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
become our gift to the neighborhood.

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. That is why we handcraft our tea
cookies with all natural organic ingredients. Our flour is unbleached and made from a premium blend
of organic hard red wheat. Our butter is European Style Organic Sweet Cream Butter with over 85%
butterfat, made in a 1950's small batch butter churn. Our sugar is organic pure cane sugar - no beet
sugar here. 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

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, goy 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

Morell's Bread is a small artisan 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.
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 that 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.

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

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?
Page 28
california guide: bakers
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 ds 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…”

have become a daily sellout with flavors like apricot, white chocolate, ginger or double chocolate,
espresso, hazelnut.
By 10:30 AM we usually have the remaining breads arrive by the hundreds (we make up to 900

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.
For more information about rates and reservations, visit the Brewery Gulch Inn's website.

We are a small working CSA (community supported agriculture) farm that produces vegetables,
herbs, apples, olives and eggs for local farmers markets. This is an authentic farm stay. While the
farmhouse is a new building constructed fifteen years ago, the Kaiser family, your host, has been on
the land for over 50 years. Set in the peace and quiet of the country, you will hear nothing but frogs
at night, and birds awakening you in the morning.

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.

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.

of fostering earth-friendly, sustainable living. Our non-profit corporation has formed this
collaboration to develop a beautiful 5 acre farm as our learning laboratory.

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.

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

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

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

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.

harvest at the beginning of the season. We pack baskets of vegetables for them once a week from
mid-May until Thanksgiving.
The CSA also provides part of the backdrop for Hidden Villa's Environmental Education Programs

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 tomats 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

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.

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

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

the herd of goats grew, until they were milking 20 goats and found themselves running a dairy. In
2005, Jeff Poulos, a high school science teacher, joined the family. Jeff has since retired from
teaching and together they now milk 250 goats and sell all of their milk to their neighbors at
Redwood Hill Creamery, who make award-winning cheese, yogurt and kefir. Ellen and Jeff plan to
create their own line of Alma de Luna Animal Welfare Approved goat cheeses.
Ellen and Jeff say they chose to become Animal Welfare Approved to “show people that animals
can be well taken care of and be profitable.” Alma de Luna Dairy's Alpine, Nubian and La Mancha
goats stay on the farm up to ten years producing milk. AWA certification, Ellen says, “shows the
maintenance and care we give the animals.”
The economics of farming continues to be difficult—staying in business with the high cost of feed is
Alma de Luna's greatest challenge. But Ellen dsn't regret getting those first four goats. “It's a good
life, and we get to live in this beautiful place,” she says.
We run this small operation ourselves and raise Br goats for meat and show, chickens, vegetables
and fruits as naturally as possible.
We sell at the Amador Farmers Markets (Jackson and Pine Grove)and at the and the West Point
Farmers Market. This lets us concentrate our farm time on the farming and we can concentrate on
the needs of our customers at the markets. Please contact us for more information. We also sell
naturally raised goat meat for feeding your pets a raw diet.

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
Sierra Nevada, just outside of Yosemite National Park. Fresh grasses and the occasional alfalfa
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.
American Valley Growers is a large market garden located in Quincy Ca. We are blessed fertile
valley soil, and exceptionally clean water. Musclin mix and garlic are what we do best. Our market
focus is the Reno Nevada area. We are Certified Natural Grown.

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

Belle Farms is a small family run farm located in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Our
100% estate grown, Santa Cruz County Extra Virgin Olive Oil is produced from a blend of Tuscan
olives that are hand-picked, cold pressed and unfiltered.
Our first vineyard planting was in 1997, and we currently have six acres of vineyards under
production. We grow three varietals that are well suited to the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains:
Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc and cool-climate Syrah grapes. These varietals thrive in the
consistently warm daytime, cooler temperatures at night, a touch of fog, and the well drained,
slightly rocky soil. We have sold our grapes to several wineries locally and in the greater bay area
with much success!
We are a family owned and run ranch in the foothills of northern California. Since our family bought
this ranch in the 1960's, we have transitioned from a conventional farming operation to a natural
sustainable ranching operation. As we have made this transition, the products that the ranch can
produce grew and changed. We are proud to offer our products to the public, because we have
tested each of them, and know that they are of the very best quality.

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.
Our picking season typically begins around the end of September and lasts through the month of
October.
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.

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 ds 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.
Cecchini and Cecchini, RBC Orwood, Inc. has been serving quality and excellence since 1932. We
farm on over 2,000 acres of delta valley rich soil. Since we are surrounded by water and levys we
Page 189

created our own irrigation system using water from the rivers.
Our main crops include FIELD CORN, which is grown on about 800 acres. Most of our field corn is
grown for livestock feed and ethanol. Phil O'Connell Grain is the buyer of our grain crops. We have
about 650 acres of ALFALFA. We cut, rake, bale and roadside our own alfalfa and Associated Feed
markets our hay crop. 700 acres of our land are used to grow ASPARAGUS. Our asparagus is
distributed to US markets and exported to foreign markets by Jacobs, Malcolm, and Burtt. We also
direct sell some of our asparagus in local farmers' markets and directly out of our packing shed. We
have 40 acres of vineyards, where we currently are growing 5 different varieties of GRAPES! All of
our grapes are wine grapes.
The Center for Urban Agriculture at Fairview Gardens is a California non-profit organization
established in 1997 to preserve and operate the historic farm where our products are grown.
On our twelve and a half acres, we produce one hundred different fruits and vegetables, as well as
free-range eggs from our heritage hens. We also nourish the community in less tangible ways
through festivals, workshops, tours, lectures, cooking and gardening classes, internships, and
outreach and consutation to schools and communities nationwide.
The bulk of our food is sold at the farm's produce stand, at area farmers' markets, and to members
of our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) harvest share program. The farm also wholesales a
limited amount of produce to restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles, and sells at farmers'
markets in those cities.
For over 75 years Chaffin Family Orchards has been producing products naturally and marketing
them directly from the farm. This is food that tastes as it should; fruits are picked daily and never
placed in cold storage, animals live in healthy, natural environments on clean pastures producing
exceptional, grass fed, beef, lamb, goat (chevon), poultry and eggs.
Our unique location allows us to produce orchard fruits year around. Our heritage and heirloom
varieties of stone fruits and citrus have been selected for taste and sweetness.
Our animals are kept on clean grass pastures. In addition to pasture, our poultry receives certified
organic feeds. The livestock and poultry work together to help us manage the orchards, providing
natural land clearing, pest control and fertilization.
This symbiosis allows us to improve the land and add to it while raising crops and livestock that
Page 190

improve health. Our attention to detail and refusal to cut corners is the reason people have enjoyed
Chaffin Products for so many years.
THE FARMSTAND IS OPEN 365 DAYS A YEAR DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS. ORDERS CAN

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.

which are used in many old-world recipes such as nocino and vin de noix.

