Ancient
Organics Peter Malakoff and Gilda Madrigal began to make Ghee about six years ago while they were studying to become practitioners of Ayurveda. Within the ancient tradition of Ayurveda, ghee is used so widely and praised so highly that they just had to make it for themselves. Over time, after discovering the exquisite quality of their local Straus Butter and getting requests from friends for more of their product, they began Ancient Organics to offer ghee to the public. In accord with the ancient tradition of India, they only make their ghee on the full or waxing moons. Ancient Organics Ghee has been rated #1 nationwide on an independent website. It is sold in local northern California stores and shipped worldwide.

Leigh Trombley Tragically, too many Americans are resorting to a diet of high-fat, high-sugar, low-nutrition processed foods for the majority of their meals. Perhaps a SAD, (Standard American Diet) diet is making you ill. Perhaps you want to become more proactive with your families diet before you are affected with dis-ease. I can help! My experience as a Nutrition Consultant, as well as my French culinary education can help you and your family experience the joy of eating. I recognize that good things come from gathering around the dinner table. A relaxed eating experience with great conversation strengthens relationships, creates fun and lowers stress levels that have built up over a long day. I hope that by bringing you this holistic chef service, I will help individuals and families improve their quality of life and make dinner a time the whole family looks forward to each day. I am an advocate for SLO food: Sustainable, Local and Organic. I support Marin County organic farmers; Produce that has been grown close to home, and is in season, has the most nutritional value and tastes the best. I am a supporting business member of Marin Organic, and shop at Marin County farmers markets. As a way of giving back to the earth, I gather all of my compost and donate it to my local community garden. I am fortunate to have found what I enjoy doing. My work gives me the ability to express myself creatively, while nourishing and supporting my community. I love it!

Local Flora Find Eco-Friendly Flowers at Local Flora in San Anselmo, a sustainable florist and eclectic nursery that believes in “acting globally by buying locally.” Local Flora offers flowers from California farmers and nursery product from Bay Area growers. Buying locally ensures an excellent seasonal selection year-round, and supports farmers from the fields of Bolinas and Carlsbad to Half Moon Bay. By buying local, we help reduce the negative environmental impact of importing flowers. Local Flora was created by Silke Vom Bauer to pay homage to the West Marin landscape. The interior look of the store along with her unique floral designs celebrate Marin’s farmland vernacular. The store interior was built without any new lumber, but by using local recycled barn wood, antique furniture and reclaimed corrugated roofing material helped create our weathered look. Organic Flowers are an important part of the selection at Local Flora, along with vegetables seedlings from Cow Track Ranch in Nicasio and a rich palette of cut flowers from Star Route Farms in Bolinas. Local Flora is a full service “green” florist offering services for your event, home, or business. They even deliver in Marin County via bio-diesel.
