FoodLove 1: Lola Milholland

A Portland, Oregon native, Lola Milholland's Umi Organic fresh ramen noodle dishes started with a workshop.  She took a week long noodle making tour with other ramen noodle companies and was hooked on the idea of providing the best noodle making kits people could make fresh in their own homes.  Most people don't realize what a creative space ramen noodle making can be.  There's a limitless amount of ingredients that can be added, and taking the organic angle is very new.  Raised in the culture of grocery stores, Lola's parents were involved in the food business and she spent much of her after-school time stocking the refrigerated goods and salad sections of a store; so she knows the business from the backroom.  Lola studied the Japanese language in school and bent toward the culture and food.  She blended that with the farm-to-school movement early on when moving back to Portland.  It was program that connected the farm meals with the local food producers and Lola took that early experience and mission into forming her company.  And her team is impressive, including experience in Wall Street banking and startups, and growing the largest  organic farmer-owned cooperative."Masoni and Marshall the meaningful Marketplace" with your hosts Sarah Masoni and Sarah MarshallWe record the "the Meaningful Marketplace" inside NedSpace in the Bigfoot Podcast Studio in beautiful downtown Portland.Audio engineer, mixer and podcast editor is Allon BeausoleilShow logo was designed by  Anton Kimball of Kimball DesignWebsite was designed by Cameron GrimesProduction assistant is Chelsea Lancaster10% of gross revenue at Startup Radio Network goes to support women entrepreneurs in developing countries thru kiva.org/lender/markgrimesListen to the "Masoni and Marshall the meaningful marketplace" live on-air every Friday at 9:00am pacific time on Startup Radio Network at startupradionetwork.com

#45 From Farm, to Noodle, to You - Lola Milholland, Umi Organic

“In this humorous paean to the joys of food, the main story is about trucker Goro, who rides into town like a modern Shane to help Tampopo set up the perfect noodle soup restaurant. Woven into this main story are a number of smaller stories about the importance of food, ranging from a gangster who mixes hot sex with food, to an old woman who terrorizes a shopkeeper by compulsively squeezing his wares.”  (Reid Gagle, IMDB) This week's guest:Lola Milholland is a creative food event planner and award-winning writer and multimedia producer. A Portland-native, she studied Japanese language and culture since kindergarten, first in the Portland Public Schools and later at Amherst College and Doshisha University. Before launching Umi, she worked at the nonprofit Ecotrust for eight years on regional food and farming issues and as assistant editor of Edible Portland magazine. This week’s links:Umi OrganicShizuku RestaurantMississippi RecordsPortland Mercado