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

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

George and Gale Cunningham moved with their family to the beautiful DeLuz Canyon, north of
Fallbrook, in 1974. They set out to become farmers. Not being farm-savvy enough to grow with
conventional methods of farming (using chemicals and pesticides), they decided to grow organically.
It was their personal endeavor at the time, and remains so today, to grow the best-tasting, most
nutritious food available anywhere and it's all natural. In the beginning, finding a market for organic
produce was difficult. “All this great food and we didn't know where to sell it,” explains George.
“Packing houses and supermarkets did not want to deal with small farmers, but we kept planting
acres of new and different products that we though would be valuable to consumers.” Then in the
early 1980s, farmers' markets eased into San Diego County areas. Certified Farmers' Markets
highlight California-grown produce from local farmers and became the perfect outlet for Cunningham
Organic Farm to reach food-lovers in the area. COF products can found at the Old Town Temecula
Farmers' Market on Saturday mornings that is managed by Gale Cunningham. In the late 1980s
COF connected with distributors for their products: Earl's Organics of San Francisco and Organically
Grown Co. and New Seasons Produce of Portland, Oregon. COF has been shipping weekly to
these fine companies ever since. More recently, with the rise of the local food movement, COF has
been connected with Crows Pass Farm. Crows Pass delivers COF's fruit to chefs in San Diego
restaurants, so George is confident that his food is finally reaching the people who appreciate it
most!
We produce a wide range of products including: alfalfa, hay, wheat, corn, melons, sunflower seeds,
bell peppers and a variety of vegetables on 9,000 acres of land. We use conventional and
sustainable production practices including IPM and No Till or Minimum Till.
U-Pick Cherries: Bing, Utah Giant, Sweet Anne, Rainier (White), Van and more. Unique European

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.

When Drew and Myra Goodman came to California's Carmel Valley in 1984, they were determined
Page 206
california guide: farmers
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.

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

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
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.

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

Full Belly Farm is a 200-acre certified organic farm located in the beautiful Capay Valley of Northern

Page 222
california guide: farmers
The farm owners are Andrew Brait, Paul Muller, Judith Redmond, and Dru Rivers. With help from
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
cows.
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 Hs Down Harvest
Festival.
The Hs 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.
Full Circle Farm is an 11-acre sustainable, educational farm nestled in the heart of Silicon Valley.

is now managed cooperatively by a new group of food and agricultural enthusiasts, who are also
UCD alumni. We offer a CSA to approximately 20 members. We also raise free-range chickens for
eggs, various animals for meat, a steer in training to be an ox, and goats for fun. In addition to the
CSA we also supply small, specialty orders for local restaurants. Frequently we have students
visiting the farm and visitors are always welcome. We like to save our own seeds and keep bees.
Full Table Farm is a very small husband and wife run farm just south of Yountville. While we are not
currently a certified organic farm, which we may try to become down the road, we take great pride in
how little we do to our garden in spite of all the hard work we put in. We allow beneficial weeds to
grow to attract beneficial insects or conserve water. We avoid spraying any pesticides or herbicides,
instead we spend time in the garden getting rid of unwanted weeds or pest by hand.
Our objective is met every time a customer's needs are satisfied with our unique product. We are
proud to say that all our lines, organic, range, and traditional are all raised without the use of
antibiotics, animal byproducts and hormones. Another trait that sets us apart from our competition is
the freshness of our product. Product will leave our docks within 48 hours of the process date. This
characteristic is noticed in the taste and texture, both greatly promoted by the freshness.
We the employees of Fulton Valley Farms will ensure and protect sustainability here forth through
ongoing traceability and responsibility through, and not limited to; Hatch date to market age, planted
corn to feed conversion, water availability to consumption and treatment for pasters, electrical intake
to above industry standards, contract growers economic needs to theirs and their childrens futures
and so forth regardless if the generations future is related to our business or not.

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.

There are 20 acres of certified organic fruit orchards at Glen Ivy. Over 1,400 trees yield a year-round
abundance of peaches, walnuts, citrus and avocados, to name just a few. Careful stewardship
creates a healthy, vibrant food supply and a sense of care for the land that is tangible.
Glen Ivy has a community wide recycling program and we compost much of our kitchen waste and
landscaping trimmings. These materials are returned to the land to enrich the soil, which is the base
for everything that grows here.
Our commitment to care for our planet includes two solar panel arrays, making us the largest private
solar energy source in Riverside County.
The goats eat what comes naturally: green, leafy hay and a mix of crushed grains. The hillside
provides them with wild flora - untouched by chemicals - to browse. Their milk is harvested and
turned into this magical solid substance ten months out of the year. In classic peasant style we rest

Check out our website for a full list of cheeses that we offer.

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.

Green Gulch Farm is a five-acre agricultural oasis located on the Green Gulch Zen Center in Muir
Beach. Since all the farmhands are practicing Buddhists, a typical day here starts with the crew
gathering at 5am to meditate. After breakfast and a short break, they're off to the fields by 8:30 and
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, potats, 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

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.

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.
We are a small family farm based in Watsonville, specializing in organic vegetables and specialty
cut flowers.
Raises heritage, premium scotch highland beef and sells it at Berkeley Farmers Markets. Is also
beginning a meat CSA, with deliveries every two weeks.

