from the editor

Farm to Everywhere Part of the charm of Humboldt is its rural landscape of farms and ranches, not to mention their bounty. Our county was doing farm-to-table before it was cool, partly because our tables are never very far from the farm. In this issue, we’ll introduce you to some folks for whom local sourcing and starting from scratch come naturally. Take, for example, Rhonda Weidenbeck, founder of Beck’s Bakery and the subject of this season’s Profile. She took her love of cooking and started a business that bakes up still-life-worthy artisanal loaves using grains grown right here in our county. Then there’s Jacob Pressey, who grows much of the ingredients for his Humboldt Regeneration brewery. (Bring a growler. Or two.) We’ll take you down to Ferndale’s beef-centric Ridgetop Café, owned by boss-lady ranchers who raise cattle in nearby pastures. (The burger may ruin you forever.) You’ll also get a taste of locally made cheese at Folie Douce, where wood fired pizzas and cheesecakes feature chevre from the adorable goats at award-winning Cypress Grove, whose creamery is just a stroll away. All this gorgeous produce may spark your desire to cook for yourself, or at least nibble some fresh fruit and vegetables. If that’s the case, you’ll want to check the list of area farm stands and peruse Take it With You for a selection of Humboldt-produced salts and seasonings. In Just Browsing, everything old is new again. Pop into a paper goods shop turning out lovely prints and stationery using a vintage press and a furniture maker who gives new life to reclaimed wood and other materials. And it wouldn’t be a trip to Humboldt without tipping your head back to view our tallest local product, our trees. Lace up your boots and dress in layers for this season’s Adventure: a hiking tour of ancient conifers that will take you back in time. Not that redwoods are our only trees, as you’ll discover in Perfect Trips. Surprise! We’ve got some beautiful maples, too, including the world’s tallest. Who knew? You’ll also visit Bigfoot’s woodland hangouts and find out where you can sample the fruits of our apple orchards. So enjoy the abundance of Humboldt’s late summer and fall. It’s a bumper crop. — Jennifer Fumiko Cahill

rest on cooling racks like hens in a coop. The back door is propped open to let the breeze in as three people work at a wooden slab table dusted in flour. With one eye on the clock, the bakers knead and form dough. “Deli rolls come out in five minutes!” someone shouts. “You guys are rocking it!” Rhonda Wiedenbeck calls from her adjoining office, where calendars and charts hang from the wall and the chaos is organized. It’s her fifth year as founding owner of Beck’s Bakery and her business is beginning to hum in earnest. “It’s like I had a baby five years ago,” she explains breathlessly. When Eureka’s prominent Vellutini Baking Company recently closed up shop, it was a game changer for Beck’s. Wiedenbeck took on several former Vellutini accounts and bought a few pieces of their equipment. Overnight, business at Beck’s doubled. Wiedenbeck and her staff deftly developed and tested new recipes and went from baking three days a week to six. Wiedenbeck slides big cooling racks around like tiles in a thumb puzzle, explaining that fitting the new equipment in to her kitchen at Arcata’s Foodworks Culinary Center, a facility that pro-

vides space for local niche foods manufacturing, is a challenge. Wiedenbeck and her staff are learning how to be more efficient in what they do, and getting creative to make it work. “It’s the way it’s been in this business,” she says. “I had to learn to say yes and figure out how to do it after the fact.” Figuring it out on the fly is a thread woven through Wiedenbeck’s story. In 1992, newly divorced and stifled by her life in the midwest, Wiedenbeck set out to find a new home in the Pacific Northwest. On her search, she took a wrong turn and wound up in Arcata. Twice. She pulled over, had a burrito at Hey Juan’s, was hit up for spare change for the first time in her life and said to Seed herself, “This is it!” Three months later, Wiedenbeck borrowed her dad’s pick up truck and headed back to Humboldt with everything she owned in a pull-behind trailer. She got a job right away, and — the first in her family to go to college — started classes at Humboldt State, eventually earning a Biology degree. It took her a few years Moroccan Millet to zero in on what she

Insider17-3 pg 18-21 PROFILE.indd 22

wanted to do next. “Every job I had I kept on trying to feed people,” she laughs. She had a dinnersto-go catering service for a while, cooking out of her house for friends. During that endeavor, she would first decide what kind of bread to make and build the meal around it. “It was the writing on the wall,” she reckons. So she signed up for a small business development course, took a series of artisan baking classes at the San Francisco Baking Institute, worked at established local bakeries like Ramone’s and Brio, and cooked her way through recipe books. But Wiedenbeck’s bakery vision really came into sharp focus when a friend dropped by her kitchen and left a bag of local grains to try. “I ate that bread and was blown away,” she says. Wiedenbeck knew immediately local grains were what she wanted for her bakery. The bag had an address on it, so she wrote a letter to the farmer. A week later, John LaBoyteaux from Camp Grant Ranch in Southern Humboldt called. Over the phone, they hatched a plan for LaBoyteaux to grow the grain for her bakery. These days, Beck’s works closely with several small Northern California farmers. Wiedenbeck says she’s walked their fields, knows their families and their dogs. Together they’re committed

