Limoneira Sheep Raps About Clean Energy In New Video

Limoneira is hoping to connect with a younger audience and promote clean energy with a new video that mixes fun with science. The video was recently featured on ANUK (And Now You Know), one of the produce industry's important media channels. It features a Limoneira sheep rapping about solar power and the company's commitment to clean energy. Sustainability is an important topic, and the Company wanted something a bit more light hearted that could connect with a younger audience too. The video allowed Limoneira to bridge that gap and cover a serious topic, but in a fun way that everyone can appreciate.

Limoneira regularly strives to teach children about the produce industry and what goes into growing the food that they all enjoy every day. Limoneira partners with SeeAg (www.seeag.org ) and schools to give school kids the opportunity to tour Limoneira's facilities in order to teach them a bit more about its day-to-day operations. Every year hundreds of kids tour Limoneira ranch, learning where their food comes from, getting a close up look of Limoneira's solar orchard, and even meeting Limoniera's sheep first hand (the sheep graze among the panels to provide natural weed abatement). The kids love the tours and it really helps Limoneira as a business connect with the kids on a personal level.

Limoneira Mixes It Up With Brian Leon From Nobu Malibu And Regina Schauerte From Blackbird In San Francisco - New Limoneira Mixologist Opinion Leaders

BlackBird is a great San Francisco neighborhood bar with an extensive craft beer choice, wine pours, an encyclopedic back bar and gorgeous cocktails. Regina Schauerte is one of the talented bartenders and believes that ingredients for a good bartender are equal parts empathy, patience and a sense of humor. Her humility and down-to-earth quality belie her extensive knowledge of her chosen craft. Asked about her favorite drink to make, Regina says that "all of our drinks are pretty labor-intensive. A lot of muddling, shaking, stirring are involved. I came up with a new drink which has gin, quince jam, lemon, celery shrub and topped with pilsner beer. It's fresh and vibrant". Regina also notes that good watering holes add a positive dimension to society and say's "sometimes I fear technology is keeping people disconnected. Places where you can drink and share a good laugh, or cry, will hopefully keep human interaction alive". www.blackbirdbar.com. Regina and her husband are also planning an exciting new cocktail catering and consulting company, called SipCraft. Stay tuned for more information!

General Manager Brian Leon surveys the evening buzz at the 6,800 square foot jewel that is Nobu Mailibu. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer stunning vistas of 180� coastline and blue Pacific waves dramatically crashing on the beach. The place is packed, yet serene. Diners are enjoying pre-dinner cocktails on ocean side daybeds and a warm glow of an outdoor fireplace. The sun is just beginning to set and twinkling stars become ever more magical against an inky sky.

After eight years of working for Nobu, Leon has seen quite a bit, especially given the heady atmosphere of Malibu. Regulars like Robert Downey Jr., Courteney Cox, Mel Gibson, Nicole Richie, and Pink love the vibe and "Paparazzi-free" calm. They also love Executive Chef Gregorio Stephenson's tiradito, black cod with miso, and mini-tacos. "We tend to stick to the staples every time we go," says Rande Gerber, who has been frequenting Nobu with wife Cindy Crawford for more than a decade.

In addition to Leon's capable management of this well oiled machine, he's a talented mixologist and enjoys the creativity of conjuring up new concoctions. He notes that "it's relaxing and enables me to be inventive". As he looks out past the crowd at the setting sun, you can see that he's completely in his element. www.noburestaurants.com/malibu.
