Managing Talent

Not so long ago, while imagining perfection, I envisioned a local artisan foods shop, featuring a butcher, a baker, a dairy farmer with raw milks and a cheese monger, a vegetable farmer growing organic heirloom varietals, a canner of vegetables and sauces, a fisherman (woman), and a select group of expert food artisans who depended on these local professionals for their ingredients. The vision included having all these amazing quality items sold at affordable prices in a grocery store setting available to the public 6-7 days per week.

Yes, I have been called a "Dreamer".

My manifest vision is called Delaney's located in "Old Town" Temecula. Delaney's is in it's first stages of becoming it's true self. Currently we are studded with a growing amounts of local organic produce, raw milk, pastured grass-fed meats, free range eggs and so much more. We actively seek more consistently available sources for these unique and highly valuable food choices. In our next evolution we are looking to add a butcher and a baker to our lineup. The butcher will feature locally raised grass-fed and pastured beef, chicken, and pork cut to order and we are asking Pastry Chef Stacey Willis to become our full-time baker. We hope you will watch and shop with as we press toward our goal of becoming the Marketplace every local community needs.