to growing the local grain economy — producing great tasting grains that grow well in our climate and putting them to use — whether it be in stone milled, whole grain artisanal baked goods or the handcrafted spirits produced by her grain partners over at Alchemy Distillery. In the storage room at Foodworks, Wiedenbeck wrenches open a 50-gallon drum of hard red wheat from Hollis Farms and runs her hands through the grain. She pulls out a palm full of the tight, hard berries and admits, “My secret mission in life is to turn everybody into whole grain eaters.” All of Beck’s products incorporate local whole grain wheat, stone ground in-house. It’s what makes Beck’s unique. Even the white stuff is comprised of at least 8 percent whole grain. Wiedenbeck says it makes a noticeable difference in the flavor of the final product. Plus, it’s better for you. Wiedenbeck’s relationship with food and land goes deep. She grew up in Racine, Wisconsin, surrounded by soy, corn and tobacco farms. At 12 years old, she worked on a farm picking suckers off of tobacco plants and spent summers gardening with her dad. He taught her how to grow her own food and shared the satisfaction of getting dirt under her fingernails. He was also an avid forager. She says he would come at her with a hand-

ful of wild asparagus and say, "Here, I’ll show you where it is.” Even now, Weidenbeck heads out into local beaches, forests and fields to harvest seaweed, mushrooms and nettles. If her dad instilled a love of nature and plants, Wiedenbeck says her mom was the culinary influence. “I was always in the kitchen with my mom. It was the early incarnation of this process for me.” Weidenbeck says cooking and sharing food she’s made or grown herself is wonderfully soul-fulfilling. “It’s about building community on the micro level at your dinner table,” she says. You can find Beck’s goodies at the Arcata, Fortuna and Willow Creek farmers markets. A listing of retailers and restaurants from Humboldt to Sausalito is at www.becksbakery.com. You’ll also find the weekly baking schedule, recipes to try, information about the Beck’s Bread Club and more about the people and philosophy behind the bakery. Beck’s welcomes visitors to the kitchen, as well. “We’ll say hi if we’re not too busy,” Wiedenbeck says. “Or you can just aldergrove stick your head in and smell.”

Sixty-five million years ago the Earth changed dramatically when a giant asteroid struck. A mass extinction ensued with dinosaurs disappearing as the planet warmed. Before the asteroid, conifers, like dinosaurs, ruled. Almost unimaginable forests of cone-bearing trees decorated the Earth with as many as 20,000 species, including nine different redwoods. With the global warming that followed, mammals replaced dinosaurs and flowering plants did mostly the same to conifers. However, Humboldt County remains, in some ways, as it was in the Jurassic period. While the large dinosaurs are gone (we still have rattlesnakes), the conifers are not. Along the coast, redwoods rule, taking advantage of a perennial cool, moist, foggy climate in the summer,

torrential rains in the winter and a temperate year-round growing season. Northern Humboldt averages upward of 80 inches of rain, making it a true temperate rainforest. Southern Humboldt averages less but still nurtures monstrous trees along the banks of steep-walled river canyons of the Eel and Van Duzen. Farther inland, behind the Redwood Curtain, it is too warm and dry in the summer for redwoods. Instead one finds North America’s most valuable lumber tree — the Douglas fir — in the mixed conifer forests of the inland river country. As the Klamath Mountains rise, Humboldt even offers subalpine environments with hanging lakes decorated by true firs and hemlocks. The diversity of Humboldt County never ceases to amaze and the following three hikes are just a sampling.

Southern Humboldt

GRIZZLY CREEK REDWOOD STATE PARK Getting There: Approximately 35 miles southeast of Eureka, drive past Swimmers Delight on State Route 36 and watch for a parking area on the left just past a bridge over the Van Duzen River. The short 1-mile Owen Cheatham loop is easy and family friendly. What to watch for: Along the beautiful Van Duzen River, a small bench of old-growth redwoods has been fertilized over the centuries by river deposits. The soils are rich and the trees are tall. Watch for Ewoks — the speeder chase on the moon of Endor, in Return of the Jedi was filmed here. Also, the Humboldt County Oﬃce of Education and California State Parks have developed a family activity called a Quest for the hike. Brochures are at the kiosk and www.redwood-edventures.org. Redwoods might just be the grandest species in the plant world — from top to bottom they are the epitome of grandeur. The tallest redwood is 379 feet (and still growing), while one of the most massive redwoods is a mere 320 feet but has a basal diameter of nearly 26 feet. Those are some impressive beings. The Owen Cheatham Redwood Grove is a great place to visit these giants and its larger-than-life landscape is surely why George Lucas chose to shoot part of his Star Wars sequel in the redwood forests of northern California. What better way to appreciate conifers, one of the world’s most ancient plant groups, than a stroll through this otherworldly redwood forest?

Northern Humboldt

PRAIRIE CREEK REDWOODS STATE PARK Getting There: Approximately 50 miles north of Eureka, park at the Prairie Creek Visitor’s Center and hike the moderately strenuous 8-mile Miner’s Ridge - James Irvine loop. What to watch for: Some of the most spectacular old-growth redwood forests on Earth are decorated with other large conifers like Sitka spruce, western hemlock and Douglas fir. Also visit Fern Canyon, where The Lost World: Jurassic Park and IMAX’s Dinosaurs Alive were filmed. This is the world’s premier hike for big, tall trees.

and State Park but its exact location is shrouded in secrecy. Along Prairie Creek itself, it is said that three of the 10 largest trees by volume in the world can be found. Miner’s Ridge - James Irvine loop goes through only old growth, enshrouded in big trees like Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), western hemlock, Sitka spruce and redwood. This hike will take you back in time.

