The best pork on Sacramento's plates comes from this regenerative ranch in Ione

Currently, Magpie Cafe is offering a dish of pork belly with pears, frisee, pickled onions and a sweet-spicy glaze. The fat on the pork belly is rich and unctuous; the meat is tender with a nutty flavor. Not all pork is created equal. How and where the hogs are raised, and what they eat, informs the final food product. This particular hog was raised at PT Ranch in Ione, about an hour southeast of Sacramento in Amador County. Run by Emily and Ned Taylor, PT Ranch is a regenerative ranch that raises pork, lamb, turkey and chicken. “PT Ranch started when my dad bought it when he was in college. That was in the mid ‘50s, and he had all these aspirations of raising bulls. About 15 years ago, we took over the management of PT Ranch, and really wanted to change practices, and that’s when we decided to get into the pastured meat business and follow a regenerative-style farming as best as we could,” Emily Taylor said Regenerative ranching is a land stewardship practice that strives for sustainability through soil restoration, water conservation and biodiversity. The practice relies on five main principles: no soil tilling, no spraying, rotational grazing,

PG&E warns of new power shutoffs in 7 Northern CA counties. See areas at risk

Pacific Gas and Electric Co. is warning that more than 600 customers in seven Northern California counties could lose electricity beginning Friday evening as strong, dry winds raise wildfire concerns, less than a week after widespread shutoffs left tens of thousands without power. The potential public safety power shutoffs could affect 644 customers in portions of Butte, Lake, Napa, Shasta, Solano, Sonoma and Yolo counties, according to PG&E’s latest estimates. But the possible outages are narrowly targeted, with the utility’s maps showing small, scattered areas in the northern Sierra Nevada foothills and remote sections of the Coast Ranges. In Butte County, possible shutoffs are concentrated east of Paradise and Magalia, around the Concow area. In Shasta County, the areas under consideration follow portions of the Highway 299 corridor near Round Mountain and Montgomery Creek. Closer to Sacramento, only small pockets of western Yolo County and Solano County near the Napa County line are at risk. The maps do not show potential shutoffs in Sacramento, Woodland, Davis or West Sacramento. PG&E placed portions of all seven counties under a PSPS watch for Friday and Saturday, meaning outages were considered likely because of forecast high winds and dry conditions. The utility said

Dolores Huerta kept fighting for farmworkers. I sat with her weeks ago and saw how much

When moving to California in June to cover food and agriculture for The Sacramento Bee, one of the people I wanted to meet was Dolores Huerta . I knew she was an important figure in the history of California, and in U.S. history, because of her lifetime of devotion to the farmworker movement. Huerta, who died Wednesday at 96, helped build the United Farm Workers union into a nationally recognized organization. That work, her work, shined a light on the deplorable conditions experienced by the workers harvesting our food in California. My first opportunity to meet her, and what turned out to be my last, came when I was invited to an August news conference in Sacramento about pesticide regulation. Huerta would be speaking at the event. Dozens of advocates and farmworkers gathered in front of the Capitol and chanted “Sí, se puede,” or “Yes, we can,” a phrase coined by Huerta. She was the oldest person at the gathering, and also the most revered. Attendees were eager to speak to her and take photos with her. Shortly after the news conference, she was whisked away by her daughter, Juanita Chavez. Chavez’s father was Richard Chavez, Cesar Chavez’s brother. The
