Whole Foods Market’s Post

10 years ago, "Craft" was all about being different from big beer and clearly, the battle was in the Specialty segment which was "marginal". I mean.... was there a big guy brewing a Gose or an IPA really? In 2024 and going forward, "Craft" is first and foremost a mindset and brewing lagers, even American Light Lager is absolutely fine. And really that is going to change the game a lot as both will now fight in the central arena looking for consumer's attention. Here is Montucky. A beer from Montana, named after Montana backwood and rural side nickname. Tagline: Cold Snack. Giving 8% of profit to local charities. Great taste, cool design, priced between Busch and Bud. This year it made it in the 50 largest craft by volume and is available in 32 states. Oh and GALLO (Wine & Spirit) just made a strategic investment in Montucky, adding fuel to the fire! So we have more Wine & Spirit companies with a leg in the beer world, while the beer world is all about beyond beer. More fusions ahead!

It started with a seed of an idea. For years, I had wanted to do a cooking class at my local farmer's market as a way to demonstrate a creative way of diverting food waste. However, this required certain licensing that I just didn't have. When I proposed the idea to my current host site, they encouraged me to ask the farmer's market if it was possible. Unfortunately, they weren't allowing new vendors/tablers and definitely not anyone doing a cooking demo. So I tried a new tactic. I reached out to some people in my community and decided to put on a cooking class at a local community center. I purchased all the ingredients and set up times to practice the recipe at the center. This was especially challenging as I didn't have access to a car. This cooking class series - Cooking with Scraps - was not funded by grants. It wasn't a program my host site already had in place. I didn't get a heap of donations or anything like that at all. I just reached out to people my amazing mentor, Patrizia Hironimus, connected me with, got my food handler's certificate and started to take action on my vision. It was a lot to work out, logistically, but I have now run 3 successful Cooking with Scraps workshops on my own. More recently, after I announced my second Cooking with Scraps workshop at a networking event, a person from the community who works at CalFresh came to me and wanted to collaborate. She said her work and my work aligned really well and wanted to assist me in this program. That I started. From scratch. So I said yes. I am deeply grateful for all this support! So whilst I'm not doing my farmer's market demos like I wanted to, my dream has taken a new direction - bringing cooking skills and kitchen safety to people living in temporary housing. Ever since I toured a local temporary housing shelter in Chico (CHAT's Everhart Village), I knew I wanted to do a workshop there. With support from CalFresh and a whole lot of perseverance, that's now possible. The workshop is on Friday and we'll be making carrot top pesto and having a pizza party! I am telling this story so as to inspire others to pursue their dreams (even if it's "just a workshop" or you don't have funding for it right now). Do things that matter to you, that are close to your heart. Know that there is a way. (And eat more veggies!) #inspiration #truestory
