Jess has been with us since June ’21.
Over the years her roles and responsibilities have grown and she is now head Pâtissière, while planning and executing all things baked! She thrives off a measured, precise, 25 step recipe (it takes a certain type of personality) and we thank her for it. Jess also manages the kitchen on packaging/delivery days and has memorized every clients’ likes, dislikes and allergies! Jess has worked at famous East Bay restaurants and gets to share with us her baking expertise and knowledge – lucky us!

I believe animals should live on grass and under the sun, as Mother Nature intended. And Silver Sky Ranch clearly believe this, too.

PSA this is PASTURE RAISED!!

When you buy Trader Joe's and Whole Foods meat that says "FREE RANGE" - KNOW THEY NEVER EVEN SAW THE SUN 😭it's terrible 😢

Silver Sky Ranch also only slaughters one cow a week...talk about a beautifully tiny, sustainable practice 😍

And if you cannot afford to buy humanely raised meat, THAN DONT EAT MEAT!
There, I said it.
I'm tired of influencers and "health-forward podcasters" promoting diets like the "paleo diet" but never once mentioning the ethical treatment of animals.

There's nothing wrong with eating mainly rice and beans (like a majority of cultures around the world) and animal protein only 1 to 2 times a week.
And if you get bloated and can not digest rice and beans then see my naturopath to take care of your gut issues 🙌🏼

Know where your meat comes from!!

Grapfruit Avocado Salad in next week's Meal Delivery - and why it is the perfect combination, medicinally speaking.
Photograph was taken by the talented for my website - thank you, my friend!
Copied from my Blog Post I wrote 13 years ago:
I love learning about foods and their medicinal purposes, and in addition, what foods paired together create an even bigger beneficial bang (than when eaten on their own)!
Grapefruits are rich in lycopene, an antioxidant that’s been shown to reduce inflammation and prevent cell damage. But when you pair grapefruit with avocado, the avocado’s healthy fats actually help increase lycopene absorption, making it more available for your body to use. says Dr Oz.

When I cook for my clients, it is with these intentions as well…every ingredient I choose serves a specific purpose… I LOVE IT… So fun!

Anyway, I love this combination and have been eating it almost every day down here in Mexico.

When I cook for myself, I cook with a purpose and choose foods for their health benefits 🙂 do I always want flax seeds on my yogurt? No, but I always sprinkle a little on because probiotics (yogurt) need high fibrous foods (flax) to thrive and do their thang’ in our tummies!

Lately I’ve been enjoying making a Lemon Honey Flax oil dressing for this salad. I like this Flax oil for dressings. And anything tastes better with chopped nuts on top and fresh greens

THANK YOU! Our sweet Bubba was rescued by Dogwood Animal Rescue Project and comes from a puppy mill in Ohio. She was on her way to be euthanized when Dog Wood stepped in to rescue her and other puppy Mill breeding mamas. Please please please, people stop supporting puppy mills! These mamas live terrible lives so that you can have a “perfect pure puppy” it’s sick and sad.

They have arrived in Ohio ❤️

Our drivers Ajay and April (and little road dog Chili) have arrived in Ohio. The day will be spent getting the dogs vet checked, vaccinated and loaded up. Once everyone is loaded they will be heading back for beautiful new lives in California.

Thank you to our drivers, our veterinary partners, our friends at Heart of Michigan Bernese Mountain Dog Rescue and other rescue angels on that end. Also to NorCal Bernese Mountain Dog Rescue who will be helping taking some of the Berners. So many people behind the scenes to help these dogs.

The dogs are used up or downsized puppy mill breeders and in many cases have never seen a vet or been touched by a stranger in their lives. Many of them have rarely been touched at all, and then only in the context of placing pairs together for breeding. They are bernese mountain dogs, goldendoodles, mini goldendoodles, bernerdoodles, poodles and mini bernerdoodles. They range in age from approximately 3-6 years old and 30-80 pounds. They range in behavior from terrified to social.

Please please stop supporting puppy mills. If you buy a puppy online, without ever meeting mom, being grilled at length by the breeder, and seeing where the pup was raised, it’s probably a puppy mill. Don’t fall for those slick ads showing cute fluffy puppies and with a link to pay by credit card. Puppy mills are big money and they are skilled at saying all the right things to make you buy. Sure the pups are cute, but mama and daddy are living a life of hell in a cold dark barn and when their breeding days are over they are disposable.

We are not accepting applications until these dogs are in our care and have been named. At that time we encourage you to submit your application and list up to two interests.

Making a difference one animal at a time.
