewashed,<br />
packaged salad for retail sale. When we introduced our mixed baby greens or “spring mix” to<br />
restaurants and supermarket produce aisles, we started a salad revolution. Today, gourmet salad<br />

greens and packaged salads have become staples of grocery baskets everywhere.<br />
We've been farming for 25 years now, and we've become the world's largest grower of organic<br />
produce. But our roots remain strong: our founders still guide the company, and our original<br />
commitment to farming organically has never wavered. We're dedicated to bringing the benefits of<br />
organic food — fresh, flavorful, and healthy — to as many people as possible.<br />
At Earthbound Farm, our unwavering commitment to organic farming comes from our concern for<br />
health. Farming organically helps keep our consumers and our environment healthy by avoiding the<br />
use of harmful chemicals. Organic farming focuses on building the fertility of the soil with natural<br />
materials, resulting in rich, vital field ecosystems that produce fruits and vegetables as pure and<br />
healthy as they were intended to be.<br />
Our farm-fresh organic salads, fruits, and vegetables are chosen by millions of people every day in<br />
supermarkets across North America and beyond — we're delighted to be sharing our passion with<br />
you in every delicious bite of Earthbound Farm organic produce.<br />

Bay ferry to our fresh fish dishes and our reinterpretation of some favorite seafood fare, Ferry Plaza<br />
Seafood has something for everyone. While a lot of fish sold commercially is farmed, you won't find<br />
any of it at Ferry Plaza Seafood. We believe in selling local fresh fish and seafood. We are a small<br />
fish market with amazing resources. We carry very little inventory so that we sell only the freshest<br />
fish, delivered to us multiple times throughout the day.<br />

The idea for FLACOS came about in 2000. Every time I went to a Mexican restaurant, the only item I<br />
could order from the menu was the, “Vegetarian Burrito” without cheese and sour cream. That got<br />
boring, so I decided to take matters into my own hands and took the advice of friends (Allison, J,<br />
Page 644
<strong>california</strong> guide: restaurants<br />
Sara, Ben and Nigel) who knew that I loved to create delicious vegan meals said to make and sell<br />
the food myself. So I did!<br />
In the Fall of 2001 was when, “FLACOS”, debuted at the Berkeley Farmers Market. I remembered<br />
some of the favorite foods I used to eat growing up when my sister (Arlene) and I would help our<br />
mom make homemade tortillas. I remember my mom roasting the chiles in the morning for a sauce<br />
to make tamales the next day. I asked my mom for the recipes that my grandmother had passed<br />
unto her and replaced all the animal ingredients with vegetarian based substitutes. Working thru<br />
countless nights and armed with two fresh pots of tamales for the masses, Carlos and I fed the few<br />
people who showed up to try this new idea of, “Vegan Mexican Food” on a cold Saturday morning.<br />
It was unheard of back then, and to this day, people always take a second glance after reading the<br />
sign. Slowly but steadily it caught on and the “regulars” kept coming back and bringing friends and<br />
family to try this new vegan food. I have met so many genuinely supportive, kind and cool people<br />
while at the market and I am grateful for that. Some are vegan, some are vegetarians and some are<br />
just people who enjoy deliciously authentic, hand prepared, Mexican food. No, you won't find any<br />
microwaved foods in our dishes. All of the ingredients are GMO-FREE and organic as season and<br />
availability permits.<br />
Thanks to the loyal support from you, our customers, FLACOS has a restaurant location opening in<br />
early March 2010 (3031 Adeline St., Berkeley CA 94703! We can also be found at all 3 Berkeley<br />
Farmers Markets.<br />
My never ending appreciation and undying gratitude gs out to all who have helped me in more ways<br />
than one these past 9 years. Linda and Carolyn for your great ideas and traveling daycare for those<br />
unexpected moments…. Elizabeth for helping me out in those tight spots…. Alfonso and Sandra for<br />
your great logo and t-shirt designs and technical support…. Beatriz, Mago and Martha at BAHIA….<br />
Mary, for your counsel and patience... Arlene and Fernando for the great stay at Hotel Jimenez….<br />
Anastasia for being patient with me and being my ever-faithful assistant…. Abuelitas Carmen &<br />
Santos "Chata" for passing on all those great recipes. I will always remember you both when I light<br />
the candle and make tamales - thanks Mom & Dad for trusting in me to carry on the recipes for all to<br />
enjoy. And to all of you who have, in one form or another given me guidance, courage and support<br />
in many ways - physically, emotionally and financially. Mil Gracias… see you at the Restaurant! :)<br />

Over 40 years ago, Barney and Kay Matheson began their pioneering work in the health food<br />
industry. Their goal was to make available to the public a complete nutrition center and in June of<br />
1959, they opened Full O' Life natural foods supermarket and restaurant. It was one of the first<br />
modern, up-to-the-minute natural food centers in the west. The market offered the largest selection<br />
of health grocery items, naturally produced dairy products and meats, supplements, and cosmetics.<br />
The most important feature of Full O' Life was the produce section where organically-grown fruits<br />
and vegetables were brought in daily from certified organic farms throughout Southern California.<br />
This unique service made the Mathesons famous in the field of health foods, and brought to the<br />
residents of Burbank and other nearby cities the first operation of its kind. Today Full O' Life remains<br />
a contemporary and innovative business, continually growing and improving over the years. In the<br />
restaurant, the food has always been hand prepared, using the freshest natural ingredients. It is our<br />
purpose to provide you with the healthiest and most nutritious home cooked foods possible. Fresh<br />
fruits and vegetables are used as long as they are available. The chicken and turkey we serve is<br />
naturally raised from Shelton Farms, with no chemicals, hormones or additives. Our homemade<br />
desserts are fresh baked daily, without the use of sugar or white flour.<br />

to New York where Quinn cooked at Union Pacific, Jean Georges, and Bouley while Karen worked<br />
with pastry at Gramercy Tavern, Jean-Georges Vongerichton's Mercer Kitchen, Jojo and Vong.<br />
They were once again united in the kitchen of Cortez in San Francisco where they worked as<br />
co-chefs, and were quickly names "Rising Stars" by the San Francisco Chronicle. It was during this<br />
time that they decided to open their own restaurant and after 3years at Cortez they moved back to<br />

In addition to being a renowned chef, author, and food and wine educator, many refer to Chef John<br />
Ash as the “Father of Wine Country Cuisine”. In 1980 he opened his namesake restaurant, John<br />
Ash & Company, in Santa Rosa, CA. It was the first restaurant in Northern California wine country to<br />
focus on local, seasonal ingredients used to create dishes that complemented the wines being<br />
made in the region. It continues to be critically acclaimed today.<br />
John has moved on to many other ventures since that first restaurant. Every Saturday local fans<br />
tune into The Good Food Hour, a food and wine radio talk show he has co-hosted for 23 years on<br />
KSRO (1350 AM) in Northern California. He has also hosted his own TV show on the Food Network<br />
and is occasionally featured in other TV shows. John travels the world teaching cooking classes to<br />
both home cooks as well as professionals. He is an adjunct instructor at the Culinary Institute of<br />
America at Greystone in the Napa Valley. He still holds true to his philosophy of cooking with<br />
ingredients that are ethically grown and created locally and in season. And for John, wine is always<br />
considered an essential part of the flavors of a meal.<br />
In 2008 John was voted “Cooking School Teacher of the Year” by the International Association of<br />
Culinary Professionals. His passion for teaching is matched only by his passionate voice on<br />
sustainable food issues, serving on the Board of the Chef's Collaborative, a national organization of<br />
chef's committed to sustainable and ethical food issues. He also is on the Board of Advisors of<br />
Seafood Watch, an educational initiative for sustainable seafood by the Monterey Bay Aquarium.<br />
John has written 3 books. The latest cookbook, John Ash Cooking One-on-One: Private Lessons in<br />
Simple Contemporary Food from a Master Teacher, was published spring 2004 by Clarkson Potter.<br />
It won a 2005 James Beard award. He has authored two other books: From the Earth to the Table:<br />
John Ash's Wine Country Cuisine and American Game Cooking. The former was awarded the IACP<br />
awards for Best American Cookbook and the Julia Child Cookbook of the Year. Chronicle Books<br />
released a completely revised and updated version of From the Earth to the Table in 2007.<br />

