Come in today from 3-4pm for a FREE mini-lesson on Foods for Healthy Digestion and a Q&A with our resident Nutritional Therapist Joey Anderson. Joy was a sous chef at the Esalen Institute, ran her own catering company, then became a Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner to continue her work with food as medicine. Joey also leads our Five Week Food-Based Cleanse, starting this saturday, and our Five Dat Broth Detox, coming soon.

Yes! And we won Silver for Best Food Delivery and Bronze for Best Natural Food Store! Thanks to everyone who voted for us in this year's East Bay Express Best of the East Bay Readers Poll.

But let's focus on our Chicken Liver Pâté for a minute, because it is emblematic of our Traditional Diets philosophy and our commitment to stellar ingredient sourcing. Traditional, pre-industrial societies found value in every part of animal, understanding it was a gift not to be taken for granted, and they understood that organ meats provided the greatest nourishment of all. Whatever your background, if you go back to your grandparents' generation, you will likely find staple foods and delicacies that feature liver, kidney, heart, lung, tripe, tongue, brains and more.

Our Pâté starts with Mary's Organic chicken livers poached in lots Straus pasture-raised butter, blended with caramelized onions, fresh organic parsley and thyme, a few spices and a dash of brandy. It is smooth and rich -- let's call it sumptuous -- lovely on toast or some Cult Crackers, with fresh or pickled vegetables, or part of a charcuterie or cheese platter.

Come by tomorrow 3-4pm for this month's "Nutritionist is In," a free mini-lesson and Q&A with our resident Nutritional Therapist Joey Anderson. Before her studies and certification as a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, Joey was a sous chef at the Esalen Institute and ran her own catering company. She believes deeply in food as medicine, and is dedicated to demystifying the overwhelming and often contradictory information out there to help people discover the foods that work for them to support a healthy gut, detoxify, heal and thrive.

We get a lot of natural light in our kitchen. Some of it is from the big skylights. But in this moment it's from Anke (left) and Maya Bel, decanting and jarring a big batch of sauerkraut from the special Italian stainless steel vats we use during the five weeks of fermentation. Who knew cabbage and salt could give you that kind of glow?

Mother's Day traces back to ancient Greek and Roman pagan celebrations, Christian commemorations in Europe and to the Abolitionist and Suffragette movements in 19th Century America. The campaign for a national holiday, led by Anne Jarvis (daughter of one of those original abolitionists and suffragettes), was driven by her objection that most holidays honored the achievements of men. But when the "mother's day profiteers" (florists, card-makers, chocolatiers) took over the holiday she renounced and actively campaigned to end it.

If you are feeling moved to honor your (or anyone's) mother this weekend, we can offer something a little more substantial than empty calories and ephemeral tchotchkes, including Coracao truffles, our new line of Gathering Time herbal tea blends, and wholesome body care products. And you'll be supporting a small, worker-owned cooperative local business!

We're open Saturday 10-4.

This week's menu is up online -- order anytime for pickup or delivery or comy shop in the store Wednesday-Saturday. Besides almost all organic ingredients prepared according to time-honored traditional techniques, look for real bone broth as a base, regeneratively-certified grassfed beef, grassfed dairy, plenty of produce from local family farms, sprouted and dehydrated nuts, fair trade cocoa and whole-food sweeteners.

His travels landed him in Oakland, where he founded Nomadic Coffee, which carefully sources organic, fair trade raw beans and roasts them locally at the 444 Collective.

When your kitchen staff runs out to see the eclipse, a colander can be your best friend. The round holes became crescent shadows on the pavement as we gathered around to ooh and ahh... We are nothing if not scrappy!