HOLDING RANCH offers beef that is wholly raised on grass, never receiving any supplements,
antibiotics, corn or other feeds that are unnatural to ruminant animals. For 12 years, Holding Ranch
cattle were raised in the LaMorinda Hills as well as in Danville using rotational grazing practices
designed to optimize the health of the native grasslands using natural methods. We handle our
animals humanely, using techniques developed by leading animal behavior experts.
The beef is processed and inspected by the USDA at a small, family-owned plant. It is dry-aged for
approximately 30 days, then cut, wrapped and frozen. Holding Ranch uses its portable freezer
facility to transport the beef directly to farmers markets in Walnut Creek, Moraga, Orinda, Montclair,

Animal Welfare Approved Beef. Call or email for information on purchasing. Look for the
"Homegrown Meats" label.
Jl Mendenhall of Mendenhall Cattle Company raises Animal Welfare Approved beef cattle on the
oak-lined meadows of Palomar Mountain in southern California. As Jl explains, “The choice to eat
grassfed beef is a choice to improve the welfare of the animals; decrease air, land and water
pollution; aid family ranchers in their quest to provide a better product; and feed your family a
superior, delicious and more nutritious food.”
The herd of Black Angus/Hereford cross cattle have been specifically bred, and are perfectly suited
to the mountain landscape. After about a year of reaching mature weight, the cows are moved to the
family-owned finishing ranch where they graze on even more native, natural, and organic grasses.
They are never given hormones, unnecessary antibiotics, or corn-based feed.
Mendenhall Cattle Company's products (including grassfed beef hot dogs) can be purchased at the
farm's own butcher shop, Homegrown Meats, in La Jolla, California. For more information about
these products and the benefits of grassfed beef, visit the website at: www.homegrownmeats.com.
Our commitment to the organic produce industry began in 1998 as a single devotion to exclusively
grow and market certified organic produce. We are family farmers who take pride in our farms and
believe in returning what the soil abundantly provides, offering to you only what we trust to our own
families. That requires a continual, uncompromising commitment to safe food and a quality
expectation that is second to none. We are founded on a pledge of stewardship to properly care for
the land that we farm and the produce we grow for your enjoyment.
The Homeless Garden Project, founded in 1990, provides training and transitional employment-
within a community supported organic garden enterprise- to homeless and formerly homeless
people in Santa Cruz County.

hulsman@psln.com
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 "a 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.

Humboldt Grassfed Beef produces cattle on the North coast of California. The long feed growing
season of this area provides us with the unique opportunity to raise high quality grassfed beef and
supply our markets with a fresh product on a weekly basis all year round. Our cattle are selected for
traits such as temperament, confirmation, and disease immunity. We raise them using a strict quality
assurance program without antibiotics, synthetic hormones, or other feed additives commonly used
in the commercial cattle feeding industry.
Humboldt Grassfed Beef sells meat primarily to restaurants and retail outlets. Although, customers
are welcome to purchase a whole or ½ carcass straight from the farm. Meat is available
year-round and it is requested that interested customers call at least thirty days ahead of time to
place an order. Customers are responsible for arranging the processing of the meat into cuts.

Steve and Marci Jacobs, along with their twin sons and daughter, raise Animal Welfare Approved
registered Angus and Angus cross cattle in Healdsburg, CA. Both Steve and Marci have been in
agriculture most of their lives and are graduates from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. It was a natural fit
for them to start their own farm with their family's old line lineage of beef cattle that has been in the
family for generations.
In 2000, the Jacobs began with only five or six cows and they've grown slowly over the years to be
what J Brand Cattle is today. The Jacobs are proud that they let their business grow slowly and
naturally. They are very careful about managing their growth to keep up with retailer demands.
Steve says, “It's really growing into a viable business.”
Something that drew the Jacobs to raising natural grassfed beef is the idea of having control over
the animal from birth to death and taking care of the animal in the best way possible. Steve really
takes a lot of satisfaction in having his own bulls,calves, and replacement heifers. Steve says, “We
do everything we can to give our cattle the best life possible and we see the results. We're really
proud to be a sustainable ranch that dsn't breed the heifers until they're 24 months.”
On applying for AWA certification, Steve says, “When I read AWA's guidelines it was an easy
decision for us to apply. AWA's philosophy is how I to do everything anyway… AWA is very animal
oriented, but also common sense farming oriented as well. It's a good marriage between the two.”
Steve and Marci are also active in giving back to the community. Marci is former president and is
still very involved with the Healdsburg Future Farmers County Fair. Steve is on the board of the
directors for the California Cattlemen's Association (Sonoma Marin Chapter), while Marci is on the
board of directors for the California Cattlewomen's Association (Sonoma Marin Chapter).
In their spare time, the Jacobs enjoy horses and skiing. Of course, most of their time is spent with
their three children. Steve said, “It's really rewarding to work on the ranch with our kids. I can see
as our family grows that the ranch will always be something we can come back to as a family, to
farm and ranch together.”
We invite you and your family to come and enjoy a unique experience. Our family has been growing
produce in the area since 1978. When you visit with us, you can pick a variety of fruit for only 45¢

picking equipment and boxes are provided for your use free of charge! Admission and all attractions
are free! It is important to us that all the guests who visit our farm have an enjoyable time. We work

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.

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

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 tomats 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.
John's Natural Products provides local consumers with high quality grass fed beef raised on our
second-generation family owned and operated ranch in the Gold Country of Northern California.
Our cattle graze on well tended pastures scattered with native oak trees and are never confined to
crowded and unsanitary feed yards. They live peaceful and natural lives. We tend them with
humane, low stress methods to insure that their health and nutrition are the best.
Our beef eat only grass with occasional small amounts of hay. They are not fed grain, antibiotics,
hormones or other growth stimulants. When you taste our delicious, tender, and juicy USDA
inspected beef, you can be assured that you and your family are receiving the best nutrition and
healthiest food available.
We finish our beef on natural spring grasses, only haravesting one time per year. This maximizes
the grass fed benefits.

The farm is located on 30 acres adjacent to the Laguna de Santa Rosa, northern California's largest
freshwater marsh. Using sustainable farming methods that protect soil resources and water quality,
we help to preserve our adjoining wetlands, as well as the larger community.
Our method of growing stewards the earth as a living system and connects us with nature.
Community support connects us with each other. We feel that living and practicing agriculture based
on this interconnectedness can lay the foundation for physical, cultural, intellectual and spiritual
growth.

The Lazy 69 Ranch is a family owned and operated ranch located in Northern California where the
Sierras meet the Cascade Range, between Mt. Lassen and Mt. Shasta, less than an hour east of
Redding, CA.
We take an organic, environmentally responsible approach to raising natural, grass-fed beef without
the use of hormones, antibiotics or additives.
Our cattle thrive on native pastures and fresh spring water in a humane, stress free environment.
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
with limited freezer space, we offer a convenient tenth beef pack (40 lbs).

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

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.

