A mandatory Mendocino visit for Vegans is Ravens Restaurant located at the Stanford Inn where you can enjoy a brunch of vegan scones and savory toasted quinoa cakes served with tahini-topped organic kale sourced straight from their own onsite organic gardens.
The beautiful gardens that provide this extraordinary provender also have a rich history. It was on these grounds over a hundred years ago that Chinese laborers cultivated small plots of fresh produce and fruit to sell to area lumbermen. Today the site of the former “China Gardens” is dubbed “Big River Nurseries” and produces certified organic leafy greens, fruits and herbs tilled with French Intensive and Biointensive methods. |
