A Splash of Color


Our old Packing House on Anaheim Blvd. is looking good this week with a fresh paint job.  The orange above the doors is finally orange again, after having been beige for decades.  No one likes beige oranges!


The whole building practically emits healthy rays of Vitamin C at you.  


Meanwhile, across the way at the soon-to-be Umami Burger, trees are coming in...


...and the Anaheim Brewery has a concrete patio at last!
We can't wait to see it all finished!

Come In To Our Parlor!

Make yourself at home, but don't touch anything.

One of the earliest homes constructed in Orange County -- the "Mother Colony House" -- will be open this Saturday morning, March 3, for public viewing. If you've never toured this little gem (built in 1857), here is your chance to step back in time and immerse yourself in Anaheim's agricultural history! Your family will love it too.

The Mother Colony House is located at Founders' Park in Anaheim, where you can also marvel at the gigantic Moreton Bay Fig Tree which influenced the Swiss Family Treehouse in Disneyland -- AND, of course, you'll be able to tour the stunning Victorian home nextdoor, the Wolke-Stoffel house, as well.

Free Founders' Park Home Tours are available from 9AM to 12PM on Saturday.
400 N. West Street, in Anaheim. Hope to meet you there!