Harvey's interior design. The interplay of the rustic and the refined is evident in every room. From<br />
the sand-blasted wooden ceiling beams and the modern skylight to the hand-crafted stone hearth<br />
and the tailored lines of the furnishings, the ambiance is a mixture of old country warmth and clean,<br />
contemporary sophistication, a perfect palette for Le Balch's imaginative menu.<br />
It has been said that Josie has always had “one foot in the old world and the other in the new.” And<br />
with the opening of Josie Restaurant, diners now have the best of both!<br />

Julie's pathway into the world of tea and coffee began with her love of herbs. Starting in the western<br />
hills of Sonoma County, California in 1990, she raised aromatic and tonic herbs and flowers, which<br />
she sold at local farmers' markets. In 1995 Julie hooked up with the groovy folks at Taylor Maid<br />
Gardens and was given the wonderful opportunity to create the tea division of Taylor Maid Farms<br />
Organic Coffee & Tea. After spending the past 10 years in wholesale, Julie yearned to serve her<br />
customers face to face and create a soothing space for the community to share and learn.<br />
From a love of all things plant-made, Julie's coffee & tea garden is born.<br />

For us sustainability has a number of different meanings. Most basically defined it is the ability of an<br />
ecosystem to maintain ecological processes. This has many different facets.<br />
Socially it means supporting local business. This is one reason we buy from the farmers market and<br />
support a 100% local seafood program. Keeping our money within our community is good for<br />
everyone.<br />
Agriculturally it means propagation of heirloom varieties and crop rotation to promote natural<br />
fertilization of soil. Commercial crops drain the soil of particular nutrients needed by whatever is<br />
being grown. Lower soil nutrients compromise flavor. Additionally the owners of these local farms<br />
are looking out for the best interest of the land, this is how they make their living.<br />

Restaurateurs Bradley and Jody Ogden, and Michael and Leslye Dellar have been drawing national<br />
media attention to The Lark Creek Inn since opening in 1989. Surrounded by towering redwoods,<br />
the sunny yellow house (built in 1888) is a thorough delight from its entryway gardens to its<br />
stone-floored sun porch. Out back, an umbrella-shaded, and heat-lamp warmed garden beside a<br />
meandering creek is the perfect spot for lunch, Sunday brunch or summertime dinner. A<br />
wood-burning brick oven is the focal point of the main dining room, where a glass ceiling lets the<br />
outdoors in. We believe that seasonal farm fresh produce is the best. Visit the Marin County<br />
Farmer's Market early on any Thursday or Sunday and you will see us shopping there. We like to<br />
buy fish directly from the fisherman rather than wait until it is two days older and has been sold<br />
twice. Local ranchers raise cattle, lamb and quail to our specifications. It is a little extra work, but the<br />

Some arrive once a week with a friendly knock at the kitchen door, fresh meats and local<br />
batch-grown produce in hand. Others step under the lights and let their massive talents engulf the<br />
stage. And yet others generously present you their inherent passion for food, wine and<br />
entertainment. It's a combination that makes Moody's so special. Regardless of their role, each<br />
believes in the Moody's Mantra: “Fresh. Seasonal. Simple. Local.”<br />
Both Executive Chef Mark Estee and A&R Man J.J. Morgan lead this eclectic group with a<br />
good-natured but hands-on intensity. The two have created an establishment in the heart of<br />
Truckee, Calif., that is as much acclaimed bistro as it is relaxed drinkery. Set in the warmhearted<br />
early 19th Century ambiance of the Truckee Hotel, Moody's Bistro & Lounge smartly complements<br />
its fine dining with critically praised nationally touring jazz acts.<br />

New Moon Cafe originated in 1997 out of a love for food and community. The idea behind the<br />
restaurant was to create a space that offered big city dining, yet still carried a small town<br />
atmosphere. Years later, the restaurant is still rooted in the same community traditions. Just about<br />
everything that gs into the kitchen and onto the plate comes from local organic and sustainable<br />
farmers. All the meats are non-medicated and come from animals that were raised in natural,<br />
humane environments. This fish is all wild and line-caught, none of it is farmed, and the restaurant<br />
makes certain to only carry those species that are considered chemical/mercury-free and not<br />
threatened/endangered. At any one time, at least 1/2 to 3/4 of the produce is certified organic.<br />
Moreover, many of the stock ingredients, such as flour, are 100% organic. The menu even features<br />
organic wines, beers, and sodas.<br />

In 1993, One Market Restaurant's debut was one of the most eagerly anticipated events in San<br />
Francisco. Since then, One Market has become the standard for sophisticated dining in the city. The<br />
Page 706
<strong>california</strong> guide: restaurants<br />
current incarnation features the Michelin Star winning farm-to-table food of Chef Mark Dommen,<br />
who ably follows in the footsteps of One Market's celebrated founding chef and principal, Bradley<br />
Ogden. The restaurant features an open exhibition kitchen with a special "Chef's Table," an<br />
wood-fired grill, private dining rooms, and a luxurious bar. Add a top-notch staff and there's little<br />
wonder why One Market has been a preferred destination for dining from the opening day. We<br />
believe that seasonal farm fresh produce is the best. (We helped establish the Ferry Plaza Farmers'<br />
Market and now support it by shopping there.) We like to buy fish directly from the fisherman rather<br />
than wait until it is two days older and has been sold twice. Local ranchers raise cattle, lamb and<br />
quail to our specifications. It is a little extra work, but the quality is worth the effort. One Market<br />
serves lunch Monday through Friday from 11:30AM-2PM, and dinner Monday through Saturday<br />
from 5:30PM-9PM.<br />

It may be in the 415 area code, but Point Reyes Station seems as remote as the Irish coast.<br />
Chef-owner Christian Caiazzo brings an urban sophistication to this storefront on the main street<br />
that looks as if it could be a set for a spaghetti Western. He dubs his food "Point Reyes Italian"<br />
because everything comes from Marin County. The one-page menu reads homey with such items<br />
as "beans and greens," but they're prepared in such a way you'd swear it was the first time you'd<br />
tasted those ingredients. Pastry chef Laura Matis works magic with desserts, creating such things as<br />
brown sugar clove ice cream with poached pears. While the interior is modest, it has a warm,<br />
inviting feel.<br />

Opens for dinner at 5:30 pm, 7 days a week.<br />
Head Chef and Owner Sandy Gendel fuses organics with art, and community with luxury in his<br />
treasured progeny--Pace. True to its namesake, this Laurel Canyon sanctuary is a cozy and serene<br />
approach to refined Italian cuisine.<br />
Pace's rustic menu features classic pasta dishes, original salads created with seasonal produce,<br />
to-die-for entrees, and inventive ciabatta-crust pizzas. Gendel handpicks his organic ingredients<br />
from local farmer's markets twice a week so that "each morsel travels from the farm to your mouth in<br />
less than three days . . . and is infused with the care afforded by organic cultivation methods."<br />
Genuine care is also given to Pace's guests, who are greeted at their tables with toasted almonds<br />
and sublime Calabrese olives to awaken their taste buds. In addition, crayons are positioned atop<br />
their paper tablecloths to inspire a dash of creative expression before dinner.<br />
At Pace, the farmer's markets are valued not only for their superior fresh food, but Gendel also<br />
remains committed to supporting the local agriculture community. He encourages further community<br />
symbiosis by displaying for sale the eclectic and vibrant works of local artists, complimented by the<br />
wall of his patron's spontaneous creations. Pace also showcases live musicians in hopes to marry<br />
the artistry of cuisine, sight and sound.<br />
Gendel believes in a hands-on, leave-your-ego-at-the-door approach to the culinary experience.<br />
When not cooking in the kitchen, you can find him seating tables and welcoming peace and food<br />
lovers from around the world.<br />

