Mushroom grower cited by USDA over licensing
Anderson, co-owner of Golden Gourmet Mushrooms, said the citation stemmed from the company's failure to get a PACA license in late 2006 and all of 2007, when it stopped growing mushrooms in North County for a time as a new, larger production facility was being built. During that time, the company imported specialty mushrooms from its longtime partner, Hokuto Corp.,
Japan. But some of Golden Gourmet's marketing materials continued to say the mushrooms were grown organically in the United States. Moreover, traders of fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables must be licensed by the Agriculture Department. So when Golden Gourmet began selling imported mushrooms that it didn't grow itself, it needed a USDA license. It didn't have one. Anderson claims that growers don't need a PACA license, and Golden Gourmet didn't have one for several years. I screwed up.
That's a fact", Anderson said. It was an error not to have the PACA license, but for all those years we were a grower and a seller. Our error was during this transition" while a new facility is being built.
A USDA spokesman said no one was available yesterday to provide more details regarding the Golden Gourmet citation. The USDA hasn't issued a citation on the organic complaint to date, and Anderson sent the Union-Tribune documents from Quality Assurance International, which certifies organic growers, that Hokuto had indeed been certified as an organic producer for several mushroom varieties.
The USDA citation forbids Anderson and co-owner Nicholas D. Connor from being employed or affiliated with any PACA-licensed company until May 1, 2009, and then only with the posting of a USDA-approved bond. As of yesterday, The Kinoko Co. Golden Gourmet Mushrooms brand. It's also a distributor of other brands for which Hokuto is the grower.
Kinoko is run by Anderson's son, Dylan, with the full knowledge of the USDA, Anderson said. It has a PACA license. For years, Golden Gourmet grew mushrooms at an 80,000-square-foot facility in San Marcos using techniques developed by Hokuto. It specialized in maitake, king trumpet, white beech, brown beech and enoki mushrooms. In 2006, it entered into a deal under which Hokuto will build a 250,000-square-foot facility in San Marcos on the Golden Gourmet site.
Hokuto owns the facility. The robotic growing operation is expected to be finished later this year, and will expand capacity from 1 million pounds annually to 6 million. Golden Gourmet continues to exist as a company, focusing on medicinal mushrooms. It grows different varieties for the nutritional supplement market and for pet and equine uses.

Gourmet coffee machines head to Stratford - The Connecticut Post Online
Daly Stephen J. Winters John Hourihan James H. Daly Ken Dixon John Hourihan James H. Smith Peter Urban Stephen J. Gourmet coffee machines head to Stratford RICHARD WEIZEL Article Last Up d: 04 28 2008 10:37:44 PM EDT STRATFORD & 8212; For decades, a nearly century-old, quaint brick building on Soundview Avenue was the home of a local favorite: French Baking.
Generations of Stratford residents drove by the bakery in the early morning just to smell the gourmet breads, rolls and pies made there & 8212; and many still miss the bakery's tasty delights since it closed about a year ago. But a different kind of international aroma will soon emanate from the building: gourmet coffees and espresso brewed in $15,000 espresso coffee machines. While the beverages will not be for sale at the site, hundreds of the machines will be stored there and sold to distributors around the world.
In addition, the distributors who sell the coffee makers will gather there every month to learn how to use the high-end machines and their changing technology, which are sold to gourmet restaurants, cafes and hotels in more than 80 countries.
The company, LaSpaziale-USA, part of an international company based in Italy, will be moving and expanding its American operations to the former French Baking building.
That became official last week when the town's Zoning Commission voted unanimously to approve the company's special-exception application to relocate its Seattle warehouse to the Stratford site. Gourmet espresso and cappuccino are no longer just Italian drinks; they are global beverages, and the home company in Italy that makes the machines has decided to expand in the United States," said Assaad Advertisement Benabid, president of the company's American operations. We are excited to be staying in Fairfield County and love Stratford," Benabid said.
We wanted a quaint, historic-looking building on the outside, but on the inside we intend to create a state-of-the-art, modern facility." Benabid said the company intends to invest about $1 million to buy and renovate the building, then move its operations there by the end of summer or early fall. We view this as bringing tradition and modern technology together," Benabid said. We do a lot of training because we are constantly updating the technology with new methods to produce our products."
Zoning officials said the business is rare venture but one they believe will fit in Stratford. It's definitely a unique company, but makes a lot of sense on a piece of property that had been vacant for so long and will be made viable for the tax rolls," said Zoning Commission Chairman Chris Silhavey. I miss the French bakery as much as anyone, but this is a perfect business to replace it.
Even though the outside has fallen into disrepair, it's a nice old brick building that will be preserved for a thriving and growing company." Planning and Zoning Administrator Gary Lorentson said while the building is in a residential zone, the previous business use can be grandfathered as long as the new business maintains the same or more restricted nature as the old use.
I guess we'll just have to get used to the smell of gourmet coffee instead of fresh bread and rolls," Silhavey quipped.

