I took this image at the Certified Organic Farmer’s Market last Saturday. Looks like the number of vendors and farmers has seen a certifiably healthy increase.
However you can also buy from local farms direct, all week long. This Strawberry Farm is on Hwy 299E, just across from Intermountain Road in Bella Vista.
Strawberries figure large in the Redding area, and have been important since pioneer days, and no doubt long before that too.
A couple other favorite strawberry fields are on Bonneyview west of I-5, and another at the corner of Shasta View and Old Alturas Road. Oh, and shouldn’t forget the field west of Deschutes, near Foothill High School, and off Knighton Road at Churn Creek. Yum.
Our wet Spring conditions this year were less than ideal for the berries, but they remain a staple at our house. They’re Really Redding.

Fatboy’s Rotisserie in Redding is on Twin View Blvd. They have a great selection of barbeque and more, and 12 beers on tap.
The food is tasty and served in very generous portions. The pulled pork is my favorite. You can add all kinds of condiments to suit your taste.
They have a meeting room area too, as seen below, with a flat screen TV. Barbeque and beer. What’s not to like?

A News Cafe ran the 3rd and final installment of my Homebrew series of articles. In case you missed it over there, you can link to it at the image below.
And no, it has not been tested yet. We have a few more weeks in bottle before sampling. Darn it.
I went to Redding new Brewstore across the street from the library, and bought supplies to make an India Pale Ale.
The good folks at A News Cafe have agreed to run my beermaking story on their lovely website HERE. You can follow along in weekly posts as I attempt to make Igo Pale Ale.
Making your own beer is Really Redding. Really fun too, so far…
Announcing a new franchise Trailer Joe’s finally coming to the Hilltop area, bringing to an end the continual speculation of the “Buzz on the Street” guys in the Record Searchlight. Just today, there was ink spilled regarding how they just can’t get enough dried organic fruit and other snooty stuff at the Chico Trader Joe’s. Redding’s own Trailer Joe’s is expected to be where classy folks get some smokes and lotto tickets, along with a choice of two or three brands of brewskis or malt beverages.
Trailer Joe’s continues our community trend toward franchise box stores, and compliments the work of renowned area architect Cousin Gary.
Seriously, where were the “Buzz” boys when local Bry’s Market was clinging to life?
