  • Where Real Food Begins

    It only ever feels right to begin at the beginning. Hello, my name is Courtney. I run Prema Farm north of Reno, alongside David, my partner in love, soil, and daily existential crises. We stepped into stewardship of Prema two seasons ago, inheriting it from our friends Zach Cannady and Kasey Crispin.

  • Whiskey Tribute

    Team Whiskey was founded in 2019 to honor Mary Glass-Stang, who courageously battled ovarian cancer. Her surviving husband, Kevin Stang, and their son, Justin, of Gardnerville built the brand around a phrase coined while supporting her during treatment, one that brought laughter and unity during a difficult time.

    Flutter & Buzz Café landed on Genoa’s Main Street in fall of 2024. Eighteen months later, the modern café is thriving, offering the community whole foods with local roots and a gathering space just for them.

So when Marco and Lynette Brown and Bill Green were approached about relocating their Reno restaurant, Marcolino’s Italia, to the former Rapscallion building in Midtown Reno, they knew it was an opportunity of a lifetime.

  • Editor’s Letter

    Do you dream of a lush edible garden right outside the door, brimming with your favorite fruits and vegetables? It’s so fulfilling to pluck from your own vines of fresh grapes; trees full of apples, plums, cherries, and peaches; and vessels of veggies and herbs. Of course, it’s not all roses. Each year, we run into gardening challenges. A freeze kills the fruit tree blooms, birds eat the grapes, squirrels find the snap peas, and insects (especially those pesky aphids) decimate the rest.
