What they say about us
"You can taste the difference. Fresh herbs from Santa Cruz, bread baked that morning, the kind of food that makes you feel connected. It was thoughtful, elegant, and completely us."

Honoring Your Values — One Plate at a Time

You’re planning a celebration—maybe a dreamy mountain wedding or an executive retreat—and you want food that:
- Reflects the land and flavors of the Santa Cruz Mountains.
- Celebrates seasonal, local, and certified-organic ingredients.
- Includes delicious gluten-free and vegan options without compromise.
- Adds color and joy—think "rainbow cooking" using vibrant herbs, citrus, and edible flowers.

We design menus thoughtfully curated for your vision and vibe.

We’re Rooted in Real Food, Literally

Our relationships with farmers are friendships we've had for many years:

Learn more
  • Bella Vista Farms for cold-pressed olive oil that’s fragrant, peppery and rich with polyphenols.

  • Markegard Grass-Fed Beef for the love of soil health  & regenerative farming practices

  • Fogline Farm for pastured  chickens raised with care & an open door policy we value immensely.

Rainbow Cooking—Bright, Bold, & Beautiful

Our signature “rainbow cooking” makes every plate burst with color from vibrant produce and edible garnishes, pop with flavor through bright citrus accents and fresh herbs, and reflect the heart of your celebration—whether it’s romantic, professional, or family-focused.