Getting There: Approximately 100 miles northeast of Eureka, pass through Orleans and carefully follow Six Rivers National Forest roads to the strenuous Salmon Mountain Trailhead. Salmon Mountain is the highest point in Humboldt County at nearly 7,000 feet, so come prepared for any type of weather. What to watch for: Montane and subalpine conifer forests common in other famous California localities like Mount Shasta or the Sierra Nevada. As many as 11 species of conifers can be found on

this hike, including Pacific yew, noble fir and western white pine. If you love the mountains, this is the Humboldt County hike for you. The trail traverses a long ridgeline to the summit of Salmon Mountain, which is the divide between the Salmon and Trinity watersheds. At the summit, you will stand at a triple-divide between Humboldt, Siskiyou and Trinity counties with views to Mount Shasta to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west. In addition to the summit, several small lakes can be found with some side exploring. The lakes are not deep but this makes the perfect habitat for frogs and reptiles — ancestors of the dinosaurs! ________________ reaD UP Expanded descriptions and information for these hikes can be found in Hiking Humboldt Volume 1 by Kenneth Burton, Hiking Humboldt Volume 2 by Rees Hughes and Conifer Country: A natural history and hiking guide to 35 conifers of the Klamath Mountain region by Michael Kauffmann.

Maple madness, a little known tradition in Humboldt, offers fall foliage and apple orchards bear the fruit of a festival and award-winning hard ciders. Feast your eyes on Eureka's sculpture scene (which is looking up), a world record steer, Shakespeare in the redwoods, a rare lunar event and a trail that might just lead to Bigfoot. →

Outdoorsy Type While the coastal redwoods take star billing in Humboldt County, our forests include other arboreal species of note, in particular the big leaf and vine maples, whose leaves swap their chlorophyll greens in favor of bright yellows and sometimes oranges and reds each autumn. In Humboldt Redwoods State Park, where redwoods reach as high as 370 feet, other trees must try their best to follow suit, muscling their way into as much sunlight

as they can. One success is the so-called honey maple, determined a few years ago to be the world’s tallest maple tree. The 160-foot-tall champion is quite a looker too, elegantly spreading out its limbs in a peaceful forest along the Avenue of the Giants between Pepperwood and Founder’s Grove. Ask about it at the park visitor center on the Avenue (17119 Avenue of the Giants, Weott, 707-946-2409) and you’re likely to learn the exact spot if you’re nice.

Another excellent venue for the maple madness is along the Wild and Scenic Eel River, which, like the Nile, flows northward until it dashes out into the Pacific near Ferndale. Whether along the Avenue of the Giants, which follows a stretch of the South Fork of the Eel, or along U.S. Highway 101 around Fortuna, which offers sweeping panoramas of the main Eel River valley, the quite noticeable bands of yellows of the maples clinging to the river banks in both

directions offer a pleasant visual contrast to the usual greens, reds and browns of the dairy pastures and conifer forests. Farther north, other deciduous relatives takes center stage â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the vine maples, which seem to droop and melt in riots of twisting trunks and branches over the creeks of Redwood National and State Parks. They are somewhat odd looking all year, not just because of their shapes but because they are often coated in wispy,

eerie-looking mosses. Come autumn, however, they are transformed by seasonal splendor, their thick swaths of leaves all turned radiant gold. Given that the waterways are natural forest breaks, the sun has a chance to shine through and place these rare beauties in the spotlight. Some photographers consider this time of year the best to shoot the redwoods, capturing the seasonal contrasts. For a bonus stop, consider heading

east on State Route 299 toward Willow Creek. The coastal mountains, usually cloaked in the uniform green canopy of evergreens, break out like firecrackers into bright rashes of yellow as pockets of mountain maples do their autumn thing.

Foodies Since Earnest and May bought their Fortuna farm in 1908, the Clendenen family has been growing apples and making cider. Today, grandson Clif and great-grandson Drew are the primary members of the apple cider gang, but every visit and taste to the Clendenen’s Cider Works (96 12th St., Fortuna. 707-725-2123, www.ClendenensCiderWorks.com) showcases the work of all the generations. While some trees in the orchard are modern varieties, others are originals dating back to the 1860s. Mix them together and one enjoys some of the most complex, pure, delicious, organic and unpasteurized ciders anywhere. The Clendenens still use a traditional

Other days, their farmhouse shop still merits a visit, for bottled cider, pies and other family-made treats. Open August to January. Fortuna becomes the Big Apple the first weekend each October, as the Friendly City throws a party celebrating this edible member of the rose family. So on October 7 and 8, during the 34th annual Fortuna Apple Harvest Festival (Main Street and Rohner Park, Fortuna. 707-725-3959, www.sunnyfortuna.com), be prepared for pies, barbecue,