And outside, the setting pairs nicely with Cupertino's temperate climate: You can find a place just as<br />
comfortably around the outdoor fire pit, under an umbrella, or at one of the exterior cabanas.<br />
The menu itself is an array of textures and tastes as well. Chef Brad Kraten and his staff have<br />

The husband and wife team that is the heart of Patrona are Bridget Harrington and Craig Strattman.<br />
Their creativity, vision and love of food and wine are what make Patrona such a special place to<br />
dine.<br />
As chefs we are extremely honored to have as our medium these amazing products we call food<br />
that are produced not by humans but by the earth herself. It is impossible for us to escape the awe<br />
of their simple perfection and beauty. At our restaurant, we have adopted Patrona as the symbol for<br />
this great force of nature and spirit that guides us. "Patrona", in both Spanish and Italian, literally<br />
means Patron Saint. Colloquially, it refers to the female visionary leader who provides the<br />
environment, means and spirit for artists, craftspeople and professionals to flourish. The earth is<br />
certainly the ultimate Patrona. We are privileged to work for her.<br />
The mission of Patrona is to create a sustainable business that benefits the people with whom we<br />
work, supports the communities in which we do business, protects and sustains the environment<br />
and achieves economic prosperity. We aspire to honor, embody and reflect the grace, beauty and<br />
generosity of the earth and let her spirit guide us in each decision that we make and action that we<br />
take.<br />

Picante is an expression of love for Mexico. A celebration of real Mexican cuisine, not of those<br />
imposters that are poured out of cans. Love is why we grind corn daily for our tortillas, import<br />
Mexican herbs, spices, and chiles, and have local artisans craft cheeses that replicated the nuances<br />
of fresh Mexican cheeses. Love also explains everything from the naturally raised meats we grill,<br />
simmer and stew for some of our dished, to the Mexican folk art we sleuth out for our walls. Now,<br />
the traditional food at Picante may not be coming from a gradnmother's kitchen somewhere in<br />
Mexico. But, judging from the reactions we get, it's pretty close.<br />

We at Pizzaiolo believe that the simple act of feeding people is at the core of what it is to be human.<br />
We focus on the ritual of taking life from the world around us and presenting it to you to sustain your<br />
own life. We believe that taking part in this ritual is vital and deserving of the utmost respect to the<br />
plants and animals we choose to source and to you, our friends, family and customers. We also<br />
believe that this ritual is one that all Americans took part in until about seventy five years ago. There<br />
is nothing fancy about it, in fact its pretty much how we have all been eating for hundreds of years.<br />
In accordance with these simple ideas we have come up with a few basic rules we try to follow.<br />
Whenever we can, about 98% of the time, we buy only locally grown, organic, seasonal meat and<br />
produce. We buy from small farmers we know and love, people we eat with, drink with, and share<br />
our lives with. We buy whole animals from ranchers we know and trust: We buy organic flour, milled<br />
in Oakland by people who bring their children to Pizzaiolo for dinner. We change the menu every<br />
day to reflect the offerings of these remarkable local food purveyors in their freshest most beautiful<br />
form.<br />

Tusk's cookery has resulted in what critics call simple yet luxurious, pristine, and divine fare.<br />
Situated in a historic Victorian building in a quiet, residential neighborhood, Quince is rather small,<br />
with only 15 tables to spare. Reservations are required. Open for dinner.<br />

In 1995, Marcos Mouet realized his dream of opening a restaurant that served fresh, mostly organic,<br />
home-made Mexican cuisine. That dream of making nutritious and delicious food from scratch<br />
began when he was a young man in his 20s. He had fond memories of this time, before<br />
refrigeration, when most people lived on "Ranchos" and grew their own food. Thus, the restaurant<br />
Ranchos was opened with the traditional spirit of the "Ranchos" of Mexico.<br />

Jimmy Schmidt's first Coachella Valley Rattlesnake opened at the Trump29 Casino in Coachella in<br />
2002 at the behest of Jimmy's pal Donald Trump. Trump had been trying to persuade Jimmy to<br />
open restaurants in his Atlantic City casinos, but Jimmy didn't want another restaurant in a cold<br />
climate and asked Trump to call him when he needed a great restaurant in a warm climate - which<br />
he did!<br />
Ownership of the casino reverted back to the 29 Palms Band of Mission Indians in 2005, and<br />
Rattlesnake's lease was ending in 2006, so when The H.N. and Frances C. Berger Foundation<br />

approached Jimmy about moving into the brand new Classic Club golf facility they were creating in<br />
Palm Desert in 2007, he took one look at the 63,000 square foot clubhouse overlooking nearly 400<br />
acres of stunning turf and mountains and signed on.<br />
Home to the world famous Bob Hope Chrysler Classic tournament every January, the Classic Club<br />
is a public golf facility endowed by The Berger Foundation. The Rattlesnake Cafe on the 9th hole<br />
provides light fare for golfers, while the full restaurant and bar on the second floor offer exceptional<br />
cuisine in a casual/elegant environment.<br />

Named for a raven pair who moved here in 1995 before we broke ground for the dining room,<br />
Ravens' Restaurant is the vegetarian restaurant located at the Stanford Inn by the Sea. We feature<br />
the best in vegetarian and vegan cuisine. We recognize that most of our guests are not vegetarians<br />
and have been challenged to produce satisfying and delicious meals for those often suspicious of<br />
vegetarian dishes. In order to accomplish this, we have assembled chefs from throughout the United<br />
States in a co-creative, cooperative kitchen in which we work together with the common goal to<br />
nourish and satisfy, while reducing our impact on the environment. All of us are committed to<br />
preparing outstanding cuisine, supporting sustainable agriculture and organic farming through our<br />
purchasing, minimizing waste and recycling all manufactured items and food wastes. Although<br />
organic produce is becoming more widely produced outside the United States, providing year<br />
around supplies of commonly seasonal produce, our approach has remained essentially seasonal.<br />
What is available in northern California is generally what we serve. All of the dairy products and<br />
eggs served are organic, and the restaurant also makes use of a certified organic garden on the<br />
property. Using French intensive, biodynamic, and organic methods, we raise a wide variety of<br />
lettuces, cabbages, spinach, radishes and gourmet vegetables. Some beds are used to provide cut<br />
flowers and others are rose beds. We are also experimenting with a wide variety of fruit trees,<br />
learning which will flourish on the coast.<br />

Rustic Bakery was created to address the growing Artisan Cheese market in the United States.<br />
Seeing that there were no handmade Artisan crackers available to compliment the increasingly<br />
sophisticated cheeses being produced, the founders of Rustic Bakery decided to develop a line of<br />
organic flatbreads in 2005.<br />
In January 2006, Rustic Bakery incorporated and with the help of its investment group, purchased<br />
and moved into its new location in Larkspur. The bakery has a 50 year history and was the site of<br />
the much beloved "Bread & Chocolate" bakery before. After completing renovation, the bakery<br />
opened its doors on March 3, 2006 to a warm response from the neighborhood.<br />
Rustic Bakery flat breads are baked by hand with organic grains and seeds, using local ingredients<br />
whenever possible. The flat breads are all low in fat, high in fiber and full of nutrients making them<br />

