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

Thirty years ago, Berkeley's now-famous cooperative, the Cheeseboard, opened its doors. In 1997,
inspired by their own success, they helped open another bakery based on cooperative principles.
Arizmendi Oakland debuted that year on Lakeshore Avenue, named after the Basque labor
organizer.
The endeavor was a hit, so what next? They decided to open another bakery, this time in San
Francisco. Once again the group, along with members of the Oakland store, graciously imparted

their knowledge of cooperative business practices and shared secrets of their recipes.
In October of 2000, Arizmendi Bakery San Francisco was born. The Cheeseboard's gift to us has

Our gourmet tea cookies are simple. They have but three basic ingredients: flour, butter and sugar.
It is our belief that great tea cookies start with great ingredients.

Sweet Cream Butter with over 85% butterfat, made in a 1950's small batch butter churn. Our sugar

In choosing our ingredient partners, we seek companies with an artisan approach, each striving to
create the purest products possible.
We also believe that you appreciate unique flavors and have an adventurous and educated palate.
That is why we carefully select the most aromatic culinary herbs and spices. We use the actual herb
or spice, not a tincture or flavoring. The actual leaves, flowers, stems or seeds are incorporated into
our dough using our proprietary method.

On scenic coastal Highway 1, Pt. Reyes Station sits at the southern end of Tomales Bay and at the
entrance to Pt. Reyes National Seashore. Competing with all the natural beauty is the smell of
freshly baked bear claws, gooey morning buns and sourdough rolls—just a few of the reasons it's as
likely to meet someone munching on one of the Bovine Bakery's pastries who is from San Francisco
as from around the corner. (When people ride their bicycles 30 miles to eat a pastry, you know it's
good.)

For Bridget Devlin it all fell into place. Certainly there were challenges and some days were better
than others, but the whole plan seemed to have a logical inevitability about it. And now, “I'm doing
something I love,” she smiles.
She, her husband and their son were living in Monterey, when the opportunity came for him to join
the Hog Island Oyster Company in Tomales. The whole family took to the move like ducks to water
(which there is a lot of in this area). After settling in, Bridget's entrepreneurial instincts kicked in. She
took a look at her new town and decided that it could use a bakery. She researched every aspect of
the business, even apprenticing herself to Kelly Porter at Santa Cruz's Kelly's French Bakery. When
she was ready she found the perfect location and the perfect people to work with her. They seem to
think that she's made the perfect place for them too, because they stay for many years.
Bovine Bakery has grown with the town and adapted its selection of pastries to the local tastes.
“We're delighted to have visitors, but the Pt. Reyes people are so important to us,” Bridget explains.
“It fits this place perfectly. We always have at least two or three vegan pastries on offer. In another
town we might not have those. This bakery could only be here.” And a lot of people are clearly glad
it is.
We make our bread using old Danish recipes from Northern Europe. The dough is made with a
minimum amount of yeast and slow proofs for many hours which gives the bread a unique flavor, a
nice soft crumb with irregular air pockets and a wonderful crust. All our bread is baked with natural
USDA certified organic ingredients.

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

Since 1989 Mäni's Bakery has been satisfying discriminating palates and sweet-tooths with cakes,
cookies, pastries and breads, baked from high quality, natural, less-refined ingredients. Then in the
mid 1990s, following the same philosophy Mäni's began its restaurant as well.
It's the quality of the food and wholesome goodness of the ingredients that makes Mäni's a
destination for Angelenos: organic flour in all of our baking, a choice of sweeteners, including fruit
juice reduction, granulated maple syrup, organic cane sugar, agave syrup and more. All of these
ingredients let Mäni's serve up an array of tempting baked goods that are not overly processed.
They bring out the product's true taste like our real chocolate sweetened with barley malt. The
results are delicious, healthier versions of traditional foods for the health conscious connoisseur.
Mäni's is famous for creating healthier versions of classic recipes. Our signature chili is hugely
popular because of its great taste and full bodied flavors, yet it's key ingredient is turkey, which
results in lower fat and cholesterol.
Mäni's brings to each menu item the commitment to use only the freshest ingredients, free of
artificial additives, sweeteners or preservatives. We are also pleased to say we use no
hydrogenated fats in our freshly baked products, and in most cases replace them with organic
alternatives.
Mäni's uncompromising commitment to wholesome food created from high-quality ingredients have
resulted in our simple motto: Good food that's good for you!

Morell's Bread is a small artisan bakery and as I like to say, We are the bakery. From the beginning
I wanted to be able to sustain a work model in which we bake as much bread as we can in the brick
oven at HCA without resorting to artificial means to expand the business. My wife Tamsen works
side by side with me in the bakery making the scones and helping with the scaling and shaping of
the loaves. All of my loaves and baked goods are 100% organic using as many local ingredients as
possible and are completely handcrafted.
n a concession to physical well being, we recently purchased a Diosna diving arm mixer to mix and
knead the dough. It has a gentle folding motion that closely resembles the work we used to do by
hand. Everything we produce is 100% naturally leavened using a whole grain sourdough culture
that is about 10 years old. I feel that these factors produce bread that is unlike any other.
We offer some breads that are totally unique and much in demand: a 100% spelt bread, a 100% rye
bread and a loaf made from and heirloom variety of wheat grown by Full Belly Farm. These breads
offer an alternative to those who are sensitive to modern wheat, and are purchased enthusiastically
by many customers who thought they had to give up bread.
We love what we do, we love our bread and we hope that you will as well.

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

Long ago in the old village of Vista an idea sprouted… Wouldn't it be nice to have a place in this
unusually quiet and uncrowded part of Southern California for a pleasant place where we could
meet friends and serve good food…
So, early in the year of 2003 this property was acquired on Broadway… an old one room dilapidated
building stood next to the old Adobe offices. That little building was torn down and then began a very
long process of learning for us. We got to know about building permits, architects, engineers, many
fees, etc. Finally, after many trials and even more errors, we began building our Deli in 2008.
From the ground up, our nice Deli building began to take shape. And after many more difficulties
and many more fees, building permits, architects, and engineers, we finally finished the task. It took
seven years all together. On Feb. 14, 2010 we opened our doors.
So, the nice idea is now a living reality: the Yellow Deli.
Some may say that we're dreamers, but we're not the only ones…
Even longer ago, and even farther away, the idea actually sprouted up of a society where people
could work together and live together in peace and harmony. The “utopian” ideal of a society of
complete sharing has come and gone across the face of history over the years, but few realize that
the roots of this type of living was demonstrated most vividly in the “First Church” (which was entirely
Page 27
california guide: bakers
made of up Jewish believers in the Messiah) as they practiced complete communal living… this fact
is documented clearly in the Bible. Somehow it must have appeared to them to be the perfect way to
live out all the demands of Love, going the “extra mile”. So, why not live that way today?
That is a good question. It seemed to us like love demanded that kind of “together lifestyle”. So, for
the last 40 years, we have been working together as a co-operative, raising our families together.
Not until the early 2000's did we actually start a community here in Vista. Some of us are originally
from this area and were very happy to become part of such a community right here. We support
ourselves by organic farming (Morning Star Ranch Organic Avocado Ranch, Valley Center) and sell
our produce at the various Farmers Markets in our area. The Deli is able to serve you fresh, organic,
and local produce some of which comes from our own ranch. We also have woodshops where we
work together, making nice doors and windows and cabinets (such as the ones you see in the Deli).
We do high quality work and have two woodshops in Vista, (one on Mercantile, and one on, S.
Santa Fe, Vista). And now we work together to run our little Deli built with great care by all of us
together…
So, we have good organic food, nice craftsmanship, and a nice environment to eat a meal.. that is
The Yellow Deli!
Our way of life is different and we do not mind one bit answering your questions. As Henry David
Thoreau once wrote: “If a man does not keep peace with his companions, perhaps it is because he
hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far
away.”
We are just extremely happy to be here in Vista and to have actually, finally opened our doors.
We hope your dining experience is pleasing and you can be sure, “We are here for you…”

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

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

Located in the western foothills of the Central Sierras, adjacent to Sequoia National Park, it's less
than 4 hours from Los Angeles and East Bay Areas-- and 4.5 hours from San Francisco and South
Bay Areas. Yet it is light years away from urban existence. Blue oak woodlands, riparian wildlife

experience during your visit to the land.
The Cottage is green-built and energy efficient. It provides a healthy and comfortable home where
you can enjoy the simple and healing lifestyle that we offer.

biodegradable and non-allergenic cleaning products, low impact waste practices, and all-organic
beverages. We use "green" practices such as reducing electric output and waste, recycling and
composting, and providing earth-friendly and fair-trade amenities.
Within moments of the Inn, one can find a wealth of fun outdoor activities: strolling on the beach,
walking the bluffs, tide-pooling, discovering the beauty of the redwoods while hiking in one of our
many local state parks and reserves, kayaking, scuba ing, golfing, miniature golfing, mountain
biking, and wildlife viewing, including whales, sea lions, seals and many species of birds.
An elegant old hunting lodge turned into whimsical hideaway, Manka's Inverness Lodge and
Restaurant relies heavily upon local farmers to shape their seasonal menu. The large majority of
what is served is grown and raised and caught within 30 minutes of Manka's. The daily changing
menu highlights wild game, local fish, locally raised birds, rabbits, lamb, abalone, and oysters--plus
organic greens, roots, fruits, and olives grown on the property. Foragers ferret out wild mushrooms
and pick buckets of huckleberries for the restaurant.
Thursday through Sunday, Manka's serves a set menu of 5 to 7 small courses, composed entirely of
local delicacies. Monday through Wednesday, Manka's reaches beyond Marin County for a more
expansive menu. Dinner is served from 7 to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 4 to 10
p.m. on Sunday.
Diners are also welcome to make reservations to stay overnight at Manka's which is made up of
three properties. The main property is a small compound tucked into the hills of Inverness. Its
Page 35

centerpiece is a 1917 hunting and fishing lodge which houses our restaurant and four rustically
elegant accommodations.
On the same grounds sit the annex, a wonderful collection of four side-by-side rooms, and two
carefully appointed 1920's cabins: the fishing cabin and Manka's cabin.
A second, very private property is tucked further into the hills. Two cabins rest on a ridge over
looking the park. They are The Perch and the Cabin One-Two-Five. A third, particularly luxurious
property sits over Tomales Bay. Older than the lodge, but more contemporary in feel, it is comprised
of two units: the Boathouse and the Boatman's Quarters.

A Fork Full of Earth is an organization born out of the belief that culinary professionals have the
responsibility to move beyond food preparation and service to provide education about the effect
that conscious food choices on our bodies and the planet.
A Fork Full of Earth is more than a catering business. It's a project in progress. Our website serves
as an ever-expanding resource for anyone who is curious about food, it's politics, and our duty as
consumers to become more conscious citizens of the Earth. As an organization, we offer
workshops, cooking classes, and customized education in addition to our offerings as caterers. We
are equipped to handle any event from a classroom of dozens to a festival of thousands.
At the heart of A Fork Full of Earth cuisine are time-honored recipes, centered around regionally
diverse ethnic flavors. Our original menus are driven by what is in season. We create rustic
preparations with a great care for detail and with a passionate focus on fashioning classical and
exotic flavors into modern and approachable dishes.
Our events aspire to evoke an acknowledgment of what you ultimately consume when you enjoy a
mouthful of food: the hard work of many committed hands, the delicate balance of sun, rain and
nutrients; the opportunity to empower yourself through eating well. Though we take great pride in
the unique touch we add to the food, we enjoy even more knowing that we are a part of wildly
intricate and delicate process.
Not content to follow fashionable food trends, we are dedicated to furthering the food traditions that
invite a mindful appreciation of the source, cultivation and preparation of delicious cuisine. We are
eager to link people who are excited about healthy, whole foods to our network of farmers,
agricultural enthusiasts, and others who are inspired by the movement to cultivate a sustainable
world.

Both Lynn and Tina have been preparing and serving homemade healthy food for their families for
more than 20 years. They are passionate about healthy, good tasting food, as well as the farming
practices and sustainability of the food products they use, and the strong sense of community that is
born out of this approach to food. They have always based their own cooking on a whole foods
concept, preparing everything from scratch. About ten years ago they got involved in a natural food
buying club here in Antioch . The group bought organic and natural food from a distributor in bulk
and split it between about five families. With the lack of available natural and organic products in
East County, they found that they had many outside friends wanting to join the group. Tina and Lynn
decided to put a formal buying co-op together to offer it up to the community. With the help of good
friends, they formalized the ordering process, the infrastructure of the group and the splitting of the
food. At the pinnacle of its life, the co-op supported thirty three families.
A few years back, life circumstances changed and the women found that they would need to
financially support themselves. With their independent, creative nature, they knew that they didn't
want to go to work for someone else, and they knew that they wanted to earn money working with
their passions. They have a strong sense of community and wanted to make a positive contribution
to society, while supporting and providing for their families. With their combined backgrounds in
restaurant management, business and biochemistry, along with their passion for food, they had the
tools necessary to meld all of their assets into a successful business concept. In December of 2004
they sat down together and decided to go for it. They spent the next ten months hammering out all
of the details and creative financing. On October 29th 2005, Nature's Bounty Organic and Natural
Café opened its doors to the public in the Historic Rivertown District of Antioch with full intention of
offering a natural and organic dinner delivery service.

Organic To Go was founded two and half years ago by a group of men and women who have
worked in the natural products industry for many years. Busy with careers and families, the current
lifestyle of our culture creates a simple need and desire for delicious yet wholesome fast, casual
food. The challenge was how to find it and get it conveniently!
After experiencing typical fast food options and lunch box deliveries, we knew there had to be an
alternative. Originating from different backgrounds, we each had a vision of healthy casual meals,
with everything from ham and cheese sandwiches (Wisconsin folks) to deli-style roast beef
sandwiches (Pennsylvania folks) and veggie packed salads (California folks).

Cindy (Stein) Gershen opened the original Sunrise Cafe & Bakery on South California Blvd. in
Walnut Creek in 1981, baking her own breads and pastries, and is still the owner today. A family
business, her son, Joe Stein, is the general manager.
Sunrise Bistro & Catering not only serves comfort food "like Mom used to make," but under Cindy's
guidance is leading the way in how restaurants can make their food delicious and healthy for you!
We use no hydrogenated oils (trans-fats) or high-fructose corn syrup in our recipes. We use fresh
ingredients and salt sparingly to let you decide how much you want to have! We bake our own
breads, pastries and desserts, along with preparing our own jam, berry compote, and salsa from
scratch. You can enjoy our breakfast potatoes or potato salad, but we also offer other healthier
options, such as brown rice or sweet potatoes. At Sunrise you are free to make your own choices for
your best well-being!
Cindy has become a well-known and respected advocate for healthy living. Having lost and kept off
over 90 pounds for more than eight years, her passion is to take the lessons of healthy diet and
exercise and then condense that information into simple, practical solutions that people can use
everyday. She often speaks to local businesses and organizations to share her tips for healthy
eating and its effects on productivity in the workplace/school, occasionally including cooking
demonstrations. If you are interested in further information or possible speaking engagements,
please call (925) 930-6323 and Angie will be happy to assist you.
We have recently remodeled our Sunrise Bistro and are now open for dinners. The Bistro is located
in the Main Street Plaza on Botelho Drive. We are offering our Cuz'nz BBQ menu for lunch and
dinner. We've also added a full bar with flat screen TV! Our Banquet Room can be reserved for
private parties of 15 to 40 guests. And, of course, you can still enjoy outdoor dining on our patio.
Many of our customers have been asking what happened to our location at 1355 S. California -
formerly our Sunrise Cafe that then became Cuz'nz BBQ. We decided not to renew our lease there
so that we could provide a better venue for our BBQ customers - table service with more seating,
plus bar, in addition to more parking and proximity to downtown attractions. This move enabled us to
open the Bistro for dinner and offer your favorite Bistro menu items for dinner as well.

staffing if desired. (Smaller orders can be placed directly with the Bistro.)

a nonprofit, but if no one's heard of you, those are just words."SwingTime Café got its start at the

Just like many of you, our family has been on a journey to live and eat healthy. Which, much to our
dismay, we discovered is extremely expensive to accomplish.
We decided that that was unacceptable especially if we had the ability to improve this struggle for
enhancing health. Thus, our desire for affordable, chemically unaltered food led us to develop
Abundant Harvest Organics. We have uncovered an approach to natural food distribution that will
deliver organic produce at conventional prices within hours of harvest.
Who We Are
Abundant Harvest Organics is an alliance of small family farmers in Central California dedicated to
growing superior organic produce and getting it to you in the simplest manner possible; that is,
without the use of chemicals or packaging materials. We grow locally and supply locally, cutting the
need for expensive and wasteful fuel and packing resources.

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

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

noted. Through the convenience, ease of use, and transparency of our system, we intend to make
the localization option more accessible to the public, and further encourage the growth of our local
food based economic system.

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

12 locations stretching over 30 miles. Our goal is to provide fresh, local, organic produce of excellent
quality all year long. Our seasons for many items are extended due to the diverse microclimates on
our land. We use innovative methods for cultivating produce, such as nurturing tomatoes in cold
frames in the winter, which dramatically extends their availability into the cooler months. We plant
many varieties of produce every week of the year. This gives us timely arrivals of seasonal products

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

Organic Veggie Box Delivery Program (weekly boxes delivered to your neighborhood), wholesale

San Diego's premiere and premium local Green-Fed Beef CSA. Customers can purchase either
Beef CSA shares or Beef Packages. Green-Fed Beef is superior to both Grass-Fed and Grain-Fed
in both flavor and nutrition. Green-Fed is the new Red (meat, that is).
Sage Mountain Beef is a small herd of Guernsey, Angus, and Holstein cattle. The animals are fed
on a movable feast of grass and post-harvest crops (what Phil calls a "polyface approach").
No animals are ever given artificial growth hormones or stimulants and are guaranteed to be free of
antibiotics. They guarantee their ruminant livestock are 100% green-fed and pasture raised their
entire lives, with no consumption of grain, by-product supplements, or ever setting a hoof within a
confinement feedlot.
We are Certified Organic growers, and are registered with the Riverside County and State of
California Departments of Agriculture. We belong to an organization called Willing Workers on
Organic Farms (WWOOF), and as a result host people from around the country and the world that
come to share their experiences, to learn, and to work on our farm. All of our fruits and vegetables
are grown on our family farm using our sparkling clean natural well water and healthy organic
processes. At our high desert property, we also use pure organic guidelines to raise steers,
chickens, pigs and goats, so that we can enjoy farming in the wilderness - away from all
conventional type farms - and practice and maintain a sustainable lifestyle.
Sage Mountain Farms is also part of the Inland Empire CSA.