Art Lovers Art is looking up in Eureka. For the most part, artists like the spotlight on their works, and place them where they can be easily seen and admired. What about the handful of creations that purposely lurk elsewhere, in particular, where people are least likely to look — over their heads? To wit, at the Lost Coast Brewery Restaurant in Eureka (617 Fourth St., Eureka, 707-445-4480, www.lostcoast. com), newbies open the main door and are either oblivious to the danger dangling over them or (spoiler alert) do a quick jump when they see a giant black widow closing in on their heads The imposing arachnid with beady eyes hatched 20 years ago from the minds of artists June Moxon and Ken Beidleman, as did a complete zoo of other fantastically strange creatures, like balloon-shaped fish and what seems to be a wispy hairless cat, that populate the ceiling of the pub. The two, among the leading designers of Kinetic Grand Championship machines each spring, are the de facto artists in residence, living in a flat upstairs, from which they often peddle an unusual kinectic sculpture craft sporting a slow triangle symbol, looking much like an Amish buggy carriage. A few Old Town blocks to the southwest, another whimsical creature floats above the entrance to the Hall Gallery and C Street Studios (208 C Street, Eureka, 707-498-0059), a collective of some

of Humboldt’s leading artists: wild colorist Augustus Clark, soothing realists Stock and Rachel Shleuter and “wire lady” Elizabeth Berrien. David White, a whimsical puppeteer, is the creator of the lonesome life-sized lady hovering directly above the downstairs door, who usually remains undetected in the foyer until one leaves the building. Then she is unavoidable and requires one’s complete attention. One does not often see someone with a window in her torso, framing a sort of crazy chicken. A third elevated apparition remains shrouded in mystery in the Clarke Historical Museum (240 E St, Eureka, 707-443-1947, www. clarkemuseum.org, open Wed-Sat), which boasts one of Northern California’s best collections of Indian artifacts. Among the Yurok, Hupa, Weott and Karuk baskets, clothing, weapons, tools and canoes is an outlier, ceremonial bear regalia, made by a Kwakitutal tribesman long ago in British Columbia. Few observe the man-sized monster, composed of bear skin and fur, wooden head and claws, hemp fiber and, most noticeably, giant, staring glass eyes, as it stands silent sentinel in a corner of a second-story loft overlooking the Native American wing. But those who glance up do not soon forget what they see, a terrifying primordial bear apparition, which one local paranormal expert is convinced haunts the building.

Andrea Bergen & Adrienne Heloise: Feral Kingdom (PICTURED ABOVE) JUN 24 - AUG 6 Feral Kingdom uses two different styles of collage to explore relationships with the natural world. Bergen and Heloise both use hand cut, brightly colored artists papers and recycled materials to amass dense, layered collages that reflect their backgrounds as painters. The whimsical paint-by-number quality of

their collages gives a sense of idealized, playful landscapes that upon closer inspection reveal a darker message. Both artists are reacting to their fears of global warming and overwhelming loss of habitats and wildlife as a result of human consumption and waste. Both use fantasy, humor and metaphor around these issues to help process the tragedy of what is happening and question on their own culpability. Sponsored by Betty Osborne

Anne Holsberry: New Navigation JUL 8 - AUG 27 Ann Holsberry is a painter who works in a variety of media. Her experience growing up on the Gulf Coast of Florida and journeys since then have been central to her work. She finds inspiration in the mystery of the natural world, and is fascinated by the movement of humans and animals across the globe. Cosmology also fascinates her as the movements of planets and stars complement these earthbound migrations. The transit of bodies across distances large and small, in conjunction with her love of found maps and scientific papers from bygone eras is the inspiration for this New Navigation Installation. 23rd Annual Junque Arte Competition & Exhibition SEP 16 - OCT 29 Designed to celebrate artistic creativity on the North Coast, and heighten the awareness of renewable resources in the art making process, each artwork in this juried exhibition is made from 100% recycled materialsâ&#x20AC;Ś reclaimed, reused, recovered, secondhand, salvaged, anything un-new!

Selections from the HAC Permanent Collection ONGOING Collecting works of art is one of the most basic undertakings of an art museum. Moreover, what the museum collects strongly determines its overall character and influence in the community at large. As a consequence, the Humboldt Arts Council in the Morris Graves Museum of Art is founded upon the principles of ethical art collecting and stewardship. The Museum recognizes that it holds for posterity a significant portion of our cultural wealth. The Morris Graves Museum of Art is dedicated to the arts and artists of the Pacific Northwest with the highest priority given to the works of our patron artist, Morris Graves. Emphasis is placed on collecting art which builds on the evolving strengths of the collection and which also have a significant potential for long-term usefulness.

