After many years of hard work, they were able to purchase property on NW 8th Ave. Our father, Benny L. Walker then worked with his parents and continued to grow the furniture business on 8th Ave. In the late 1980’s the third generation of Walker’s joined in the family business and we grew to 4 buildings of over 50,000 total sq ft.

Then in 2008, we opened our new southwest showroom at 3413 SW 47th Ave, and in 2020 we expanded it and consolidated locations to our current size of 43,000 sq. ft.

We could not have done all these improvements if it was not for our great and loyal customers.

“It’s a priority for RE/MAX Professionals to give back to the community in which we live and work,” said Robert Ryczek, Realtor of RE/MAX Professionals “One-hundred percent of the monies raised go toward life-saving treatments, medical equipment and valuable research, and it’s truly humbling to see their impact on our Alachua County friends and neighbors.”

Homebuyers and sellers also are able to participate in the celebration. A RE/MAX Miracle Home or commercial Miracle Property is identifiable by a rider on top of RE/ MAX yard signs. Homebuyers and sellers are also able to show their support by requesting that their home be a Miracle Home. Many homes on remax.com are flagged as a Miracle Home with a CMN Hospitals yellow and red balloon icon.

FROM MEAGER BEGINNINGS IN 2009 WITH ONE PICKUP TRUCK, ONE FREEZER CONTAINING ONE HEAD OF GRASS FED BEEF, & VENDING AT LOCAL NORTH CENTRAL FLORIDA FARMERS MARKETS, THE START UP LOCAL GRASS FED BEEF COMPANY HAS GROWN INTO THE LARGEST INDEPENDENT “ONE STOP SHOP” PRODUCER OF ALL LOCAL SUSTAINABLE PROTEINS. The Florida Fresh Meat Company has grown & blossomed into a thriving family of local sustainable farms recognized as “The Florida Fresh Family of Farms”.

Basic bone broth recipe: Ingredients: to yield approximately 7 Qts. + 3.5 to 4 lbs. Bones + 1 large Onion cut in half + 2 stalks Celery cut up + 2 large Carrots cut up + 2 tumeric roots sliced + 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar with mother

26

City Lifestyle Gainesville | October 2021

“GOOD BROTH RESURRECTS THE DEAD” - SOUTH AMERICAN PROVERB

Add clean farm raised bones to a stock pot, crock pot or pressure cooker. The bones can be from any animal: Beef, Pork, Lamb, Goat, Chicken, venison, fowl, fish etc.

The bones should include marrow and cartilage.

Tendons, chicken feet, pork feet, ears or tail are also excellent to include.

Add 2 Tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to pot and fill up with water-to the point that all bones are submerged, and set at low.

Cooking time is generally for 24 hours, but can be up to 48 hours. Pressure Cooker time should be 4 hours.

I suggest starting with 4 hours cooking time for anyone with a compromised immune system. Cooking time can be increased in increments per batch to work up to cooking for 24 hours to get the body used to it and to check for reactions. The reaction to the glutamate can sometimes be uncomfortable while the body heals and balances.

The broth can be used as a stock for soups and adding vegetables and or meat for added nutrition and palatability.

“Slovenia borders Italy and Croatia, which is to say there are

a lot of shared values in and around food; they have really great cheese, dairy, beef, pasta, but very few tourists, hardly any. So if you love Italy, that kind of specific travel and food experience, particularly Northern Italy, because you can see the Alps from where they are. It’s picture perfect, a beautiful place, and also where orange wine is from.”

Dennis also highly recommends Costa Rica, Hawaii and Finland.

“Most people love the idea of travel, but we tend to pick the same places when we travel, and there is nothing wrong with that, they are amazing for a reason, but when you get off the beaten path a little bit, you learn the difference between vacation and travel.”
