Meet
Kate Sylvan

I grew up at the elbow of grandmother, watching her make everything from scratch. making tortillas & pie crusts. My family taught me that feed people is to love them. I started working in kitchens as a teenager, alternating time between cooking and farming. I farmed in California and Vermont; working both in the fields and writing recipes and managing restaurant sales. I went back to school and got my degree in Conservation and Resource studies with a focus in Agricultural Ecology & Ethnobotany from UC Berkeley. I have had the good fortune to travel & work on farms in Spain, Uruguay, at a Boucherie near Dijon, and walk the Pyranees with traditional shepherds. I feel so lucky to live in wild West Marin.