With the Kids Children love wild pets and perhaps none is more ingrained in their imaginations than the hairy hominid of Humboldt, Bigfoot. Fifty years ago this October, Bigfoot made his/her/its film debut in the world famous Patterson-Gimlin 16-millimeter short, which seems to show a female of the species lumbering across a clearing in Bluff Creek. It makes sense that the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest collection of curios dedicated to the legendary man-beast is in nearby Willow Creek. Wooden sculptures of the cryptozoological star stand sentinel throughout the mountain town on State Route 299, including a giant 20-footer outside the China Flat-Bigfoot Museum, (38949 CA-299, Willow Creek, (530) 629-2653, www.bigfootcountry.net), which houses an entire wing dedicated to the camera-shy creature.

pins and even a supposed fossilized ankle bone all make a convincing case that A) Bigfoots live and B) most of them like to hang out in the nearby hills, the most remote in the state, including Six Rivers National Forest, a 1 million-acre hide-andseek playground for Bigfoot. Anxious to get on the road and have a look? Head north from Willow Creek on State Route 96, officially designated the Bigfoot Scenic Highway. The two-lane meanders through the scenic Trinity River valley, flanked by lush mountains carpeted in evergreens, perfect hiding places for you-know-who. Be mindful of the Bigfoot Crossing sign just north of Willow Creek, a good place for a photo opp. Otherwise, if you don’t see, hear or smell any of them (they are reputed to howl and emit an odor like a skunk), as a consolation you can go down the river with Bigfoot Rafting (40630

Wake the kids in the middle of the night with howls and hoots, if you want to scar them for life. To ensure you sight the creature, bring lawn chairs to Willow Creek on Saturday, September 2 at 10 am, when we promise you will see a whole family of them traipsing down Main Street. The town will host many Bigfoot-themed events over the long Labor Day weekend, but this is the 57th annual Bigfoot Days parade. See Bigfoots on a horse, dressed as Chewbacca, hand-

ing out candy, maybe even in a vintage tank or running for office. It’s all possible. Afterward, the townfolk shift over to Veterans Park (100 Kimtu Road, Willow Creek), where bands, food trucks, bouncy houses and Bigfoot trinket vendors all vie for the attention of your little ones. Wander into the VFW hall and you just might bump into leading Bigfoot-ologists like Bob Gimlin, co-creator of the famous Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot short, shot in October of 1967. It is the second-most viewed piece of amateur film footage. You can download the best scene onto your phone as an animated gif and tell your kids to hunt for a real creature instead of playing Pokémon Go.

Not Strictly for Tourists Making hay is no bull at Lost Coast Hay (5113 Myrtle Ave., Eureka, 707-497-6927, www. LostCoastHay.com), the leading producer and seller of — you guessed it — hay in Humboldt County. It’s convenient for the world’s tallest bovine, Danniel (two “n”s), because he lives on the property, which consists of a rambling old barn stocked with agricultural feed and seed goods, local foods, a few goats and countless cute chicks and ducklings. Outside there are fields overflowing in autumn with pumpkins and year-round with — you got it right again — hay. The wee fowl alone make the trip worth it for entertainment but gentle Danniel, a rescued drop calf that now as a full-grown steer stands at 6 feet 4 inches at shoulder height, remains the star attraction. Despite his height, he’s one of the gentlest creatures

on the planet and enjoys his people time, something he learned in his earlier home, Eureka’s Sequoia Park Zoo. Unfortunately, at a bale or two of hay a day, he was eating himself out of house and home. Fortunately, Lost Coast Hay was able to adopt. The plays of William Shakespeare seem right at home in Arcata’s Redwood Park, itself a rather magical place. The trees are part of a public open space atop a hill near Humboldt State University, with a playground, picnic tables, basketball court and a large clearing that makes a perfect theatrical amphitheater, which each summer hosts Arcata’s Plays in the Park. On tap this summer, Love’s Labour’s Lost, one of the Bard’s earliest comedies, which follows the King of Navarre and his companions as they try to swear off, unsuccessfully, the company of women, especially the

princess of France. The production runs July 28 to August 19 on Friday and Saturday evenings. Plays in the Park is produced by North Coast Repertory Theater, the longest running live theater establishment in nearby Eureka. While mostly a volunteer effort, NCRT has many experienced theater pros among its ranks and its summer series in Arcata is quite popular. Order tickets early and park early, too. From the intersection of East 12th and Bayview streets, take the little spur road north, which then winds up to the parking lot in the park (707-834-0861, www.PlaysinthePark.net). Speaking of magical evenings, a little known nocturnal tradition at the world famous Benbow Historic Inn (445 Lake Benbow Drive, Garberville, 800-355-3301, www.BenbowInn.com) draws a handful of

Mooning over the valley or not, Benbow guests this year are enjoying a completely revamped bar and restaurant in the main building, part of a $10 million restoration and expansion of the circa 1922 landmark to bring the original architectural dreams for the state landmark to fruition.

He gradually worked his way up to chocolatier and he and his wife, Tami, bought the business in 2005, when they were barely in their 20s. It was only afterward that she discovered a relative of hers had started the original business — which changed hands, moved and was renamed in 1976 — before World War II.

