Re: Re: Anyone have dreams for a restaurant (LONG)

Hey you guys I'm in Southern Cali, and it's not all that bad. ))

It's not brown all year round. There are many fruit trees all around. But

the water is pretty yucky. Can't say much in defense of our water.

Ahhh! Alison you are making me hungry!

Hungry not only for good, real food, but for the companionship of others

who, like myself, are tired of the faux food offered in the traditional

grocery.

What you say now may only be a dream. And we may not get all that we dream

of. But if we don't dream we will never have anything.

ALL the time! But they are just that- dreams. Right now I am raising small

children and have no saving or income aside from what my dh brings home. I

dream that perhaps when the children are older we'll do something like

that-

hey, built in staff!

I've imagined SO many different scenarios. My ideal location I think would

be near Atlanta, Georgia- they have some CSA's there and I think the raw

milk laws are less restrictive in GA if I'm not mistaken. And it's not TOO

far from shipping and the Coast to get fresh seafood at an affordable

price.

I personally just don't like California all that much- it's so BROWN. )

And the drinking water is all yucky.

In defense of CA - the southern half of the state is

indeed brown most of the time, and many populous areas

have yucky water, but here in Northern CA it's not

like that. I live in the Sierra foothills, the Mother

Lode, in a rural area. My tap water is quite good (it

comes from a nearby town, but many people around here

also have wells which produce good water), I filter it

to remove the traces of chlorine but it analyzes as

very clean and it's not bad tasting at all.

Un-irrigated grass turns brown in the dry heat of the

summer, but there are many green trees, and I

personally think this is one of the most beautiful

places on Earth. The springtime here takes my breath

away, it's so lovely. I just didn't want anyone

thinking CA is all brown and yucky! Many people

who've been to Southern CA think the whole state is

like that, but we're really a very diverse state, from

desert to rainforest, ocean to plains to rolling oak

woodlands to alpine high mountains.

Your ideas for the restaurant and community market

are fantastic!
