MESSAGE FROM THE CO-OPERATOR-IN-CHIEF

WE KNOW GOOD FOOD AND LOVE TO SHARE. IT IS EASY TO BE ENTHUSIASTIC WHEN YOU WORK AROUND SO MUCH GREAT FOOD PRODUCED ETHICALLY AND SKILLFULLY! - DAN ARNETT

Hello, Sacramento!

LOCAL CAVIAR

In this edition, I wanted to point out some of the items at our store that I am enjoying right now. I hope it helps you discover something which could bring you joy. For me, sharing great food is almost as satisfying as eating it.

Another item that has captured my attention is the Tsar Nicoulai Smoked Trout Roe in our seafood case. Tsar Nicoulai is a local caviar producer and offers some of the world’s best. I recently took a tour of their farm with some members of our staff, and we were all impressed by the sophistication and attention to detail.

As for the smoked roe, the flavor profile is complex, and the smoky-sweetness along with delicate freshness of the roe is sublime. Every person I know who has tried this roe has done a double take! It is inexpensive relative to most similar items too. You might try some of their smoked sturgeon as well—if you are a fan of smoked fish, you really must. It is a hot smoked fish, similar to Northwestern style smoked salmon; it is great by itself as a high protein snack, or you could work it into a dish as you would use other hard smoked fish. You can really wow your guests with these.

FRESH CUT PRODUCE Have you tried the cut fruit in our Produce Department? I am the lone member of my household who enjoys melons, for example, and I can get the freshest, highest-quality, organic fruits in portions which suit me. While others offer it, I simply believe our Co-op offers a cut above and I encourage you to try it and see for yourself. The watermelon has been particularly good! You can find the cut items in the cooler between the Customer Service Desk and the Demo Kitchen.

SUSTAINABLE BREAKFAST In our Deli & Café, there are some new items which I recommend. The breakfast burritos made to order at our taqueria are fantastic. I get

mine with thick-cut bacon, eggs, cheese, and potato with a good dose of jalapeno cooked on the flat top. It is a Mission burrito built for breakfast, and I have not had an equal to it. We have some excellent breakfast pizzas too… if you have not tried our expanded breakfast items, I strongly encourage you to try them. Add to all this our espresso and brewed coffee drinks made by talented baristas with fair trade, organic, cooperative beans from Pachamama and you have the spot for a sustainable, natural breakfast—made with all organic produce, eggs, beans and grains. We open at 6 am, seven days a week—so you early risers have a great resource to utilize!

If these recommendations aren’t helpful to you, our staff is always happy to help you find something to meet your needs. We know good food and love to share. It is easy be enthusiastic when you work around so much great food produced ethically and skillfully!

Field Notes with

“We care about your food and where it comes from!” - Boldt Family

D.E. BOLDT

The Co-op’s long history of supporting local growers gives Co-op shoppers the opportunity to get to know the people and the stories behind our food. D. E. Boldt Farm in Parlier, southeast of Fresno, supplies much of our summer stone fruit.

This family farm is now in its fifth generation. The youngest generation has recently committed to carrying on the legacy of those who have laid the farm’s foundation. They took a little break from farming to share some of their thoughts with us.

What is your family’s history on this farm?

In 1913 our great great grandmother came to California with her three adult children. Her son Reinhold Ewy was looking for a farm to buy. He spent a week in a horse and buggy touring a number of parcels for sale, but none of them felt quite right. The realtor was

embarrassed to show the final piece of land because of the tall weeds growing on it, but Reinhold was delighted.

He knew that if the fertile land could grow such tall weeds, he would be able to grow anything. He was right!

comfortable in the rhythms of life on a small, family farm where seasons blend into generations. On our farm the old stands alongside the new; we are touched daily by a continuity between the past and the future.

Dorothy Boldt, our mom, loves the sun on her cheeks and her hands in the rich earth. She has gotten

Now we three brothers, Alex, Nick and Peter, have chosen to return to the farm. While our peers are securing corporate jobs and advancing as professionals, we are spending lunches with Dad and Mom learning to know 130 acres of land and meeting the daily challenges of caring for fruit trees. We hope to chart the vision for remaining sustainable and successfully passing the farm to the next generation.

How has your farm helped to make the world a better place for people, animals and nature?

David and Dorothy Boldt, Nick, Peter & Alex, plus Slim, the dog.

SACRAMENTO NATURAL FOODS CO-OP

Keeping native vegetation between the rows of trees has its benefits! The soil is alive with microbial activity.

Year round the orchard floor is buzzing with bees and other insects. Hawks, owls and egrets have built nests in the ancient oak trees along our river bluff and help with

rodent control. We strive to work in harmony with nature rather than against it.

Our fruit is harvested daily at peak maturity, May through August, by ten men, all born in Mexico and now living in the United States legally.

Two are second generation to work on our farm and two are third generation. We strive to create a healthy work environment and a living wage for our employees, whom we view as co-farmers.

What types of stone fruit do you grow?

We grow 50 varieties of peaches, plums, nectarines, and a few crosses: pluots, a white fleshed necta-plum and even a fuzzy pea-cot-um.