GRAZING The bounty of Humboldt’s pastures

By Deidre Pike Photos by Amy Kumler Styling by Lynn Leishman

A sketch from the comedy show Portlandia mocks a food-aware couple at a farm-to-table restaurant who demand specifics about their chicken. Unsatisfied with the animal’s name and history, the couple asks the waiter to hold the order until they’ve visited the local farm that raised the animal. Far-fetched joke? In Humboldt County, the source of your animal proteins might be grazing right around the corner, on farms and ranches from McKinleyville to Garberville. You can sample nationally renowned goat cheese in restaurants close to the herd’s roaming pastures. You can sink your teeth into a burger at a restaurant just down the road a piece from the owners’ ranch. There’s no place like Humboldtia for breakfast, lunch and dinner. →

Business partners Marriete Dwight, Lora Collins and Jennifer Bice started making and selling beef jerky from Dwight’s family ranches in Ferndale six years ago. The jerky sold well at farmers markets in the summer but winter rolled around, and with it a beef surplus. What to do? Three years ago, the women obtained a historic building in Fernbridge, right across from Humboldt Creamery. They kept the charming worn wood floors of the one-time dance hall and added rancherly touches — glass panes sporting cattle brands from Humboldt ranches, barn

board art crafted by Dwight and a hay bale hook hanging from the ceiling. The Ridgetop Café’s namesake is the ridge a few miles off where 150 head of Angus munch on tall grasses at the 2,300acre Whatcheer Ranch. Dwight, a fifth-generation Humboldt County rancher, says she processes beef at two to three years, which makes for young, lean and delicious meat. At the café, the menu highlights pasture-grazed beef from Whatcheer and other area ranches in every imaginable way. For a hearty beefy breakfast, choose from Ridgetop’s signature breakfast burrito ($11.25) — with ground beef, eggs, potatoes, cheese and salsa wrapped in a spinach tortilla — the ground beef omelet ($12) or ground beef hash ($12.50). The Ridgetop Benedict ($13.25) is a novel Bennie twist with ground beef patties over eggs on housemade buttermilk biscuits — topped with rich creamy ground beef gravy. Ground beef gravy? Owners say customers were dubious, at first, about the sauce. But now everyone’s hooked on biscuits served with savory, sagey sauce with its crumbled burger bits.

For lunch, succulent beef fills taco salads ($10.25) and ground beef quesadillas ($9.75). Worthy options, both. But if you order these, sadly, you’ll miss the killer burger. The Ridgetop burger ($12) is a simultaneously lean and juicy thirdpound of house-seasoned heaven. It’s served with lettuce, tomato, onion and house aioli on a ciabatta bun branded with the letters “RT.” Perfect as served. Or you can combo it up with fixings that include various cheeses, grilled onions, jalapenos, sauerkraut, salsa, ham and eggs. Smoked jack cheese is popular and you can’t go wrong with the sriracha-glazed bacon that comes with the Western cheeseburger special ($15). What makes it so good? Longtime restaurateur Collins demurs on recipe specifics for the house seasonings but answers the quality question simply: “It’s all about the beef.” Feeling groovy — and full — you walk out the door and peer up over the roof of Fernbridge Tractor & Equipment Company. See that ridge against the Humboldt sky? Your spectacular burger came from right there.

Folie Douce, across U.S. Highway 101 from Humboldt State University, could bill itself as the local tasting room for Cypress Grove, the Arcata-based chevre producer with national goat cheese renown. The restaurant is an easy walk from the Cypress Grove creamery on Q Street, where the good stuff is made and aged. Both are a scenic bike ride from the Cypress Grove dairy on Dow’s Prairie Road, inland from Clam Beach. At the dairy, about 1,000 goats — LaMancha, Toggenburg, Alpine and Saanen — feed on 35 acres of lush Humboldt grasses and have access to comfy naturally lit indoor spaces. The farm is

so swank that employees dub the place a “country club” and the American Humane Association awarded Cypress Grove its highest rating of 100 percent humane. That goat bliss comes through in all those Cypress Grove cheeses. If you’ve encountered the creamy tang of soft-ripened Humboldt Fog with its rich strip of vegetative ash, you’re just getting started. You’ll want to sample everything else from fresh Fromage Blanc to the rich, aged Midnight Moon. For a satisfying side-by-side tasting, Folie Douce offers its Cypress Grove cheese plate ($18).

Farm to Glass

Humboldt Regeneration’s homegrown brews

By Grant Scott-Goforth Photos by Mark McKenna

“YOU’RE MAKING THIS HARD FOR ME,” says a regu-

lar who’s sidled up to the standing-only bar that divides the small tasting room from the tap house at the Humboldt Regeneration Brewery. He came to get a growler filled, but with 28 unique beers on tap, and a small littering of empty tasters in front of him, this customer is experiencing some decision anxiety. Humboldt Regeneration Brewery and Farms lives up to its name. Owner Jacob Pressey claims to be the first commercial brewer in the county to roast his own malt (the process of germinating then drying grains) since Prohibition. He grows those grains, too, on a small plot of agricultural land down the street from his McKinleyville brewery and tasting room. Pressey is gregarious, eager to talk about his experiments, experience and the thinking behind

each of his unique brews. Formerly the brewmaster for Eel River Brewing Co., a North Coast icon in its own right, Pressey has been in the fermenting game for two decades plus. His long-term goal is to mimic an estate winery — to buy a plot of farmland with enough space to grow all the grains, hops and other ingredients for his brewing needs and to have the tap house right there on the grounds, putting people right in the center of the farm-to-pint-glass experience. While he uses all the grains he grows, these days he has to supplement them with purchased grains to match the volume of beer he brews. Humboldt Regeneration could be gently described as a nanobrewery, but the cramped brewery/tap room — decked out with boilers, a malt kiln, oak barrels and kegs and other accoutrements that spill into the parking lot — charms because