In addition to our CSA, we sell to Farmers Markets and select local stores in the same areas that our
CSA members live. We grow some very unique tomato varieties.
The dream was to live off our land. In 2003 I decided to put our ½-acre garden to work and become
a market farmer growing organic cut flowers in our backyard in Silver Lake, Los Angeles. The goal
was to sell my flowers seasonally at local farmers' markets on the Eastside. It's hard to find organic,
local flowers. Most of them are flown in from abroad and/or covered in pesticides.
Over the years I added herbs, vegetables, fruit trees and vines as well as organic loofah sponges
and cotton. In 2008, a lady living nearby invited me to grow on her estate. With a second growing
ground, Silver Lake Farms slowly started taking shape. The dream seemed possible…
I grow everything naturally and by hand. Our beautiful loamy soil needs no more digging. I use cover
crops, rotation, homemade compost, teas and locally sourced manures and mulch to keep soil
biologically fertile. I take a “whole” approach to growing, keeping things balanced with natural
habitats and companion plants so nature can do its thing. No need for chemical fertilizers or
pesticides.
My husband, Beat, takes care of engineering and design, drip systems and rainwater harvesting. He
figures out all the technical stuff and makes it “Tara-proof.” He cooks and builds; I grow and teach.
We design and install vegetable gardens and create productive mini homesteads for clients. We
also donate time for great causes in our community.
In 2009, something incredible happened. After telling me it was legal, and after six years at market,
LA City's Department of Building & Safety ordered me to stop selling my flowers or pay a fine/serve
six months in jail. They said selling homegrown flowers is illegal after all because it's not considered
"Truck Gardening."
Page 133
california guide: csa
Truck Gardening is allowed in LA City residential zones but City Planning's codebook manual
doesn't have any information on what Truck Gardening is. Officials consulted Webster's Dictionary
for a definition of the term. Because Webster's definition of Truck Gardening only mentions
vegetables, City Planning interpreted this to mean that it's illegal to sell anything grown in residential
gardens unless it's a vegetable. Fruit, flowers, seedlings? Not allowed! Too bad that broccoli's a
flower...
Okay… so now I'm a vegetable farmer! To keep the dream alive, I partnered with another local
farmer and launched a CSA. Read about my transition from flowers to vegetable farming in the Farm
Blog section of my website. CSA-ers, this blog is for you, too!
Meanwhile, supporters, friends and fellow urban farmers formed Urban Farming Advocates (UFA)
LA to do something about updating City Planning's codebook. It was originally written in 1946. UFA's
goal is to legitimize urban farming in the City of L.A. We think urban agriculture is the right way to
go. If you agree, and would like to participate in changing the law, please go to the
urbanfarmingadvocates.org website.
Because Silver Lake Farms is in residential zones, we do not publish our address on this site.
Thank you to all my loyal customers, who loved my flowers so much, and to all my wonderful friends
for your love and support. Please visit urbanfarmingadvocates.org and help me change the law!
We are blessed with a beautiful piece of land in the Atascadero Creek valley just north of
Sebastopol. We have six spring-fed ponds, filled with joyous frogs for which our farm is named and
from which we irrigate our farm.
We have over 3 acres of a erse variety of vegetable crops which we grow for our CSA and an
abundance of flowers. For company we have our Girlie Girls (hens) for eggs and a flock of Woolies.
We have 2 orchards with apple, pear and various pit fruit trees. There are 200 established blueberry
bushes plus blackberry and raspberry plants.
We do our best to farm with, rather than against nature. We have created a bioerse landscape in
which we farm, utilizing hedgerows and natural areas to increase wildlife habitat, especially
pollinator habitat. We use no sprays. Last fall we were the recipients of the North American 2010
Farmer Rancher Award for Pollinator Conservation and Awareness Education!

CSA is a movement to bring farm producers and community members into a more direct and
cooperative relationship. The concept migrated to the US from Japan in the mid-1980's. Community
"members" subscribe to a weekly share of produce from a local farm, which is delivered to a
convenient "site" in the member's neighborhood. This relationship facilitates both financial support
for a small farm's community and provides supporting members with fresh and unique produce to
which they would otherwise have less access.

Terra Firma was started by Paul Holmes (Pablote) over seventeen years ago, with a old VW van
and a rototiller -- a mile up the road and five hundred feet uphill from its present location, on less
than an acre of land. Over the years, the farm moved down to the fertile alluvial soils along Putah
Creek just west of Winters, at the hilly edge of the Sacramento Valley.
In 1994, Paul was joined by Paul Underhill -- Pablito, and they began to organize friends and
acquaintances in San Francisco who wanted to get fresh, local organic vegetables on a regular
basis. The CSA, or Community Supported Agriculture project, started with about 50 people and has
now expanded to feed over 700 people weekly. In the meantime, the farm has grown to include
over 99 acres of fields and orchards, including walnuts, apricots, and citrus.
Terra Firma, rare among California farms today, is as much about people as it is about produce.
Our farm supports 30 employees, many of whom have been with us for five years or more. Some,
like our delivery driver Hector Melendez, have been with Paul Holmes almost since day one. Valerie
Engelman has been our CSA Coordinator, office manager and bookkeeper for ten years. People
become part of the farm and their personlities come to define their jobs. A far cry from "migrant
farmworkers", they have been essential in making our farm what it is today.
Our customers also play an crucial role in helping our business succeed, and in inspiring us. Many
of our subscribers have been with us since the beginning of the CSA, and they visit us each year at
our fall farm day. Their kids have grown up with the memories of running through our fields and
playing in our orchards, and they've grown up healthy while eating our vegetables.
The main purpose of the Farmer's Kitchen is to link California small farmers with the urban
population by extending the presence of the Hollywood Farmers' Market through the entire week.
The Farmer's Kitchen will offer urban residents a convenient source of fresh produce and healthy
meals made through the joint effort of local farmers and urban chefs and apprentices.
The Farmer's Kitchen will also educate and train community members through nutrition classes and
job training programs. Mothers and caregivers will learn to prepare nutritious meals on a budget
using local produce through SEE-LA's successful "Good Cooking" classes. Job training will give
participants food industry knowledge and skills; in a community with a high unemployment rate, the
Page 137
california guide: csa
job training program will create career opportunities by linking graduates of its program with local
chefs and food experts and by employing participants as apprentices in the Farmer's Kitchen during
their training.
Finally, the Farmer's Kitchen will create an additional venue for farmers to market their goods
directly, thereby helping ensure the economic stability of local farmers. In addition to the weekly
Hollywood Farmers' Market, farmers will benefit from sales of produce and value-added products for
the retail component, for the "Good Cooking" classes, and for the Healthy Market Basket Program.
Drawing on fifteen successful years of the weekly Hollywood Farmers' Market, the Farmer's Kitchen
will be a permanent site for rural-urban exchange and will spur economic development to the benefit
of both the community and local farmers. The Farmer's Kitchen will ultimately be a self-sustaining
and permanent food security solution for Hollywood's population.

The Center for Informed Food Choices (CIFC) advocates for a diet based on whole, unprocessed,
local, organically grown plant foods. CIFC believes that: placing these foods at the center of the
plate is crucial for promoting public health, protecting the environment, and assuring the humane
treatment of animals and food industry workers.

california guide: educational centers
Connecting the personal to the political, CIFC educates the public about how our industrial food
system, along with corporate-influenced government policies, is the root cause of a host of
preventable public health, environmental, and social justice problems.
CIFC believes that making personal dietary improvements is just one component of social change.
We advocate for social and political reforms that will support people in making healthy food choices
over the long term, as well as in creating a more just, humane, and sustainable food system.

Good Humus Produce is a small family farm, owned and run by Jeff and Annie Main. We farm 20
acres of certified organic land in a little valley called the Hungry Hollow in Northern California. We

from generations of strong-minded individuals. Cooperation, communities, social change, food
movement and land stewardship have been our guiding beliefs in one form or another since the
1970's.
We have been selling at the Davis Farmers Market, to wholesalers in the Bay Area, and to the Davis

We have been working for the last 28 years to build from the ground up a family farm that provides
food for people in our community. We have realized that if often takes lifetimes to developed a farm
infrastructure, the buildings and processes that characterize a mature, viable farming unit.
Through luck, help, and hard work we have been able to do most of the work of creating such a
farm, but much is still yet to be accomplished. We are now in the process of permanently preserving
Good Humus Farm through an Agricultural Easement . This will facilitate a future of not only
ongoing stewardship and healthy local food production, but also a commitment to community and
place.

urban public school students with a one-acre organic garden and a kitchen classroom. Using food
systems as a unifying concept, students learn how to grow, harvest, and prepare nutritious seasonal
produce. Experiences in the kitchen and garden foster a better understanding of how the natural
world sustains us, and promote the environmental and social well being of our school community.
The main purpose of the Farmer's Kitchen is to link California small farmers with the urban
population by extending the presence of the Hollywood Farmers' Market through the entire week.
The Farmer's Kitchen will offer urban residents a convenient source of fresh produce and healthy
meals made through the joint effort of local farmers and urban chefs and apprentices.
The Farmer's Kitchen will also educate and train community members through nutrition classes and
job training programs. Mothers and caregivers will learn to prepare nutritious meals on a budget
using local produce through SEE-LA's successful "Good Cooking" classes. Job training will give
participants food industry knowledge and skills; in a community with a high unemployment rate, the
job training program will create career opportunities by linking graduates of its program with local
chefs and food experts and by employing participants as apprentices in the Farmer's Kitchen during
their training.
Finally, the Farmer's Kitchen will create an additional venue for farmers to market their goods
Page 157
california guide: educational centers
directly, thereby helping ensure the economic stability of local farmers. In addition to the weekly
Hollywood Farmers' Market, farmers will benefit from sales of produce and value-added products for
the retail component, for the "Good Cooking" classes, and for the Healthy Market Basket Program.
Drawing on fifteen successful years of the weekly Hollywood Farmers' Market, the Farmer's Kitchen
will be a permanent site for rural-urban exchange and will spur economic development to the benefit
of both the community and local farmers. The Farmer's Kitchen will ultimately be a self-sustaining
and permanent food security solution for Hollywood's population.
A 501(c)3 charitable organization offering education programs for the renewal of the earth and
humanity through agriculture, education, and the healing arts. The Foundation is actively involved in
creating a demonstration farm where young and established farmers and the community can
deepen their relationships to the earth. Our first step was to create a demonstration farm by
transforming the existing monocrop of strawberries, which had already been planted when the
Foundation began leasing the farm in September of 2000, into row crops suitable to begin a
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program.
We have Summer, Fall and Winter CSA programs (see the website for more information).
The first Saturday of every month we have an open house. All ages are welcome. Please bring a
dish to share, closed toe shoes, a hat and water. If you have a larger group or want to do a special
event please contact the farm. The open house includes a farm tour, volunteer project, and potluck
lunch. Our farm stand will also be open.

Just like many of you, our family has been on a journey to live and eat healthy. Which, much to our
dismay, we discovered is extremely expensive to accomplish.
We decided that that was unacceptable especially if we had the ability to improve this struggle for
enhancing health. Thus, our desire for affordable, chemically unaltered food led us to develop
Abundant Harvest Organics. We have uncovered an approach to natural food distribution that will
deliver organic produce at conventional prices within hours of harvest.
Who We Are
Abundant Harvest Organics is an alliance of small family farmers in Central California dedicated to
growing superior organic produce and getting it to you in the simplest manner possible; that is,
without the use of chemicals or packaging materials. We grow locally and supply locally, cutting the
need for expensive and wasteful fuel and packing resources.
The Alemany Resident Management Corporation believes that we can address the root causes of
violence by providing youth with meaningful opportunities for advancement. Our fiscal sponsor is
Renaissance Parents of Success, a Bayview Hunters Point organization with a strong track record
of helping at-risk teens.
To help fulfill our goals, we are working with volunteer gardeners from throughout San Francisco
who are helping to share horticulture skills with Alemany residents.

We care about our kids, cows, critters, and community, the land, the water and YOU, our customers.
We at Alexandre Family Farms strongly believe that dairy cows raised on a grass fed diet and free
to roam in the pasture, produce one of the most healthful foods known to man: milk. We so believed
in the nutrition benefits of animal products raised on grass that we started raising laying hens, steers
and pork all on grass!!

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

supplement compose their entire diet. Antibiotics are administered if an animal falls ill, yet
medications are never given on a routine basis. Amaro Cattle Ranch is a small operation, so
availability of beef is limited. Beef is processed on a seasonal basis at a clean, local, and reliable
processing plant.

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

Calico Ranch is a family-run apple and pear orchard located near the historic town of Julian. The
farm has remained in production since it was first planted in the early 1930's. The Young family has
owned the 30 acre orchard for more than nineteen years. As one of the last remaining apple
orchards in the Julian area where the public can enjoy the fun of picking their own fruit, Calico
Ranch offers the possibility of a unique family experience.
Hours of Operation - The "El Nino" rains this year have created an optimal growing environment and
we are looking forward to a bountiful 2010 apple season. Our picking season typically begins around
the end of September and lasts through the month of October. Please check back with us as the
season approaches for an updated schedule. See you in the fall!
About Our Apples - More than 130 varieties of apples are grown on-site as well as several varieties
of pears. At Calico Ranch, we implement an integrated pest management system which is a safer,
minimized and wiser use of pesticides and herbicides. We offer a different variety off apples and
pears each weekend depending on which become ripe at that particular time of the season.
Whether you come for the U-Pick experience or just to visit our Easy-pick fruit stand, we hope that
your visit will be a memorable one.
Getting There - Take Hwy 67 or 78 through Ramona to Santa Ysabel. Proceed through Santa

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

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

Mike and Sally Gale run a highly diversified operation on their 600 acre parcel in Chileno Valley. The
land has been in Sally's family since 1862 when her great-great grandfather purchased it from
Abraham Lincoln's Chief of Staff, Henry Haleck.
The Gales do much more than raise some of Marin's finest grass-fed beef however. They also have
a half-acre orchard of heirloom apples and pears. Mike and Sally are interested in growing great
tasting fruit, and so have chosen time-honored but little-known apple varieties like William's Pride,
Mutsu and Zestar.
The local deer always appreciated the Gale's taste in fruit and came by regularly for their share in
the harvest. But it wasn't until Sally began planting what was to become a collection of over 200
rose bushes that Mike built a fence around the property.
The Gales also run a BandB in their early 20th century farm house, and their spectacular property is
the site of painting workshops, many weddings and the occasional film shoot.

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

waterways and woodland perimeters go hand in hand with the success of our vegetables, herbs and
fruits that we produce using natural methods.After ten years of raising chickens and sheep, we have
decided to focus on fruit and vegetable production.

When Drew and Myra Goodman came to California's Carmel Valley in 1984, they were determined
young transplants from Manhattan, drawn to the natural beauty and richness of the land. Even
before they turned over their first shovels full of soil, they believed strongly in doing the right thing.
They settled on a 2.5-acre raspberry farm and decided that doing the right thing meant committing
to farming this spectacular land organically, producing food they would want to eat themselves and
would feel good about serving their families, friends, and neighbors. Their labor of love became
Earthbound Farm.
It wasn't long before Earthbound Farm was doing a lot of the right things. Undaunted by those who
said it couldn't be done, in 1986 we became the first company to successfully launch prewashed,
packaged salad for retail sale. When we introduced our mixed baby greens or “spring mix” to
restaurants and supermarket produce aisles, we started a salad revolution. Today, gourmet salad
greens and packaged salads have become staples of grocery baskets everywhere.
We've been farming for 25 years now, and we've become the world's largest grower of organic
Page 199
california guide: farmers
produce. But our roots remain strong: our founders still guide the company, and our original
commitment to farming organically has never wavered. We're dedicated to bringing the benefits of
organic food — fresh, flavorful, and healthy — to as many people as possible.
At Earthbound Farm, our unwavering commitment to organic farming comes from our concern for
health. Farming organically helps keep our consumers and our environment healthy by avoiding the
use of harmful chemicals. Organic farming focuses on building the fertility of the soil with natural
materials, resulting in rich, vital field ecosystems that produce fruits and vegetables as pure and
healthy as they were intended to be.
Our farm-fresh organic salads, fruits, and vegetables are chosen by millions of people every day in
supermarkets across North America and beyond — we're delighted to be sharing our passion with
you in every delicious bite of Earthbound Farm organic produce.

Fair Oaks Ranch has been my family's home business since 1959, yet it was only in 2001 that a
unique opportunity presented itself to me.
This is when I joined forces with David Foss, a New Zealand rancher with 28 years experience in the
cattle industry and the former manager of Turihaua Angus.
Turihaua is the most renowned Angus cattle producer in his country, earning their reputation with
over 100 years experience selectively breeding cattle that produce choice beef, fed solely on grass
and clovers. David was given my number through a dear friend of his wife's and after only two
weeks his call from New Zealand resulted in our partnership. David was looking for a home for his
finest Angus herd, and I was looking for a cattleman with experience in ranching from the soil up.

Flying Mule Farm is a small, diversified market garden and livestock operation in Auburn (in the
heart of California's Gold Country). We farm vegetables on approximately 3 acres in Auburn. We
also raise pastured chickens in Auburn and grassfed lambs in Colfax, California. We use organic
production methods, but we are not currently certified. We are moving toward using true horsepower

(or mule power, in our case) in our vegetable operation -- we are in the process of training a team of
mules to use in tillage and cultivation.
Our chickens are available for pick up from the farm; customers can order whole fryers (4-5 pounds)
or roasters (7-8 pounds). Grassfed lamb is available seasonally; customers can order whole or half
lambs or 12 pound variety boxes. Our products are available through Foothill Farmers Markets,
directly at the farm, and through subscriptions. Call for prices and details!
Our family farm is small and sustainable, focusing on high quality heritage produce and livestock.
We use absolutely no pesticides (not even organic ones) on our produce, and we try to keep our
purchases as local as possible -- for instance, we buy our drip tape at small, independent farm
supply stores. We raise our livestock holistically with tender loving care, and give each animal
individual attention. Our laying hens free-range on pasture along with our goats and sheep, and eat
their fill of bugs, weeds, grass, organic grain, black oil sunflower seeds, crushed oyster shell (for
strong egg shells and bones) and our organically grown produce. We are just starting up a herd of
Nigerian Dwarf dairy goats and expect our first kids and milk in the Spring of 2010.

