Pantry Consults

Would you like to go into fall and winter with a stocked pantry, on budget? These are strange times, and the more we can do to build skills and resilience at home and in our community, the better.

Please feel free to skip any questions that aren’t right for our work together. All information will be kept strictly confidential unless you have specifically requested that we share it.

You can schedule a complimentary 10 minute remote question session here, to go over the process and ask questions.
In home Pantry Consults are 90 minutes long, and follow up visits are 60 minutes long, in downtown Sebastopol or remote. I’ll bring books and waiver forms along. No need to tidy or rearrange anything in particular… this is for you, to help you build a deeper relationship with your kitchen and your cooking flow.

The intake form below is only for use with longer appointments. For the introductory consultations, just take a look and think about how you would approach the questions.

The fee schedule is as follows:
* 10 minute free introductory consultation at the Occidental Community Farm Market on Thursday 7/31!
* 10 minute free introductory consultation online
* 90 minute in-home session: $250
* 60 minute remote follow up, downtown Sebastopol or remote: $80
* 90 minute follow up, downtown Sebastopol: $120
Sliding scale is available as needed by agreement.

The intake form is below; you can take a look to get a sense of the invitation. Please complete the form if you’d like to move forward with one of the longer sessions, either before or after the ten minute talk.

Thank you! May you be nourished.
