We are proud to feature another great partner who is passionate about food and health -
Aleece
and her mother Carol own and run The Garden, a restaurant in Denver's
Park Hill neighborhood, committed to providing healthy, local,
affordable and sustainable foods. After a difficult and devastating
family battle with cancer, Aleece went to natural chef school and now
prepares a menu that has plenty of options for folks with restricted
diets including vegan, gluten-free and raw choices. Aleece and her
mother Carol believe that people must take
personal responsibility for their own health, starting with the food they put in their bodies.
A message about food from Aleece:  | | Aleece Raw, Owner and Chef at The Garden |
"I wish I could tell you
I came from a family of foodies. That I learned to cook from my
grandma with healthy, wholesome recipes passed down through the
generations. But I grew up a wholehearted member of the processed,
fast food generation. I ate Big Macs, Velveeta Cheese and Hamburger
Helper. I survived four years of college on Top Ramen and Cup O Noodles.
I put no other thought into what I ate other than whether it tasted
good. And like most Americans, my taste buds were masked under an
assault of processed fat, sugar and salt.
I'm happy to say that
over the past four years, I have woken up to food. To the importance,
joy and deliciousness of whole foods, primarily plant-based...of quality
ingredients that have been locally grown in healthy soil without
chemicals or synthetic proteins from genetically engineered seeds. To
the benefits of nature's own whole food fats, sweeteners and salts that
haven't been stripped of fiber, minerals and nutrients."
~~~
We continue to strive to work with passionate people who are changing the way people think about food. Keep up the great work Aleece!
Until next time -- May the SOURCE Be with You! SOURCE Local Foods ______________________ |
Apple Pie Green Smoothie
~ provided by Chef Aleece Green
smoothies are one of the best ways I've found for folks to add more
greens to their diet in an easy, tasty way. You can even sneak them in
for kids without them realizing it. :-) And we're the only restaurant I
know of in Denver where you can find one. - 2 cups spinach, kale or other leafy green - 2 apples, quartered (seeds included if you have a high speed blender - more nutrients!) - 1/4 lemon, peeled - 3 dates - 3 teaspoons raw agave, honey or sweetener of choice - 1 teaspoon vanilla or 1 inch vanilla bean - 1-2 cups water Place
all ingredients in high speed blender and blend 1-2 minutes. Garnish
with a fresh orange slice and enjoy! Always best fresh, but will store
in the fridge for up to 3 days. |

Making A Difference
Ollin Farms
Thanks to their growing partnership with SOURCE, Ollin Farms has been able to to expand wholesale production from their family farm, resulting in an additional couple acres of active farming (from 6 to 8 active acres).
Owner Mark Guttridge explains, "This year Ollin Farms will be increasing their production of specialty greens, tomatoes and carrots -
crops that benefit the most from our nutrient-rich soil. SOURCE
has enabled our small family farm to focus our efficiencies and provide
wholesale services in addition to CSAs and farm stands. Through
SOURCE, we are able to start building relationships with local
restaurants and grocery stores and provide competitively-priced high
quality specialty crops."