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

Nick Rupiper and his partners Ross Cannard and DeeAnn Freitas raise Animal Welfare Approved
laying hens at Fowler Creek Farm in Sonoma, CA. Fowler Creek raises mostly Australorps, Buff
Orpingtons, Cuckoo Marans and Americanas, all breeds producing a variety of beautifully colored
Page 212
california guide: farmers
eggs. Nick says the different egg colors are a hit with their customers and they make sure they put
a variety of egg colors in each carton. Often times the colorful eggs may be on display at such
restaurants as Chez Panisse in Berkeley and Boulette's Larder in San Francisco.
When asked how most farmers got their start there is usually a link to childhood or history of farming
in the family, but Nick's entry into the farming world was much more spontaneous. In fact, Nick
hadn't even considered getting chickens until the morning he actually went out and purchased four
chickens. Two days later he got eight more chickens. Soon he found himself with 150 chickens and
now Fowler Creek is on its way to having nearly 1,000 laying hens!
While Nick's beginnings in the chicken world may sound a little out of the ordinary, he credits his
start as a “backyard chicken guy” or “chicken enthusiast” with giving him a closer connection to his
chickens. He looks at how his farm operates from the chickens' perspective in order to make sure
they're the happiest they can be. Nick, Ross and DeeAnn designed the farm with the intention of
giving the chickens the ability to roam in a variety of environments - woodlands, orchards and fields.
Nick says, “The bottom line isn't about money, it's about making the chickens the happiest.”
On his reasons for applying for AWA certification, Nick said, “They're doing what I want to do. And
these people are chicken obsessed too. Those are strict standards…They give my enthusiasm for
chickens some validity. Nick went on to say, “It seemed like no one else was helping out the smaller
farmer. That's why I was really attracted to AWA… I wanted to be part of a bigger scheme and
spread the word.”
Nick Rupiper is not only a chicken enthusiast/farmer. He is also a drummer in “The Farm Band.”
There was a time when his chickens conflicted with band practice. Nick would say, “I can't go to
band practice because I have to put the chickens away!” Luckily, Nick was able to convince his
band mates that they couldn't very well call themselves “The Farm Band” if they weren't going to
accommodate his chicken schedule. Now band practice is scheduled around the chickens' needs.
We started raising pastured broilers and layers in January 2008. On occasion we have beef and
pork available.
Brad and Alana grew up in Nevada County and here is where we decided to raise our family. We
have three daughters (Macey, Molly and Morgan with twins due to joins us in October 2009) who
enjoy helping around the farm. We are dedicated to see Nevada County agriculture thrive and
volunteer with the Nevada County Farm Bureau and Nevada County Grown.

fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides and take care to preserve the quality and quantity of the soil and
groundwater on the land.At just one cultivated acre, Freewheelin' Farm is smaller than most farms,
making it possible to give careful attention to the ecosystem we are creating while maximizing the
use of our resources. Because the farm is just 5 miles north of Santa Cruz, you get the freshest
possible produce delivered right to your door within hours of harvest.
All deliveries are made by bicycle and trailer and I carefully consider the pros and cons of each
gallon of petroleum product used in the farming process. While the farm is not petroleum free (yet) I
try to use as little as possible. I aim to provide just prices in an effort to make eating healthy and
local an affordable option for everyone.

about 25 to 30 employees, the farm produces an amazing diversity of vegetables, herbs, nuts,
flowers, and fruits year-round. The farm also has a flock of chickens, a herd of sheep, and several

Full Belly's system includes: growing and marketing over 80 different crops; providing year-round
employment for farm labor; using cover crops that fix nitrogen and provide organic matter for the
soil; developing innovative marketing strategies; and planting habitat areas for beneficial insects and
wildlife.
This set of strategies allows the farm to integrate farm production with longer-term environmental
goals.Full Belly products are marketed both wholesale and retail. We sell to restaurants, at farmers
markets and through a Community Supported Agriculture project, or CSA.
Both the CSA and the farmers markets forge a direct connection between the farm and the people
who buy and eat its produce. Through the CSA, individuals can receive a weekly share of produce
through the year.
By belonging to the CSA, members support organic farming practices that are healthful for people
and the environment. They also have the opportunity to eat the freshest, most nutritional produce
available.
CSA members receive boxes of fresh produce delivered to convenient neighborhood locations in the
East Bay, South Bay, and San Rafael, as well as in Sacramento, Davis, Woodland, and Esparto.
For a small additional fee, boxes can also be delivered right to a member's door on Tuesday and
Wednesday in selected East Bay locations.Full Belly is also home to many outreach activities,
including educational tours, school group visits, and the much-acclaimed annual Hoes Down
Harvest Festival.
The Hoes Down Festival celebrates rural life and educates the public about growing food in a
sustainable manner. Through such programs to the general public, Full Belly seeks to create
awareness of farm realities and to stress the importance of farms in the fabric of our society.

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

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

soon thereafter, the rumbling purr of the tractor and the sweet smell of biodiesel fill the air.
Depending on the season, between four and twelve people will be in the fields each day and one of
them is sure to be Farm Manager Matt Vivrett. Organically certified since 1985, this carefully-tended
land produces an abundance of lettuces, potatoes, chard and green garlic. About half of what is
grown here is sold at the San Francisco Ferry Plaza Farmers Market, and the other half is divided
between Greens Restaurant in San Francisco and the 50-100 meals they serve each day at Green
Gulch.
Eventually, all the kitchen scraps from the practice center, plus all of those from Greens Restaurant,
return to the farm and are made into compost, where they will be reborn as next year's crop.
We run an organic, educational farm and retreat center on an historic farm near Año Nuevo State
Reserve. We farm with our draft horses to raise 3 acres of mixed vegetables, herbs, flowers, and

we believe well exceed organic standards.
Green String is the act of farming sustainably and naturally so that we provide a healthy future for
generations to enjoy. Sustainability in the farming context is defined as healthy, local, socially
responsible, simple living and control. We make every effort to reduce soil erosion, pesticide
dependency, loss of biodiversity, resistance to natural predators, and other harmful ecological
impact. We create a self-nourishing system where less human intervention yields better quality
crops.

Here at Harley farms, we take pride in using traditional methods to make the freshest goat cheese
you will ever want to eat...
We strongly believe that the only way to produce our quality goat cheese is to have happy, healthy
goats. We started with only 6 American Alpine goats, and we now have a herd of 220! They are
lovingly dubbed "The Cheese Makers," as they are the ones who provide us with their rich, sweet
milk.
During the day the goats enjoy grazing freely in our bountiful pastures to their hearts content. We
milk the goats twice daily, in the early morning and early evening. Before the evening milking, the
goats relax in a spacious paddock where they enjoy their favorite mix of grains.
Harley Farms Goat Cheese can be purchased at the farm's store on Saturday and Sunday from 11
a.m. to 5 p.m., or by mail order. Farm tours are also available from time to time.

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

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

fermentations to occur naturally, and allow them to complete in their own time (this can take up to 6

We optimize our land and water resources while providing the animals with a healthy, grass diet.
Grass-fed beef is good for the land and good for you!
Our beef is dry aged, the old fashioned way, at least 21 days for full flavor and tenderness. Each cut
is then hand carved and vacuum packed under USDA inspection. You can order Lazy 69 Ranch
USDA Grass-Fed Beef by the quarter (100 lbs), half (200 lbs) or whole beef (400 lbs). For those

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

have developed an integrated farming system that relies on each part of the Ranch contributing to
the health of the whole. Long Meadow Ranch is an innovative organic farming operation and
purveyor of fine foods.
Located high above the Napa Valley on the picturesque slopes of the Mayacamas Mountains, Long
Meadow Ranch produces extraordinary red wine, extra virgin olive oil, grass-fed beef, organic eggs,

to be the best in the world and is even raised by the British royal family for its own consumption. In
keeping with Long Meadow Ranch's organic practices, our beef is chemical-free, hormone-free and
antibiotic-free.
We make our own fertilizers on the Ranch through an extensive composting operation that relies on
organic material from each segment of the Ranch. Soil erosion is controlled, and new soils are built
through the extensive use of permanent cover crops made up of carefully selected grasses, clovers,
and legumes. We do not use herbicides or pesticides and all crops are produced in accordance with
the California Organic Foods Act of 1990.
Long Meadow Ranch beef and eggs are available for sale at the Saint Helena Farmers Market,

Kevin Lunny grew up on the 1,500 acre ranch on the Pt. Reyes peninsula that he now shares with
his parents Joe and Joan, wife Nancy and their teenage triplets. Back then it was a dairy, and Kevin,
his two brothers and three sisters began working with cows as soon as they could walk. In the
Page 255
california guide: farmers
1970's Mr. Lunny Sr. converted the operation from dairy to beef, switching from milk to meat
production. However, during the 1980's and '90s when economic pressures began squeezing the
beef industry, the family was almost forced to leave the ranch.
Then, just a few years ago, Kevin decided to take a chance and convert the herd to grass-fed and
organic. Today, Lunny Ranch holds the largest acreage of organic pasture in Marin County. In
order to diversify his operation, he also planted 5 acres of artichokes, the very kind that used to
grow in that region before it became a National Park.
Lunny Ranch's organic beef is sold at the Point Reyes Farmers Market, as well as directly from the
Ranch. Call for more information about pricing and availability. Orders can be picked up at the

land because it had plenty of water and was close to markets and restaurants. It also had really
healthy looking weeds and he knew that was a good sign. This is the kind of thing he learned from
his grandmother, who always nurtured and encouraged the volunteers that sprouted up in her
garden. Inspired by her, he studied agriculture at Humboldt State University. With what we've seen

Erik and Doniga Markegard raise Animal Welfare Approved grassfed Belted Galloway and Black
Angus cattle in Half Moon Bay, CA. Erik started his own cattle ranch in 1985, but his family has
been farming for six generations! And as a sixth generation cattle rancher, having a family owned
and operated farm is extremely important. Erik and Doniga strive to include their kids in the
business and hope to pass the family business on to the next generation.
The Markegards are proud of their watershed stewardship and they consider keeping the soil and
water clean to be foremost priorities in their farming practices. They don't use any herbicides or
pesticides and they treat their animals humanely. Doniga says, “Improving wildlife biodiversity is
Page 258
california guide: farmers
also very important to us. I come from a wildlife background. We think it's important to have wildlife
corridors and to use the cattle as a tool to improve wildlife habitat.”
When asked why they decided to become Animal Welfare Approved, Doniga said, “I just believe in
all the practices and it's free,” she laughs. Doniga goes on to say, “It's great to have the label, but at
this point in time we don't necessarily need any value-added because we sell out of our product
immediately. But I'm looking towards the future. I know more and more people are asking for
verification of farming practices. It's really important to have as many certificates of authenticity as
possible. We want to show our customers that we're truly authentic.”
In addition to selling to local restaurants, the farm's beef is sold direct from the farm, through a
weekly or monthly buying club and also in bulk a couple times each year. You can visit the
Markegard Family Grass-Fed Farm during its seasonal farm days. Look for details and dates for the

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

McEvoy Ranch sits on 550 acres in the rolling hills west of Petaluma in Northern California. Once a
dairy farm, it has now been reincarnated as an organic olive tree orchard.
McEvoy Ranch has been certified organic by California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF). Like
most organic farmers, we at McEvoy Ranch believe in the use of renewable resources and the
conservation of soil and water to protect and nurture the environment.
Other facilities on the ranch include our Frantoio (Italian olive oil mill) and retail store, both of which
are open to the public during tour season.

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

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

Our milk is sent directly from the goats to the cheese room where is stored and awaits the cheese
making process. We also follow the natural breeding season of the goats which means they take a
few months off during the winter to rest and prepare for their new kids in the spring. However we
have some select chosen members of the heard which are milked once a day year round providing
a select few customers with our fresh chevre on a year round basis. Now our chevre may vary
throughout the year being Nicolau Farms is 100% All Natural and does not standardize or altar our

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

The Ashcrafts also make handcrafted farmstead goat cheeses, which are made in small batches
and are free of hormones and antibiotics.

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

Organic Pastures Animal Welfare Approved products that may be available.
Organic Pastures is a fourth generation, family owned and operated, vertically integrated organic
farming operation. Their Grade A dairy is 100% organic and 100% pasture-based. Mark, Aaron,
and Kaleigh McAfee, who work respectively as Founder and CEO, Operations Manager, and
Marketing Manager, value the high quality of milk that comes from a humanely managed herd.
Organic Pastures cows are never confined to feedlots and always graze freely on abundant grass
pastures.
Page 276
california guide: farmers
The McAfees never give their cows hormones, GMOs, antibiotics or other synthetic chemicals. They
also decided that responsible herd management meant only using bull breeding, in place of artificial
insemination by a veterinarian. To promote the health and vitality of their cows they prioritize genetic
diversity, and keep a high percentage of Jersey, Guernsey, Normandy, Brown Swiss and Holstein
cows in their herd. These European breeds are better adapted to graze the pastures than traditional
Holstein cows, and make more butterfat so their milk is extra creamy. At Organic Pastures every
cow has a name and a place in the heart of the family and employees, a relationship built through
constant care and concern for the herd's well-being.
All of the milk from the dairy is processed on site at the Organic Pastures farm creamery. In addition
to producing raw, organic milk they make and sell value-added products including cream, butter, and
cheese. These products are distributed by their own fleet of 13 trucks to over 300 retail locations
(such as Whole Foods Market stores) in California, as well as 10 farmers markets. They are proud
to have an 8 year track record of zero pathogens while never having to pasteurize, homogenize or
otherwise denature their fresh milk. Organic Pastures offers free farm tours 7 days a week.
Organic Pastures Diary Company raw milk is not pasteurized, homogenized, or standardized. This is
natural milk coming directly from the cow.
Organic Pastures' pasture-based mobile dairy produces milk which is naturally low in bacteria.
There are no steel fences or concrete pathways that may injure the cows. The dairy design creates
very little waste, eliminating manure-filled lagoons, which are present on traditional dairies. The
Mobile Milking Parlor allows cows to remain in the pasture, instead of spending their lives in corrals
filled with manure. None of the individually named cows are ever given antibiotics, hormones, or
GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms). Only pasture, natural grains, and approved organic
homeopathic methods are used to feed and care for the cows. The health of each cow is a high
priority. Preventative healthcare keeps the herd healthy all year.

When you purchase beef from our ranch you support local, sustainable agriculture in Northern
California, and you know that you are eating food that is both safe and healthy.
Page 278
california guide: farmers
Our beef is grass-finished on our ranch South of Hollister in San Benito County, which means that
the animals are fed only grass their entire lives- no corn or grain products. When cattle are fed grain
to finish them, the composition of the animal fat changes dramatically, along with the amount of fat,
or marbling. As compared to the average grain-finished feedlot beef, some of the benefits of our
grass-finished product are:
Leaner Meat: one-third the amount of fat found in grain-finished beef or about the same fat content
as a skinless chicken breast
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA: 3-5 times as much of this cancer-fighting compound as grain-fed
Omega 3 fatty acids: 2-6 times as much as grain-fed
Vitamin E: 2-4 times as much as grain-fed.
Our animals spend their entire lives living in a low-stress environment. They live in herds on
pastures where we use no insecticides, pesticides, or herbicides. We never use growth hormones or
sub-therapeutic antibiotics. We are proud of the way they are treated and the quality of the meat that
results. All of our meat is processed in a small, custom USDA-certified processing facility in Orland,
CA and is tracked to the animal.
We have a variety of cuts available. See the order page on the website for a list of cuts and prices.
The meat is vacuum packaged and will last well in the freezer. Halves and split halves are also
available. The weight is approximately 200 lbs. (half) or 100 lbs. (split-half). When you purchase
this quantity, you can let us know whether you prefer a majority of ground beef or more roasts. This
product is available seasonally. Product can be picked up in Paicines (near Hollister) or Saratoga
(near San Jose). Contact us for further details.

Seasonal Raw Farmhouse Cheese. We use only the raw milk from our grass-fed cows, which
means we have complete control of the quality of our cheeses from start to finish. Our cows are
hormone and antibiotic free, and have as much access to pasture as nature will allow.
We're a local family farm and we serve Northern California exclusively with a variety of specialty
eggs. Our eggs are the freshest because our hens are never more than a few hours from our
customers.
Not only do our eggs get to market faster, they get there with a lot less impact on the environment.
We would rather put our resources into raising smaller, healthier flocks than spending it on fuel costs
to haul our eggs to distant markets. When you think about it, it just makes sense.
All our hens are treated the same, though their diets do vary. That means that none of our hens has
ever seen a cage and they benefit from all the rest of the exacting standards required to raise and
certify organic eggs.
In fact, the entire ranch you see above is certified organic. The sheep, cattle, and vegetables we
grow there are all raised for the organic market. Our business is eggs, but everything we do
contributes to our goal of sustainable agriculture

We have a farm and ranch, our practices are organic but not certified.
Phil and Katherine Foster farm 250 acres of C.C.O.F. and I.F.O.A.M. certified organic vegetables,
melons and fruit on two ranches near San Juan Bautista and Hollister, California. On our 50 acres
in San Juan Bautista, we grow cool season crops (examples: lettuces, cabbage) and on our 200
acres near Hollister, we grow hot season crops (examples: sweet corn, bell peppers, garlic, onions).
We have a diverse range of crops, marketing up to 60 produce items at the peak of the season. We
sell at the farm on Saturdays, and also through Farmers Markets, local retail stores, local
wholesalers, and through several national wholesalers.
* Paying our employees a fair wage and benefits, and treating them with respect. 20 workers are
year-round while another 20 seasonal employees return each year.
* Building the soil with cover crops and compost. We make all of the compost we need for our
farm on 4 acres, which are dedicated for that purpose. Wood chips from San Francisco bay area
cities are recycled through the composting process.
* Practicing environmentally sensitive pest control by attracting beneficial insects, constructing owl
boxes, planting hedgerows, spraying compost tea, and more. Our goal is to minimize spraying
(even though the sprays are organic) whenever possible. We try to anticipate insect and disease
problems, and use a multi-faceted approach to preventing them, using organic techniques.
Biological control is always our primary goal.
* Decreasing water consumption and protecting water quality by using drip irrigation whenever
possible, and other water saving techniques.
* Finding alternatives to fossil fuels. We have 53 kilowatts of solar panels, and intend to add
more. We fuel most of our tractors and trucks with Biodiesel. We run all of our diesel delivery
trucks, and our newer tractors, on 100% biodiesel (note: as of 2007, only 99% biodiesel is
available). Pre-1990's tractors have natural rubber hoses and gaskets which may be ruined by
biodiesel, but newer models utilize synthetic rubber which is relatively unaffected by biodiesel.
* Seeking to improve farming methods through observation, talking with other farmers, soil and
tissue testing, and keeping up with the latest research.