The dishes at Saha are a reflection of the creative combination of the chef's native Yemenese<br />
upbringing and his yearn to explore and embrace the delicacies of the countries he's traveled to and<br />
adopted as his home. Only the freshest ingredients are used, and there is a large variety of<br />
vegetarian options (and even a few vegan ones). The team at Saha also strives to use the best in<br />
environmental practices, using biogredable take-out containers, and non-toxic cleaning products.<br />
Most of the food prepared at Saha is organically grown when possible. The quality of the food is of<br />
the utmost importance, and the name of the restaurant, Saha, which translates as, "to good health",<br />
is taken very seriously.<br />

At the Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens, we endeavor to use as much in-season, locally and<br />
organically grown produce as possible. We do this not just because we believe in the very simple<br />
principles of freshness and sustainability, but also because fresh, local and organic tastes better.<br />
Sure, it's better for you too, but let's not get too caught up in that or someone might think we're crazy<br />
health nuts here at Stone. Sure, some of us are, but try not to pay any attention to that. Instead, pay<br />
attention to the way our food tastes, and do your best not to think that it's healthy for you in any way<br />
(have another onion ring and try not to concentrate on the beer goodness in it).<br />

Not surprising to hear that we also use 100% naturally raised meats. And the same fresh / honest /<br />
artisanal / natural standard gs for all our food. Our sauces are all house-made unless specifically<br />
mentioned otherwise in the menu. Our kimchee and pickled items are also all house-made. Of<br />
course, it is crazy expensive, and our prices reflect some of that reality. However, we also feel it is<br />
the much, much better way to go. So that's the way we roll.<br />
Greg Koch & Steve Wagner, co-founders of Stone Brewing, have been involved in the international<br />
Slow Food movement since 2000. Slow Food, so-named as the organization represents the<br />
antithesis to fast food, promotes getting “back to the table” and celebrates artisanal, natural and<br />
old-world approaches to food. And so do we! And considering the fact that the world has become a<br />
“global village,” we have decided to celebrate our love of all things culinary by drawing freely from<br />
cultures and dishes from all over the world. Thus the word “world” in our name Stone World Bistro &<br />

Our idea is to create a local gathering place where you can go for the home cooked meal you crave,<br />
listen to great music and relax in a space that feels comfy like home and cool like the corner spot<br />
where your friends meet after work.<br />
We believe there should be a conscious connection between the one who eats the food and the<br />
source of that sustenance. These days people eat on the run. If we can't slow you down, at least we<br />
can tell you a little about what you are eating.<br />
The majority of our produce comes fresh picked daily from Scarborough Farms in Oxnard, where<br />
Wayne, Anne, and the rest of the family grow things naturally. When we have to buy things that<br />
Scarborough dsn't plant, we choose from a handful of small local farms that believe that picking at<br />
the peak of ripeness leads to a more delicious and healthier dish for you. We use organic<br />
ingredients wherever we can.<br />
Our beef comes from grain-fed hormone free cows. Our chickens are raised on the range of<br />
Petaluma County, not in cages. They are nourished with grain instead of hormone-rich feed. Our<br />
tuna is line caught from the Pacific.<br />

Our dedication to using only the finest ingredients extends not only to the raw products but to<br />
everything else we use in our recipes - cold pressed olive oils, mustards, vinegars, cheeses and<br />
wonderful nuts and ground spices all help bring you the best dishes we can make. Likewise, we<br />

proponent for fair trade, educating the public about it's importance and actively encouraging other<br />
roasters to consider the merits of purchasing their coffee from Certified Fair Trade sources. You can<br />
also purchase online with us.<br />

The restaurant menu changes daily according to what is fresh, seasonal and of highest quality.<br />
Local, organically produced ingredients are our first consideration when designing new menu items.<br />
We like to draw on our local producers in and around the Livermore Valley. The restaurant garden,<br />
tended by Diane Dovholuk, provides the restaurant year-round with herbs, vegetables, edible<br />
flowers and citrus. The restaurant kitchen supports the completion of the food production cycle by<br />
contributing kitchen food waste to the composting area. Diane is a master gardener and composter,<br />
passionate about all aspects of recycling and responsible use of resources. The efforts at the<br />
restaurant mirror those company wide and all the way through the vineyards. Wente Vineyards<br />
focuses its efforts in sustainable agriculture in two areas. The first is an innovative program that<br />
grows and recycles vineyard cover crops into an organic fertilizer and soil enhancer used to create<br />
what is called "living soils" - soils that renew themselves. The second approach involves creative<br />
farming practices that minimize the need for pesticides by encouraging biodiversity in the vineyard.<br />
Frequent conversations with all purveyors regarding what's new, fresh and readily available are key<br />
to our menu development. Excursions to local farms, cheese makers and food shows help to keep<br />
us informed on what is new and furthers our relationships with purveyors and farmers. We make<br />
everything from scratch. We are proud to work with fresh high quality ingredients. Our message to<br />
the kitchen staff is to handle each product minimally and with great respect so that each ingredient<br />
remains wholesome and nutritious.<br />

and harvested expressly for use at the restaurant. The farm is a natural extension of the chefs<br />
approaches to cooking. They choose items of only the finest quality to create a menu that reflects<br />

315 East Broadway, Vista, CA 92084<br />

http://yellowdeli.com/home-vista.html<br />
Long ago in the old village of Vista an idea sprouted… Wouldn't it be nice to have a place in this<br />
unusually quiet and uncrowded part of Southern California for a pleasant place where we could<br />
meet friends and serve good food…<br />
So, early in the year of 2003 this property was acquired on Broadway… an old one room dilapidated<br />
building stood next to the old Adobe offices. That little building was torn down and then began a very<br />
long process of learning for us. We got to know about building permits, architects, engineers, many<br />
fees, etc. Finally, after many trials and even more errors, we began building our Deli in 2008.<br />
From the ground up, our nice Deli building began to take shape. And after many more difficulties<br />
and many more fees, building permits, architects, and engineers, we finally finished the task. It took<br />
seven years all together. On Feb. 14, 2010 we opened our doors.<br />
So, the nice idea is now a living reality: the Yellow Deli.<br />
Some may say that we're dreamers, but we're not the only ones…<br />
Even longer ago, and even farther away, the idea actually sprouted up of a society where people<br />
could work together and live together in peace and harmony. The “utopian” ideal of a society of<br />
complete sharing has come and gone across the face of history over the years, but few realize that<br />
the roots of this type of living was demonstrated most vividly in the “First Church” (which was entirely<br />
made of up Jewish believers in the Messiah) as they practiced complete communal living… this fact<br />
is documented clearly in the Bible. Somehow it must have appeared to them to be the perfect way to<br />
live out all the demands of Love, going the “extra mile”. So, why not live that way today?<br />
That is a good question. It seemed to us like love demanded that kind of “together lifestyle”. So, for<br />
Page 788
<strong>california</strong> guide: restaurants<br />
the last 40 years, we have been working together as a co-operative, raising our families together.<br />
Not until the early 2000's did we actually start a community here in Vista. Some of us are originally<br />
from this area and were very happy to become part of such a community right here. We support<br />
ourselves by organic farming (Morning Star Ranch Organic Avocado Ranch, Valley Center) and sell<br />
our produce at the various Farmers Markets in our area. The Deli is able to serve you fresh, organic,<br />
and local produce some of which comes from our own ranch. We also have woodshops where we<br />
work together, making nice doors and windows and cabinets (such as the ones you see in the Deli).<br />
We do high quality work and have two woodshops in Vista, (one on Mercantile, and one on, S.<br />
Santa Fe, Vista). And now we work together to run our little Deli built with great care by all of us<br />
together…<br />
So, we have good organic food, nice craftsmanship, and a nice environment to eat a meal.. that is<br />
The Yellow Deli!<br />
Our way of life is different and we do not mind one bit answering your questions. As Henry David<br />
Thoreau once wrote: “If a man ds not keep peace with his companions, perhaps it is because he<br />
hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far<br />
away.”<br />
We are just extremely happy to be here in Vista and to have actually, finally opened our doors.<br />
We hope your dining experience is pleasing and you can be sure, “We are here for you…”<br />