it’s clearly where the wizardry happens. There are a handful of tables and chairs, a standing bar and all of the kitsch and beer-stained memorabilia that would adorn any good taproom. Variety is the name of the game at Regeneration. Rather than falling back on the hop-forward Northern California IPA trope, Pressey crafts a range of beers, from malt brews to fruit-based beers. On any given day expect to find porters, gruts, stouts, ales, geuzes and several sour styles on tap. The grut on this particular day is made from local mushrooms and honey — a strange combination on paper, but a delightfully subtle none-toosweet sipping beer. Regeneration beers have an earthy undertone — in a good way. Pressey is always exploring and trying anything from his and his friends’ farms that might make a lick of sense in a beer. For example, there’s a malty porter that runs through roasted apple branches, giving a slightly sweet, smoky vibe. And yes, those apple branches came from Pressey’s trees. He culled them while doing some extensive pruning to build a fence around his orchard so his

chickens could hang out under the trees. Pressey offers a growler share program for those of us lucky enough to live around here. Like a farm share, you pay in advance and fill a growler each week, depending on your plan. But travelers can fill growlers, too, and Regeneration offers pressurized growler fills that stay fresh a month or longer for the hardcore beer tourists who needs some imbibable souvenirs to bring home. (Go ahead and leave that spare tire behind if you need more room for growlers.) Regeneration is tucked off of the beaten path in McKinleyville, at 2320 Central Ave., in a mini storage complex behind an auto garage. Look for the sandwich board announcing beer as you approach, and follow the driveway all the way to the back to Unit F. On Friday and Saturday nights, the space will feel cramped — it gets pretty busy with beer lovers — but weekday evenings are more mellow. And if you’re looking to see parts of the brewing in action, try coming on Fridays or Saturdays as soon as Pressey opens. He’ll often be found malting his grains or brewing a new batch.

The Back Porch 1380 Ninth St., Arcata Open Friday and Saturday, 10 am–5 pm or by appointment.

Locals remember when you could go down to the old recycling center in Arcata and get a door, or an old sink, or some random wood for a project you dreamed up that morning. Well you can again, except it’s nicer and the project is already made for you. At The Back Porch, where the recycling center used to be, you’ll find cabinets, tables, bird feeders and many other useful items, each one individually designed by owner Martin Ludtke. Most of the furniture is constructed from older components and made “new” again but with an antique feel. “I’d say about 75 to 80 percent of the materials are old growth or salvaged materials,” says Ludtke. No plywood, plastic or pressboard is found in his creations. “I’m always looking for new ideas, kind of based on what they did in the old days. I’ve always done some form of this, collecting and fixing up, so building

from scratch is kind of new, and was a learning curve for me to figure out how to do it right.” Ludtke forages throughout Northern California and Oregon for gems — old doors, antique furniture and hardware in need of some love (the older the better, and turn-of-the century items are just right), old growth redwood and anything else that might work to restore an old piece and give it new life. The Back Porch was one of the first new businesses to open in the blossoming Creamery Arts District of Arcata, home to the Arcata Playhouse, Holly Yashi, Bang! Bang! and Wrangletown Cider, to name a few. The store is only open Fridays and Saturdays, and it’s well worth spending some time there on a weekend. Oh, and snap a selfie with the Playhouse’s giant, polka-dotted giraffe on wheels while you’re there.

In the newly restored Carson Block Building of Eureka, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find people engaging in the lost art of letterpress. Well, maybe not so lost anymore. Lynn Jones, who co-owns Just My Type Letterpress Paperie with fellow printer Siobhan Ayres, says the craft has been making a comeback in the past 10 years, and many of the printers are women in their 20s and 30s. Letterpress was the ubiquitous printing technique for roughly 500 years until offset printing

came along in the 1950s. Letterpress involves printing off of a raised surface. The great, heavy machines press a backward image into the paper with ink. “These days we can use plastic plates to do the printing,” says Jones. Plastic is much more durable than lead or wood, which used to be the industry standard. As she showed me around the store, she reassured me that most people who come into the shop don’t know anything about letterpress printing. “Every visit is like a little tour,” she explained. Just My Type uses a 1920s letterpress to print formal paper items such as wedding invitations, birth announcements, stationery, greeting cards, business cards, thank-you cards, shipping cards for Internet sales and limited edition art prints. They also print all of the packaging for locally made Dick Taylor Chocolates. Visitors can check out the antique letterpress machines that are on display in the store. And business seems to be going well. “We’ve only been open here since the middle of December,” said Jones, “but we’ve already done four weddings.” The store also sells stationary, gifts, pencils and upcycled and new T-shirts. The owners plan to expand into offering printmaking paper, blocks, ink and other art supplies, and soon you’ll be able to take classes in block carving, printing, and the basics of letterpress.

The town’s motto is “river fun in the mountain sun.” Willow Creek is hot enough for wine making or a cool dip in a Camp Kimtu swimming hole. The weather also means great produce at roadside stands. If you’re adventurous, you can throw on a vest and do some river rafting, and more leisurely types can fish or play a round of golf. Just keep your eyes peeled, because this is Bigfoot country. Swing into the China Flat Museum and explore the lore.