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

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 J 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
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

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

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 gs 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

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.

acid and protein structure of goat milk is different than cow milk, making it very easy to digest. That's
why many people who are lactose intolerant can drink goat milk. It contains only trace amounts of
the cow milk protein that some people are allergic to. Meyenberg Goat Milk contains no

When Mike and Janis Tremper bought their undeveloped rural property on the Central Coast of
California, four wild burrows lived in the canyon where the ranch sits that no one would claim. While
they labored to put up fencing for their horses, one jack (a male burrow) in particular would harass
their mares to no end until it was decided that something had to be done. With the help of some
neighbors, they corralled the burrows with the intention of taking them into the auction. But there
were only three. The troublesome jack was never seen again. While the episode has sparked a lot
of theories since then, it also gave them a name—Missing Jack Ranch was born.
Aside from their horses, Janis and Mike raise Animal Welfare Approved Angus beef cattle which
they have bred with Australian Angus bloodlines to finish well on the native and naturalized grasses
of Missing Jack Ranch. With support from their adult children and interested grandchildren, Janis
and Mike are proud to run a “mom and pop” business and have transformed the property which
once lacked any infrastructure, into a functioning ranch. They are proud that Missing Jack Ranch
Page 270

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

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,
they were pioneer grower-retailers, which means they propagate the plants themselves and sell
directly to the public instead of to wholesalers.

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.

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.
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, 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.
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.

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

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

100% grassfed Animal Welfare Approved cattle in Loyalton, CA in the largest high altitude valley in
the U.S. And now that most of Arnold and Chris Potter's children are grown and living away from
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.
We're happy to introduce you to our growing family of certified organic dairy products and
supernatural frozen yogurt mixes.
A healthy family is a happy family. We don't want to feed our kids junk, or yours either. We offer our

Quetzal Farm (pronounced ket-sall) produces organic vegetables and fruit on seventeen acres in
Santa Rosa and Occidental, California. Quetzal specializes in dry farmed tomats, 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
tomats 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.

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

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

Sierra Azul Nursery and Gardens is located in the Pajaro Valley, at the edge of Watsonville,
adjacent to the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Our winter weather is mild and summer is
tempered by frequent fogs from Monterey Bay. The Pajaro Valley is known for its favorable
agricultural and horticultural climate and is home to many nurseries and farms.
We grow most of the plants we sell. We specialize in plants from the five Mediterranean climate
zones in the world. Manzanita, Ceanothus, sage, flowering currant, toyon, and iris are some of the
native plants that we feature. Other Mediterranean plants that grow very well in local gardens are:
rockrose, sunrose, rosemary, lavender cotton, lavender, and thyme. Several shrubs originate in
Chile. We grow many proteaceous shrubs from Australia and South Africa: grevilleas, banksias,
proteas, leucadendrons, and pincushions as well as other unusual treasures. A wide variety of
sages are available throughout the year and we have many grass-like plants.
In addition to a retail sales area, our nursery features two acres of demonstration gardens. This
garden allows customers to see plants as they look full-sized in a garden setting. In keeping with our
philosophy of water conserving plantings, we water only monthly during the summer months.
Our demonstration garden is a favorite place for our customers to walk through and enjoy. People
come for ideas and inspiration for their own gardens. Landscapers bring their clients. Homeowners
come to see what a particular plant looks like mature, and to follow the seasonal progression of the
garden. Artists come to paint, bird watchers for the birds, teachers bring classes, families come for
picnics, and beleaguered workers come for mental health breaks. We hope our gardens will inspire
gardeners and turn homeowners into garden enthusiasts.
Since 1996, the Sierra Foothill Conservancy has been managing thousands of acres of land in
California's Mariposa, Madera and Fresno counties in order to protect and preserve foothill
ecosystems and open space. Like many conservation land managers and researchers, Sierra
Foothill Conservancy has found that anywhere non-native grasses thrive, grazing is essential for
preserving vernal pools, native wildflowers, small vertebrates such as kangaroo rats and lizards, and
invertebrates such as bugs and butterflies. In order to take advantage of these benefits, for many
years, the Conservancy invited ranchers to graze cattle on its preserves as an important part of its
stewardship of the land it owns and manages.
In 2010, the Conservancy established its own grassfed beef operation, Sierra Lands Beef, managed
Page 307
california guide: farmers
by Logan Page and Billy Freeman. The two man operation utilizes rotational grazing and efficient
water management to encourage the growth of natural grasses and health of the lands they
manage. Animal Welfare Approved certification confirms that they are raising cattle with high-welfare
and sustainable practices for the benefit of their animals, the earth and their customers. Sierra
Lands' grassfed and grass-finished beef is available in the Fresno, Prather, North Fork, Oakhurst,
and Mariposa communities direct from the farm, and orders can be placed through the website. Visit

both fertilize the fields as well as retain winter moisture and runoff. They have also created over two
miles of hedgerows and riparian habitat on their farm. In order to stabilize the creek banks and
eliminate soil erosion, they have planted over ten acres of native upland oak forest. Efforts to restore

Sierra Valley Farms is a 65-acre certified organic farm and native plant nursery situated on the
Middle Fork of the Feather River in the majestic Sierra Valley. The farm, located at 5,000 feet
elevation, in Beckwourth California, has one of the most unique growing climates in the West. Sierra
Valley Farms was first established as a native plant nursery in 1990 and broadened its diversity to
growing certified organic produce in 1999.
The family farm is owned and operated by Gary and Kim Romano, and their son Jy. 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 by way of Farmers' Markets in the Reno/Tah
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 gs back three generations in Sierra Valley
and hosts corrals with many years of composted manures and organic matter. The Romanos utilize
Page 308
california guide: farmers
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 farm.

Sonoma County Poultry was founded in 1992 by Jim Reichardt, a fourth generation duck farmer, in
response to chefs' demands for a larger, meatier, more flavorful duck. Our “Liberty Ducks” are a
strain of Pekin Duck that was developed in Denmark and is suited to a slower, less stressful style of
rearing. This results in a market age of about 9 weeks as opposed to six weeks for other
commercially grown birds.
Sonoma County has the perfect climate for raising ducks in this style. Our temperate climate allows
us to raise Liberty Ducks year-round, 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 largely of
corn and other grains. The combination of all these factors result in the best, most flavorful duck
available in the country today.
In addition to supplying the finer Bay Area Restaurants with their fresh duck needs, Sonoma County
Poultry ships Liberty Ducks directly to restaurants and individuals across the United States. In the
western US shipping is accomplished economically by using UPS Ground services. Further east we
must use UPS Next Day Air Saver service at a higher cost.