Trelio Restaurant is locally owned and operated by Sommelier Chris Shackelford and Chef Mike<br />
Shackelford. Located in the heart of California's San Joaquin Valley, every opportunity is taken to<br />
utilize only local products and purveyors. Most of the produce is purchased at Fresno's Vineyard<br />
Farmers Market and other local organic farmers such as T and D Willey Farms and Il Giardino<br />
Organico. All other ingredients are purchased through a local distributor, The Chef's Helper, and by<br />
shopping at local markets instead of using large delivery truck operations. Meats are sourced from<br />
local ranchers and meat markets hand picked by the Chef and purchasing team. The wine list is<br />
comprised completely of small production "garagiste" wineries and through small niche brokers<br />
instead of large wholesalers. The cuisine style is "Regional American" where not only are the dishes<br />
designed around local ingredients, but also taking into consideration the local culture. The very<br />
quality and diversity of small farmers' is a daily inspiration; enough to give credit on the menu where<br />
credit is due.<br />

inspired menu features the ingredients from our local Napa gardens adhering to the seasonal<br />
calendar and participating with local producers for products we are unable to farm contributing to a<br />
greener earth by relying less on global food sources and those products with the highest carbon<br />

In a world of mass-produced foods and chain stores, there stand a few owner-operated businesses<br />
that strive to offer to their communities a refreshing alternative. San Francisco Fish Market is one<br />
such business. For seventeen years I owned and operated Rockridge Fish in the Market Hall in<br />
Oakland. My staff and I treated our customers to a dazzling array of seafood products and worked<br />
hard to educate them about the joys of cooking with and eating fish. Many of our customers followed<br />
us to our new location in San Francisco's historic Ferry Building, where we've been carrying on the<br />
tradition since January, 2004.<br />

quality, best flavor, adheres to the strictest levels of safety, and has been raised humanely with little<br />
impact to the environment. To the USDA, natural meat is meat that has not added hormones and<br />
has been minimally produced. Yet the label "all-natural" is becoming more common in the meat<br />
industry, often as a marketing tool. To Baron's Meat & Poultry all-natural means no hormones, no<br />
antibiotics, human-grade vegetarian feed (no meat byproducts, feathers, textile scraps, or any other<br />
additives humans would not eat themselves), humane handling, pasture-raised when possible with<br />
minimal impact to the land, and organic feed when possible.<br />

http://www.chautauquanaturalfoods.com<br />
Chautauqua is committed to bringing our customers food that supports not only their personal health<br />
but also the planet's. Our food is free of GMO, RBST's in milk, preservatives, metabisulfates,<br />
transfats, hydrogenated oils, high fructose corn syrup and other ingredients that do not support a<br />
healthy lifestyle. For over 25 years Chautauqua Natural Foods has taken on the role of gatekeeper<br />
in screening food for adulterants.<br />
The increasing trend toward "industrial organics" has expanded our offerings of regional and local<br />
products. We source fruits and vegetables from local farmers like the Garberville Community Farm<br />
and our local farmers market. We source local honey and bee pollen. Our eggs come from various<br />
local producers.<br />
Chautauqua is a partner with the Humboldt County chapter of the Community Alliance with Family<br />
Farmers (C.A.F.F). C.A.F.F. sponsors events such as the "Buy Fresh Buy Local" program and the<br />
designation of September as Humboldt County's local food month.<br />
Organics are always our first choice, but we work closely with "transitional" farmers to enable them<br />
to make the switch from conventional to organic agriculture. We do carry a small percentage of<br />
grocery products that do not meet the USDA organic standards. These items have been carefully<br />
screened and selected to meet our health and wellness quality standards.<br />
Chautauqua also screens for good corporate citizenship. As corporations have increasingly<br />
purchased independent providers purely to cash in on the expanding organic base, often their<br />
actions and investments do not support the organic lifestyle. These products have been removed<br />
from our shelves.<br />
Our Cafe Minou offers innovative and traditional foods made with the finest organic ingredients. As<br />
the seasons change we invent new dishes, inspired by the harvest, availability of local foods, and<br />

It has been just eight years since Sue Conley and Peggy Smith launched Tomales Bay Foods in a<br />
renovated barn in Point Reyes Station, California. After successful careers as Bay Area chefs, the<br />
women shifted their focus to Tomales Bay. Their new market would carry the region's finest natural<br />
foods and other products, from prepared dishes, fresh, organic fruits and vegetables, wines and<br />
cheeses. Sue and Peggy began to make cheese from the pure, natural, organic milk produced by<br />
Straus Family Dairy, and Cowgirl Creamery was born. All Cowgirl Creamery cheeses are still made<br />
at the barn in Point Reyes Station.<br />
In 2003, we opened Cowgirl Creamery Cheese Shop at the Ferry Building, along San Francisco's<br />
Embarcadero. The location is incredible! There are many other shops to visit, as well as wonderful<br />

Cowgirl team. When you visit the creamery, you can observe cheesemaking in action through a<br />
glassed-in viewing area. Afterward, you'll want to visit our cheese counter to taste a variety of great<br />
artisan cheeses. Our cheese mongers will be glad to answer your questions and provide<br />
suggestions. In addition to delicious cheese, we stock cheese books, cheese knives, cheese<br />
boards, and special condiments to accompany your cheese.<br />

Over 40 years ago, Barney and Kay Matheson began their pioneering work in the health food<br />
industry. Their goal was to make available to the public a complete nutrition center and in June of<br />
1959, they opened Full O' Life natural foods supermarket and restaurant. It was one of the first<br />
modern, up-to-the-minute natural food centers in the west. The market offered the largest selection<br />
of health grocery items, naturally produced dairy products and meats, supplements, and cosmetics.<br />
The most important feature of Full O' Life was the produce section where organically-grown fruits<br />
and vegetables were brought in daily from certified organic farms throughout Southern California.<br />
This unique service made the Mathesons famous in the field of health foods, and brought to the<br />
residents of Burbank and other nearby cities the first operation of its kind. Today Full O' Life remains<br />
a contemporary and innovative business, continually growing and improving over the years. In the<br />
restaurant, the food has always been hand prepared, using the freshest natural ingredients. It is our<br />
purpose to provide you with the healthiest and most nutritious home cooked foods possible. Fresh<br />
fruits and vegetables are used as long as they are available. The chicken and turkey we serve is<br />
naturally raised from Shelton Farms, with no chemicals, hormones or additives. Our homemade<br />
desserts are fresh baked daily, without the use of sugar or white flour.<br />

Gibson Canyon Farm is a small family run farm in Solano County California. Our mission is to<br />
provide our community with the best tasting organically grown fruits and vegetables while farming as<br />
good neighbors both to the people we feed and the earth we share. The gardens provide a<br />
vegetable selection including beans, cucumbers, eggplant, peppers, summer squash, tomats<br />
(including a large selection of Heirloom tomats), and winter squash. We also have walnuts and<br />
almonds. And, to top it off, we offer honey and "pick your own" fresh flowers and herbs.<br />
The children's garden is a place for children to explore and experience a taste of farm life. Raised<br />
garden beds are brimming with potats, carrots, and green beans and children are encouraged to<br />
pick or dig up something to take home. Goats, chickens, pigs, bunnies and our resident kitty<br />
"Pickles" all love the attention from the children.<br />
We are proud to be pesticide free and to grow some of the best tasting varieties of fruits and<br />
vegetables! We also market produce grown by other Solano County farmers to help offer our<br />
customers lots of variety and choice.<br />

