		Creminelli Salumi – Salt Lake City, Utah The Creminelli family has been producing artisan meat products in Italy as far back as the 1600’s.  From the outset, the goal of Creminelli Fine Meats has been to provide Americans with traditional Italian meat specialties without having to buy a plane ticket. They hope to improve the selection of fine Italian meats in the U.S. and, in doing so, provide exciting new culinary experiences for Americans.  Flavor and texture are their trusted guides and only all natural and organic ingredients are used in their products.  They use heritage, vegetarian-fed meats that are humanely raised without antibiotics.

		Big Ranch Farms- Napa, CA This organic farm, located in Napa, produces and sells organic fruits, vegetables and heirloom tomatoes mostly to Northern California’s farmer’s markets.  By growing top quality, organic produce they help to sustain the farm-to-table restaurants that populate the Napa Valley. As a family owned farm, they are well respected in the local community by their commitment growing seasonal and fresh produce.
		Veritable Vegetables – San Francisco, CA In the early 1970’s, Veritable Vegetables became part of a movement that sought to bring low-cost, nutritious food to neighborhood co-ops and community storefronts. This collective, called The People’s Food System, extended throughout the greater San Francisco Bay Area, and provided a large-scale alternative to the existing corporate food systems.  Veritable Vegetables has been an integral part of change in the sustainable food system movement by stimulating an increased demand for fresh, organic fruits and vegetables, developing certification standards and working to pass food and agriculture legislation. This helped to unify the produce community, and they now supply healthy, fresh foods to communities all over California and beyond.
		Sonoma Organics – Sonoma, CA In 1995, Richard Robinson founded Sonoma Organics with a vision to make organic agriculture more viable in Sonoma County.  In addition to producing vegetables and mushrooms, they feature a select line of artisan cheeses, culinary oils and vinegars. Consistent with the founder’s dreams, they now work with organic farms in and around Sonoma County to get their produce to local markets and work closely with local chefs to provide them with the freshest options available.
		Green Leaf- San Francisco, CA GreenLeaf has been committed to the local, sustainable model of food distribution for decades and long before it became trendy. Over the years, they have also researched and sourced products nationally and globally to find the very best the world has to offer so they can share those products with their customers.  By sourcing globally, they brought to light many of the fruits and vegetables that have now become commonplace on fine dining menus. As a result, menus now feature spring leaf lettuce mix, baby vegetables, and the “toybox series”, a mixed variety of vegetables such as heirloom tomatoes, carrots, beets or sweet chilis.
		Capay Organic – Capay, CA In 1976, the Capay farm was started with 20 acres of Star Thistle and a dream. Inspired by the idea of farming sustainably, Kathy Barsotti and Martin Barnes became pioneers of the organic farming movement. After more than thirty years of organic farming, Capay Organic grows more than 150 varieties of fruits and vegetables on 700 acres of certified organic land. Located 90 miles northeast of San Francisco, the farm is now owned and operated by their children, Noah, Thaddeus and Freeman. In keeping with their parents’ vision, they continue to practice healthy crop rotation, encourage a diverse ecosystem around the fields, make efficient use of local water sources, and carefully select produce varieties that not only grow well but taste great.
		Giusto Organic- San Francisco, CA Established in 1940, Giusto’s Organics is the leading processor and wholesaler of organically grown grains in the western United States. The Giusto’s name has become synonymous with quality among chefs and bakers and their Vita-Grain® is the “Best You Can Bake With,” in terms of performance, flavor and choice.  They have since made their exceptional flours and ingredients available to the domestic baker as well.
		Whole Spice- Napa, CA As a family-owned and operated company, their first concern is the quality and freshness of their spices, herbs, blends and teas. Based locally in Napa, they cater to restaurants, health practitioners, private chefs and the everyday home cook. Their selection ranges from common household staples to rare and exotic varieties.  They guarantee that their herbs and spices have not been treated with chemicals and they do not use MSG.

		Golden Bear Ranch- Lodi, CA Golden Bear Ranch was formed in 2007 for the mere love of farming. As a family owned and operated ranch, they plan to pass down this passion for generations to come.

As an alternative to synthetic sprays, they use nature’s method of beneficial predators such as ladybugs, praying mantis, earthworms and green lacewing bugs to destroy harmful insects such as aphids, tomato hornworms, whiteflies and wireworms.