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

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

In Bordeaux, in Burgundy, or in California, most fine producers use the same techniques as others
in their region. Ridge is an exception, differing fundamentally from most California makers. These
differences go back to Prohibition, which severed California's connection with its winemaking past.
The post-Prohibition generation turned to the agricultural universities to learn how to make wine.
Chemists re-invented winemaking technologically, independent of traditional techniques developed
over centuries in Europe—and later pre-Prohibition California—which were based on empirically
acquired knowledge. Though born in the sixties to this new world of California winemaking, Ridge
turned to the natural rather than the technological. The approach is straightforward: find the most
intense and flavorful grapes, guide the natural process, draw all the fruit's richness into the wine.
Ridge wines are fermented using wine yeasts naturally present in the vineyard. Red wines are
fermented in small-capacity fermentors to assure full extraction and intensity. The juice is drawn off,
gently aerated, and pumped over a floating cap of grape skins. Once pressed, all wines complete a
natural secondary (malolactic) fermentation. Chardonnay is whole-cluster pressed, barrel fermented,
and held on its lees for an average of eleven months. In November, as malolactics move toward
completion, we assemble each zinfandel from small lots kept separate according to varietal and
vineyard parcel, choosing those that best accentuate the distinctive character of each site. The
wines are then racked, unfiltered, to air-dried american oak. Almost all the thirty-some small,
separate lots of Monte Bello go to new, air-dried oak barrels (approximately 95% american, 5%
french) for malolactic. In early February they are blind-tasted, and a first selection is made.
Assemblage is usually complete by May. Decisions on when to pick, when to press, when to rack,
what varietals and what parcels to include and—finally—when to bottle, are based on taste. To
retain the nuances that increase complexity, we handle the grapes and wine as gently as possible.
As with raising a child, there are no recipes, only attention and sensitivity.

Rue and Forsman Ranch, Inc. was formed in 1946 by Frank Rue and John Forsman. They began
raising beef cattle in the 1940's after graduating from UC Davis (Frank) and Stanford (John). Soon
after forming the partnership, they bought a ranch approximately 10 miles south of Marysville, CA.
At that time, the ranch consisted of irrigated and dry land pastures. Frank and John raised cattle
here for nearly 50 years, until the time they both passed away in the early 1990's. Frank Rue raised
his family on the ranch and his son, Michael Rue, decided to come back to the ranching business
after finishing his undergraduate and law degrees at UC Davis in the early 1970's. Upon his return
to the family business, Michael decided that the clay soils on the ranch would be suitable for rice
production and he began farming rice on the ranch in 1974. The soil turned out to be perfectly
suited for rice production and over the years, the pastures were converted to rice fields and we
began to shift our focus from cattle to rice. In order to diversify our farming operation, we began
farming rice organically in 1997. Today we have 477 acres certified organic by the California
Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF) certification agency. We rotate our rice with vetch every other
year. This allows us to enrich the soil with organic matter and nitrogen naturally and suppress many
of the aquatic weed and grasses that can be a problem when growing rice organically.Although
Frank and John are no longer with us, their legacy lives on with Rue and Forsman Ranch, Inc.,
which is owned and operated by our family. Currently, we are selling our organic, medium grain
white rice in the Sacramento area. We are committed to building long-term relationships with our
customers and providing them with a great product and unparalleled customer service. Please

Two acres. Two people. Two much work. Here at Sawmill Creek Farms we're attempting local,
sustainable, small-scale agriculture where the suburbs meet the pines. Spring production includes
vegetable, herb and flower starts, along with salad mixes, cole crops and cut flowers. In summer, we
offer seasonal favorites like heirloom tomatoes, specialty peppers, beans, squash and garlic. Come
fall, we usually collapse. We currently share our bounty at several local farmers markets, as well as

The family farm is owned and operated by Gary and Kim Romano, and their son Joey. Sierra Valley
Farms diverse operation includes growing and production of native plants, a wide range of
cool-season vegetables and some fruits, micro greens, herbs, wasabi, and value-added condiments.
The farm hosts an "on-farm" farmers market, restaurant CSA's, and a "Dinners in the Barn" summer
series.
Sierra Valley Farms markets most of their products byway of Farmers Markets in the Reno/Tahoe
area, and hosts the only on-farm Certified Farmers Market in California. The farm products are very
popular with the community markets and also popular is the unique CSA program,
community-supported agriculture, just for restaurants.
The historic farm once owned by Gary's grandparents goes back three generations in Sierra Valley
and hosts corrals with many years of composted manures and organic matter. The Romanos utilize
the natural dynamics of cover crops, rotation of crops, wildlife intrusion, and the four seasons to
enhance the already fertile soil. This, along with the cool summer climate produces some of the
finest quality organic vegetables in the world.
Sierra Valley has one of the harshest climates in the Sierras with winter temperatures of sometimes
below zero and only 60-70 frost-free days per year. The summers daily temperatures can fluctuate
as much as 50 degrees with morning lows in the 30's and afternoon as high as the 80's-90's. This
climate is also perfect for the propagation of Sierra native plants. The nursery retails and wholesales
native plants along with contract growing for public agencies and private contractors for
re-vegetation and restoration projects.
Sierra Valley Farms is proud of their commitment to the sustainability of the family farm. They
continue to diversify their farm operations and support agro tourism with the many events held on

The dream was to live off our land. In 2003 I decided to put our ½-acre garden to work and become
a market farmer growing organic cut flowers in our backyard in Silver Lake, Los Angeles. The goal
was to sell my flowers seasonally at local farmers' markets on the Eastside. It's hard to find organic,
local flowers. Most of them are flown in from abroad and/or covered in pesticides.
Page 306
california guide: farmers
Over the years I added herbs, vegetables, fruit trees and vines as well as organic loofah sponges
and cotton. In 2008, a lady living nearby invited me to grow on her estate. With a second growing
ground, Silver Lake Farms slowly started taking shape. The dream seemed possible…
I grow everything naturally and by hand. Our beautiful loamy soil needs no more digging. I use cover
crops, rotation, homemade compost, teas and locally sourced manures and mulch to keep soil
biologically fertile. I take a “whole” approach to growing, keeping things balanced with natural
habitats and companion plants so nature can do its thing. No need for chemical fertilizers or
pesticides.
My husband, Beat, takes care of engineering and design, drip systems and rainwater harvesting. He
figures out all the technical stuff and makes it “Tara-proof.” He cooks and builds; I grow and teach.
We design and install vegetable gardens and create productive mini homesteads for clients. We
also donate time for great causes in our community.
In 2009, something incredible happened. After telling me it was legal, and after six years at market,
LA City's Department of Building & Safety ordered me to stop selling my flowers or pay a fine/serve
six months in jail. They said selling homegrown flowers is illegal after all because it's not considered
"Truck Gardening."
Truck Gardening is allowed in LA City residential zones but City Planning's codebook manual
doesn't have any information on what Truck Gardening is. Officials consulted Webster's Dictionary
for a definition of the term. Because Webster's definition of Truck Gardening only mentions
vegetables, City Planning interpreted this to mean that it's illegal to sell anything grown in residential
gardens unless it's a vegetable. Fruit, flowers, seedlings? Not allowed! Too bad that broccoli's a
flower...
Okay… so now I'm a vegetable farmer! To keep the dream alive, I partnered with another local
farmer and launched a CSA. Read about my transition from flowers to vegetable farming in the Farm
Blog section of my website. CSA-ers, this blog is for you, too!
Meanwhile, supporters, friends and fellow urban farmers formed Urban Farming Advocates (UFA)
LA to do something about updating City Planning's codebook. It was originally written in 1946. UFA's
goal is to legitimize urban farming in the City of L.A. We think urban agriculture is the right way to
go. If you agree, and would like to participate in changing the law, please go to the
urbanfarmingadvocates.org website.
Because Silver Lake Farms is in residential zones, we do not publish our address on this site.
Thank you to all my loyal customers, who loved my flowers so much, and to all my wonderful friends
for your love and support. Please visit urbanfarmingadvocates.org and help me change the law!

Sonoma Country Poultry was founded in 1992 by Jim Reichardt, a fourth generation duck farmer, in
response to chefs looking for a larger, meatier, more flavorful duck. Jim discovered a strain of
Peking Duck that had been developed in Denmark, which had just the properties the chefs wanted.
He found that these ducks, "Liberty Ducks" benefited from the more leisurely pace of growth in that it
allowed them to be less stressed by too rapid growth. This allows for a market age of about 9 weeks
as opposed to six weeks. Sonoma County has the perfect climate for raising ducks in this style. The
combination of temperate year around climate allows the raising of the ducks on straw litter in an
open environment with a minimum of intrusion.
Liberty Ducks receive no antibiotics or hormones and are fed a diet that consists of mostly corn and
other grains. The combination of all these factors provided for the best, most flavorful duck available
in the USA today.
In addition to supplying the finer Bay Area Restaurants with their fresh duck needs, Sonoma County
Poultry ships directly to restaurants and individual customers across the United States. In the
western US the shipping is accomplished economically using UPS “ further east we must ship next
or two-day ship at a higher cost. Liberty Ducks are also available locally at select stores and
butchers. Call for details.

We are a family run operation of naturally raised, grass-fed lamb and wool. We raise purebreed
Romney sheep on our pasture where our family has been for over 30 years; now on the second
generation. We do not use hormones or anti-biotics and the sheep are never fed grain products.
Other than pasture the sheep are raised with organic alfalfa pellets to maintain wool cleanliness and
kelp; a rich nutrient source. We sell lambs whole or half, live or processed as well as odds and ends.
Flock maintenance is based on a strict keep and cull routine for sheep we want to keep for breeding
and we utilize what we know works best for health such as garlic and diatomaceous earth. Come by
for a tour, call with questions or recipe suggestions, and pick up some wonderful lamb that is
naturally low fat, high in protein and iron, zinc, and B vitamins and since it is grassfed very high in
conjugated linoleic acid (CLA)! We look forward to being your family farmer.
We raise pastured chickens for both eggs and meat. We turn sunlight, grass, bugs, and high-quality
domestic feed into animals that live a healthy and humane life, free to roam in fresh air and peck
and take dust baths, and then into delicious and healthy food. Here at Soul Food Farm we are
driven by the belief that "You are what you eat.…and what you eat, eats." It informs everything, from
the way we manage our pasture to how we manage the birds' health and the general care of the
farm. All these "inputs" and much more result in eggs and chicken that will elevate your cooking and
eating experience each time. Learn more about us through the links above — or pick up some of our
eggs from the self-service fridge at the end of the our driveway, and taste the soul of our philosophy

Larry Peter began his dairy in 1987, and started producing Spring Hill Jersey Cheese in 1998. The
homestead, artisan cheese produced by Spring Hill is made entirely from the milk of pasture-grazed
Jersey cows. Over the last two years, Spring Hill has developed a broad line of cheeses, including,
Quark, Ricotta, and a range of Cheddars and Jacks, which are offered, in addition to their traditional
forms, in a variety of natural herb and spice flavors including garlic, pepper and sage. Spring Hill's
White Cheddar and its Sage Cheddar each won an award at the 2000 American Cheese Society.

established a name for itself at the Farmer's Markets of Northern California, and is now developing a
presence in your specialty retail grocer. Spring Hill Cheese is completely all-natural, made from
100% fresh cultured grade A Jersey milk, salt, and enzymes...that's it! No artificial hormones.

Stubbs Vineyard

california guide: farmers
Stubbs Vineyard is a 600-acre parcel of heaven at the crest of Wilson Hill Road in West Marin. Here
the Stubbs grow 11 acres of chardonnay and pinot noir grapes from which they get about 600 cases
of each type of wine each year. Their land was one of the very first MALT easements back in the
early 80's and in 1996 they started growing grapes. They also have 1,000 Frantoio olive trees, a
small flock of sheep, a small herd of llamas to guard the sheep and a rottweiler named Fluffy.Tom,
who grew up in England, takes care of the agricultural side of the operation, while Mary, who has a
degree in viticulture, does sales, marketing and label design. When they first began growing grapes,
they sold their crop to other vintners. Later, they decided to partner with local winemaker Dutton
Goldfield, and in 2002, released their first vintage. They hope to someday have their own
home-based operation where they can oversee the wine from field to table.
The Stueve family are organic farmers whose land is nestled on the up-slope of the Sierra Nevada
mountains. The Stueve cows have an advantage they can't get anywhere else in the country access
to pasture and the outdoors nearly 365 days a year. "The secret," says Stueve, "is grass
management. We raise grass as a crop, not as a parking lot." Pasturing nourishes the land, recycles
nutrients and reduces erosion.

"members" subscribe to a weekly share of produce from a local farm, which is delivered to a
convenient "site" in the member's neighborhood. This relationship facilitates both financial support
for a small farm's community and provides supporting members with fresh and unique produce to
which they would otherwise have less access.

Terra Firma was started by Paul Holmes (Pablote) over seventeen years ago, with a old VW van
and a rototiller -- a mile up the road and five hundred feet uphill from its present location, on less
than an acre of land. Over the years, the farm moved down to the fertile alluvial soils along Putah
Creek just west of Winters, at the hilly edge of the Sacramento Valley.
In 1994, Paul was joined by Paul Underhill -- Pablito, and they began to organize friends and
acquaintances in San Francisco who wanted to get fresh, local organic vegetables on a regular
basis. The CSA, or Community Supported Agriculture project, started with about 50 people and has
now expanded to feed over 700 people weekly. In the meantime, the farm has grown to include
over 99 acres of fields and orchards, including walnuts, apricots, and citrus.
Terra Firma, rare among California farms today, is as much about people as it is about produce.
Our farm supports 30 employees, many of whom have been with us for five years or more. Some,
like our delivery driver Hector Melendez, have been with Paul Holmes almost since day one. Valerie
Engelman has been our CSA Coordinator, office manager and bookkeeper for ten years. People
become part of the farm and their personlities come to define their jobs. A far cry from "migrant
farmworkers", they have been essential in making our farm what it is today.
Our customers also play an crucial role in helping our business succeed, and in inspiring us. Many
of our subscribers have been with us since the beginning of the CSA, and they visit us each year at
our fall farm day. Their kids have grown up with the memories of running through our fields and
playing in our orchards, and they've grown up healthy while eating our vegetables.

This farm produces Animal Welfare Approved goat milk and cheese.
Toluma Farms is a Marin County, California, family owned, Grade A goat dairy in the town of
Tomales. This unique coastal community is nestled above Point Reyes, Marshall and the Tomales
Bay estuary. The coastal fog and hilly terrain is the perfect environment for dairy goats. Owners
Tamara Hicks and David Jablons are developing a line of fine artisan, hand crafted goat cheeses
here. In addition, they supply goat milk to Redwood Hill Farms of Sonoma County.
With their daughters Emmy and Josy, Tamara and David purchased their once-defunct cow dairy in
2003. The initial inspiration to purchase and restore the land came from a deep love of West Marin.
Many pioneers had worked tirelessly to ensure that this land remained in the hands of farmers to
produce food for California and beyond. The Hicks-Jablons family wanted to contribute to protecting
the land and supplying food to the local community (San Francisco, Sonoma, and Marin). Toluma
Farms attributes its success thus far to the hard working, committed and intelligent team of
individuals (Hanna Hart, Laura Freeman, Cory Brush, Keri Sheridan, and Jennifer Rogge) who pour
their souls into always improving the health of the goats as well as the health of the land.
Page 324
california guide: farmers
It is this commitment to the land and animals that led Tamara and David to Animal Welfare
Approved. They strongly believe that healthy goats need to have access to nutritional pasture at all
times and unlike other certification agencies, Animal Welfare Approved requires its farmers to utilize
pasture-based farming practices. Tamara notes, “After having gone through the certification
process with Animal Welfare Approved we always look for the label when purchasing food because
we know firsthand that a farm with an AWA label matches our values and vision for farming.”
Organic dairyman Tony Azevedo has always done things a little differently. Although most dairy
farmers in the Central Valley carry the grass to the cows, Tony and wife Carol believe it's best to
bring the cows to the grass.
We began selling pasture-raised poultry grown in Salatin style portable bottomless pens moved daily
to fresh pasture but are switching to a day range model where the chickens are given more pasture
using electric netting to keep them in and the predators out. All poultry is processed on the farm and
sold directly to the consumer. All feed is natural and contains no animal by-products or antibiotics.
Currently we sell whole chicken fresh and frozen during the market season.
We are also selling true free-range pasture raised eggs. Our hens are laying well now and we are
getting several dozen a day. You can get our eggs from our farm on Wingfield Rd. in Janesville for
$3.50 a dozen.
We have been selling all natural produce for several years with salad, root crops, and cole crops as
our specialty. We have been selling at the Susanville Saturday Farmer's Market and the Quincy
Thursday Farmer's Market. In addition to the markets, last year we are started a CSA with 8 shares