Jack Creek Farms is a small 5th generation family farm. Our farm is nestled in the coastal foothills<br />
of Central California 6 miles west of Templeton and Paso Robles. Our farm stand is located directly<br />
off of scenic Highway 46 West, in the heart of San Luis Obispo County wine country. We have RV<br />
and tour bus parking with easy highway access.<br />
Folks who visit our farm are invited to take a few moments to reconnect with simpler times past.<br />
Stroll through our demonstration gardens and antique farm equipment display. Pick a sunflower,<br />
olallieberries or a basket of sun kissed vine ripe tomats. Discover long forgotten heirloom varieties<br />
of fruits and vegetables enjoyed many generations ago. Let your kids plant a sunflower seed in a<br />
pot to take home with them. Try your hand at throwing a lasso and rope "Bailey" our mascot roping<br />
steer. Pump our old-fashioned water pump barrels or sit down and enjoy a leisurely game of<br />
checkers. In the fall kids love our u-pick pumpkin patch. Sample apple cider slushees and<br />
pomegranate juice granitas. Browse our country store or visit with the farm animals. Enjoy a freshly<br />

made caramel apple or a honey ginger cookie from our on-site bakery. We use our own free-range<br />
ranch eggs, honey, freshly ground whole wheat flour, apples, peaches, olallieberries, walnuts,<br />
pumpkins, etcetera, that are grown on our farm in our delicious baked goods. If you like fudge, we<br />
make what we believe will be the best you have ever tasted. Best of all . . . take home a memory!<br />
We use naturally grown farming methods and believe firmly in being good stewards of the land. We<br />
provide you with an opportunity to put a face on your farmer, and to learn where your food comes<br />
from.<br />
We plant, tend, and harvest by hand which results in a high quality product. Summer produce is<br />
picked fresh daily and at its peak of ripeness. We are pleased to offer you fresh and wholesome<br />
foods, old-fashioned hospitality, and a true taste of country each time you stop by.<br />
Check out the links to the left to learn about the many activities and products we have available from<br />
our farm's roadside stand. We host group tours which can include lunch or cider and cookies. Our<br />
tour focus changes with the seasons - Herbs & Veggies in the summer and Gourds & Pumpkins in<br />
the fall.<br />
With your support we hope to continue to supply our visitors and community with fresh and<br />
wholesome fruits, vegetables, wheat berries, wheat flour, juice and baked goods.<br />
By supporting small family farms, you have helped to not only preserve our rural character and<br />
cherished open space, you have also helped to preserve our family traditions and heritage.<br />
Thank you and see you soon!!!<br />

Jimtown Store is nestled in the vineyards of the Alexander Valley; one of Sonoma County,<br />
California's premium wine growing regions. It has been a landmark since 1895, when it served as<br />
the general store, post office and meeting place for residents of the valley. Jimtown features a<br />
diverse menu including fresh local products, weekly specials, with plenty of vegetarian options. We<br />
are favorite lunch stop for neighbors and tourists alike. Enjoy lunch on our vine-covered patio with a<br />
Jimtown sandwich and a glass of local wine. Our kitchen, under the direction of the talented chef<br />
Peter Brown, prepares hearty seasonal soups, salads, entrees, signature sandwiches, and desserts<br />
daily from scratch. Inspiration comes from favorite American family recipes, drawn from the culinary<br />
traditions of generations of immigrants, from European settlers to more recent arrivals from Mexico<br />
and across the Pacific. Our food is prepared using home-grown California ingredients with<br />
Mediterranean and Meso-American accents. We honor the growers by preparing dishes with<br />
restraint, letting the flavors complement one another, each allowed its own voice. The food we serve<br />
flatters the wine our neighbors make, and we hope they enjoy the compliment.<br />

We work directly with small family farms, seeking out heirloom and forgotten fruits, hoping to revive<br />
the tastes of our collective pasts. These fruits, once commonly grown and available, are now rare<br />
and almost extinct. Supporting the farmers who grow them helps to ensure that these varieties of<br />
fruit will not be lost.<br />
Following traditional methods of preserving, organically grown fruit is hand-cut and stove-top cooked<br />
in small batches with the addition of a minimal amount of organic sugar and no commercial pectin.<br />
Page 874
<strong>california</strong> guide: stores<br />
Endeavoring to utilize the entire fruit, we use the seeds and membranes of citrus to make our own<br />
pectin for marmalades, and candy the peel. Inspired by traditional pairings, we infuse the flowers<br />
and herbs we grow into the fruit to create complex flavors.<br />
Each pot yields an average of 8-10 jars and is hand poured. Letterpress labels are applied by hand.<br />
It is our belief that this close attention to detail and extremely small scale yields the best quality<br />
possible in a preserved fruit.<br />
All of our fruit is grown within the U.S., the majority in Northern California. It is grown organically by<br />
sustainable agricultural methods without the use of synthetic chemicals, allowing the fullest flavors in<br />
the fruit to develop. Capturing these tastes is the craft of our business.<br />
Our complete line is available direct from us online, at the San Francisco Ferry Plaza Farmers'<br />
Market, and at The Still-Room Shop in Berkeley.<br />
Our products are also available from select retailers. Variety varies by outlet.<br />

Since, so few African Americans are actually involved in farming, we believe, there is a correlation<br />
between the few Black farmers actually farming, and the lack of fresh fruits and vegetables available<br />
in our communities.<br />
We believe, if we promote and support African Americans to participate in agriculture, we will have<br />
mo' access to healthy foods, create new jobs, reduce the cost of food and have a better diet.<br />
Currently, the news concerning the Black farmers class action settlement of $1.25 billion dollars is<br />
making the headlines, however, a question we will have to prove is: can this settlement reverse the<br />
decline of Blacks in agriculture?<br />
OUR ROLE<br />
Mo' Better Food's role has been to protect, preserve, and promote the well being of Blacks in<br />
agriculture by establishing markets for our produce.<br />
in communities that lack access to fruits and vegetables first.<br />
OUR STRATEGY<br />
Establish markets within the community.<br />
FOOD SCARCITY<br />
Today, many predominately African American communities throughout the United States have been<br />
defined as "food insecure." A term used to say, the residents do not have access to fresh fruits and<br />
vegetables.<br />
For example, the state of California has the largest agricultural industry in the United States, yet<br />
most of the Black communities within California are food insecure.<br />
OUR PLEDGE<br />
We must provide places that enable our farmers to get their food to the people. The more we do<br />
these things, the more we will build Healthy economics.<br />

Monterey Fish is based in San Francisco, California. While we are small enough to provide<br />
individual personalized service, our sales volume is great enough to allow us to buy in volume<br />
directly from local boats and producers nationwide, enabling us to sell the best quality seafood at<br />
fair prices.<br />
Over the years, we've worked to establish a reputation for quality not just with our customers, but<br />
also with our network of suppliers. Our suppliers know that if they've got premium product, we're<br />
willing to pay for it. We at Monterey Fish do our best to bring you the freshest, quality seafood<br />
available. Setting the standard for quality and service has been our obsession since 1979.<br />
We follow the strictest guidelines when it comes to seafood handling and expect all our suppliers to<br />
do the same. We welcome periodic inspection by the FDA, State and local Health Services. We are<br />
HACCP compliant, meaning we comply to a strict set of regulations implemented by the Federal<br />
Government to ensure the wholesomeness of seafoods. Monterey fish uses only suppliers, growers,<br />
producers and fishermen who are HACCP compliant and have a detailed HACCP plan on record. All<br />
our shellfish comes from certified waters which are tested by the appropriate state and local health<br />
agencies weekly.<br />

Mountain Marketplace stands out for its exceptional selection of organic vegetables and fruit. The<br />
shelves feature much of the usual health store offerings such as vitamins and supplements, but<br />
according to owner Drew Franklin, it's this wide variety of organic veggies and fruits that sets<br />
Mountain Marketplace apart and keeps people coming back. As a testament to its bounty, the store<br />
sets up blue signs for organic produce and yellow signs for conventional and at the time of this<br />
writing there were over thirty signs and only four of them were yellow. During the summer, much of<br />
the organic produce is actually locally-grown. Aside from fruits and veggies, Mountain Marketplace<br />
also offers organic dairy products, including milk, cheese, and yogurts; and fresh eggs from local<br />
farmers.<br />