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

Star Route Farms has been an organic farm in Marin County since 1974. We began on five acres
using horse-drawn sulky plows and cultivators and a lot of long haired ambition. As pioneers in the
then fledgling organic industry we adopted production and post-harvest technologies--such as
precision planters and hydrocooling equipment--in order to insure top quality produce for the
consumer. Star Route Farms is the oldest continuously certified organic grower in California. The
farm is presently certified by Marin Organic Certified Agriculture (MOCA).

for a small farm's community and provides supporting members with fresh and unique produce to

http://www.tolumafarms.com
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.
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.

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

Wise Acre Farm is located in Arbuckle, California, about 40 miles northwest of Sacramento.
Mary Fahey, Wise Acre Farm's owner, is an accomplished graphic designer, gourd artist and a
grower of fresh market produce and gourds. It may sound like a strange combination of activities,
but it all works together.
Mary Fahey started Wise Acre Farm in 1997 when she purchased her first acreage in Arbuckle, CA.
Although she had no prior background in farming, Mary had always kept an extensive vegetable
garden as well as a variety of pets. Wise Acre Farm began as a small market garden and CSA and
has now grown to over 20 acres producing a variety of fruits and vegetables, almonds and Animal
Welfare Approved pastured eggs.
Mary believes strongly that the health of the land is the key to a healthy farming system and so she
farms with biodiversity and balance in mind. Mary has planted several of her acres in native plants
for habitat, erosion control and water quality improvements and is in the process of renovating her
hen's pastures to include native grass species and will be installing cross-fencing to incorporate a
rotational grazing system for the livestock and hens.
“Animal welfare has always been important to me and I strive to provide the healthiest and most
natural lifestyle possible for my animals. It is also important to me that people know and understand
where their food comes from. The AWA label and website give consumers clear resources to make
educated food choices.”
Wise Acre Farm's AWA eggs are available at the Wise Acre Farm Stand in Arbuckle Saturdays and
Sundays 10 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. all year, by delivery within Arbuckle on Sundays and at the Arbuckle
Certified Farmers Market which runs Wednesday evenings, June - August in downtown Arbuckle.
Mary also grows hard-shell gourds and creates gourd artwork that can be found at The Artery
gallery in Davis, California. Visit www.theartery.net for more information.

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 tomats 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.

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 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
using recycled and biodegradable styrofoam, which ensures that your product arrives to you in
perfect shape with minimal effect on the environment.
We are just as committed to our local community as we are to the environment; through our
donation program, we have assisted local food banks and charitable nonprofit organizations.
The Copeland Family has been ranching in Siskiyou County, California since the 1870's. In all that

We sell USDA goat meat that is raised all naturally on high mountain grasses and naturally grown
hays. We do not, as a rule, grain our goats, and they are fat and slick. We do use all natural alfalfa
pellets for our milk goats. In addition to goat, we also sell naturally grown Mediterranean Lamb, and
100% grass-fed beef and all-natural bison. We also supply a fine line of all natural raw pet foods
through our country chef gourmet pet food store.
All orders are placed online only. We ship our USDA meats coast to coast. We do not sell anything

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?

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

We have roasted supreme organic coffees since 1994 which are certified by CCOF under USDA
regulations. We are also one of the first roasters in North America to be certified by the Fair Trade
movement and to work with farms that have been certified by the Rainforest Alliance. Our dedication
to the production of socially and environmentally sustainable coffees and to offering only the highest
quality to our customers is something that we take great pride in.
We work directly with small family farms, seeking out heirloom and forgotten fruits, hoping to revive
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.
Our products are also available from select retailers. Variety varies by outlet.

While wondering what she'd be when she grew up, Christine Drr 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.

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

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

San Diego's premiere and premium local Green-Fed Beef CSA. Customers can purchase either
Page 486
california guide: online shopping
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.
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.

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

Pummelo, Oro Blanco grapefruit, kumquats, Sanguinelli oranges, pomegranates, persimmons and
figs.
We are proud and prudent stewards of the land, using sustainable farming practices, farming without
pesticides or chemicals. Our fruit is grown naturally, never stored, treated on or off the tree. The
fruit is all premium quality, carefully inspected but not size graded. Every bag or box of fruit is hand
packed. We are conscientious caretakers of the land and appreciate the bounties harvested.
Using fruit raised on our farm, citrus inspired family recipes were developed, creating value added
gourmet products that are available year round.
We feel it is important to shop locally and to get to know your farmers. We take pride in being local
providers, and benefit greatly by being local consumers of the abundance of PlacerGROWN
commodities. Sustainable agriculture is a necessary element of the quality of our life.
All Artisan Products are available year round at select stores and at local Farmers' Markets.

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.
Our picking season typically begins around the end of September and lasts through the month of
October.
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.

of our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) harvest share program. The farm also wholesales a
limited amount of produce to restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles, and sells at farmers'
markets in those cities.

Food for Thought (FFT) was organized by a group of concerned parents, educators and growers
who first came together in the spring of 2002 to improve the nutritional status and food awareness of
children in the Ojai Unified School District (OUSD).
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 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

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'
Page 515

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
Page 540
california guide: organizations
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.

CUESA is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting a sustainable food system through the
operation of the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market and its educational programs. CUESA was organized
in 1994 to educate urban consumers and to create links between urban dwellers and the farmers
who practice sustainable agriculture in the Bay Area.
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
choose healthy food and help them understand the impact of their choices on their health, the health
of their communities, and the planet.
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.

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

The Livermore Valley has long been a premiere wine region. Beginning in the 19th 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.

Respect for the earth and compassion for all living things shape my personal philosophy and inspire
the cuisine I create.
My culinary training is the sum total of direct experience in a variety of kitchens and restaurants over
the last 24 years. I use only sustainable meats and fish available locally. I have extensive
knowledge of vegan and vegetarian cuisine as well as a wide range of ethnic foods and fusions. I
am also very adaptable to special needs and diets, including living foods, macrobiotic, etc.
With organic, local and seasonal ingredients as the focus, I approach cooking with a balance of
positive intention and playful ingenuity. I am able to practice my food activism every day, from visits
to the farmers market to support local organic farms, to serving delicious healthful cuisine to clients
who sincerely care about personal and global health; we are all part of the change that needs to
happen in this world.
Clean Plate is a fresh concept in organic, progressive meal delivery and catering services developed
by organic personal chef, CC Consalvo. Clean Plate offers clients another choice in conscious,
well-balanced eating. Menus using only high quality ingredients, naturally gluten-free, dairy-free and
sugar free for once or twice weekly drop off. All the ingredients for the meals are purchased locally,
seasonally and organically whenever possible. Clean Plate also uses wild caught sea foods and free
range, hormone-free meats in the preparation of the dishes. Cleanplate supports sustainable
farming and farm to table practices. Our belief is that one should eat local, seasonal and organic
whenever possible. In essence, eating consciously from a clean plate.
Napa Valley cuisine reflects a deep appreciation for nature and the seasons, and paired with

Highlighting the best each season has to offer, our fine ingredients come mostly from local small
family farms, who provide us with everything from fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs to artisanal
cheeses, wine vinegars and olive oils. We use organic milk, and cream from local dairies, as well as
sustainable free-range chicken, beef and lamb from nearby ranches. The menus are paired with
wines from Napa Valley and beyond.
Convivial classes are taught by Julie and special guest chefs. Afterward, the cooking class becomes
a special culinary keepsake, as you use your new found expertise to prepare memorable meals for
family and friends. We invite you to join us and savor a fresh taste of the Napa Valley.