HAVE YOU HUGGED A COW TODAY? We invite you and your family to step back in time and
experience "old fashioned" farm living.
In the not so distant past, our parents and grandparents lived a different lifestyle. There were no
automatic dishwashers, fast food restaurants, and washing machines, dryers, running water or
Supermarkets. Some folks used wash boards to wash their clothes. They raised their own meat and
vegetables and home canned their food for winter use. You can experience some of that "old
fashioned" farm living at Willow Creek Ranch.
We have been in business since 1999. Both our families are farmers from at least as far back as the
1500's. Cathie's family is mostly from England and France and John's family is from Scotland and
Germany and England. John is a retired Computer Engineer and loves farming.Willow Creek Ranch
got its name due to the fact that both the North and South Fork of Willow Creek meet on Willow
Creek Ranch.
Willow Creek Ranch has received blue ribbons for its Challah Bread, Cheddar Cheese, Quilts and
farm items. The Ranch was featured in "California Women Farmers". The book can be obtained
from UC Davis Small Farm Center in Davis California.
Our family combined consists of 12 children and 4 grandchildren. After retiring, we suffered
extensive health issues. We began to research healthier living and nutrition. We were appalled at
the garbage we were putting into our bodies and resolved to do what we could to try and correct the
physical and mental damage incurred to our bodies. We started with a chicken and a goat. Our 14
year old daughter freaked out when she discovered where chicken eggs came from. (She got over
it). We began to grow our own vegetables without hormones, pesticides or additives using natural
farming methods. We bought a cow and began to get our own milk and dairy products produced
from her milk. We found that natural products are so superior in taste and nutrition that now it
actually makes us ill to eat processed food. Our goal was to produce enough food for ourselves and
our grown children with their families. In return, our grown children and their children work on the
farm fixing fences, churning butter, sewing, bringing in hay, repairing buildings all on their days off
and during their vacation times. Our farm is a true family run unit. When we began to get a lot of
drop-in's from people who had never been up close to a farm animal and In order to sell any
overage and make the farm have money to pay for the animal feed and other items needed, the kids
started a co-op to enable other people to buy direct from the farm. The Farm Stay evolved from this
concept.

http://www.winterportfarm.com/3.html
In 1865-1867, the Winter family voyaged from Germany to settle in the Ione Valley of California. 140
years later the land is still in the family and one portion is known as Winterport Farm. This 180 acre
farm, now run by Dan and Susan (nee Winter) Port, was purchased by the Winters in 1905 and is
adjacent to the original homestead. A family farm for over 100 years, the land has served as a dairy,
melon and vegetable farm, community pumpkin patch, choose and cut Christmas tree farm, and
most recently, a cattle ranch producing natural and grass-fed beef.
After World War II, Susan's father, George, operated a 60 cow dairy. In 1970, with dairies changing
from family farms to the large industrial operations we see today, he was told by his milk processor
to “get big or get out” and he gave up the dairy to raise beef calves. Shortly thereafter Dan and
Susan moved back to the farm. They rescued an 1875 farmhouse from a neighboring farm, moved it
next door to George, fixed it up and painted it yellow - and a local landmark was born.
In 1978, they gave up their teaching careers and made the committment to earn their living from
farming. For the next 20 years, Dan and Susan helped George with the cattle and sold melons and
vegetables from their roadside stand and local farmer's markets, providing affordable, healthy, local
food in their community and beyond. With the encouragement of local teachers they began offering
field trips and scarecrow building for schoolchildren at their pumpkin patch. Off the farm, Dan was a
founding director of the Community Alliance with Family Farmers.
Ten years ago, Susan resumed her teaching career and Dan began to focus on raising beef calves.
The farm raised kids, Jeff and Carina, as well as food. Susan's nephew James also moved back the
farm. Today, Jeff and his wife Katie, Carina, James, and his sons, Erik and Josiah all help run the
farm.
In 2008, the Ports sold a conservation easement on the farm to the Sacramento Valley Conservancy
to preserve it forever. The purchase was funded by the California Farmland Conservancy Program.
For more details on this joint effort to conserve valuable agricultural land, see this article.
My name is Mary Fahey and I own Wise Acre Farm. My main interests since childhood have always
focused around art, design, animals and growing things. I guess it's no wonder that my life has
followed the path it has. I earned my college degree in Fine Art from U.C. Davis. After college I
began a career as a graphic designer. In 1997 I bought a 10-acre farm in Arbuckle. The farm has
since grown to 20 acres where abundant gardens grow, a menagerie of animals thrive and I make a
diversified living through graphic design, gourd artwork and supplying local folks with fresh produce.

Diversify. When I started learning about running a small farm, the word diversify kept coming up.
"Grow a variety of different vegetable, fruit and nut crops,"... "create value-added products from the
items you produce on your farm,"... "try different things - eggs, wool, meat, honey" ..."in this day and
age, diversification is the only way a small farm can survive." I read this advice over and over, and
heard it at the farm conferences I attended. Over the years, I have come to see first-hand that it is
true - diversification is the key to running a successful small acreage farm.
Wise Acre Farm is a diversified small farm system. I grow a variety of fresh market produce that is
sold through local deliveries (CSA), farmers markets and a home farm stand. I grow hard-shell
gourds that I sell via the internet, and I also create artwork from them (a value-added product) that I
sell in art galleries and at art and craft shows. And finally, I continue with graphic design, a career
that I love and a skill that I utilize both in my artwork and in running the farm, as it keeps my mind
thinking in creative ways.

The Ecology Center has operated certified farmers' markets in Berkeley since 1987. Farmers'
markets are festive family-friendly open-air marketplaces where California farmers bring fresh
locally-grown fruits, nuts, vegetables and farm-processed foods to sell directly to consumers.
Berkeley Farmers' Markets are committed to supporting small-scale farmers who practice
sustainable agriculture, so more than half of the produce available at the markets is registered or
certified organically grown.
Also at the markets is an abundance of fresh baked goods, jams and preserves, juices, olive oils,

nice soft crumb with irregular air pockets and a wonderful crust. All our bread is baked with natural

and vegetables straight from the farm local, they are fresh from the vine or tree. Because they are
harvested later than grocery store produce, they have grown more nutritious and sweeter. Farmers'
Markets also provide benefits to small family farmers, the local economy, and your health! California

exceptional quality, value and service. The Henry's family includes 23 stores in Southern California

This is a local family, that has been in the farming business for over a 100 years.
They specialize in organic produce from their farm and local growers at their Produce Stand at the
entrance to there farm.
Jack Creek Farms is a small 5th generation family farm. Our farm is nestled in the coastal foothills
of Central California 6 miles west of Templeton and Paso Robles. Our farm stand is located directly
off of scenic Highway 46 West, in the heart of San Luis Obispo County wine country. We have RV
and tour bus parking with easy highway access.
Folks who visit our farm are invited to take a few moments to reconnect with simpler times past.
Stroll through our demonstration gardens and antique farm equipment display. Pick a sunflower,
olallieberries or a basket of sun kissed vine ripe tomatoes. Discover long forgotten heirloom
varieties of fruits and vegetables enjoyed many generations ago. Let your kids plant a sunflower
seed in a pot to take home with them. Try your hand at throwing a lasso and rope "Bailey" our
mascot roping steer. Pump our old-fashioned water pump barrels or sit down and enjoy a leisurely
game of checkers. In the fall kids love our u-pick pumpkin patch. Sample apple cider slushees and
pomegranate juice granitas. Browse our country store or visit with the farm animals. Enjoy a freshly
made caramel apple or a honey ginger cookie from our on-site bakery. We use our own free-range
ranch eggs, honey, freshly ground whole wheat flour, apples, peaches, olallieberries, walnuts,
pumpkins, etcetera, that are grown on our farm in our delicious baked goods. If you like fudge, we
make what we believe will be the best you have ever tasted. Best of all . . . take home a memory!
We use naturally grown farming methods and believe firmly in being good stewards of the land. We
provide you with an opportunity to put a face on your farmer, and to learn where your food comes
from.
We plant, tend, and harvest by hand which results in a high quality product. Summer produce is
picked fresh daily and at its peak of ripeness. We are pleased to offer you fresh and wholesome
foods, old-fashioned hospitality, and a true taste of country each time you stop by.
Check out the links to the left to learn about the many activities and products we have available from
our farm's roadside stand. We host group tours which can include lunch or cider and cookies. Our
tour focus changes with the seasons - Herbs & Veggies in the summer and Gourds & Pumpkins in
the fall.
With your support we hope to continue to supply our visitors and community with fresh and
wholesome fruits, vegetables, wheat berries, wheat flour, juice and baked goods.

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

a respect for nature and a sense of place. As the primary link between farmers and eaters, Marin
Page 393
california guide: farmers markets
Organic is committed to promoting and supporting a sustainable, organic county - a county in which
growers and the people who rely on them recognize their mutual interdependence.
Founded in 1999, Marin Organic's mission focuses on the environmental soundness and economic
viability of farming and ranching in Marin County. Its members include such well-known names as
Cowgirl Creamery, makers of award-winning organic cheeses, Star Route Farms, the oldest
continuously certified organic farm in California, and Straus Family Creamery, the first organic dairy
west of the Mississippi.
In addition to promoting local organic agriculture, Marin Organic has many projects that address
environmental issues, such as Salmon Safe certification and a popular farmer education workshop
series, as well as a variety of programs which focus on community health, such as its Marin Organic
School Lunch and Gleaning Program, a program that also addresses underserved communities in
Marin.
By restoring ecological and social values to agriculture and realigning traditional expectations of
farming with a holistic understanding of ecology, Marin Organic aims to re-empower local
communities, foster environmentally sound agriculture and celebrate local food production. Marin
Organic is at the forefront of a movement which is creating a healthy, sustainable, and safe
environment for all beings, today, and for generations to come.
Marin Sun Farms is the extension of my family farm, nestled in the rolling grasslands of the Point
Reyes National Seashore in Northern California. We are focused and committed to producing local,
pasture based food for our Bay Area community with the aspiration of building a sustainable food
model.
We strive to allign our production with the natural principles that a holistic, connected, perception of
the world provides. We understand that an approach that mimics natural processes is the key to
maintaining the stable functioning of our ecosystem. To that end, we raise 100% grass-fed beef,
lamb, goat, pasture raised chickens, pork and simply the best eggs you've ever had.
We love to hear from like minded individuals and businesses with similar sustainable goals. Please
feel free to contact us with any questions and comments.
“Pasture based food, that is locally produced, invites and inevitably satisfies the desire for a real
sense of place, it connects us with the seasons and the natural world, and ultimately, after
invigorating the palate, fortifying the body, and stimulating conversation, resonates a genuine
appreciation of life.”

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

Urban Village Farmers' Market Association, a Non-profit Mutual Benefit Corporation, was formed
March 1997 to provide the best possible opportunity for farmers, food vendors, and community
members to preserve, enhance, and enjoy regional fresh quality foods. UVFM's mission is to
promote the family farm; help protect the local environment by sustaining and restoring surrounding
greenbelt areas; and above all, to help build real community by fostering economic and social ties
between producers and consumers.
We have enjoyed the role of bringing California's agriculture and urban communities together for
their mutual benefit, increased communication, and shared education. Our presence as a key
educational medium for schools, environmental causes, and health and nutrition programs has been
rewarding.
The purpose of the Santa Cruz Community Farmers market (SCCFM) is to provide local farmers a
time and place to bring the freshest, highest quality, most nutritious foods to residents of the
community. SCCFM operates four markets in the Santa Cruz area: The Downtown Santa Cruz
Market on Wednesday aternoons, the Capitola Village Market on Thursday afternoons, the new
Saturday Westside Market (starting May 20th, 2006), and the Sunday Live Oak Market. The
Wednesday Downtown Santa Cruz Market is a large, all-year market with as many as 50 vendors
during the peak season.
Santa Cruz Local Foods is a year-round online marketplace formed to bring light to the abundance
of foods available locally. We source our foods from small-to-medium sized producers who employ
organic methods or use organic ingredients and who operate within 100 miles of Santa Cruz, unless
noted. Through the convenience, ease of use, and transparency of our system, we intend to make
the localization option more accessible to the public, and further encourage the growth of our local
food based economic system.

The main purpose of the Farmer's Kitchen is to link California small farmers with the urban
population by extending the presence of the Hollywood Farmers' Market through the entire week.
The Farmer's Kitchen will offer urban residents a convenient source of fresh produce and healthy
meals made through the joint effort of local farmers and urban chefs and apprentices.
The Farmer's Kitchen will also educate and train community members through nutrition classes and
job training programs. Mothers and caregivers will learn to prepare nutritious meals on a budget
using local produce through SEE-LA's successful "Good Cooking" classes. Job training will give
participants food industry knowledge and skills; in a community with a high unemployment rate, the
job training program will create career opportunities by linking graduates of its program with local
chefs and food experts and by employing participants as apprentices in the Farmer's Kitchen during
their training.
Finally, the Farmer's Kitchen will create an additional venue for farmers to market their goods
directly, thereby helping ensure the economic stability of local farmers. In addition to the weekly
Hollywood Farmers' Market, farmers will benefit from sales of produce and value-added products for
the retail component, for the "Good Cooking" classes, and for the Healthy Market Basket Program.
Drawing on fifteen successful years of the weekly Hollywood Farmers' Market, the Farmer's Kitchen
will be a permanent site for rural-urban exchange and will spur economic development to the benefit
of both the community and local farmers. The Farmer's Kitchen will ultimately be a self-sustaining
and permanent food security solution for Hollywood's population.

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

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

team. Maureen, also a veteran of the Bay Area restaurant scene, was a chef before joining the
Cowgirl team. When you visit the creamery, you can observe cheesemaking in action through a
glassed-in viewing area. Afterward, you'll want to visit our cheese counter to taste a variety of great
artisan cheeses. Our cheese mongers will be glad to answer your questions and provide
suggestions. In addition to delicious cheese, we stock cheese books, cheese knives, cheese
boards, and special condiments to accompany your cheese.
The barn, located at 80 4th Street in Point Reyes Station, is open Wednesday through Sunday, from
10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Group tours can be scheduled in advance for Fridays at 11:30 a.m. The tour
consists of a 25-minute presentation, followed by a tasting of Cowgirl Creamery cheeses. The
charge for the tour is $3 per person.

It has been just eight years since Sue Conley and Peggy Smith launched Tomales Bay Foods in a
renovated barn in Point Reyes Station, California. After successful careers as Bay Area chefs, the
women shifted their focus to Tomales Bay. Their new market would carry the region's finest natural
foods and other products, from prepared dishes, fresh, organic fruits and vegetables, wines and
cheeses. Sue and Peggy began to make cheese from the pure, natural, organic milk produced by
Straus Family Dairy, and Cowgirl Creamery was born. All Cowgirl Creamery cheeses are still made
at the barn in Point Reyes Station.
In 2003, we opened Cowgirl Creamery Cheese Shop at the Ferry Building, along San Francisco's
Embarcadero. The location is incredible! There are many other shops to visit, as well as wonderful
farmers' markets on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. Please visit Rachel and Becki, our
personable managers, and the rest of our great team. Cowgirl Creamery Cheese Shop is open
Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Saturday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and Sunday from 10

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

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

Instead of the "mono-culture" that has emerged in the Napa Valley, at Long Meadow Ranch we
have developed an integrated farming system that relies on each part of the Ranch contributing to
the health of the whole. Long Meadow Ranch is an innovative organic farming operation and
purveyor of fine foods.
Located high above the Napa Valley on the picturesque slopes of the Mayacamas Mountains, Long
Meadow Ranch produces extraordinary red wine, extra virgin olive oil, grass-fed beef, organic eggs,
and heirloom fruits and vegetables for Napa Valley's finest restaurants.
We focus on raising outstanding breeding for our beef. Scotch Highland beef is considered by many
Page 479
california guide: online shopping
to be the best in the world and is even raised by the British royal family for its own consumption. In
keeping with Long Meadow Ranch's organic practices, our beef is chemical-free, hormone-free and
antibiotic-free.
We make our own fertilizers on the Ranch through an extensive composting operation that relies on
organic material from each segment of the Ranch. Soil erosion is controlled, and new soils are built
through the extensive use of permanent cover crops made up of carefully selected grasses, clovers,
and legumes. We do not use herbicides or pesticides and all crops are produced in accordance with
the California Organic Foods Act of 1990.
Long Meadow Ranch beef and eggs are available for sale at the Saint Helena Farmers Market,
through the ranch's website (beef only!) and also on Saturdays from April to October at the LMR
Rutherford Gardens - an open air market located in Rutherford, owned and operated by Long
Meadow Ranch.
Since 1989 Mäni's Bakery has been satisfying discriminating palates and sweet-tooths with cakes,
cookies, pastries and breads, baked from high quality, natural, less-refined ingredients. Then in the
mid 1990s, following the same philosophy Mäni's began its restaurant as well.
It's the quality of the food and wholesome goodness of the ingredients that makes Mäni's a
destination for Angelenos: organic flour in all of our baking, a choice of sweeteners, including fruit
juice reduction, granulated maple syrup, organic cane sugar, agave syrup and more. All of these
ingredients let Mäni's serve up an array of tempting baked goods that are not overly processed.
They bring out the product's true taste like our real chocolate sweetened with barley malt. The
results are delicious, healthier versions of traditional foods for the health conscious connoisseur.
Mäni's is famous for creating healthier versions of classic recipes. Our signature chili is hugely
popular because of its great taste and full bodied flavors, yet it's key ingredient is turkey, which
results in lower fat and cholesterol.
Mäni's brings to each menu item the commitment to use only the freshest ingredients, free of
artificial additives, sweeteners or preservatives. We are also pleased to say we use no
hydrogenated fats in our freshly baked products, and in most cases replace them with organic
alternatives.
Mäni's uncompromising commitment to wholesome food created from high-quality ingredients have
resulted in our simple motto: Good food that's good for you!

While wondering what she'd be when she grew up, Christine Doerr found herself watching a lot of
Julia Child. It was the late 1980s, and cooking shows were becoming popular. One day, Christine
announced, “I think I'll be a chef!” and promptly moved to San Francisco to attend the California
Culinary Academy. After being turned off by a butchery class, she decided she liked sugar and flour
more than raw meat, and her career as a pastry chef began!
Christine perfected her craft as a pastry chef during her more than 10 years of working in multiple
establishments in the San Francisco Bay Area such as Palo Alto Baking Company, Draeger's
Market and Flea St. Café. She wanted to open her own business. “Wouldn't chocolate truffles be
yummy?” she asked herself. Rather, she stuffed her back pockets full of culinary knowledge and
experience, and went back to school to study graphic design. But soon, her long-held dream of
creating chocolate truffles using fresh, local, organic ingredients once again came knocking at the
door. This time, Christine answered, and Neo Cocoa was born.

