WELCOME! THIS USED TO BE MY RESTAURANT SITE BUT NOW….
YOU ARE JOINING ME ON MY NEW ADVENTURE, THE CHAPTER OF MY LIFE IN BISBEE ARIZONA.
WE MOVED TO A DIFFERENT PLANET
My name is Marsha Cassel and I lived in Western and then South Western PA for almost 58 years. I was born in Beaver County, PA, went to college at the University of Pittsburgh and lived most of my adult life in Allegheny County. In 2017 my husband and I moved to Avella PA and had a homestead. We lived in a geodesic dome thanls to the originator of such things, Buckminster Fuller and set up a small farm.
We brought our bees, rescued 6 abandoned chickens then bought a ton more at Tractor Supply, tapped Maple trees and made our own syrup, fenced in 14000 feet and started to grow lots and lots of produce.
We had a small orchard which included apple and peach trees and added pawpaws, cherries and pears.
We had grapes, honeyberries and gooseberries that were cultivated by the previous owners, and the land gave blessings of elder, blackberries and black raspberries galore. In the last year that we lived there, we planted blueberries and red raspberries.
A huge part pf me involves a passion for growing organic produce, and creating foods and confections for people that I love.
Another part of me is an interior designer, completely self-taught and spurred by roadside finds and thrift and consignment stores of all kinds. I have never met a second-hand store that I didn’t immediately love and claim as my own. Your trash is very likely a treasure for me. In fact, right now, I am seeking all your discarded candles so I can reinvent them as beautiful jar candles that tell a story.
I have moved to a town where desert shopping is a thing and most of this community is filled with old hippies who are living leanly and reusing, recycling and repurposing stuff!!!
There is rarely a dull moment in my life which is just how I like it!!!
We attend the school of life where there are continuous learning opportunities! Whether it be about the fact that our chickens lay less eggs in the winter, that the bees benefit from eating mushroom mycelium or learning we can grow great veggies in straw bales…..every day brings a new light bulb moment!!!
The purpose of this site is to share what I have learned about living a decently clean and natural life, spread the word about my little shop and eatery and provide entertaining and useful ideas.
Happy Clients
Marsha puts a lot of thought and individualization into every meal she prepares. She cares deeply about her guests and wants them to experience ‘food is love.’ Her restaurant never disappoints!”
Marsha creates scrumptious, nutritious meals that are pleasing to the most discerning of palates and the pickiest of eaters, mainly my two children!
Her tasty recipes all begin with her fresh farm to table philosophy. She seduces her guests with beautiful and creative courses that are all lovingly prepared with much of her own farm grown produce and homemade treats.
We have delighted in her creative menus which range anywhere from classic comfort food to the latest food trends and she customizes her service to meet the food requests of my family.
Cooking is indeed her passion and she has given my family a way to effortlessly gather at the dinner table and enjoy some of life’s happy occasions.
Last fall I hired Marsha Cassel to cater a private event for me at the Shephard’s Inn in town.
The occasion was for my daughter’s engagement party and themed Oktoberfest.
From the planning process to the shopping to execution of the event and the cleanup, everything was terrific. She was a joy to work with.
We needed a specialized menu as my daughter, her fiancé and many guests were vegan. Marsha was able to create a fun, delicious and nutritious spread that EVERYONE enjoyed. I will be hiring Marsha again to do the food for the wedding.
