Guest guest Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 hi all I have been reading all the emails today, and usually I do not reply and do not try to promote my business through this channel. I have to say that I am extremely touched by your email stephanie and feel proud to part of such a wonderful supporting group of people. I shop at every place I deliver to and I eat at farmers kitchen when I visit my daughter in . Thank You all for your support, Hanna Kapitulnik Hanna Kapitulnik, Pastry Chef/Owner Kapcakes Gluten Free Bakehouse Palo Alto, CA 94306 Tel: (650) 494 8232 http://www.kapcakes.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Mariposa's web page has an online shopping feature, so if you go to the page and browse the items, you can select some to have them shipped to you: http://www.mariposabaking.com/index.html It might also be possible to encourage Whole Foods to stock more of their products. We've noticed a lot more GF foods at Los Altos etc. and maybe Mariposa products could be added as well, beyond just the brownie. You can also order online from Farmer's Cafe http://www.naturalfoodworks.com/ Of course, shipping is a problem, but if you get together with other Celiacs in your area and make a big order together you can save that way. - > > It's not practical for me to visit but if Mariposa published a list, I'd be happy to buy if they could ship > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in SF, and it has taken me months to simply " drive across the bridge " to visit Mariposa for the first time. Now knowing more about the business realities they face, I feel kind of lame for not supporting them earlier and more often. Can we use this discussion as a call to action to support those greater Bay Area businesses already trying to make a go of it? Perhaps our local vendors could add themselves to the Google map so we know who you are and where you are (if you have not already). Is it feasible (logistically, financially, etc.) for each member of the group to patronize one (or more!) of those local vendors over the summer?

What do you think? - From: seamaiden399 <seamaiden399 > Subject: [ ] Suggestion Date: Wednesday, June 4, 2008, 7:41 PM Personally I think the best thing we can do right now is really make an effort to support the businesses in existence like Mariposa and Kitchen Cafe, even if it means driving a little farther or ordering online and paying that extra shipping. The more successful those businesses are, the more likely it is that other entrepreneurs will get on the bandwagon. Unfortunately, right now it's a bad time to have a struggling business or start one with rising costs of supplies, but hopefully we can all hang in there until things get better. I think one thing companies can do to be successful and reach the biggest market is appeal to several different groups. If you can get those interested in healthy, organic food, vegetarian diners, and gluten-free diners that aren't being catered to elsewhere into your restaurant or cafe, the more likely you are going to be able to survive as a business. I'm not sure how effective it is to offer a lot of simple food that people could get or easily make at home, though, so I don't think it's too surprising that Farmer's Cafe didn't have peanut butter and jelly or mac and cheese. I should really go back one of these days- when the pasta is fresh it is absolutely superb. It's just hard to go that far. I have found their menu items somewhat erratic- some dishes, like their fresh pastas, are very good, but others are just ok. Some of their baked goods are quite good. - ------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 For those who live far away from Mariposa: Did you know that they do online orders? Perhaps you could co-op with other GF friends and put in a big order every so often – not as pleasurable as actually eating in the café, but it would support the business and you can get their great stuff and have a party dividing it up!

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 I personally think we should leave the emotion out of it. The problem with emotionally loaded terms like 'abuse', 'malpractice' etc. is that they give the doctors more ammunition with which to stereotype us. We really don't want them saying we're 'mad, middle-aged, women' like we have with Dan Brett etc. If this goes to a court of law, we have to come over as calm and rational as possible. That's why I think it would be better to go for emotionally-neutral terms. I still like UTP but I understand if the domain name is taken.

Of the three, that would be my preference, as well, which is why I listed it first. The words, " malpractice " and " quackery " may properly express the group's sentiments, but they are a bit over the top and might invite legal action. It is hard to argue with perceived " abuse.