By working with a network of independent family farmers, Niman Ranch controls its meat all the way
from the farm until it reaches the customer. Most meat in the United States goes through many
distribution layers before it reaches the consumer. Niman Ranch knows where and how each piece
of meat is produced and provides direct feedback to the farmers and ranchers about quality.
At Niman Ranch, a skilled team of butchers portions the meat daily to customers' specifications.
Niman Ranch employees conduct tastings of their product regularly to ensure that it meets their
rigorous taste standards. Today, Niman Ranch ranchers, butchers, office staff, and drivers are
fulfilling the vision upon which the company was founded to bring the best possible meat to
customers while practicing the highest standards of husbandry and environmental stewardship.
Niman Ranch beef, pork and lamb are available for on-line purchase. Visit our Niman Ranch Online
Market to place your order. As part of their commitment to educating customers about what they do,
Niman Ranch invites you to sign up for their email newsletter and attend a farm or ranch tour.
Deneane and Mark Ashcraft have farming in their blood. Both are sixth-generation California farmers
and both feel a deep connection to their land and their animals. “I don't think we can't not farm,”
laughs Mark. “It's in our blood.” The Ashcraft's farm is the first goat dairy to become Animal Welfare
Approved in the United States. When Deneane first heard about Animal Welfare Approved at Slow
Food, San Francisco, it seemed a natural fit for North Valley Farms. “The standards are
comprehensive and deal with every aspect of the goats' lives. We get asked about the welfare of our
animals a lot and the Animal Approved Welfare seal is a nice fit of us. It lets our customers know
that our goats are out running around in the grass, being goats, and that we're not a confinement
operation.”
North Valley's goats are born and raised on the farm and Deneane, who is the goat keeper, puts
their well-being first and foremost. “Our goats are so important to us and we want them to have as
natural a life and as contented a life as possible,” she said. “And our goats are healthier, too. Their
high standard of living means they live a longer, healthier life and produce longer.”
The Ashcrafts also make handcrafted farmstead goat cheeses, which are made in small batches
and are free of hormones and antibiotics.
Congratulations to Deneane and Mark Ashcraft! Their North Valley Farms soft goat's milk cheese
was Best of Class at the 2009 U.S. Championship Cheese contest. The U.S. Championship Cheese
contest is the “Superbowl of cheese” and was held in Green Bay, Wisconsin in March 2009.

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

Rue and Forsman Ranch, Inc. was formed in 1946 by Frank Rue and John Forsman. They began
raising beef cattle in the 1940's after graduating from UC Davis (Frank) and Stanford (John). Soon
after forming the partnership, they bought a ranch approximately 10 miles south of Marysville, CA.
Page 489
california guide: online shopping
At that time, the ranch consisted of irrigated and dry land pastures. Frank and John raised cattle
here for nearly 50 years, until the time they both passed away in the early 1990's. Frank Rue raised
his family on the ranch and his son, Michael Rue, decided to come back to the ranching business
after finishing his undergraduate and law degrees at UC Davis in the early 1970's. Upon his return
to the family business, Michael decided that the clay soils on the ranch would be suitable for rice
production and he began farming rice on the ranch in 1974. The soil turned out to be perfectly
suited for rice production and over the years, the pastures were converted to rice fields and we
began to shift our focus from cattle to rice. In order to diversify our farming operation, we began
farming rice organically in 1997. Today we have 477 acres certified organic by the California
Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF) certification agency. We rotate our rice with vetch every other
year. This allows us to enrich the soil with organic matter and nitrogen naturally and suppress many
of the aquatic weed and grasses that can be a problem when growing rice organically.Although
Frank and John are no longer with us, their legacy lives on with Rue and Forsman Ranch, Inc.,
which is owned and operated by our family. Currently, we are selling our organic, medium grain
white rice in the Sacramento area. We are committed to building long-term relationships with our
customers and providing them with a great product and unparalleled customer service. Please
contact us anytime if you have any questions or if you would like to visit the farm.

No animals are ever given artificial growth hormones or stimulants and are guaranteed to be free of
antibiotics. They guarantee their ruminant livestock are 100% green-fed and pasture raised their
entire lives, with no consumption of grain, by-product supplements, or ever setting a hoof within a
confinement feedlot.

With the help of our committed staff, volunteers and donors, our program has helped to address
several important concerns--raising awareness of the importance of good childhood nutritional
practices to avoid health-related problems like diabetes, raising awareness among our children and
their parents of the integral role of agriculture in our community, and enabling children to reconnect
to the land and environment that sustains them.
FFT has developed five inter-related program components with associated curricula that integrate
California State Academic Standards. These program components are: 1) nutrition education, 2)
garden-based learning, 3) agricultural literacy through farm field trips, and 4) advocating for fresh,
local, seasonal produce in all school meals. The fifth and newest component, the "5Rs" (reduce,
reuse, recycle, rot and rethink!) focuses on minimizing the ecological footprint of the OUSD by
minimizing landfill waste, reducing use of toxic chemicals, efforts to conserve energy and water and
paper and other resources.
FFT also conducts a number of free community events, including "Films for Thought," a series of
films on sustainable agriculture, food, and environmental concerns. FFT's comprehensive program
was the fourth farm-to-school program to develop in California, was one of the first to be listed as
part of Slow Food USA's "Slow Food in Schools" program and handbook, and has served as a
model for a number of other school districts. There are now hundreds of similar programs across the
United States.
In 2006, FFT became a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. The combined skills and expertise
of its current board of fourteen directors includes farming, environmental science, education,
nutrition, accounting, business, medicine, gardening, and law. To sustain our efforts, FFT relies on
foundation grants, fundraising events, and individual contributions in addition to the dedication of our
staff and volunteers.

Our history in Yolo County, California began in the early 1850's when Abraham Barnes settled here
and began farming. He soon sent for his family, including daughter Grace, who migrated here from
Kentucky. During this time, Grace met up with 32 year old Joseph Helm Harlan, a Virginia native
migrating to California, who was driving an ox team and supply of cattle to Yolo County.
Joseph and Grace eventually married and purchased the Barnes homestead, living and farming
there for the rest of their lives. Six generations later, the Harlan Ranch continues to be a family
owned and operated.
The ranch has varied its agricultural production according to the times, ranging from livestock to
grains, forages and vegetables. We have adapted too many changes in crops and technology and
have remained committed stewards of the land.

About PlacerGrown
P.I.N.A. is a grassroots organization comprised of diverse individuals from Napa County, including
educators, healthcare professionals, environmentalists, and home gardeners. What we all share is
the belief that genetically modified organisms (GMOs) pose a serious risk to our health and the
health of future generations, and that they also threaten our environment, economy, and consumers'
rights. We all eat food and are concerned that these irreversible changes to our food supply and
environment are taking place without governmental oversight, without input from the general public,
and without people's knowledge and consent. Sadly, the past decade has shown that GMOs only
truly benefit the biotech corporations that field test and commercialize them at the expense of
farmers, consumers, and the environment.

Since studies show that the more people learn about GMOs, the less they trust them, our primary
strategies, in addition to advocacy, are education and dialogue.

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

The Foundation envisions a nationwide public school curriculum at all levels that includes hands-on
experiences in school kitchens, gardens, and lunchrooms. This curriculum will inspire students to

In addition, we envision public school systems providing delicious, healthy, freshly prepared meals
for all of their students as a regular part of each school day-in lunchrooms that appeal to all the
senses and are ecologically designed. To create real change in students' eating habits, we must
rethink their education and experiences with food, beginning with their experiences in school.

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

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

been in the family since prior to 1867, and while the ranches were still in ten years of bankruptcy.
With great personal sacrifices, overcoming enormous difficulties Garth and Ione paid inheritance
taxes twice, and every creditor in full with interest.
After the death of Garth in 2001, Ione has led the stewardship of the ranches with the emphasis on
the environment with sustainable farming and ranching, treating animals humanely, conserving land
and water for the future.

Fred's family on his father's side were from Virginia, and settled in the Esparto, California area in the
1800s, while his mother's family, from Spain, settled in California later, in the 1900s. In the 1940s,
Fred's parents brought the first Angus cattle to Yolo County by train, and operated this ranch
growing Angus cattle, and later adding fresh market apricots.
Fred and Alice took over the family business around 1980, and have worked hard building the

with low birth weights (easy births), yet they grow large and heavy at weaning and as yearlings. As

Family owned since 1918, the six generations affiliated with the Nick Ranch have been consistently
producing beef cattle, and in addition, have provided breeding stock and herd sires for many other
ranchers in the United States. We are Certified Organic and 100% Grass-fed.
We are proud of the cattle we raise, and are pleased to finally offer our packaged grass fed beef to
a select group of health conscious consumers.
We have been raising our own beef for our friends and family for many years. We knew that our
beef had an exceptionally good flavor. We recently discovered that we have always been raising
"health food"! It took us some time to fully understand the real benefits of 100% grass fed beef. Our
cattle are never confined, nor are they ever given grain. Antibiotics, steriods and hormones are not
used.
Nick Ranch beef can be ordered in 6 to 28 pound mixed boxes. Visit the website for more

Rue and Forsman Ranch, Inc. was formed in 1946 by Frank Rue and John Forsman. They began
raising beef cattle in the 1940's after graduating from UC Davis (Frank) and Stanford (John). Soon
after forming the partnership, they bought a ranch approximately 10 miles south of Marysville, CA.
At that time, the ranch consisted of irrigated and dry land pastures. Frank and John raised cattle
here for nearly 50 years, until the time they both passed away in the early 1990's. Frank Rue raised
his family on the ranch and his son, Michael Rue, decided to come back to the ranching business
after finishing his undergraduate and law degrees at UC Davis in the early 1970's. Upon his return
to the family business, Michael decided that the clay soils on the ranch would be suitable for rice
production and he began farming rice on the ranch in 1974. The soil turned out to be perfectly
suited for rice production and over the years, the pastures were converted to rice fields and we
began to shift our focus from cattle to rice. In order to diversify our farming operation, we began
Page 566
california guide: ranches
farming rice organically in 1997. Today we have 477 acres certified organic by the California
Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF) certification agency. We rotate our rice with vetch every other
year. This allows us to enrich the soil with organic matter and nitrogen naturally and suppress many
of the aquatic weed and grasses that can be a problem when growing rice organically.Although
Frank and John are no longer with us, their legacy lives on with Rue and Forsman Ranch, Inc.,
which is owned and operated by our family. Currently, we are selling our organic, medium grain
white rice in the Sacramento area. We are committed to building long-term relationships with our
customers and providing them with a great product and unparalleled customer service. Please
contact us anytime if you have any questions or if you would like to visit the farm.

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

We began over 10 years ago as a small coffee bar nestled snuggly in the SOMA district of San
Francisco. As the lines grew longer, and SOMA flourished, it became apparent that coffee alone
was not going to cut it. There was a serious demand in this neighborhood for a comfortable space,
that provided quality, yet reasonably priced food...so we evolved. Since then we've organically
grown into an eclectic café with a tasty and affordable menu of quality comfort food.

The Brickhouse Cafe is run by founder, Fred Reeves, along with co-owner, Kim Kobasic. While Kim
and Fred are busy keepin' it real, our executive chef, Carlos Maldonado, keeps busy personalizing
our consistently fresh and wholesome menu of American comfort food.
The Brickhouse Café is a neighborhood staple for SOMA residents and commuters alike. The
rustic, cozy and unpretentious atmosphere, offers a pleasant reprieve from the often overly stylized,
aloof and fusion-obsessed environment to which our urban climate is prone to.

Our beef is all natural and provided directly from Fred's family farm in Eastern Washington.
Don't forget to sample our ever so popular "Big Ass Burger" and/or our Wagyu "Kobe" Burger.

Our wild Sockeye Salmon is caught directly by Fred, who makes an annual pilgrimage to Bristol
Bay, Alaska. Our salmon is offered both freshly grilled and house-smoked, in a variety of ways.
We are now serving imported Bavarian Beer, hailing from breweries dating over 1000 years old.
These were tasted and hand selected by the Brickhouse Cafe owners in Bavaria, Germany.

We, at Café Colucci use the best imported organic, sun dried and traditionally seasoned herbs and
spices. Our scintillating entrees are cooked to order to ensure freshness. We use the best cut of

designed to offer an open, festive, casual atmosphere. The focal points of the dining room are our
copper backed open kitchen and the French made Rotisol Rotisserie, which allow you to view the
creation of your meal.
The sandstone used throughout the bar and dining area is imported from India. Our bar top is hewn
from a solid piece of California Fir, tracing its history back to the Old Bass Lake Hotel at the turn of
the century.

Founded by Alice Waters and an assortment of idealistic friends in 1971, Chez Panisse recently
celebrated its thirty-fifth year with a restatement of its commitment to good food, community, and
sustainability. It is very simple: Chez Panisse gathers its material from known and trusted purveyors,
known to be committed themselves to sound and sustainable practices, and trusted to remain
informed and responsive to these values in a rapidly changing society.
Page 614
california guide: restaurants
By soundness Chez Panisse means healthful products and practices, as pure and natural as
possible, without synthetic additives or pollutants, without unnecessary complexities of packaging
and marketing. By sustainability Chez Panisse means conservation of resources, both natural
resources like the families, businesses, and networks that plant and harvest and provide.
Chez Panisse seeks farmers who know their seeds and soil, ranchers who care about the food their
livestock eats, winemakers who know what their grapes have known, fish merchants who are
concerned about the health of the seas. To them Chez Panisse adds kitchen and wait staff who care
about the material of their work, knowing they will enjoy and take pride in the technical expertise
they add to it. Chez Panisse reaffirms its commitment to all this, knowing that it is central to both the
deepest and the most joyous of human activities: generosity, companionship, nourishment, growth.

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

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

Over 40 years ago, Barney and Kay Matheson began their pioneering work in the health food
industry. Their goal was to make available to the public a complete nutrition center and in June of
1959, they opened Full O' Life natural foods supermarket and restaurant.
It was one of the first modern, up-to-the-minute natural food centers in the west. The market offered
the largest selection of health grocery items, naturally produced dairy products and meats,
supplements, and cosmetics. The most important feature of Full O' Life was the produce section
where organically-grown fruits and vegetables were brought in daily from certified organic farms
throughout Southern California.
This unique service made the Mathesons famous in the field of health foods, and brought to the
residents of Burbank and other nearby cities the first operation of its kind. Today Full O' Life remains

a contemporary and innovative business, continually growing and improving over the years.

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

Join us as we begin our ninth year of creating progressive American cuisine influenced by France,
the Mediterranean, and our local Farmers' Markets.
Chef Josie's alluringly uncomplicated menu is a reflection of her healthy approach to eating as well
as her flair for flavor-rich combinations. She has orchestrated an original melody of classic cuisine
and comfort foods, ranging from the enticing Pan Seared Duck with Savory Hawthorn Berry Sauce
to the homey rib-eye steak with Pop's Peppercorn Sauce.
Her eye for variety and quality is readily apparent in her ingredients; The hazelnuts in her roasted
beet salad are organically grown in Oregon. The wild rice is hand-harvested from a lake that has
never been touched by a motorboat. And the elk comes from a ranch in the Rockies that prides itself
on a “no stress' policy towards animals.
Chef Le Balch's unique concept of culinary harmony resonates in Ralph Gentile and Sophie
Harvey's interior design. The interplay of the rustic and the refined is evident in every room. From
the sand-blasted wooden ceiling beams and the modern skylight to the hand-crafted stone hearth
and the tailored lines of the furnishings, the ambiance is a mixture of old country warmth and clean,
contemporary sophistication, a perfect palette for Le Balch's imaginative menu.
It has been said that Josie has always had “one foot in the old world and the other in the new.” And
with the opening of Josie Restaurant, diners now have the best of both!

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

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

are either from the local farmers markets or delivered to us by small local gardners.
The restaurant's cuisine is based on the availability of these ingredients, seasonality, sustainable
agriculture, fishery and farming. We hope with this ideology we can contribute on a very small scale
to the betterment of the world around us.
Restaurateurs Bradley & Jody Ogden and Michael & Leslye Dellar have been drawing national
media attention to The Lark Creek Inn since opening in 1989. Surrounded by towering redwoods,
the sunny yellow house (built in 1888) is a thorough delight from its entryway gardens to its
stone-floored sun porch. Out back, an umbrella-shaded, and heat-lamp warmed garden beside a
meandering creek is the perfect spot for lunch, Sunday brunch or summertime dinner. A
wood-burning brick oven is the focal point of the main dining room, where a glass ceiling lets the
outdoors in.
We believe that seasonal farm fresh produce is the best. Visit the Marin County Farmer's Market
early on any Thursday or Sunday and you will see us shopping there. We like to buy fish directly
from the fisherman rather than wait until it is two days older and has been sold twice. Local ranchers
raise cattle, lamb and quail to our specifications. It is a little extra work, but the quality is worth the
effort.
The Lark Creek Inn is central to San Francisco, the Wine Country and then East Bay, located on
Magnolia Avenue in picturesque Larkspur.
Hours: Lunch is served Monday through Friday from 11:30 a.m to 2 p.m. Brunch is served Sunday
from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Dinner is served Monday through Friday from 5:30 to 10 p.m.; Saturday from

Literati Cafe is a family-owned restaurant that was built to nourish the bodies, minds, and spirits of
creative writers, artists and thinkers.
Literati Cafe offers an organic, earth-friendly dining experience avoiding preservatives, fillers or
additives. Our organic coffee is shade-grown and free-trade, and our tea is top notch loose-leaf. The
entire restaurant uses filtered water, our mint lemonade is hand-made, our juices are
fresh-squeezed, and we offer vegetarian and gluten free dishes and desserts to excite both your
palate and your imagination.
The reasonable prices at Literati Cafe are totally surprising because of the high quality of the food,
especially when considered in relation to other restaurants in Los Angeles-- not to mention
Brentwood. We serve extraordinary foods such as fresh farmed-raised eggs and chicken, organic
mixed greens and shade-grown coffee. Despite a higher cost to us, our coffee is specially grown
and pesticide-free (unlike most) but is priced to compete.

Page 694
california guide: restaurants
Certain farms have been commissioned to produce items specific to the Lodge.
Local small fish and seafood companies who deal in regional Southern California and Baja catches
are utilized, as well as other west coast purveyors.
Out of respect for the quality of the foodstuffs available, the cooking is somewhat restrained in order
to take advantage of the natural flavors and textures of the ingredients. Simple combinations allow
each ingredient of a particular dish to enhance one another while retaining individuality. When
dealing with the best, I see no reason to mask or alter any of the intrinsic qualities, which each
ingredient contributes to the composition of a particular dish.
To this end, various cooking procedures are utilized in order to bring out the best flavors that an
ingredient has to offer. Because of this more hands off approach and the use of simple seasonings,
various olive oils, and intense broths and juices as flavoring mediums, the dishes retain their
nutritional integrity.

