Vic's Ice Cream

Vic's Ice Cream
Proudly serving Sacramento since 1947

Stepping into Vic’s Ice Cream shop feels a bit like walking through a time warp. From the checkerboard floor, to the smiling and friendly staff, to the vintage stand-up mixers behind the counter, Vic’s is every bit the idyllic fountain shop from a simpler time. This is no illusion or rebuild, however; Vic’s has been serving up sundaes and mixing malt shakes in Land Park since 1947.

Ice cream is obviously what they are known for here, and they…

Swoosh Gurgle-Gurgle, Fish and Fauna are doing well

By Innovative Farm,   Mar 16 2010
Aquaculture garden, including vegetables, herbs

IF, was begun by just asking a question. What if I? Today, I hear the swoosh of the water as it is taken from the holding tank to a grow bed filled with vegetables and herbs. Similar to a garden that you may see cut into the yards across the country or even the world.

The difference being this garden is 34 inches wide 8 feet long and contains fish being used to grow the plants indoors. The fish produce the nutrients the plants need to thrive. The water is t…

Opa! Opa!

Opa! Opa!
Greek and Mediterranean Cuisine

One point on food that just about everyone can agree upon - omnivores and  veggies alike - is that abundant flavor is a good thing. Bland food is for picky kids and broke college students (and even they've figured out how to make .50 cent ramen into a gourmet feast). Grown-up tastes need big time flavor; Phil and Mariann at Opa! Opa! know this, and they provide it in spades.

The menu at Opa! is big, and it's even bigger on quality. They serve some of the b…