Terlato Wine Group :: Gourmet Goes Green: Study Confirms Luxury Wanted With Good Conscience
Of those, 92.5 percent said they would be more likely to purchase a luxury wine if it used sustainable techniques in growing the grapes and crafting the wine. One company taking note of that sentiment is Terlato Wine Group, owner of wineries in Napa, Sonoma and Santa Barbara, Calif.,
Chimney Rock, Rutherford Hill and Sanford. From growing the grapes, to crafting the wine, to creating a healthy environment for their workers, to using recycled shipping materials, Terlato believes small steps can add up to make a genuine difference. In fact, Doug Fletcher, Terlato's head winemaker, is interested in looking at the whole.
To me, sustainability means we should look at all the things that we do and how those things affect the eco-system." Fletcher warns against assuming organic or biodynamic mean more eco-friendly. He says many vineyards spray grapes with sulfur to protect against mildew because sulfur is naturally occurring and thus adheres to organic guidelines. However, Fletcher says that when sprayed, sulfur can kill all kinds of beneficial insects. Terlato does not spray with sulfur, but instead uses a targeted compound that works on mildew alone and doesn't harm insects.
It's man-made, and two times more expensive than sulfur, but in the end, Fletcher believes it's better for the environment. Gourmet food is also going green -- the right way.
If we consider the environment when buying organic veggies and antibiotic-free chicken, it only makes sense to consider the environment when purchasing luxury items, like caviar. The Little Pearl, a Massachusetts-based caviar purveyor, developed a technology to farm fish on land in greenhouses.
By doing so, it alleviates the pressure on wild fisheries, reduces the amount of feed necessary to farm caviar, and helps protect endangered sturgeon in other parts of the world. When asked if sustainability means sacrificing quality, The Little Pearl's founder and CEO, Richard Brauman, says quite the contrary.
To me, fresh and sustainable caviar is more luxurious than traditional caviar because when a customer indulges in the exquisite experience of eating it on blini with creme fraiche and champagne, they no longer have to worry about health or the environment." Like Brauman, Joe Whinney, the CEO founder of an organic and fair trade-certified gourmet chocolate company called Theo Chocolate, believes social responsibility only enhances his product.
There's no luxury in products that harm many and harm the environment in order to satisfy an elite few," he says. Some cocoa farmers earn less than a dollar a day. How can you enjoy a three or four dollar bonbon knowing others are being harmed?" All marketing terminology and scientific jargon aside, going green is really very simple. It's about the environment.
Sustainable, organic or biodynamic, we all want to head to the same spot," Fletcher says. The objective is to leave the environment in which we find ourselves in better condition than we found it."

But as fuel costs abide to rise and the costs of other goods animation up as a result, Taylor has started forging fewer trips.

She explained that delivery companies admit started adding "fuel charges" to the bill of transporting the goods and as a conclusion grocery stores hold had to elaboration their prices.
