Smart chefs recognize that quality produce creates quality
dishes and we think the smartest ones are the chefs who are buying their
produce locally and cooking seasonally.

Boheme Cafe
Here is a letter from Martha Lucius, owner of Boheme Cafe. Located on Pratt St
Dear Marianne,
I received your email address from Bill Rush this past week, he thought we
could touch base. Due in part to your article on One Straw Farms' Organics
Boheme Cafe has just started a partnership with One Straw Farm. We recognize
that organics do matter. We have been wanting to serve organic produce, and
we have been building an interest within our store, so mid-July Joan said,
"here, take these and start creating" as she handed a basket of gorgious zucchini,
eggplant, basil, purple, yellow and green peppers and sweet cherry tomatoes.
So, our "EAT GOOD FOOD" campaign is born.... Luke (our manager) and I are
creating great specials from our kitchen. On Tuesday we had an babaganouj
and black bean hummus wrap, and today we had a grilled veggie kabob with
a thai peanut sauce on the side. The kabob was so well received that one of
our customers came back, walked right behind the front line, into the kitchen
and hugged me! He was so delighted by the taste, the extra great taste of organics!
I would bet that we are the only Cafe, in B'more, that is daring to serve organic produce.
Certainly restaurants do, but a cafe, that is a bit off the cafe mission. We now intend to run the
EAT GOOD FOOD campaign all the way through Joan's season. Thought you might
enjoy knowing.
