General Manager Georgian Moldoveanu says, “It’s no secret, you can buy or service a new Honda anywhere but you can’t buy the experience that our veteran staff will give you. We take ‘family owned’ to a whole new level. To us, ‘family owned’ doesn’t just mean one family owns our dealership, it means our employees are a part of that family, our customers are a part of that family. Our customers expect to see the same employees they saw when they first started doing business with us. That’s the way a family operates.”

Shottenkirk Honda’s recipe for success is simple: Adopt a “customer first” culture. Support your local community. Hire and train local employees. Invest in technology for your technicians, stock your dealership

with as many new Hondas you can get and have the type of used inventory that your customers want to drive. Follow this recipe and your customer’s will come back and tell their friends and neighbors AND will earn you the right to call yourselves the Best of Yolo County!

After 4½ years, Shottenkirk feels very much at home in Davis. Georgian is proud of the way that Shottenkirk supports local community,and school events. Georgian adds, “we want to be involved and invest in the communities that we serve.”

Davis Parent Nursery School has served generations of families in the Davis area dating back to its founding in 1949.

Even now some students at the nonprofit, parent-participation cooperative nursery school are the children and grandchildren of former students.

DPNS has two campuses in Davis — one on West Eighth Street and the other

on Danbury Street adjacent to Montgomery Elementary School. The programs offered include two-, three- and five-day sessions as well as playgroups, summer camps and after-school extended day.

“DPNS provides the opportunity to get involved through volunteer positions,” said Jamie Meier, DPNS board president. “DPNS is run by the parents, in conjunction with the directors and the district principle. For the last 74 years, the board of parents worked together to make policies and decisions that determine the trajectory of DPNS. Many of our parents continue on to serve on the PTA, and the Board of Education.”

That parent participation means DPNS has an unusually high classroom ratio of adults to students (one to four) and helps keep DPNS tuition low.

Moreover, DPNS offers a range of parent education opportunities, both on-site with professional teachers and through a variety of guest speakers and workshops scheduled throughout the school year.

us to establish this unique school where outstanding teachers work together with supportive parents to train students in Christian character and to help them grow in discipline, hard-work and responsibility. Given such training, our students experience the joy of excelling in school and meeting the high academic standards set for them. Grace Valley is a blessed place, and I look forward to seeing what God will do here over the next 25 years.”

By Wendy Weitzel

Special to The Enterprise

A community tradition since 1976, it’s no surprise that Enterprise readers voted the Davis Farmers Market as Best Community Event and Best Fresh Produce in Yolo County.

Year-round in downtown Davis, thousands gather each week to shop for what is grown, raised and made locally. For 47 years, the Davis Farmers Market has connected and supported communities, area agriculture, farmers and artisan food producers.

It educates the public about nutrition, sustainable agriculture, and the local economic value of buying food and products directly from the producer.

The market, at 301 C St. in Central Park, draws locals and tourists alike. It’s often a model for the thousands of farmers markets across the country.

Open year-round, rain or shine, the market offers an array of fruits and vegetables, including certified organic produce, meats, seafood, wine, local eggs and honey, fresh-baked goods, flowers, plants and gifts. Everything sold in the market is either grown by or made by the seller. More than 70 percent of vendors come from a one-hour radius of Davis.

Market hours are 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays, year-round. In spring and summer, it hosts Picnic in the Park on Wednesdays from 4 to 8 p.m., adding music, children’s entertainment and more food vendors. Picnic in the Park is mid-May through mid-September. The remainder of the year, Wednesdays feature a traditional farmers market, open from 3 to 6 p.m.

The nonprofit Davis Farmers Market Alliance also manages farmers markets at UC Davis, Sutter Davis Hospital and Sutter Medical Center in Sacramento. And the Davis Farm to School program provides

farm- and garden-based education, increases farmfresh foods in school meals, and reduces solid waste through recycling and composting. For more information, visit https//davisfarmersmarket.org or visit it on Facebook or Instagram.

Taqueria Guadalajara specializes in quality, freshness and execution of homestyle authentic Mexican cuisine. Since 1999, Davis customers have just kept coming; the taqueria serves an

average of 500 burritos a day.