An 1882 Victorian-style inn situated in tranquil Mendocino Village, MacCullum House features a four
star luxury mansion and a gourmet restaurant with spectacular views of the Pacific.
In the restaurant, dinners are served in a library study graced by two river stone fireplaces,
bookcases, oil lamps and flowers on the tables or, informally, in the cafe. Chef Alan Kantor is proud
of the fact that "everything we serve you is prepared in our own kitchen, including breads, hand
rolled pastas, and smoked meat, fish or poultry.
We use only the freshest seasonal ingredients and feature local and regional organic and wild
crafted products whenever possible."
To begin the MacCallum House dining experience you might choose an aperitif from the Grey Whale
Bar to accompany a first course of select oysters, duck leg confit or roasted gnocchi and chanterelle
salad. Second courses may include wild king salmon, bouillabaisse, roasted organic chicken, grilled
chops and steaks, the vegetarian dinner and the evening's exciting specials.
The restaurant offers a fine wine selection with a focus on outstanding local vintages. House made
ice creams, cheesecake souffles, bread puddings and creme brulees make for a sweet ending or
perhaps enjoy a late night dessert with espresso, cappuccino or cafe latte after a village stroll.
Chance meetings with other coast explorers like yourself or with Mendocino's colorful and artistic
community add to the discovery of your visit to the fire lit Grey Whale Bar.

should be. Mama Testa provides you with the opportunity to try each one in the most honest and
traditional way possible ”with all-natural, free-range meats, just as they have been made for decades
in the homes of Mexican families.
The menu is broken down into four distinct, culturally specific sections: Mama¡ Blanditos' soft corn
tortilla tacos rooted in the northern states of Mexico; Mama Guisadose Mexico City-style soft corn
tortilla tacos brimming with stews and complemented with rice and beans; Mama Durosa crunchy
tortilla shells from Guerrero and Jalisco; and finally, Mama Cesta, where you make your own
combination from 4 steamed tacos, in the tradition of Guanajuato.

Since 1989 Mäni's Bakery has been satisfying discriminating palates and sweet-tooths with cakes,
cookies, pastries and breads, baked from high quality, natural, less-refined ingredients. Then in the
mid 1990s, following the same philosophy Mäni's began its restaurant as well.
It's the quality of the food and wholesome goodness of the ingredients that makes Mäni's a
destination for Angelenos: organic flour in all of our baking, a choice of sweeteners, including fruit
juice reduction, granulated maple syrup, organic cane sugar, agave syrup and more. All of these
ingredients let Mäni's serve up an array of tempting baked goods that are not overly processed.
They bring out the product's true taste like our real chocolate sweetened with barley malt. The
results are delicious, healthier versions of traditional foods for the health conscious connoisseur.
Mäni's is famous for creating healthier versions of classic recipes. Our signature chili is hugely
popular because of its great taste and full bodied flavors, yet it's key ingredient is turkey, which
results in lower fat and cholesterol.
Mäni's brings to each menu item the commitment to use only the freshest ingredients, free of
artificial additives, sweeteners or preservatives. We are also pleased to say we use no
hydrogenated fats in our freshly baked products, and in most cases replace them with organic
alternatives.
Mäni's uncompromising commitment to wholesome food created from high-quality ingredients have
resulted in our simple motto: Good food that's good for you!

Manresa is the showcase for the inventive cuisine of Executive Chef David Kinch. Influenced by
French and modern Catalan cooking, Chef Kinch finds inspiration from European traditions and
refinement, American ingenuity and the vast bounty that California has to offer. Manresa's
biodynamic vegetables are grown exclusively for Manresa at Cynthia Sandberg's Love Apple Farm

The restaurant's name comes from the medieval town in the Catalonia region of northern Spain
famous for its Gothic basilica and monastery as well as from a beautiful stretch of beach south of
Santa Cruz, which the Jesuits of early California named Manresa.
You are invited to join us in a relaxed atmosphere of casual sophistication for seasonal Modernista

We strive to allign our production with the natural principles that a holistic, connected, perception of
the world provides. We understand that an approach that mimics natural processes is the key to
maintaining the stable functioning of our ecosystem. To that end, we raise 100% grass-fed beef,
lamb, goat, pasture raised chickens, pork and simply the best eggs you've ever had.
We love to hear from like minded individuals and businesses with similar sustainable goals. Please
feel free to contact us with any questions and comments.
“Pasture based food, that is locally produced, invites and inevitably satisfies the desire for a real
sense of place, it connects us with the seasons and the natural world, and ultimately, after
invigorating the palate, fortifying the body, and stimulating conversation, resonates a genuine
appreciation of life.”

The Natural Soul Food Non Profit Cafe in Los Angeles and its connected cultural and artistic
counterparts for other cities to similarly nutritionally and cross culturally serve other national
communities. The first and foremost purpose is to use "Pay What Taste Buds Say" as the unique
and unselfish theme as we have done in Los Angeles to gain trust and bring out integrity especially
within a low income community where each non profit franchise in other cities should be located.
Both Lynn and Tina have been preparing and serving homemade healthy food for their families for
more than 20 years. They are passionate about healthy, good tasting food, as well as the farming
practices and sustainability of the food products they use, and the strong sense of community that is
born out of this approach to food. They have always based their own cooking on a whole foods
concept, preparing everything from scratch. About ten years ago they got involved in a natural food
buying club here in Antioch . The group bought organic and natural food from a distributor in bulk
and split it between about five families. With the lack of available natural and organic products in
East County, they found that they had many outside friends wanting to join the group. Tina and Lynn
decided to put a formal buying co-op together to offer it up to the community. With the help of good
friends, they formalized the ordering process, the infrastructure of the group and the splitting of the
food. At the pinnacle of its life, the co-op supported thirty three families.
A few years back, life circumstances changed and the women found that they would need to
financially support themselves. With their independent, creative nature, they knew that they didn't
want to go to work for someone else, and they knew that they wanted to earn money working with
their passions. They have a strong sense of community and wanted to make a positive contribution
to society, while supporting and providing for their families. With their combined backgrounds in
restaurant management, business and biochemistry, along with their passion for food, they had the
tools necessary to meld all of their assets into a successful business concept. In December of 2004
they sat down together and decided to go for it. They spent the next ten months hammering out all
of the details and creative financing. On October 29th 2005, Nature's Bounty Organic and Natural
Café opened its doors to the public in the Historic Rivertown District of Antioch with full intention of
offering a natural and organic dinner delivery service.

New Moon Cafe originated in 1997 out of a love for food and community. The idea behind the
restaurant was to create a space that offered big city dining, yet still carried a small town
atmosphere.
Almost ten years on, the restaurant is still rooted in the same community traditions. Just about
everything that goes into the kitchen and onto the plate comes from local organic and sustainable
farmers. All the meats are non-medicated and come from animals that were raised in natural,
humane environments. This fish is all wild and line-caught, none of it is farmed, and the restaurant
makes certain to only carry those species that are considered chemical/mercury-free and not
threatened/endangered.
At any one time, at least 1/2 to 3/4 of the produce is certified organic. Moreover, many of the stock
ingredients, such as flour, are 100% organic. The menu even features organic wines, beers, and
sodas.
New Moon Cafe is open for lunch Tuesday through Friday, 11:30am to 3:30pm and for dinner
Tuesday through Thursday, 5pm to 9pm; and Friday through Sunday, 5pm to 9:30pm.

One Market Restaurant's 1993 opening was eagerly anticipated by San Francisco's sophisticated
diners who were excited about Bradley Ogden's return to the City. One Market was an instant hit.
The restaurant features an open exhibition kitchen with a "Chef's Table" in the kitchen, two private
dining rooms, a luxurious bar (watched over by a fantastic James Stagg painting of the Marin
Farmer's Market commissioned for the restaurant). Add a top-notch staff and there's little wonder
why One Market has been packed from the first day.
We believe that seasonal farm fresh produce is the best. (We helped establish the Ferry Plaza
Farmers' Market and now support it by shopping there.) We like to buy fish directly from the
fisherman rather than wait until it is two days older and has been sold twice. Local ranchers raise
cattle, lamb and quail to our specifications. It is a little extra work, but the quality is worth the effort.
One Market serves lunch Monday through Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and dinner Monday
through Saturday from 5:30 to 9 p.m.

Organic To Go was founded two and half years ago by a group of men and women who have
worked in the natural products industry for many years. Busy with careers and families, the current
lifestyle of our culture creates a simple need and desire for delicious yet wholesome fast, casual
food. The challenge was how to find it and get it conveniently!
After experiencing typical fast food options and lunch box deliveries, we knew there had to be an
alternative. Originating from different backgrounds, we each had a vision of healthy casual meals,
with everything from ham and cheese sandwiches (Wisconsin folks) to deli-style roast beef
sandwiches (Pennsylvania folks) and veggie packed salads (California folks).

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

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

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

We at Pizzaiolo believe that the simple act of feeding people is at the core of what it is to be human.
We focus on the ritual of taking life from the world around us and presenting it to you to sustain your
own life. We believe that taking part in this ritual is vital and deserving of the utmost respect to the
plants and animals we choose to source and to you, our friends, family and customers. We also
believe that this ritual is one that all Americans took part in until about seventy five years ago. There
is nothing fancy about it, in fact its pretty much how we have all been eating for hundreds of years.
In accordance with these simple ideas we have come up with a few basic rules we try to follow.
Whenever we can, about 98% of the time, we buy only locally grown, organic, seasonal meat and
produce. We buy from small farmers we know and love, people we eat with, drink with, and share

Organic, local and sustainable ingredients are the first choice for Chef Robin Valerie Low who grew
up on twenty-one acres on the outskirts of the Bay Area--cooking from age six with harvests from a
giant, organic vegetable garden, a flock of egg-laying chickens, prolific fruit trees and local
farm-stands. She studied cuisine, pastry and wine at Le Cordon Bleu Paris and blends Northern
California's local/organic sensibilities with French influence and techniques. Her charming

The Prather Ranch Meat Company works with small, local ranchers and farmers to offer
sustainably-raised meats that are of the highest quality anywhere. At the shop, we sell beef from the
Prather Ranch and other meats such as lamb, heritage pork, bison, and vitellone (free-range "veal")
from a handful of other sustainable farms and ranches. Customers can rest assured that all of the
meats come from animals that are raised in humane environments where animal health and
environmental stewardship are held in the highest regard. The animals are given ample room to
roam on pasture and are never fed or supplemented with antibiotics, hormones, animal by-products,
or GMOs.
The Prather Ranch, which is an organic cattle and hay operation located in the shadows of Mount
Shasta, is involved with the shop, but the ranch and the store are actually separate entities. Prather
Ranch is committed to producing the highest quality certified organic beef in the North state. Meat is
vacuum-packed on-site at a USDA-inspected plant. Prather Ranch meat products can also be
purchased online directly through the Prather Ranch website.
The Ferry Building shop is open 7 days a week. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday 10
a.m. to 7 p.m.; Saturday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Prather Ranch Meat Company also operates a grill as part of the Farmer's Market featuring several
of our meats, including buffalo tacos! The hours of the grill are Thursday from 4 to 8 p.m. and
Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. (April to October only).

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

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

full of light even with the rich brick interior and ancient Aztecan murals dressing the walls.
There is outdoor seating for warmer days and a full bar with all the right ingredients for the perfect
Margarita to compliment the full range of Mexican dishes served. For each level of the restaurant
there is a salsa bar stocked with the day's freshest and most delightful flavors. Tlaloc also serves
breakfast starting at 7am, the eggs are raised free-range hand delivered from Saldana Farms all
week long.
The commitment to fresh and healthy cooking makes compliments the passion for flavor found in
each dish at Tlaloc.
Jorge's philosophy is simple and consistent: The best flavor comes from the freshness and quality of
the sum of ingredients. Freshness comes from the dedication to carefully and thoughtfully selecting
your ingredients. The Sonoma based, Saldana Farms grows all organic; peppers, potatoes, onions,
carrots, corn, cilantro, garlic, tomatoes, tomatillos, squash, lettuce, cucumbers, blueberries,
strawberries, cantaloupes, watermelons, peaches, and cactus. He raises his own chickens and uses
only the freshest eggs as well. He searched long and hard for the perfect place to grow organic
produce and farm all his ingredients. The land is located in the heart of a protected expanse where
no pesticides can be used or other harmful chemicals can be spread.
Jorge believes in the humanity of cooking and feeding. The health of our environment as well as our
own health as individuals relies on the daily choices we make around consumption. Eating organic
food is one way of participating in the greater health of both the individual and everything else
surrounding. Jorge is proud to contribute to this end, “humans do not deserve to eat poison. We
deserve to eat well, and be well, it is a choice we can make!”
Saddles prides itself as being Sonoma's premier Steakhouse, specializing in serving only the finest
steaks, chops, and fresh seafood. Saddles also hosts an outstanding selection of Sonoma and
Napa wines and has earned The Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence.

171 years of vibrant history! Stokes, as an adobe landmark in Old Monterey, is the ideal backdrop

ethereal dimension to the building. His "distressed renaissance style of ornamental painting" bathes

Chef Brian Christensen's rustic cuisine combines two essential elements: prime regional produce
and a respect for Mediterranean style. Local producers of vegetables, fruits, meats, and cheeses
are featured in every dish. To live and cook on the Monterey Peninsula is to know the local foragers
and growers and to seek their bounty; wild mushrooms from Big Sur, family farmed organic produce
& herbs, fish brought from Monterey Bay to our kitchen door.
In Chef Brian's kitchen, dishes are created with inspiration from the Mediterranean crescent; Spain,
Southern France and Italy's Ligurian coast. Our menu includes Tapas & Crostinis, Wood-Oven

At the Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens, we endeavor to use as much in-season, locally and
organically grown produce as possible. We do this not just because we believe in the very simple
principles of freshness and sustainability, but also because fresh, local and organic tastes better.
Sure, it's better for you too, but let's not get too caught up in that or someone might think we're crazy
health nuts here at Stone. Sure, some of us are, but try not to pay any attention to that. Instead, pay
attention to the way our food tastes, and do your best not to think that it's healthy for you in any way
(have another onion ring and try not to concentrate on the beer goodness in it).
Not surprising to hear that we also use 100% naturally raised meats. And the same fresh / honest /
artisanal / natural standard goes for all our food. Our sauces are all house-made unless specifically
mentioned otherwise in the menu. Our kimchee and pickled items are also all house-made. Of
course, it is crazy expensive, and our prices reflect some of that reality. However, we also feel it is
the much, much better way to go. So that's the way we roll.
Greg Koch & Steve Wagner, co-founders of Stone Brewing, have been involved in the international
Slow Food movement since 2000. Slow Food, so-named as the organization represents the
antithesis to fast food, promotes getting “back to the table” and celebrates artisanal, natural and
old-world approaches to food. And so do we! And considering the fact that the world has become a
“global village,” we have decided to celebrate our love of all things culinary by drawing freely from
cultures and dishes from all over the world. Thus the word “world” in our name Stone World Bistro &
Gardens.
All of our items are 100% VEGAN and made with organic wheat flour, unless otherwise noted. We
use organic products whenever possible, shop local and support fair trade practices. We compost
and try to keep our footprint small on our wonderful Mother.
We have lots of gluten and sugar free options.

Cindy (Stein) Gershen opened the original Sunrise Cafe & Bakery on South California Blvd. in
Walnut Creek in 1981, baking her own breads and pastries, and is still the owner today. A family
business, her son, Joe Stein, is the general manager.
Sunrise Bistro & Catering not only serves comfort food "like Mom used to make," but under Cindy's
guidance is leading the way in how restaurants can make their food delicious and healthy for you!
We use no hydrogenated oils (trans-fats) or high-fructose corn syrup in our recipes. We use fresh
ingredients and salt sparingly to let you decide how much you want to have! We bake our own
breads, pastries and desserts, along with preparing our own jam, berry compote, and salsa from
scratch. You can enjoy our breakfast potatoes or potato salad, but we also offer other healthier
options, such as brown rice or sweet potatoes. At Sunrise you are free to make your own choices for
your best well-being!
Cindy has become a well-known and respected advocate for healthy living. Having lost and kept off
over 90 pounds for more than eight years, her passion is to take the lessons of healthy diet and
exercise and then condense that information into simple, practical solutions that people can use
everyday. She often speaks to local businesses and organizations to share her tips for healthy
eating and its effects on productivity in the workplace/school, occasionally including cooking
demonstrations. If you are interested in further information or possible speaking engagements,
please call (925) 930-6323 and Angie will be happy to assist you.
We have recently remodeled our Sunrise Bistro and are now open for dinners. The Bistro is located
in the Main Street Plaza on Botelho Drive. We are offering our Cuz'nz BBQ menu for lunch and
dinner. We've also added a full bar with flat screen TV! Our Banquet Room can be reserved for
private parties of 15 to 40 guests. And, of course, you can still enjoy outdoor dining on our patio.
Many of our customers have been asking what happened to our location at 1355 S. California -
formerly our Sunrise Cafe that then became Cuz'nz BBQ. We decided not to renew our lease there
so that we could provide a better venue for our BBQ customers - table service with more seating,
plus bar, in addition to more parking and proximity to downtown attractions. This move enabled us to
open the Bistro for dinner and offer your favorite Bistro menu items for dinner as well.
Sunrise Catering prepares everything from cold buffets and box lunches to full-scale dinners and
hors d'oeuvre receptions. We also offer outstanding breakfasts - hot or coldÑdelivered to your office
or event. We deliver within the Tri-Valley area, and will go anywhere in the Bay Area under
appropriate circumstances.
By popular demand, we have also included BBQ in our catering repertoire! As with most of our
catering, you can order BBQ menu items a la Carte or full meals for 15 or more guests, including
staffing if desired. (Smaller orders can be placed directly with the Bistro.)
We are preferred caterers for the Lesher Regional Center for the Arts, the Gardens at Heather
Farm, the Veterans Memorial in Lafayette, and Temple Isaiah, among other venues.

money for nonprofits, which are always struggling to raise funds."Most importantly, we want to
create awareness for the programs,says co-owner Peggy Triplitt. "You can have a good mission as
a nonprofit, but if no one's heard of you, those are just words."SwingTime Café got its start at the

community where they all live. The Café and catering business now operate out of a downtown
location and continues to donate a portion of the proceeds to local nonprofits.

