Our ETHOS

With a lifelong passion for vibrant, healthy living, and fond memories of growing up in a family environment where there was always something simmering away on the stove, Annette has always been inspired to live life in a way that pairs nourishment with nurturing in a way that encourages ease and ultimate enjoyment. Gatherings around the table to share a meal are some of her fondest memories and are the inspiration behind her efforts to promote a sense of gathering and connection within the community.

Her earliest memories are in the kitchen tugging at her German grandmother’s apron to see what the latest baking project was. And ironically, that sticky gooey mixture on the counter is the impetus for what she relies on today in many of her baked goods, a sourdough starter!

She believes that history and tradition meets the present in a way where people now understand the answer to a healthy existence; we need to be mindful of the seasons and our portions; we need to incorporate foods that feed our gut for not only digestibility but, as we know now, optimal brain health. And we need to find a way to continue to gather and keep the human connection alive. In these days where everything about life is hectic, it’s important to find a quiet space in time each day to look around and behold whats always been there.

After working in the food and wellness industry for many years, Annette has opened the brick and mortar of her life-long manifestation, Crisp Kitchen & Juice. A food and lifestyle brand that celebrates fresh foods, simply prepared at the height of flavor and seasonality. And collaborates with like-minded artisans and entrepreneurs that promote creativity and clean, green living through their products.

As a graduate of The Culinary Institute of America (CIA) with a BA from Boston University's Hotel and Restaurant Management program, Annette ventured to the Napa Valley at the behest of the CIA years ago and has happily made it her home. Now with 2 children, a supportive husband, and a gentle and loving Golden Retriever, she took the plunge to start a business that encompasses her passion for food and her mission to share all her experiences to promote a lifestyle that creates inspiration and ease in this busy world!
