Our family harvests red abalone from our Pacific Coastline in Sonoma and Mendocino Counties.  Unfortunately, the state has closed the abalone season until at least 2021 due to the imbalance of our environment.

In the fall, we gather our local acorns in the ways of our ancestors.  After harvesting, we dry, crack, clean, and grind our acorn for acorn meal to share with others during celebrations and ceremonies.