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.

When farmer Guido Frosini began farming at Conlan Ranches - land that has been in his family
since 1867 - he established True Grass Farms with the goal of growing the healthiest, highest
quality foods possible, while maintaining the highest standards of land stewardship and animal
welfare.
Located in Valley Ford, California, True Grass Farms raises AWA-certified Black Angus cattle and
California Kobe cattle, a Japanese breed renowned for their flavor and tenderness. They also
currently hold the distinction of having the largest organic full-blood Wagyu cattle herd in California.
The farm's pastures are also home to AWA-certified American Guinea and Blackworth hogs.
True Grass Farms' commitment to maintaining healthy and diverse grassland is founded on a
process of rotational grazing that involves the stewardship of the pasture as an entire ecosystem.
This approach mimics the effect wild grazing animals have as they move across the land, which in
turn results in more grass, wildflowers, songbirds and insects. Guido explains that the wide variety of
grasses that the animals graze has a great impact on the flavor and quality of their beef and pork
products.
Another important focus at True Grass Farms is their interaction with their customers. “We believe
that education and open communication between consumers and producers is vital to a healthier
food system,” explains Guido. “Not only do we offer local and sustainable products at various
Bay-area farmers' markets, but we are also the people selling our products at the booth. We always
encourage our customers to ask us questions about our products - and their feedback is always
welcome.”
True Grass Farms also offer a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), where customers can
subscribe to receive a regular monthly supply of fresh meat. Frequent farm tours and luncheons also
provide a way for local customers to get more involved with the day-to-day activities on the farm. For
more information visit http://truegrassfarms.com/.
Our family farm has been selling fresh eggs directly to customers since 1953. Our ranch is a 100%
cage free environment. Vegetarian fed Cage free white Eggs, all sizes, and Certified Organic
(CCOF) brown eggs, XL and LL.

Pizza fans and wine aficionados alike visit A16 in San Francisco's Marina neighborhood with similar
intentions: to enjoy the flavors of Italy's soulful south. Our restaurant shares a name with the
highway that runs from Naples to Canosa, Puglia. True to our namesake, we gather our inspiration
from southern Italy, particularly Campania, the region surrounding Naples. Chef/owner Nate
Appleman oversees the menu, which features fresh pasta, house-butchered and house-cured meats
and authentic Neapolitan pizza. The best Italian food has always been made with what's available
locally. We take that tradition to heart and change our menus frequently depending on what our
network of farmers and purveyors have available. Complementing the rustic menu, Wine
Director/owner Shelley Lindgren selects wines that highlight the indigenous grapes from Campania
and nearby regions. We also celebrate local farmers and purveyors by partnering with organizations

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

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
gs. 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.
And now that you've found us online, you can buy them from anywhere in the world and enjoy them
at your place any time. We hope they'll have your friends and family lining up for more.
Enjoy!

utilize healthy ingredients produced in a sustainable environment. We provide a simple premium
quality menu that appeals to health conscious diners, vegetarians, salad lovers and diners simply

Our beef comes from one farm, grown by a small company where the animals are well treated and
never spend time in a corporate "feed-lot". Their diet consists of tall green grass from beautiful
Kansas prairie land. This is what nature intended cows to eat and nothing more. No hormones, no
antibiotics, no grain, no corn, just beautiful green grass. These conditions produce a beef that is
delicious and far better for you than conventionally grown beef.
The future at Burger Lounge is bright and forward thinking. As a fast growing restaurant start-up, we
represent a new take on an industry that has long suffered from poor quality over processed food
products and inadequate guest service.
Our business model represents the bridge between bloated corporate "fast food" culture and the

murals house organic, homemade, Mexican dishes, made to order, and with a salsa bar to cater to
the most traditional or adventurous palette. Chef and owner, Jorge Saldana, can add farmer to his
list of titles.
Saldana Farms grows many of the organic and fresh ingredients used in each dish prepared.
Cancun is proud to use organic ingredients for both the natural flavor of organic cooking creates and
the health benefits it provides. Cancun serves only dishes made with love and appreciation for flavor
and nourishment and a passion for cooking.
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, potats, onions,
carrots, corn, cilantro, garlic, tomats, 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!”

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.
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.

Our food is made with the best ingredients we can find in our area: cultivated plants grown from
heirloom seeds; wild-harvested leaves, flowers, barks and roots; local fish, seaweeds and coastal
grasses; pastured meat, poultry and eggs from small farmers. These are the flavors of place. The
process of finding ingredients and transforming them into cuisine are not separate events, but one
continuous action, constantly informed by cultural expectations and new ideas. We brine, cure and
smoke, as cooks have been doing for thousands of years, but we also embrace modern cooking
techniques. Our dishes are animated by flavors and textures both familiar and strange—Northern
Californian cuisine as it appears to us.
Cole Coffee excels in a simple cup of coffee done right. Cole Coffee, formerly Royal Coffee Cafe
and Retail Store was acquired by the cafe and store manager of the last 15 years. Although the
name has changed, we still continue to offer the same fresh roasted beans and expert service that
has made our coffee a daily staple for many in our community. Years of experience and devotion to
the coffee business gave the new owner Michael Murphy the expertise to continue the Royal Coffee
legacy.
Everything served at Comforts is made on-site using the best quality ingredients. We source
produce and meats locally and use all organic as much as possible. Our menu changes regularly to
reflect what is fresh and in season. Our beef comes from Prather Ranch - raised in Northern
California, untreated and without hormones, this natural, organic, and sustainably raised beef has
the reputation for being the most tender and best tasting beef around. From our juicy burgers to
braised short ribs and ragouts available in our take out case, you'll be able to taste the difference for
yourselves! We buy only organic Fulton Valley Farms and Petaluma Poultry's Rocky Range Chicken
for all our entrees and salads, including the Chinese Chicken Salad.