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

outstanding cuisine, supporting sustainable agriculture and organic farming through our purchasing,
minimizing waste and recycling all manufactured items and food wastes.
Although organic produce is becoming more widely produced outside the United States, providing
year around supplies of commonly seasonal produce, our approach has remained essentially
seasonal. What is available in northern California is generally what we serve.
All of the dairy products and eggs served at The Ravens is organic, and the restaurant also makes
use of a certified organic garden on the property. Using French intensive, biodynamic, and organic
methods, we raise a wide variety of lettuces, cabbages, spinach, radishes and gourmet vegetables.
Some beds are used to provide cut flowers and others are rose beds. We are also experimenting
with a wide variety of fruit trees, learning which will flourish on the coast.
The Ravens is open seven days a week. Breakfast begins at 7:30 a.m., and dinner begins at 5:30
p.m.
The restaurant menu changes daily according to what is fresh, seasonal and of highest quality.
Local, organically produced ingredients are our first consideration when designing new menu items.
We like to draw on our local producers in and around the Livermore Valley. The restaurant garden,
tended by Diane Dovholuk, provides the restaurant year-round with herbs, vegetables, edible
flowers and citrus. The restaurant kitchen supports the completion of the food production cycle by
contributing kitchen food waste to the composting area. Diane is a master gardener and composter,
passionate about all aspects of recycling and responsible use of resources.
The efforts at the restaurant mirror those company wide and all the way through the vineyards.
Wente Vineyards focuses its efforts in sustainable agriculture in two areas. The first is an innovative
program that grows and recycles vineyard cover crops into an organic fertilizer and soil enhancer
used to create what is called œliving soils•” soils that renew themselves. The second approach
involves creative farming practices that minimize the need for pesticides by encouraging biodiversity
in the vineyard.
Frequent conversations with all purveyors regarding what's new, fresh and readily available are key
to our menu development. Excursions to local farms, cheese makers and food shows help to keep
us informed on what is new and furthers our relationships with purveyors and farmers. We make
everything from scratch. We are proud to work with fresh high quality ingredients. Our message to
the kitchen staff is to handle each product minimally and with great respect so that each ingredient

A historic restaurant serving American fare made with locally sourced fresh ingredients.
The Veggie Grill is well known in Southern California for serving classic American comfort food.
Their menu includes such favorites as BBQ Wings, Chicken Caesar Wraps and Carne Asada. It's
what The Veggie Grill doesn't serve, however, that makes them stand out. Everything they prepare
is completely meat and dairy free.
The Veggie Grill uses tempeh and wheat meat (textured wheat protein) as the base for their
meatless meals. Both blends have a meat-like consistency that is easily infused with a variety of
marinades and flavors. These mock meats are so close in texture and taste to the real thing that
customers don't even realize they're eating vegetarian food. Their menu is free of cholesterol,
trans-fat, animal fat and high fructose corn syrup.

Long ago in the old village of Vista an idea sprouted… Wouldn't it be nice to have a place in this
unusually quiet and uncrowded part of Southern California for a pleasant place where we could
meet friends and serve good food…
So, early in the year of 2003 this property was acquired on Broadway… an old one room dilapidated
building stood next to the old Adobe offices. That little building was torn down and then began a very
long process of learning for us. We got to know about building permits, architects, engineers, many
fees, etc. Finally, after many trials and even more errors, we began building our Deli in 2008.
From the ground up, our nice Deli building began to take shape. And after many more difficulties
and many more fees, building permits, architects, and engineers, we finally finished the task. It took
seven years all together. On Feb. 14, 2010 we opened our doors.
So, the nice idea is now a living reality: the Yellow Deli.
Some may say that we're dreamers, but we're not the only ones…
Even longer ago, and even farther away, the idea actually sprouted up of a society where people
could work together and live together in peace and harmony. The “utopian” ideal of a society of
complete sharing has come and gone across the face of history over the years, but few realize that
the roots of this type of living was demonstrated most vividly in the “First Church” (which was entirely
made of up Jewish believers in the Messiah) as they practiced complete communal living… this fact
is documented clearly in the Bible. Somehow it must have appeared to them to be the perfect way to
live out all the demands of Love, going the “extra mile”. So, why not live that way today?
That is a good question. It seemed to us like love demanded that kind of “together lifestyle”. So, for
the last 40 years, we have been working together as a co-operative, raising our families together.
Not until the early 2000's did we actually start a community here in Vista. Some of us are originally
from this area and were very happy to become part of such a community right here. We support
ourselves by organic farming (Morning Star Ranch Organic Avocado Ranch, Valley Center) and sell
our produce at the various Farmers Markets in our area. The Deli is able to serve you fresh, organic,
and local produce some of which comes from our own ranch. We also have woodshops where we
work together, making nice doors and windows and cabinets (such as the ones you see in the Deli).
We do high quality work and have two woodshops in Vista, (one on Mercantile, and one on, S.
Santa Fe, Vista). And now we work together to run our little Deli built with great care by all of us
together…
So, we have good organic food, nice craftsmanship, and a nice environment to eat a meal.. that is
The Yellow Deli!
Our way of life is different and we do not mind one bit answering your questions. As Henry David
Page 801
california guide: restaurants
Thoreau once wrote: “If a man does not keep peace with his companions, perhaps it is because he
hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far
away.”
We are just extremely happy to be here in Vista and to have actually, finally opened our doors.
We hope your dining experience is pleasing and you can be sure, “We are here for you…”

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

Founded in 1947 by Frank Corti and his brother Gino Corti, Corti Brothers' mission was to expand
the culinary experiences of Sacramentans by offering delicacies and wines not readily available
elsewhere in the Sacramento area, thereby providing them with an appreciation for diverse cuisines.
Toward this end, he sought to hire people who were interested in the products they sold.
Much has changed over the years as Corti Brothers has progressively moved into the 21st century,
but we've still retained the Old World charm that has long been our trademark. Our old fashioned
deli provides the best of both worlds, bringing you the latest innovations in the meat and cheese
world, yet served the old fashioned way by a person with friendliness and good cheer. Our deli has
an excellent selection of meats and cheeses that never fails to delight. And our meat department
has a wide variety of the finest meats available, only USDA grade choice or higher. Our journeyman
meatcutters are the best in the business, with decades of experience at producing only the highest
quality cuts. What other markets consider "fancy" or "specialty" cuts are everyday stock in trade at
Corti Brothers.

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

These days, the cheesemaking is under the direction of Maureen Cunnie and her hard-working

Cowgirl team. When you visit the creamery, you can observe cheesemaking in action through a
glassed-in viewing area. Afterward, you'll want to visit our cheese counter to taste a variety of great
artisan cheeses. Our cheese mongers will be glad to answer your questions and provide
suggestions. In addition to delicious cheese, we stock cheese books, cheese knives, cheese
boards, and special condiments to accompany your cheese.
The barn, located at 80 4th Street in Point Reyes Station, is open Wednesday through Sunday, from
10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Group tours can be scheduled in advance for Fridays at 11:30 a.m. The tour
consists of a 25-minute presentation, followed by a tasting of Cowgirl Creamery cheeses. The

Cream of the Crop has been in business since December of 1989. It used to be just a regular mom-

you can say we are now a family-run Natural Food Market. Over the years we decided to bring more
organic choices to the area. Today, we carry the biggest selection of organic produce in the city,
much of it grown by local farmers. We also carry a full line of groceries, vitamins and cosmetics, and
we have a full juice bar and deli for healthy sandwiches and smoothies made to order.

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

We plant, tend, and harvest by hand which results in a high quality product. Summer produce is
picked fresh daily and at its peak of ripeness. We are pleased to offer you fresh and wholesome
foods, old-fashioned hospitality, and a true taste of country each time you stop by.

our farm's roadside stand. We host group tours which can include lunch or cider and cookies. Our
tour focus changes with the seasons - Herbs & Veggies in the summer and Gourds & Pumpkins in
the fall.
With your support we hope to continue to supply our visitors and community with fresh and
wholesome fruits, vegetables, wheat berries, wheat flour, juice and baked goods.
By supporting small family farms, you have helped to not only preserve our rural character and
cherished open space, you have also helped to preserve our family traditions and heritage.

Joshua Tree Health Foods was founded by longtime Joshua Tree resident Linda Perry to provide
her unique community of friends with the finest nutrition products at unbeatable prices.
This small and friendly health food store boasts a wide selection of fresh organic products, frozen &
packaged foods, herbs, supplements, body care products, and books.
We work directly with small family farms, seeking out heirloom and forgotten fruits, hoping to revive
Page 903
california guide: stores
the tastes of our collective pasts. These fruits, once commonly grown and available, are now rare
and almost extinct. Supporting the farmers who grow them helps to ensure that these varieties of
fruit will not be lost.
Following traditional methods of preserving, organically grown fruit is hand-cut and stove-top cooked
in small batches with the addition of a minimal amount of organic sugar and no commercial pectin.
Endeavoring to utilize the entire fruit, we use the seeds and membranes of citrus to make our own
pectin for marmalades, and candy the peel. Inspired by traditional pairings, we infuse the flowers
and herbs we grow into the fruit to create complex flavors.
Each pot yields an average of 8-10 jars and is hand poured. Letterpress labels are applied by hand.
It is our belief that this close attention to detail and extremely small scale yields the best quality
possible in a preserved fruit.
All of our fruit is grown within the U.S., the majority in Northern California. It is grown organically by
sustainable agricultural methods without the use of synthetic chemicals, allowing the fullest flavors in
the fruit to develop. Capturing these tastes is the craft of our business.
Our complete line is available direct from us online, at the San Francisco Ferry Plaza Farmers'
Market, and at The Still-Room Shop in Berkeley.

The Kresge Food Co-op is certainly more unique amongst co-ops, since it is an entirely student run
project at Kresge College, University of California at Santa Cruz. The co-op has been a tradition of
the college for over twenty years.
The co-op is open from 9am to 7pm on weekdays and weekends from noon to 6pm - and no, you do
NOT have to be a student!
A student run cooperative, of course, works a little differently from the usual co-op - in this case, the
store is primarily run by a group of 12 full-time students called the "core collective" - these students
are the primary owners/operators of the collective.

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

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

From reviews:
"Mother Truckers is impressive! There is a good selection of organic, natural, and/or free-trade
products, including a substantial wine, beer, and sake section; fresh produce; freshly made
sandwiches and snacks; and other products city people like to pretend are available only to them.
They are a very good example of what CAN happen if citizens demand certain quality and are loyal
to the businesses who bring them what they want."
"All of the above and more. It's more than a grocery store, it's a community. I used to work there and
I came to know almost every customer by name, and if not, by sight. It's definitely a humbling
experience going there for the first time and I don't think a place like this exists anywhere else."

Mountain Marketplace stands out for its exceptional selection of organic vegetables and fruit. The
shelves feature much of the usual health store offerings such as vitamins and supplements, but
according to owner Drew Franklin, it's this wide variety of organic veggies and fruits that sets
Mountain Marketplace apart and keeps people coming back. As a testament to its bounty, the store
sets up blue signs for organic produce and yellow signs for conventional and at the time of this
writing there were over thirty signs and only four of them were yellow. During the summer, much of
the organic produce is actually locally-grown.
Aside from fruits and veggies, Mountain Marketplace also offers organic dairy products, including
milk, cheese, and yogurts; and fresh eggs from local farmers.
Hours of operation are 9am to 6pm, Monday through Friday; 10am to 5pm, Saturday; and closed

on espresso while rounding out our selection with amazing single origins and blends, at a variety of

cycles. Without deviating from the things that have contributed to our success over the years, we are
always striving and pursuing new ways towards higher quality and a greater diversity of tastes.

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

use - California almonds and pistachios, or pecans and walnuts - release their natural oils during the
cooking process, giving each butter crunch its own rich color and distinct flavor. Our butter crunch
contains no additives or preservatives of any kind. It's natural by design and meant to be enjoyed
within two weeks of purchase.

roam on pasture and are never fed or supplemented with antibiotics, hormones, animal by-products,
or GMOs.
The Prather Ranch, which is an organic cattle and hay operation located in the shadows of Mount
Shasta, is involved with the shop, but the ranch and the store are actually separate entities. Prather
Ranch is committed to producing the highest quality certified organic beef in the North state. Meat is
vacuum-packed on-site at a USDA-inspected plant. Prather Ranch meat products can also be
purchased online directly through the Prather Ranch website.
The Ferry Building shop is open 7 days a week. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday 10
a.m. to 7 p.m.; Saturday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Prather Ranch Meat Company also operates a grill as part of the Farmer's Market featuring several
of our meats, including buffalo tacos! The hours of the grill are Thursday from 4 to 8 p.m. and
Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. (April to October only).

Sacramento Natural Foods Co-op (SNFC) began as a food buying club in 1972. Interest and
membership grew, and the Co-op incorporated as a consumer-owned cooperative in 1973. In the
Spring of 2000, the Co-op embarked upon a strategic planning process to define its future direction.
With the input of over 2,000 Co-op owners as well as staff and the Board, the Co-op created a
strategic plan that was then approved and adopted by the Board in March 2001.
The purpose of the Sacramento Natural Foods Co-op is to be a trusted source of natural foods and
products and a reliable resource for consumer information. Whenever possible SNFC will sell meat
that is raised on local family farms. Meat products will be sold only when they meet or exceed the
USDA Organic standards for feed and processing. These products must also meet the standards for
humane treatment of animals as they are developed by the Animal Welfare Institute and the
Humane Society of the United States in conjunction with USDA Organic.
Poultry and poultry products must be either cage free or free-range, as well as hormone and
antibiotic-free.
The Co-op is open to the public seven days a week from 7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.

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

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

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

Page 981
california guide: stores
meals made through the joint effort of local farmers and urban chefs and apprentices.
The Farmer's Kitchen will also educate and train community members through nutrition classes and
job training programs. Mothers and caregivers will learn to prepare nutritious meals on a budget
using local produce through SEE-LA's successful "Good Cooking" classes. Job training will give
participants food industry knowledge and skills; in a community with a high unemployment rate, the
job training program will create career opportunities by linking graduates of its program with local
chefs and food experts and by employing participants as apprentices in the Farmer's Kitchen during
their training.
Finally, the Farmer's Kitchen will create an additional venue for farmers to market their goods
directly, thereby helping ensure the economic stability of local farmers. In addition to the weekly
Hollywood Farmers' Market, farmers will benefit from sales of produce and value-added products for
the retail component, for the "Good Cooking" classes, and for the Healthy Market Basket Program.
Drawing on fifteen successful years of the weekly Hollywood Farmers' Market, the Farmer's Kitchen
will be a permanent site for rural-urban exchange and will spur economic development to the benefit
of both the community and local farmers. The Farmer's Kitchen will ultimately be a self-sustaining
and permanent food security solution for Hollywood's population.

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

Would you believe we started out as a small chain of convenience stores? It's true. Way back in
1958. We were called Pronto Markets. In '67, our founder, the original Trader Joe, changed our
name (yes, to Trader Joe's) and the way we do business.
We made the stores bigger (if you can imagine), decked the walls with cedar planks and donned our
crew in cool Hawaiian shirts. Most importantly, we started putting innovative, hard-to-find,
great-tasting foods in the "Trader Joe's" name. That cut our costs and saved you money. Still does.

Whole People - Our people are our company. They are passionate about healthy food and a healthy
planet. They take full advantage of our decentralized, self-directed team culture and create a
respectful workplace where people are treated fairly and are highly motivated to succeed.
Whole Planet - We are committed to helping take care of the world around us, and our active
support of organic farming and sustainable agriculture helps protect our planet. And while we assist
our global neighbors through our Whole Planet Foundation's micro-lending operations, we also step
out the back door of each of our stores to support food banks, sponsor neighborhood events and
donate to local non-profit groups.

Whole Foods - We search for the highest quality, least processed, most flavorful and natural foods
possible because we believe that food in its purest state - unadulterated by artificial additives,
sweeteners, colorings and preservatives - is the best tasting and most nutritious food there is.
Whole People - Our people are our company. They are passionate about healthy food and a healthy
planet. They take full advantage of our decentralized, self-directed team culture and create a
respectful workplace where people are treated fairly and are highly motivated to succeed.
Whole Planet - We are committed to helping take care of the world around us, and our active
support of organic farming and sustainable agriculture helps protect our planet. And while we assist
our global neighbors through our Whole Planet Foundation's micro-lending operations, we also step
out the back door of each of our stores to support food banks, sponsor neighborhood events and
donate to local non-profit groups.

When Dan Zanotto and Troy Tibbils decided in January 2004, to open a grocery store together, the
two had a surprisingly common vision. They both wanted to transform today's grocery shopping
experience by bringing back the community grocery store of yesteryear. A store designed by and for
the customers, where the primary focus is on service and quality, and where the employees know
the customer's name because of the personal service they provide not because of a coupon card.
Zanotto's is open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday; 8 a.m. to 9 pm. on Saturday; and 8

Monterey Fish is based in San Francisco, California. While we are small enough to provide
individual personalized service our sales volume is great enough to allow us to buy in volume
directly from local boats and producers nationwide, enabling us to sell the best quality seafood at
fair prices.
Over the years, we've worked to establish a reputation for quality not just with our customers but
with our network of suppliers. Our suppliers know that if they've got premium product, we're willing to
Page 1077
california guide: wholesale
pay for it. We at Monterey Fish do our best to bring you the freshest, quality seafood available.
Setting the standard for quality and service has been our obsession since 1979.
We follow the strictest guidelines when it comes to seafood handling and expect all our suppliers to
do the same. We welcome periodic inspection by the FDA, State and local Health Services. We are
HACCP compliant, meaning we comply to a strict set of regulations implemented by the Federal
Government to ensure the wholesomeness of seafoods. Monterey fish uses only suppliers, growers,
producers and fishermen who are HACCP compliant and have a detailed HACCP plan on record. As
well, all our shellfish comes from certified waters which are tested by the appropriate state and local
health agencies weekly.
