Campaign launch

Hucks Hollow Farm Homemade Goods will celebrate the launch of its Kickstarter campaign from 5:30 - 8:oo p.m. on March 13 at Tesss Kitchen Store in Grass Valley. to donate to the campaign, visit kickstarter.com on or after March 13 and search for Hucks Hollow Farm Homemade Goods.

When Penn Valley resident Theresa Huck and her husband Jim adopted their son in 2001, the new parents faced an immediate challenge.

Josh, who was placed with the family out of foster care just before his fourth birthday, has six severe anaphylactic food allergies, including allergies to peanuts and soy.

Hes so deathly allergic, he cant even have a microscopic speck of cross-contaminated anything, Huck said.

Huck was having a hard time finding information about ingredients from food labels. She began calling food manufacturers, but wasnt getting the results she needed.

What I found was that the companies themselves didnt know and no one could find an answer, Huck said.

So she took matters into her own kitchen. By modifying recipes she could find scouring the Internet, consulting with her mother, who had worked as a caterer, and relying on help from her next door neighbor, she began creating homemade snacks things like crackers, cookies and chocolate that fit Joshs dietary needs. When she shared those snacks with family and friends, she received positive feedback.

Eventually people said, you should sell this, this is amazing, Huck said.

And she did. Beginning in August 2013, Huck, 45, began operating Hucks Hollow Farm Homemade Goods. The organic food company sells spice blends, baking mixes and artisan crackers as well as pasteurized eggs online, at the Nevada City farmers market and in several local stores.

Organic food is seeing a revival with sales up 1.4million a week amid evidence of nutrition benefits and the launch of budget ranges in discount stores.

The market is bouncing back from a disastrous downturn in the wake of the financial crisis and cost of living squeeze that forced families to cut back their food budgets.

Total sales in 2014 exceeded 1.86billion, taking them back up the level last seen in 2009.

Families are buying more organic food, particularly dairy produce, despite the fact that they have made big cut backs on conventionally produced food, according to a study by the Soil Association.

Cupertino business: OG Sliders is all about food, family and details

Posted: at 10:50 pm


without comments

By Kristi Myllenbeck, Correspondnet

The owners of OG Sliders restaurant in Cupertino may not be "original gangsters," but they are doing something that, to them, is all their own.

"The OG stands for organic gourmet," said chef Mike Jenkins, the culinary mastermind and co-owner of the restaurant. "We enjoy good, healthy organic food."

Jenkins had the idea for the restaurant when was tasked with a project while pursuing his bachelor's degree in culinary management.

"It was something that needed to be trendy, for a food truck. I thought, 'What about doing sliders?'--something quick, something organic but really giving the sliders a different twist," he said.

On that basis, Jenkins, his wife Danni and co-owner John Chan formed the idea for OG Sliders, which opened in August at the Oaks Shopping Center near Bluelight Cinema.

In addition to using organic ingredients, OG Sliders makes a point to use locally sourced vegetables, meat and spirits. Even the decor comes from surrounding areas. The restaurant is a rustic blend of stained glass, doodled-on chalkboard paint, handcrafted tables and the aroma of wood-grilled meat. Some of the tables were salvaged from wood used in the old UC-Berkeley football stadium. Sharp-eyed patrons can still see the numbers used on the bleacher seats.

Whereas Mike had culinary ideas, Danni had a vision and made most of the decorating decisions. As a team, they decided to stay true to their roots and decorate with locally sourced products.

"I thought that was the natural thing to do," Danni said. "If everything in the food is centered around local, it only made sense to decorate accordingly. It goes hand in hand."

Though the interior looks polished and high-end, Mike is adamant that they welcome anyone and everyone to a location that was once used as a banquet room.

Province moves to regulate the definition of ‘organic’ food

Posted: at 10:50 pm

Any farmer can call themselves organic, says Judi Morton. The public doesnt understand that it means nothing.

Morton has grown organic produce and raised organic meat at Tulaberry Farm in the Slocan Valley for the past 20 years.

The BC Ministry of Agriculture is drafting legislation that would require anyone selling products as organic to be certified by a provincially or nationally accredited certifier.

One of those certifiers is Kootenay Organic Growers, of which Morton is a board member and past president. She is also on the board of the Certified Organic Associations of BC. She welcomes the proposed change, as does Jocelyn Carver, the marketing manager at the Kootenay Co-op.

Because organic food is priced higher, Carver says, there is obviously a strong profit motive for a business to use the word organic misleadingly in order to charge more. We have seen this happen with a number of products over the years, actively advocated against it, and called attention to misleading labeling where we are able.

I think it is an important vote for honesty and transparency in advertising, a quality sorely missing in North America, she said.

Jesse Woodward, who runs the Baker Street and Cottonwood markets for the West Kootenay EcoSociety, echoes those opinions and adds, I have talked to a farmer in the valley who is certified organic and worked incredibly hard and spent a fair amount of money getting that done and they feel strongly that because they have done all that work they should be able to truly use the word certified organic.

But I have also heard through the grapevine that some other smaller farmers are feeling hard done by, because they either cannot afford the process of certification or are not willing to go through it, but have what would be considered an organic farm. But like sustainable or green these terms get thrown around, and no one knows what they mean. I think it is a good move to have some rules around it.

What does getting certified involve?

Farmers have to apply to a local certifying organization which, in turn, hires a highly trained independent inspector certified by the International Organic Inspectors Association.

Organic Food, Coonskin Caps and Hula Hoops

Posted: at 2:51 pm


without comments

If you weren't alive in the 1950s, you may not be familiar with the Davy Crockett coonskin hat, a $100 million fad touched off by a Walt Disney television series. Like millions of other eight-year-old wanna-be frontiersmen, I wore onefor a while. A short while. This fad flamed out quickly.

Soon we had all moved on to other things, like hula hoops. They were a fad of a different sort, a fad that became something more than a fad.

Fads are short-lived; hula hoops remained popular for decades. Even if you weren't alive in 1958, when hula hoops were first twirled, you probably know about them. They almost disappeared but were reborn. Although not exactly the rage today, they're still around.

And then there's another fad of the '50s, rock music. Rock and roll, as it was originally called, didn't flame or fade, like piano wrecking or panty raids, and it didn't merely hang on, like hula hoops. It evolved and changed and grew. It made the leap from passing fad to something big and broad and permanent. Rock in all its many forms, from rockabilly to rap metal, from proto-punk to post-Britpop, keeps rocking along.

Having examined a variety of fad types, you might wonder about organic food, food produced without synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. Where in this taxonomy of fads does it fit?

In the 1960s and 1970s organic food had the makings of a fad that would flame out, never to be heard from again. Many saw it as a hippie affectation that would go away when the hippies grew up and got jobs.

Time proved that notion wrong; a coonskin cap it was not. Nor was it a hula hoop exactly; it never enjoyed a spectacular moment in the spotlight, as hula hoops did, when everyone seems to be "doing it."

Instead, organic food may be making the leap rock and roll once made, to something big and long lasting.

Today's organic devotees aren't hippies; they're mainstream Americans. And they no longer have to patronize specialty stories; every supermarket offers organic produce and organic packaged products. There's little chance that future generations will view organic food the way we view, say, goldfish swallowing, as a quaint quirk of a moment in time long past.

In 2012 sales of organic food reached $28.4 billion (http://tiny.cc/), more than 4% of total food sales, and projected to reach $35 billion last year. By one estimate organic-food sales are growing a heady 14% a year (http://tiny.cc/).