Just north of Trinidad, Patrick’s Point State Park calls, with stunning vistas, traditional Yurok structures and the appropriately named Agate Beach. Farther up, Orick is the hub for plenty of trails and camping possibilities. Start at the Kuchel Visitor Center, staffed by the National Park Service, and pick your Redwood National Park adventure, whether it’s the epic Tall Trees Grove, the dreamy Ladybird Johnson Grove, the Skunk Cabbage Trail or the must-see wonder of Fern Canyon.

Humboldt residents socked in by summer fog know that they can generally find truth and relief in Blue Lake’s motto: “sunshine and sea air.” Where the Mad River takes its final stretch toward the Pacific, a small community of 1,200 displays an international reach. Once sawmills ruled, but now the Dell’Arte International School of Physical Theater imports students from around the world to learn the craft of commedia dell’arte and perform dramas and old-school clowning year round.

Trinidad’s iconic lighthouse is a symbol of the town where Humboldt County’s fishing past lives on. Every day, the boats that dot the small harbor’s moorings scour the sea among dramatic, rocky outcroppings. For a look back, tour the Trinidad Museum, then stop at the smaller Memorial Lighthouse and take in the view and the sea air. Trinidad Art Night fills the little town with music, food and local artwork every first Friday of the month, and the annual Fish Festival and Blackberry Festival bring in folks from all over.

The sign says horses have the right of way, which should give you an idea of McKinleyville’s vibe. Some of its biggest attractions are outdoors. Play with the kids in Hiller Park and hike or bike the paved Hammond Trail. Ditch your shoes and spend the day at Clam Beach (yup, there are clams out there for the digging) kayaking, paddleboarding or just relaxing among the dunes. There’s a course if you’re itching for a round of golf, and there’s even a sweet, little waterfall tucked along the road into town. Already visited the world’s biggest ball of string? Swing by the world’s tallest totem pole. And on McKinleyville Arts Night, the third Friday of each month, you can tool around town and see what local artists, artisans and musicians young and old are up creating — maybe even take a piece home.

Home to Humboldt State University, Arcata is a magnet for arts, culture, entertainment and education. Hike the Arcata Community Forest or play among the big trees in Redwood Park. Cruise the plaza for Saturday's farmers market or a festival. Go from locavore to exotic in the restaurants and cafés. At night, the bars, theaters and restaurants are stages for live music for every taste — from big name performers to hometown legends. The music spills into the streets and shops and restaurants turn into galleries during Arts Arcata!, the second Friday of every month.

Honest, Reliable, Professional

Eureka This place is full of stories. Once a raucous lumber town and fishing village, early Eureka bustled with saloons and brothels, along with a hardy mix of rugged entrepreneurs looking to settle the North Coast. Jack London himself is said to have taken a swing in a barroom brawl in Old Town. Today, the boats still bring crab and salmon to the docks, and historic buildings at the edge of Humboldt Bay form a walkable enclave of places to browse, drink and dine. Slow down with a stroll along the waterfront trail or lean on the railing of the Old Town boardwalk and watch the boats go by. And don’t miss Arts! Alive, the first Saturday night of each month, when the streets fill up with folks touring the shops, restaurants and galleries for local art and live music.

There’s a reason Hollywood keeps coming to film in Ferndale. It’s an idyllic American small town that hasn’t lost its character. (You might recognize Main Street’s Victorian architecture from movies such as The Majestic and Outbreak.) Ferndale’s downtown offers plenty to explore, including artist galleries, old-fashioned shops, classic restaurants and the Ferndale Museum. Grab a coffee and window shop the vintage storefronts and take photos of the Gingerbread Mansion, or put on your hiking shoes and take in the view from the bluffs in Russ Park or Centerville Beach. Downtown or in the great outdoors, it’s a trip back in time.

Even those of us who live among redwood giants look up now and then in amazement. Driving along the Avenue of the Giants shows you something new around every corner, something photos and video can’t quite do justice. We lean on words like “majesty” and “breathtaking,” but you kind of have to be there under the ancient, towering canopy to really get it. Take it slow and plan to make a few stops. (Are you not going to stop and see chainsaw sculptures? Please.) From kitsch to fine woodwork, the shops along the Avenue are their own local attraction.

Garberville & Redway South of the Avenue of the Giants lies Garberville, where you can escape the coastal fog, enjoy warmer temperatures and hit the farmers market for a treat. The little town has a surprisingly robust nightlife scene and a wild and beautiful landscape of hills and forest that you can sample in Tooby Memorial Park. Check the calendar and see what’s playing at the Mateel Community Center in neighboring Redway — the venue regularly brings in major musical acts and puts on some of Humboldt’s biggest festivals, including Reggae on the River.

Aptly named the “lost coast,” Shelter Cove is nestled in a stretch of beach that offers a natural retreat tucked away in its own world. Accessible by sea and air, the town has one road in and one road out. Once there, enjoy fishing, hiking, boating, golf, excellent lodging and camping options. Settle in for winter storm watching, whale watching or a hike along a unique, 24-mile stretch of black sand beach. A natural coastline unfettered by highways and the normal coming and goings of humanity make Shelter Cove a singular American destination.