This year, D.E. Boldt farm is printing the variety name of each fruit on the yellow sticker that goes on each piece of fruit. We think each of our 50 varieties of organic peaches, plums and nectarines is unique. Now you can learn to know and differentiate them.

Thank you for supporting our farm by purchasing our fruit from the Sacramento Co-op.

Good Humus Produce Another fabulous farm we have gotten to know over the years is Good Humus Produce. They grow amazing stone fruit too, and they have a celebration each year to honor the peach harvest.

If you want to get to know a local family farm, this is an event not to miss!

Fresh Peach Ice Cream ½ c. half-and-half 1 c. heavy cream ¾ c. granulated sugar 3 egg yolks, beaten 4 ripe peaches (about 1 pound), blanched 1 t. vanilla extract 1) In the top of a double boiler, combine the half-and-half and cream, and heat over barely simmering water until scalded.

2) In a small mixing bowl, whisk ½ cup of the sugar into the egg yolks. Temper egg yolks by whisking in some of the hot cream. Add egg-cream mixture to the remaining half-and-half and cream, and continue to cook over barely simmering water, stirring frequently,

until the custard coats the back of a spoon. Strain into a clean bowl.

3) Immediately place bowl in a larger bowl of cold water, and stir to cool to room temperature.

Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours, or until thoroughly chilled.

4) About 45 minutes before you wish to freeze the ice cream, peel, pit and slice the peaches. Puree in a food processor and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup sugar; cover, and place in refrigerator letting the sugar dissolve.

5) Add vanilla extract to puree.

Stir the puree into the custard base. Freeze in an ice cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Makes about a quart and a half of ice cream.

Mocktails are a fun alternative to alcohol—cooling and refreshing drinks that the whole family can enjoy at any time of the day or night.

It’s easy to customize a mocktail to suit your taste. The Co-op offers ingredients for endless variations.

Start with our recipes, and mix-and-match to create your own!

Make your mocktail a cocktail! The Co-op’s selection of spirits will be expanding this summer.

Bubbles

Herbs

Bubbles turn the ordinary into a fizzy lifting drink!

We love using all kinds of kombucha, Fever Tree Ginger Ale, Tonic and Bitter Lemon, Reed’s Original Ginger Brew, and San Pellegrino fruity sodas.

La Croix Sparkling Waters add fizz without adding calories.

Herbaceous syrups add complexity to mocktails. Try basil, rosemary, mint, thyme or lemon verbena. Follow the recipe for rosemary syrup on the next page, but note that a fifteen minute steeping time is better for more delicate leaves.

Fruit Fresh fruit is essential! Our Produce Department makes it easy with Grab & Go fruit salad, cut melon and mixed berries. Citrus peels add zest—organic fruit means zero chemical residues!

Muddling brings out the flavor of your ingredients.

Muddlers are available, but all you really need is a sturdy glass and the handle of a wooden spoon. Put a few mint or basil leaves in the bottom of the glass and add a little simple syrup or ginger juice and gently crush the leaves with the spoon handle.

Sweet Sodas, Juice and Coconut Water add as much sweetness as you like.

Syrups can be made with all kinds of herbs and fruits. See recipes on the next page.

MONTINORE BOREALIS WHITE BLEND, WILLAMETTE VALLEY, OREGON

Pretty pale pink color with pastel undertones. Fresh and very aromatic on the nose, this wine has a delicate bouquet with notes of red fruit (currants, cherries and citrus). Good balance between sweetness and acidity in the mouth. This 2017 wine is fresh and balanced, a beautiful expression of this fruity vintage.

These fun 187ml (quarter bottle) cans are a blend—50% Trebbiano, 25% Glera and 25% Chardonnay. Ripe apple, peach and green grape fruit takes center stage with hints of fresh flowers and wet stone—adding complexity. Although who needs complexity—just chill, pop and happily sip this refreshing, crisp white!

Mouthwatering and multi-dimensional, this perennial crowd pleaser is a blend of our favorite cool-climate whites: MüllerThurgau (38%), Gewürztraminer (32%), Riesling (19%) and Pinot Gris (11%). Heady scents of orange blossom, ripe honeydew, guava and kiwi offer a vibrant introduction to this aromatic blend. The palate is sumptuous and round, bursting with stone fruit, Meyer lemon and pear drizzled with caramel.

This plushness yields to a clean, bright and uplifting finish.

Award winning pioneers of American caviar, Tsar Nicoulai has been at the forefront of farmed caviar production for over 30 years. Located in Wilton, CA (about 20 miles from the Coop), it’s definitely “the caviar less traveled” for us here in the Sacramento region!

Nicoulai takes good care of the fish for a long time.

Tsar Nicoulai is committed to overseeing the entire production process and utilizes every part of the fish to minimize waste and also honor the animals. The result is a high-quality, ecofriendly product.

The farm employs tankfarming and raceway techniques that use water from natural aquifers— helping to reduce the threat to declining wild fish stocks.

Duckweed floats on top of the tanks. This natural aquatic plant filters the water and helps keep the sturgeon cool. Sturgeon reach egg-laying maturity at ten years of age, so Tsar

Strauss cattle are given more time to develop before hitting the market, so fat content is higher, resulting in the marbling that makes for flavorful meat.
