Mary Catering

HistorySince I was in my twenties, I dreamt of creating an uplifting experience where the communion with others, play, revelation, nature, our senses and food could all be delighted as one. I thought of backyards, picnics, deep discussion, home cooked meals with love and alchemy, music and education. A feeling of togetherness and magic. I catered here and there, worked in farming here and there. Had my eyes opened by permaculture and sustainable farming methods, the slow food movement, the localvore movement, plant communication. And I longed to make a difference by helping others reconnect with nature as our home, our ancestor, our livelihood. Food can be a bridge when experienced in its purity, close to the source. Several years later as I found myself in a transitional moment in my life it struck me like a lightening bolt. Its time! And Norman Tiedemann, my friend and amazing chef is the one who can help me make it happen. Since then, Norman has allowed this vision to come alive and has bSpecialtiesAt Source Caterers, we believe food is an experience that connects us to nature. It is sensual, alchemical, & spiritual.