“Thank you to all of our voters!” Hernandez said. “Your support means everything to us. Taqueria Guadalajara is honored to win the award for Best Mexican Food and Best Burrito.”

The Upper Crust Bakery Co. — Davis Enterprise readers’ vote for the top bakery in Yolo County — was founded by Mo and Trudy Kalisky. Both native New Yorkers, they came to Davis as graduate students in 1970 and quickly discovered that there wasn’t much in the way of good bread available. Mo began making baguettes at home, bringing his scientific background to bear upon age-old baking traditions. By the mid-’80s, the couple had rented a small baking facility and started providing artisan breads and

traditional East Coast Jewish deli-style baked goods to Davis- and Sacramento-area restaurants and specialty food shops, and were among the first non-farm vendors at many local farmers markets.

In 2016 — after having lived in Paris for more than 14 years — Mo and Trudy’s son, Lorin, returned to Davis with his wife, Edith, and their two daughters, and took the baton.

Lorin, who trained with top bakers in the U.S. and France, brought an expanded focus on authentic French baking traditions and sourcing local ingredients.

In 2019, the bakery opened its flagship bakerycafé-boutique next to the Davis Food Co-op, in a location that many locals remember as the former Radio Shack. Then, in 2022, it opened a second location in historic downtown Winters, at the beginning of California’s scenic “Wine to Waves” route 128.

Each of the two locations offers something special. Davis features a Pizza Night each Wednesday. In Winters, by popular demand, Upper Crust makes doughnuts.

“Thank you for your support!” Lorin Kalisky said. “We are proud to serve the Davis and Winters communities, and the whole of Yolo County.”

In 1999, Sophia partnered with Gordon Langstaff, and Kevin Wan later joined the partnership in 2001, when the business expanded and added a bar. By 2004, Sophia

had departed to open her own ventures in Paradise and Chico, leaving Gordon and Kevin as the co-owners of her namesake business.

Kevin credits the “unique inner courtyard location, plentiful outdoor seating, and separated bar” for helping Sophia’s endure the shutdown months during COVID that had devastated many other restaurants.

Sophia’s contributes to the community through monthly fundraisers for different UCD programs, donations to school auctions and sports organizations, and support for the SPCA. Kevin is currently president of the Davis

Family owned and operated since the very beginning, Nugget Markets was founded locally in Woodland in 1926. Now headquartered in Davis, Nugget opened its first Davis store on Mace Boulevard in 1981, and their second Davis location on Covell Boulevard in 2000. Davis Enterprise readers sure appreciate the longtime retailer, voting it the top grocery store once again.

Founded by the father-and-son team of Will and Mack Stille, this Yolo County institution is still going strong with fourth-generation CEO Eric Stille at the helm.

“We are a family of dedicated people with a love of food and a passion for excellent service,” marketing director Rebecca Reichardt said. “We are committed to

constant improvement, our people, and most importantly, guest satisfaction. Our associates are our competitive edge — superior quality and great prices are just part of the bargain.”

Along with outstanding quality and selection, Nugget Markets’ dedication to world-class service is the icing on the cake. Nugget earned a spot as one of Fortune’s “100 Best Companies to Work For” for the 17th year in a row.

From checkers and courtesy clerks to baristas, bakers, wine stewards and more, the friendly and talented team is what truly sets it apart. “Powered by the love of food, passion for excellent service and commitment to quality, we strive to take care of our guests, associates and communities every single day,” Reichardt said.

In all, there are 13 Nugget Markets in and around the Sacramento Valley, and if you’re headed up to Tahoe or down to wine country, you can also stop by sister stores

Preethi Indian Cuisine restaurant celebrates its 12th year in downtown Davis as it wins Best Indian Food in the Readers’ Choice survey for 2023.

The Immareddy family has been serving “homestyle” Indian food in the Sacramento area for more than 20 years. All of the family’s dishes are made by Krishna and Nanda Immareddy, who started their business shortly after they married in India.

Nanda and Krishna’s kids, daughter Ramya and son Lalith, help out with the family business on weekends when the restaurant is busy.

