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 Jacob Pressey, who grows much of the ingredients for his Humboldt Regeneration brewery. All this gorgeous produce may spark your desire to cook for yourself, or at least nibble some fresh fruit and vegetables. So enjoy the abundance of Humboldt’s late summer and fall. It’s a bumper crop.
