Who is Mellonia? She is the Roman Goddess of Pollination--or as we affectionately call her, the Queen Bee. We feel that pollinators are some of the most important workers in the food chain. Without them, the crops would be barren. Our part in the local food chain is to master traditional food preservation techniques and with those new-old skills update them for today's world. Our farmstead kitchen generates more solar power than it consumes, it banks all water waste into the orchards and all food wastes are composted to become rich soil. Most importantly to us, we create fermented food products that are beautiful to the eye and to the palate..
