Alan was introduced to pottery in 1965 while in high school. He fell in love with the feel of the clay and products he could mold with his own hands. He went on to Jr. College, then San Jose State University, each year learning more and more about clay, glazes, design and mastering the wheel. In 1990, after a career that didn¹t interest him, he established the company now known today as Architectural Ceramic Design and started production work. Living in the wine country, he began production of winery related pieces for the industry.

In 1997 he met Donna, who was managing a garden center nursery and making flower arrangements. That, along with her past entrepreneurial business experience, made a perfect union. They expanded into giftware, dinnerware, and gardenware, working together designing new items and brilliant colors.

After the piece is thrown by Alan, Donna adds the decorations and does the finish design.

Alan and Donna hope you enjoy their products, and hope to hear from you.

Bovolo is a salumeria, gelateria, enoteca, & pizzeria. Bovolo is the Italian word for a type of snail, the symbol of the SLOW FOOD movement, Italy's response to the arrival of a McDonald's at the bottom of the Spanish Steps in Rome. It is a movement to get people back to growing their own food, making foods by hand, and eating together. The food at Bovolo is all made with that intention, 'slow food… fast.' John Stewart cures all his own salumi and bacon and makes his own hand crafted gelati. Bovolo also features ice cream sandwiches, bon bons dipped in Scharffen Berger chocolate, and thin crust pizzas (breakfast pizzas too!). Wines are served by the quartino, a 1/4 bottle carafe and choose from 3 just picked fruit bellinis or sip down a bellini float. Bovolo has been featured in San Francisco Chronicle, San Francisco Press Democrat, Sunset, Food & Wine, Travel + Leisure, USA Today, Food Arts, & San Francisco Magazine, to name a few. Bovolo opens for breakfast at 9am, serves a fantastic lunch both indoors and on its delightful outdoor patio, and stays open for dinner Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Since they imported olive trees from Italy nearly 20 years ago, Ridgely Evers and Colleen McGlynn have pursued their passion for producing great ingredients, whenever possible directly from their farm.

Their estate extra virgin and meyer lemon olive oils have won countless awards and are the first choice of many of the country's best chefs. Starting from that foundation, they have added Pollo Rosso ('Chicken Red') red wine, a favorite on some of the Bay Area's top wine lists, as well as handmade jams and preserves, olive oil soap and cosmetics, herbs and spices, and more.

All of these products are available to taste and sample at Plaza Farms.

Supper offers unique, hard-to-find pantry items, including Himalayan Salt Plates, Verjus, and more.
