| After a Pandemic-Pivot, Chef Turns Farm-Fresh Ingredients into Artisan Pasta |
In 2020, chef and owner Tony Adams was a teaching chef in Sausalito, leading 200 cooking classes a year. Then came the pandemic. Like so many in the hospitality industry at the time, he found himself out of work and in need of something else to fill time. So he dusted off his vintage pasta maker and got busy making pasta.
From his Mill Valley apartment-turned-pasta-factory, virtual word-of-mouth helped Tony build the momentum to bring his budding pasta business to local farmers markets. Mill Valley Pasta Co. joined the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market at the end of 2022. He maintains relationships he’s built with local farms to create recipes that keep the focus on what’s fresh and local, putting only the best into his bronze-cut, air-dried pastas. |
