Greetings 
!

We made it! We are celebrating our first anniversary as a restaurant and our 21st year in business.

Today marks exactly the day, one year ago, that we opened the doors to our new location and fulfilled our vision of a farm to table dining experience.

As challenging as the year has been to orchestrate and creatively respond to a dozen or more new and ever changing variables; we are enthusiastic and excited about where we are at now and optimistic for what the future holds.

We could not have done it without our team. Thank you to our dedicated staff (past and present)for bringing the vision into reality. For stepping up in so many ways to become a business that fulfills our mission: "that everyone and everything thrives".

And thank you to our customers, that's you, for supporting us, giving us critical feedback, encouraging us and coming in time and time again.

Community Supported Agriculture:

Here's what one of our customer's told us the other week:

"I'm a super busy, working, single woman and LOVE fresh food but end up only getting to the grocery or farmers markets once a month.  Your service has brought back fresh eating into my world and I am so thankful."  
JoLynn

She gets a delivery on a regular basis - would you like to get one too?

Outer Aisle FARMERS KITCHEN, MARKET & PUB. "growing food, feeding community". 

Behind the scenes of Outer Aisle is Taylor Farms. Located on Main Street, Douglas Flat, our nearly two acre "beyond organic" farm produces a large variety of seasonal vegetables including these seasonal highlights: summer heirloom tomatoes, fall cauliflower, winter carrots and spring potatoes to name just a few! 

Outer Aisle also operates a year round CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program. We distribute the highest quality, local, seasonal and regional produce and products to members all over Calaveras and Tuolumne Counties. We only purchase product from farms and producers who are committed to ecologically sustainable practices and go beyond the National "Organic" standards.
COMMUNITY SUPPORTED AGRICULTURE 

We invite you to be a member of our CSA. Community Supported Agriculture is more than a statement of support it's an amazing way to connect your palate with seasonal eating on a regular basis.
 
Where the food comes from?

People ask us all the time is our produce "organic" and while we are tempted to just say yes and let the organic definition tell the story we don't. We are not certified "organic" and to use the word as a casual expression would get us into trouble. We believe that our practice of stewardship goes beyond what is required under the "organic" label. We are committed to caring for the soil and the micro-organisms that so skillfully maintain fertility so that plants can thrive. And above all, we have a direct connection with our customers and invite you to come out to the fields on one of our farm tours. 

Thank you to those pioneering farmers who worked for years, at first alone and then together, to stand firm in ensuring the adoption of strict regulations for what was to become a multi-billion dollar industry. Over the years since "organic" moved to a national standard some of those regs have been "watered" down to allow the larger industrial farms to get a piece of the dollar pie.

We love it that the farmers who were the originators of organic are the predominant producers of the food that we eat, we sell and we cook. 

Those pioneering farmers are still doing what they have always done: adhering to their own high standards of organic and going beyond what is required. Full Belly Farm, Terra Firma, Coke Farms are three of the original pioneers that supply us with produce at times when our garden is not producing. They are advocates of a sustainable approach and even though they are certified organic their practices are what nurtures community: soil and people! 

Those pioneers are inspiring the younger generation and we are proud also to complement our produce with those from up and coming organic farms like Tomatero in Watsonville.


Enjoy seasonal produce and the insurance that what you eat comes from farms that practice diversity, stewardship and are pioneers of good health.