Today, Mr Espresso has grown into a Bay Area institution - as a quality roaster and an established<br />
provider of espresso equipment, service, and training to a sizable share of coffeehouses and<br />
restaurants in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond.<br />
Mr. Espresso continues to be family-owned and operated with two generations of Di Ruoccos<br />
working together in the Oakland showroom and roasting facility to ensure that what we began over<br />
30 years ago will endure.<br />
Along with the new generation and keeping with the pace of change in our industry, the old world<br />
methods we use are evolved through education and experience. A balance of art versus science is<br />
now our goal. Our coffee now has a distinctively Italian American profile, maintaining the emphasis<br />
on espresso while rounding out our selection with amazing single origins and blends, at a variety of<br />
roasts.<br />
We have seen many trends come and go, and to our knowledge, things have a tendency to work in<br />
cycles. Without deviating from the things that have contributed to our success over the years, we are<br />
always striving and pursuing new ways towards higher quality and a greater diversity of tastes.<br />
We think you'll find that Mr. Espresso strikes that wonderful balance between time honored<br />
traditional methods and the emerging trends of the marketplace.<br />

supporting our local farmers. Customers can purchase seasonal, locally grown vegetables, fruit,<br />

farms in the area and are 100% naturally raised. Currently available are beef, lamb and pork; and<br />

In my family, farming is a passion. My great, great grandfather farmed in Placer County, and we<br />
continue his tradition today, 150 years later.<br />
My grandfather, Harold Leak, was 19 years old when he bought 40 acres in rural Placer County and<br />
planted fruit trees. Fifteen years later he bought another 350 acres on the American River and<br />
planted more fruit trees. He loved his chosen lifestyle; he loved his ranches; and he was very proud<br />
of the juicy, sweet, tree-ripened peaches he sent to market every summer.<br />
In 1939, he captured the daily activities of the “River Ranch” on 16mm movie film. Photos from this<br />
“Farm Family Album” hang on our store walls. My daughter Karen painted the mural below which<br />
adorns the back wall of our store. (It is based on an old family photograph from when I was child.)<br />
“Boppop” passed his love of farming on to his son and grandchildren and today we are still farming.<br />
Although the “River Ranch” lies under the waters of Folsom Lake, the “H. P. Leak Ranch” in Loomis<br />
and my great-grandfather's old “Fieser Ranch” are now the home of our own “Twin Brooks Farm”.<br />
We, too, are passionate about farming and committed to producing fruits and vegetables with that<br />
old-fashioned flavor and sweetness that my ancestors knew. We are committed to sustainable<br />
farming practices that keep our soils and crops healthy, and we are committed to supporting other<br />
local small farms whose goals are similar to our own.<br />
Taste the difference!<br />

How Green is Raley's?<br />
We're the first retailer in California to use a new exhaust filtration system that makes our trucks the<br />
cleanest Class 8 Diesel trucks in day-to-day operation. We're testing this system on 20 of our trucks<br />
to help the manufacturer earn a certification that will allow older trucks throughout the state - in all<br />
industries - to reduce filter emissions that pollute the air.<br />
How Green is Raley's?<br />
Each year, more than 680 tons of waste per store are recycled and diverted from eventual disposal<br />
in area landfills through a recycling program developed by Raley's in 1995. That's about 94,000 tons<br />
of waste being recycled every year!<br />
"At Raley's Family of Fine Stores, we feel very strongly that we have an important responsibility to<br />
be exceptionally good stewards of our earth, and to be good partners with our governmental<br />
agencies charged with the oversight of the environment," says Bill Coyne, Raley's President and<br />

SCHARFFEN BERGER Chocolate Maker was founded with one simple goal: to create the richest,<br />
most flavorful chocolate by sourcing the best cacao in the world and using artisan chocolate-making<br />
methods. We are the first ‘bean-to-bar' chocolate manufacturer established in the United States in<br />
the past 50 years, and our attention to detail at every step of the process - working with farmers and<br />
selecting fine beans to blend, roast and refine - sets us apart from other producers to bring you<br />
America's Finest Dark Chocolate.<br />
Founded in 1997 by Robert Steinberg and John Scharffenberger, SCHARFFEN BERGER began in<br />
Robert's kitchen with a few simple kitchen appliances and nearly 30 varieties of cacao. The two<br />
tested multiple combinations before perfecting a unique blend that highlighted the true flavor of<br />
cacao instead of masking it with sugar and other flavors. It was well-received by Bay Area foodies<br />
but it took a series of further experiments before the company could consistently make wonderful<br />
chocolate. The first official batch of SCHARFFEN BERGER chocolate was made in their South San<br />
Francisco factory using vintage European equipment.<br />
To this day, our artisan chocolate making process has been preserved. Our chocolate makers travel<br />
the world in search of the best cacao beans. Through carefully selecting and blending beans from a<br />
range of countries in the cacao belt, the specific flavors of each origin combine to create chocolate<br />
with balance and pleasing complexity. The result is a depth of flavor that celebrates the fine quality<br />
of the original cacao in every batch we produce, bringing you the finest tasting chocolate in America.<br />

Sunfood began as a journey to discover food in its purest form. As we explored the world - from the<br />
mountains of Tibet to the jungles of the Amazon to the farms of the Midwest - we found a common<br />
link: passion for sustainable raw and superfoods that can nourish and enrich lives.<br />
Over time, our journey has evolved into a movement, connecting like-minded people from every<br />
culture. With each new conversation, we find amazing new foods, delicious recipes, useful<br />
resources and passionate advocates. And as our knowledge and understanding of the role that raw<br />
and superfoods play in our lives grows, we pass that information on to you, through foods, books,<br />
raw preparation appliances and more.<br />
As your guide to a new healthy lifestyle, we understand the responsibility that has been placed in<br />
our hands. It is why we have committed to continually improving the variety, quality and consistency<br />
of our foods and services. Additionally, to ensure we treat the earth as we treat our own bodies, we<br />
also strongly advocate for organic farming, sustainable practices and green business policies. In<br />
everything we do, the purity of products and practices is our most valued standard.<br />
As we continue this journey forward, we are committed to educating and engaging everyone about<br />
the rich possibilities of a raw and superfood lifestyle - one that takes a holistic view of your health,<br />
helping you be good to you.<br />

"If you're good to people, then they're good to you, and that pays off in the long run," says Toby<br />
Giacomini, who started Toby's Feed Barn in 1942. Both his son, Chris, and grandson, Nick, continue<br />
Toby's tradition in Point Reyes by servicing not only the agricultural community, but also everyone<br />
else in the area.<br />
The Feed Barn continues to specialize in high quality feed and pet supplies. But that is only the<br />
start. Chris gs out of his way to include local organic food, high quality garden supplies, local,<br />
handmade children's clothing, local jams, pickles and grass-pastured eggs in his inventory, along<br />
with a rich offering of community involvement and support.<br />
Each Saturday during the summer, Chris opens up Toby's to host the Point Reyes Farmers Market,<br />
Page 944
<strong>california</strong> guide: stores<br />
providing space, facilities and resources to create one of Marin's most compelling market<br />
experiences. Toby's is also the site for a thriving community garden, a recycling center, an art<br />
gallery, a garden shop, a kids' room and Yoga Ts Studio run by Nick and his wife, Amanda. Toby's<br />
also hosts a number of community events and fundraisers like the Festival of Lights and Cinco de<br />
Mayo.<br />
Both Nick and Chris grew up at the Feed Store and have nurtured deep roots in the community.<br />
They have passed this dedication and loyalty on to a faithful crew of 15 years: Oscar, Salvador,<br />
Laura and Greta.<br />
Farm families here in Marin can be large and sprawling. The Giacomini family has produced historic<br />
farms in West Marin as well as a county supervisor, Toby's Feed Barn, and Toby's Hay and Feed.<br />
The farm and community connections that are kept vigorous through Toby's Feed Barn are priceless<br />
and an example of what the preservation of local agriculture means to us and everyone who comes<br />
after us.<br />