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
Page 639
california guide: restaurants
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, J,
Page 644
california guide: restaurants
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 gs 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 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 home cooked 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.

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

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.

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.

For more than 25 years, Lalime's has been serving up some of California's best cuisine and has
gained a reputation for combining classic and innovative dishes engineered from organic, locally
procured ingredients. We at Lalime's try to be an all organic and ecologically sound restaurant. Our
vegetables and fruits are either from the local farmers markets or delivered to us by small local
gardeners. 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 and Jody Ogden, and Michael and 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

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. Years later, the restaurant is still rooted in the same community traditions. Just about
everything that gs 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.

Situated in the congenial East Bay neighborhood of Rockridge in the Market Hall, at the foot of the
Oakland hills, Oliveto Cafe and Restaurant has a twofold identity: as a familiar Cafe (downstairs) --
hub of a busy neighborhood -- which serves informal foods and is open all day, every day; and as a
fine dining Restaurant (upstairs) known internationally for its traditional Italian dishes made from
local, seasonal products with the clarity of a great kitchen driven by respect for traditional cooking
methods, continuing search for remarkable ingredients, and passion for intensity of flavors.

In 1993, One Market Restaurant's debut was one of the most eagerly anticipated events in San
Francisco. Since then, One Market has become the standard for sophisticated dining in the city. The
Page 706
california guide: restaurants
current incarnation features the Michelin Star winning farm-to-table food of Chef Mark Dommen,
who ably follows in the footsteps of One Market's celebrated founding chef and principal, Bradley
Ogden. The restaurant features an open exhibition kitchen with a special "Chef's Table," an
wood-fired grill, private dining rooms, and a luxurious bar. Add a top-notch staff and there's little
wonder why One Market has been a preferred destination for dining from the opening 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 11:30AM-2PM, and dinner Monday through Saturday
from 5:30PM-9PM.

sweetness of fresh vegetables for our soups and a wide variety of exotic herbs and spices for our

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.

As chefs we are extremely honored to have as our medium these amazing products we call food

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.

Picante is an expression of love for Mexico. A celebration of real Mexican cuisine, not of those

of fresh Mexican cheeses. Love also explains everything from the naturally raised meats we grill,
simmer and stew for some of our dished, to the Mexican folk art we sleuth out for our walls. Now,
the traditional food at Picante may not be coming from a gradnmother's kitchen somewhere in
Mexico. But, judging from the reactions we get, it's pretty close.

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
our lives with. We buy whole animals from ranchers we know and trust: We buy organic flour, milled
in Oakland by people who bring their children to Pizzaiolo for dinner. We change the menu every
day to reflect the offerings of these remarkable local food purveyors in their freshest most beautiful

Ranchos was opened with the traditional spirit of the "Ranchos" of Mexico.

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

Ravens' Restaurant is the vegetarian restaurant located at the Stanford Inn by the Sea. We feature
the best in vegetarian and vegan cuisine. We recognize that most of our guests are not vegetarians
and have been challenged to produce satisfying and delicious meals for those often suspicious of
vegetarian dishes. In order to accomplish this, we have assembled chefs from throughout the United
States in a co-creative, cooperative kitchen in which we work together with the common goal to
nourish and satisfy, while reducing our impact on the environment. All of us are committed to
preparing 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 are 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.

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.

Way back in 1970, four college students opened the doors to a small "hippie joint" which took its
name from a spin on the word for the unloved turnip, the rutabaga. In the beginning serving only

consumer tastes over the years into today's full service health conscious restaurant.
In addition to its many vegetarian dishes, Ruta's also offers white breast of chicken, turkey, tuna and
assorted lean deli meats. All our unique salad dressings as well as our mayonnaise, sour cream and
milk are low in fat content. As usual our fresh fruits and vegetables are of the highest quality

without sacrificing taste. We strive to make your experience positive, and hope you'll enjoy our
unique food, casual atmosphere, and friendly servers.

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 gs 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.

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 dsn'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
tuna is line caught from the Pacific.

Organic Mexican-style food. Casual dining. Seating can be a bit cramped. Free delivery with 25+

quality has been variable. Restaurant started around 2008 by the man behind Pacifica Farmer's
Market.
Mon-Sun 6AM-9PM.
The Green Temple restaurant sprouted from the aspiration, an idea of the lifestyle that can save the
world. It is based on our cultivation of caring for the space that we occupy. Care to create and
sustain the beauty of the surroundings, care for the food that we prepare, care for people who come
to spend time with us, and above all, care for each other. It is not perfect, but it is constantly growing
towards compassion and beauty. When you come to visit us, we hope you will kindly forgive us for
imperfections you may encounter and allow yourself to be open to the harmonious atmosphere we
strive to create.
Our food and our environment are both given the utmost attention in the form of incredients as well
as our labor. We work with local farmers to bring you seasonal produce and we shop at Whole
Foods and Trader J's for quality products. We are striving to bring you organic produce and
ingredients when available. All of our lettuce, grains, legumes, soy products, nuts and spices are
organic. The rest depends on season and availability. We bake in glass and use filtered water for
cooking. Our to go containers are either corn based or recycled. We are looking to employ
alternative sources of energy for our work. We are devoted to quality and beauty and strive to serve
plates that reflect not only care for our work but also our care for each other.

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 "living 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
remains wholesome and nutritious.

partnership with SMIP Ranch, a seventeen-acre farm located a few miles west of Woodside in the
Santa Cruz Mountains. At the farm, organic produce is being cultivated from select heirloom seeds
and harvested expressly for use at the restaurant. The farm is a natural extension of the chefs
approaches to cooking. They choose items of only the finest quality to create a menu that reflects

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
Page 788
california guide: restaurants
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 ds 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…”

Trelio Restaurant is locally owned and operated by Sommelier Chris Shackelford and Chef Mike
Shackelford. Located in the heart of California's San Joaquin Valley, every opportunity is taken to
utilize only local products and purveyors. Most of the produce is purchased at Fresno's Vineyard
Farmers Market and other local organic farmers such as T and D Willey Farms and Il Giardino
Organico. All other ingredients are purchased through a local distributor, The Chef's Helper, and by
shopping at local markets instead of using large delivery truck operations. Meats are sourced from
local ranchers and meat markets hand picked by the Chef and purchasing team. The wine list is
comprised completely of small production "garagiste" wineries and through small niche brokers
instead of large wholesalers. The cuisine style is "Regional American" where not only are the dishes
designed around local ingredients, but also taking into consideration the local culture. The very
quality and diversity of small farmers' is a daily inspiration; enough to give credit on the menu where
credit is due.
When it comes to flavor, can you ever really improve upon the perfect taste of a sun-ripened tomato
picked fresh from the vine?
At True Food Kitchen, we celebrate simplicity. We practice sustainability. We believe that simple,

menu is packed with nutritious, good-for-you vegetables, whole grain and proteins, we never
sacrifice flavor. You may not notice the difference. But it's there.

