As you can imagine, my duties for Mother keep me traveling!  Now I am back on the north coast and spent a few hours at Over the Hill – the Nature’s Serving “Farmette.”  I am pleased to report that they are moving closer to their Farm-to-Trailer goals. “Over the Hill” is an impressive combination of ecological wisdom,  Continue Reading »

It has been two weeks of nonstop movement for Nature’s Serving. The sun has been out and business is picking up, which keeps us in delighted motion on the trailer.  We have added Mondays, at Redwood Curtain Brewing Co., and Tuesdays, at Mad River Brewing Co., to our “regular” route. And we have lots of  Continue Reading »

Things are happening in the Historic Creamery District. It feels like the neighborhood is having a communal spring cleaning. Gone are weeds and piles of stuff, replaced by newly planted flowers and tidy yards.  There are new residents in the district: the Coastal Commission has just moved into the Greenway Building.  Holly Yashi is busy  Continue Reading »

I am pleased to be back in Bayside after a few days in Santa Rosa celebrating our youngest’s Bat Mitzvah (see last week’s newsletter “My kid is all that!” at http://www.naturesserving.com/2013/04/my-kid-is-all-that/).

Have you met Olivia? She is, as the kids say, “all that”! You can often find her helping me on the trailer in the evenings or on the weekends. She has learned to take and deliver orders, assemble platters and program our cash register. She does her homework when the window is slow and is endlessly  Continue Reading »

Passover has come and gone, but the metaphors stay with me. You probably know the story of the Israelites exodus from Egypt which is the center of the Passover holiday. You may not know that the Hebrew word for Egypt is Mitzrayim and that it means “a twice narrow place.” This year as I made my metaphoric  Continue Reading »

This week is the Jewish holiday of Passover (Pesach). I am writing this week from Santa Rosa where I am leading seders with my Rabbi friends at Congregation Shomrei Torah. It is wonderful to be “home for the holidays,” though I am missing my family, the chicks (four weeks old now!), the seedlings which are  Continue Reading »

This is Chris. He is one of the Nature’s Serving: World Food, Fast! early adopters. We met Chris and his girlfriend Kira when we first pulled in at the Arcata Playhouse last September. Chris and I will occasionally exchange a word or two about cooking, how the week has been, his upcoming graduation from HSU  Continue Reading »

Just a short note this week because it is a crazy week for Nature’s Serving. We have to give up our commissary kitchen at Redwood Acres to the Logging Conference so we are a bit discombobulated. Still, Nature’s Serving: World Food, Fast! has two special events we would like you to know about: We will  Continue Reading »

Spring is in the air, and the latest additions to our family are learning to do their part…slug eradication. These two adorable little puff balls and 18 of their sisters have four more weeks to grow and learn, and then it is out to the fields to work! From the safety of their chicken tractor  Continue Reading »