You will find pretty much anything you're looking for in this store, from herbs, supplements to frozen<br />
foods, fresh foods, hard to find/rare items, gluten free selection, bake mixes, flours, holistic<br />
treatments, vitamins (of course) etc. The great thing about this store is they're open on Sundays,<br />
whereas a lot of smaller shops are not. I have always found what I'm looking for here. I discovered<br />
them when a review was written up about them in the Signal Tribune. Only once did I ever<br />
encounter a not-so-friendly staff person, the rest of the times, the employees have been great and<br />
super helpful.<br />

Back in 1980, Whole Foods started out with one small store in Austin, Texas. Today, we're the<br />
world's leader in natural and organic foods, with more than 270 stores in North America and the<br />
United Kingdom.<br />
Who are we? <strong>Well</strong>, we seek out the finest natural and organic foods available, maintain the strictest<br />
quality standards in the industry, and have an unshakeable commitment to sustainable agriculture.<br />
Around here, we often talk about our mission in terms of Whole Foods - Whole People - Whole<br />
Planet. Basically, we think these elements all play a huge role in our success.<br />
Whole Foods - We search for the highest quality, least processed, most flavorful and natural foods<br />
possible because we believe that food in its purest state - unadulterated by artificial additives,<br />
sweeteners, colorings and preservatives - is the best tasting and most nutritious food there is.<br />
Whole People - Our people are our company. They are passionate about healthy food and a healthy<br />
planet. They take full advantage of our decentralized, self-directed team culture and create a<br />
respectful workplace where people are treated fairly and are highly motivated to succeed.<br />
Whole Planet - We are committed to helping take care of the world around us, and our active<br />
support of organic farming and sustainable agriculture helps protect our planet. And while we assist<br />
our global neighbors through our Whole Planet Foundation's micro-lending operations, we also step<br />
out the back door of each of our stores to support food banks, sponsor neighborhood events and<br />
donate to local non-profit groups.<br />

Back in 1980, Whole Foods started out with one small store in Austin, Texas. Today, we're the<br />
world's leader in natural and organic foods, with more than 270 stores in North America and the<br />
United Kingdom.<br />
Who are we? <strong>Well</strong>, we seek out the finest natural and organic foods available, maintain the strictest<br />
quality standards in the industry, and have an unshakeable commitment to sustainable agriculture.<br />
Around here, we often talk about our mission in terms of Whole Foods - Whole People - Whole<br />
Planet. Basically, we think these elements all play a huge role in our success.<br />
Whole Foods - We search for the highest quality, least processed, most flavorful and natural foods<br />
possible because we believe that food in its purest state - unadulterated by artificial additives,<br />
sweeteners, colorings and preservatives - is the best tasting and most nutritious food there is.<br />
Whole People - Our people are our company. They are passionate about healthy food and a healthy<br />
planet. They take full advantage of our decentralized, self-directed team culture and create a<br />
respectful workplace where people are treated fairly and are highly motivated to succeed.<br />
Whole Planet - We are committed to helping take care of the world around us, and our active<br />
support of organic farming and sustainable agriculture helps protect our planet. And while we assist<br />
our global neighbors through our Whole Planet Foundation's micro-lending operations, we also step<br />
out the back door of each of our stores to support food banks, sponsor neighborhood events and<br />
donate to local non-profit groups.<br />

Community since 1985! We take up a full city block on Glendale Avenue between California and<br />
Lexington with plenty of parking, a lovely patio eating area and a park-like atmosphere. One thing<br />
that has not changed is the unique upbeat energy and welcoming “family” feel that we've always had<br />
at the Glendale store, perpetuated by our dedicated and passionate team members! We have grown<br />
with the community and we now offer more than ever before! We're more than a grocery store; we<br />
are a friendly gathering place that reflects our unique and diverse community, and we are proud to<br />
be your local store! Smokehouse meat and seafood, bakery, pizza, sushi and more are offered<br />
in-store, as well as non-GMO verified goods and gluten and casein-free products.<br />

conventional groceries. We are especially proud to present our customers with an extravaganza<br />
Food Court, offering you the finest in ethnic cuisine. We feature specialty products from many<br />
different countries and cultures from around the world… including Europe, the Middle East, Russia,<br />
South Africa, India, Mexico, Southeast Asia and Japan…<br />
Wholesome Choice is a market offering prized ingredients from distant lands, and superior quality in<br />
every product. The finest in choice cuts of meats - including Halal and Kosher - to the freshest<br />
seafood, an authentic hearthstone bakery, delectable pastries, confections, an amazing abundance<br />

Where can you find authentic Italian Gelato, imported Hebrew beer, fresh grape leaves, Cymbidium<br />

proportions…the magnificent food court is the heart and soul of the store, which is no less than a<br />
pageant of the finest in ethnic cuisine, without rival. Take out or dine in, it is your pleasure. This is<br />
the reason Wholesome Choice is now recognized as the premier shopping and eating destination in<br />
Orange County, with two locations to serve you in Irvine and Anaheim Hills, California.<br />
The atmosphere is multi-cultural, vibrant, dynamic and bustling with energy…<br />
The founders of Wholesome Choice Foods had a vision of combining an International specialty<br />
market with traditional and conventional grocery items - as well as presenting to the customer an<br />
extravaganza Food Court… featuring the diverse and exotic cuisines of the world…all under one<br />
roof. Wholesome Choice Foods was launched, and an Orange County cultural shopping and dining<br />
experience created…<br />
Middle Eastern cultural heritage is evident throughout the store, but most predominately in the<br />
bakery, where Wholesome Choice's signature bread - Sangak is legendary, and in extraordinarily<br />
high demand. Sangak is the beloved flatbread, and treasure of Persian culture and it is absolutely<br />
delicious - a unique flavor that is unforgettable… This four foot, sourdough flatbread, is served<br />
straight from the hearthstone oven - warm and tender with a rustic, smoky flavor that is<br />
unmistakable and soul satisfying. It is easy to understand why customers cheerfully wait in line for<br />
our Sangak…<br />
High standards are apparent in every immaculate isle of Wholesome Choice, from the gleaming<br />
confection cases to the health conscious selections of a large natural section, gluten free products,<br />
organics and even a floral department….Attention to detail is the benchmark for each department.<br />
Our staff is cordially welcoming - eager to assist you with any question or request. We offer you<br />
outstanding quality and impeccable customer service at some of the lowest pricing available today -<br />
anywhere.<br />

directly from local boats and producers nationwide, enabling us to sell the best quality seafood at<br />
fair prices.<br />
Over the years, we've worked to establish a reputation for quality not just with our customers but<br />
with our network of suppliers. Our suppliers know that if they've got premium product, we're willing to<br />
pay for it. We at Monterey Fish do our best to bring you the freshest, quality seafood available.<br />
Setting the standard for quality and service has been our obsession since 1979.<br />
We follow the strictest guidelines when it comes to seafood handling and expect all our suppliers to<br />
do the same. We welcome periodic inspection by the FDA, State and local Health Services. We are<br />
HACCP compliant, meaning we comply to a strict set of regulations implemented by the Federal<br />
Government to ensure the wholesomeness of seafoods. Monterey fish uses only suppliers, growers,<br />
producers and fishermen who are HACCP compliant and have a detailed HACCP plan on record. As<br />
well, all our shellfish comes from certified waters which are tested by the appropriate state and local<br />
health agencies weekly.<br />
