Cathe Olson left her career as a Computer Systems Analyst in Quincy, Massachusetts to pursue a simpler, more natural life. She moved to California and studied vegetarian, macrobiotic, and whole foods nutrition and cookery. Cathe cooked at natural foods restaurants and delis in the San Francisco Bay and Central Coast areas of California before settling down with her husband Gary in the hills above Suey Creek, California where they shared a vision of building a farm and living off their own land.
After the birth of their first child, Cathe wanted to prepare her own baby food but the cookbooks she found used lots of refined sugar, refined grains, dairy products, and meat. She developed her own recipes, and her daughter thrived on a whole foods diet. Cathe has written numerous articles and newsletter columns on whole foods cooking and is the author of the booklet "Beyond Rice Cereal".
