Whither Sterntaler Bakery stollen?
Has anyone seen Sterntaler Bakery stollen in the stores yet this year? I normally would have booked my orders via their web site, but they have apparently pared back (again) and are only doing order for businesses and retailers (no more private orders). And there's no list of retailers on their web site, I believe I have seen it past years at Drager's. Anyone else seen those stollen boxes? (their stollen is amazing which makes it a shame if it can no longer be found)
Berkeley's "Community-Supported Kitchen," Three Stone Hearth
I have been a semi-regular TSH customer over the last year - Been very satisfied with the food itself. Yes, it is pricy, but it's all nutritionally dense and all the ingredient labels note where they come from wherever possible (at least the main ingredients), and the vast majority of it is within 100 miles. And I actually like the fact the food comes in glass jars; it's more recyclable than most of the plastic packaging that's out there now.
With the price tag, it's not for everyone (wish it was). FYI - The bread in most cases is supplied by Grindstone Bakery up in the North Bay - their breads are yeast-free so it's dense.
Holding Ranch - grassfed beef from Lafayette
Hate to respond to a old post; but the land in Lafayette has been sold, and the ranch has moved up to Northern Siskiyou county (near Monteque where Prather Ranch is based.) where they have almost 10 times the space and are expanding into pasture raised lamb and pork. They are still attending most of their traditional East Bay farmers markets, while expanding to (as of a couple of weeks ago) San Mateo's Farmers Market on Saturdays (where I catch them, just got some port chops and ground beef earlier today, and am considering a quarter bulk order)
Great quality and taste for those on the peninsula that don't want to drive all the way to Ferry Plaza for their pastured meats.
Strauss Eggnog at the Cowgirl Creamery Stand, FB
I know Whole Foods in Redwood City carries it (stands out with the rest of the eggnog selection as it's the only one in glass bottles). :)
Natural Food Deli's/Cafe's in RWC/SC/BEL area?
I know this may be a odd question, then again perhaps not these days. I have been living in the Redwood Shores area for almost 4 years now, and normally I just commute back and forth to Redwood City proper most days with the occasional trip to San Jose and San Francisco. It recently dawned on me that perhaps there may be more options to dine, etc in places closer to home, say San Carlos and Belmont, rather than have to drive to Whole Foods in RWC and San Mateo or Mollie Stones. (I do frequent the local Nob Hill in a pinch)
I am looking for local shops/cafe's that supply/serve natural foods/meats, etc.; I am hoping there are more options west of El Camino. (which I have never ventured into and could be just a jungle for all I know) ;)
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