Andronico's is a family-owned, San Francisco Bay Area based group of innovative, premium grocery
markets.
Nearly 45 years ago, Andy and Katie Skikos settled with their 5 children in Sonoma County, and
opened a small fruit stand on the outskirts of Sebastopol. Along with his wife, his brothers and their
families, Andy worked day and night seeking the freshest fruits and vegetables possible. By 1969,
Andy bought his first Peterbilt to initiate his humble foray into what is now a booming trucking
division. As Sebastopol matured as a town, Andy's kept up with the growing demands of the
community by continuously expanding its small retail store.
Evolving into the most prominent open-air produce market in northern California, Andy and his
family have upheld their integrity and commitment to quality that locals and tourists alike have come
to expect from this unique agricultural region. In addition to premium fruits and vegetables, Andy's
offers organically grown produce, a packaged bulk food and grocery section, all natural health and
beauty products, and a wide variety of local Sonoma County wines and gourmet specialty foods.

Baron's Meat & Poultry offers a full line of high-quality, all-natural and and organic meats, including:
beef, veal, pork, lamb, rabbit, buffalo, chicken, turkey, goose, and duck. In addition, Baron's
provides handpicked hams, bacon, hot dogs, and exclusive house made sausages and Black
Dragon Marinated Tri-tip. Baron's Meat & Poultry is dedicated to providing meat that is the highest
quality, best flavor, adheres to the strictest levels of safety, and has been raised humanely with little
impact to the environment. To the USDA, natural meat is meat that has not added hormones and
has been minimally produced. Yet the label "all-natural" is becoming more common in the meat
industry, often as a marketing tool. To Baron's Meat & Poultry all-natural means no hormones, no
antibiotics, human-grade vegetarian feed (no meat byproducts, feathers, textile scraps, or any other
additives humans would not eat themselves), humane handling, pasture-raised when possible with
minimal impact to the land, and organic feed when possible.

We now feel that we are able to do both by carrying only organic. Our meat departments feature all
natural meats including Niman Ranch Pork, Atkins Ranch Lamb, Country Natural Beef, Eel River
Organic Grassfed Beef, Estancia (grass fed) Beef, Mary's Organic Chicken, Heidi‘s Hens Organic

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

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

Their new market would carry the region's finest natural foods and other products, from prepared

cheese from pure, natural, organic milk, and Cowgirl Creamery was born. All Cowgirl Creamery
cheeses are still made at the barn in Point Reyes Station.
These days, the cheesemaking is under the direction of Maureen Cunnie and her hard-working
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.

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 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 home cooked 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.

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

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

Joshua Tree Health Foods is here to provide you with the finest quality fresh, natural, organic and

clean environment.
We work directly with small family farms, seeking out heirloom and forgotten fruits, hoping to revive
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.
Page 874
california guide: stores
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.
Our products are also available from select retailers. Variety varies by outlet.

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.
Montecito Natural Foods carries a limited amount of frozen chicken, as well as turkey and beef
burger patties. All meat is raised naturally, without hormones or antibiotics. Fresh dairy products

Mountain Marketplace stands out for its exceptional selection of organic vegetables and fruit. The

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

Mr. Espresso continues to be family-owned and operated with two generations of Di Ruoccos

Along with the new generation and keeping with the pace of change in our industry, the old world

now our goal. Our coffee now has a distinctively Italian American profile, maintaining the emphasis
on espresso while rounding out our selection with amazing single origins and blends, at a variety of
roasts.
We have seen many trends come and go, and to our knowledge, things have a tendency to work in
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.

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.

"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 gs 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,
Page 944

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 Ts 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 are available for sale at Tom and Pete's farm

Back in 1980, Whole Foods started out with one small store in Austin, Texas. Today, we're the
world's leader in natural and organic foods, with more than 270 stores in North America and the
United Kingdom.
Who are we? Well, we seek out the finest natural and organic foods available, maintain the strictest
quality standards in the industry, and have an unshakeable commitment to sustainable agriculture.
Around here, we often talk about our mission in terms of Whole Foods - Whole People - Whole
Planet. Basically, we think these elements all play a huge role in our success.
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.

Wholesome Choice is a market offering prized ingredients from distant lands, and superior quality in
every product. The finest in choice cuts of meats - including Halal and Kosher - to the freshest
seafood, an authentic hearthstone bakery, delectable pastries, confections, an amazing abundance
of fresh produce, extravagant array of wines and spirits - all at unbelievably low prices.
Where can you find authentic Italian Gelato, imported Hebrew beer, fresh grape leaves, Cymbidium
orchids and Turkish take-out all under one roof? This is an amazing International market of epic
proportions…the magnificent food court is the heart and soul of the store, which is no less than a
pageant of the finest in ethnic cuisine, without rival. Take out or dine in, it is your pleasure. This is
the reason Wholesome Choice is now recognized as the premier shopping and eating destination in
Orange County, with two locations to serve you in Irvine and Anaheim Hills, California.

market with traditional and conventional grocery items - as well as presenting to the customer an
extravaganza Food Court… featuring the diverse and exotic cuisines of the world…all under one
roof. Wholesome Choice Foods was launched, and an Orange County cultural shopping and dining
experience created…
Middle Eastern cultural heritage is evident throughout the store, but most predominately in the
bakery, where Wholesome Choice's signature bread - Sangak is legendary, and in extraordinarily
high demand. Sangak is the beloved flatbread, and treasure of Persian culture and it is absolutely
delicious - a unique flavor that is unforgettable… This four foot, sourdough flatbread, is served
straight from the hearthstone oven - warm and tender with a rustic, smoky flavor that is
unmistakable and soul satisfying. It is easy to understand why customers cheerfully wait in line for
our Sangak…

Over the years, we've worked to establish a reputation for quality not just with our customers but

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.