Lalith says almost all of their dishes are

made in a South Indian style. Whether it’s the spices, or the dishes, everything is made fresh in the family’s kitchen.

Paneer (Indian cheese) is handmade by Krishna; Nanda makes the tandoori-style naan, along with chicken tikka. But this is just a preview of the many other homemade creations that Preethi Indian Cuisine offers.

“Making a profit is not nearly as important as making the customers happy,” Nanda says. “If they’re not satisfied with something at Preethi, we simply don’t charge them.”

Starting in April, Preethi Indian Cuisine will offer a once-a-week special buffet, and a South Indian buffet on the weekend.

The Crilly family opened Zia’s Delicatessen in 1995, started by parents Anne Marie and Kevin Crilly, after relocating to Davis from the Bay Area. The San Francisco natives missed their neighborhood deli.

Anne Marie’s father and grandfather both had their own butcher shops in San Francisco. Anne Marie was accustomed to being behind a meat counter where you might say she grew up.

The Crilly children, Angela and Jonathan, grew up behind the counter, and from a young age, they learned from

their parents how to successfully run the family business. In 2022, Anne Marie and Kevin retired, and Angela and Jonathan took over ownership.

Zia’s Delicatessen caters, so your next business meeting or family party needs can be stress-free.

The family knows there are many shops that specialize in sandwiches in Davis and they want to say, “Thank you to our loyal customers for voting us Best Sandwich. We want to thank the community for their loyal support, and for voting us best sandwich,” Jonathan said. “We will continue to strive, just as our parents did, to provide the best quality food and service to our customers. We look forward to serving our community for decades to come!”

Founded in 2002, Berryessa Gap Vineyards is a family-owned, award-winning winery based in Winters. The vineyard flanks the California Coastal Range adjacent to nearby Napa and Solano counties. The characteristics of the land, which is similar terroir to the warmer and dryer climate of the Mediterranean, favor the production of fine red and white wines including barbera, malbec, petite sirah, syrah, tempranillo, zinfandel, albariño, sauvignon blanc and verdejo. The winery produces 8,000 cases annually. In recognition of that quality, Davis Enterprise readers voted Berryessa Gap the top winery in

Yolo County.

“Berryessa Gap Vineyards wants to wholeheartedly thank our customers and wine club members who voted for us,” said Carey Bettencourt, vice president of sales and marketing. “We are honored to be named a 2023 Readers’ Choice award winner!”

Berryessa Gap has two tasting rooms in Winters — downtown and at our winery. It also has the first tasting lounge dedicated to apéritifs with its L’Apéro les Trois brand.

“We are unique in that our founders own Martinez Orchards, a premium, industry-regarded grapevine nursery that has served premier Napa and Sonoma wineries and vineyards since 1969,” Bettencourt said. “We have a familial and company continuity of experts that propagate our grapevines, plant and care for our vineyard, and make our wines, which is unique in our industry.”

The winery is part of the movement to make the scenic Highway 128 a wine lover’s favored journey to visit the amazing wine growing regions in Yolo, Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino counties.

Olive Drive Barber Shop started up in 2011. “In the beginning, I only had three customers per day,” owner Lily Olson told The Enterprise. “This lasted six months. It slowly ramped up to nine per day. It grew from there to dozens per day until COVID hit.”

The shop focuses on providing excellent hair cuts for men, women and children. They only do clipper cuts, scissor cuts and beard trims. They don’t take appointments, but customers are free to walk in any time. Olson says they serve many regular clients and especially cater to college students.

“During the early COVID period, the

state shut all barber shops down completely that times — that was a very rough period,” Olson said. “Things slowly recovered and now we are growing again. We have always been in the same, easy to access, location, across from In-NOut Burger on Olive Drive. Today we have four barbers and look forward to continuing to grow the business.”

Kids often get a surprise visitor. Tofu, a Pomeranian dog, is practically one of the staff. He is very friendly and loves people, especially the little ones.

“Our entire staff is state licensed and experienced,” Olson said. “I only hire the best. Every year prior to this year, we were voted No. 2 in Yolo County and are proud to have earned the No. 1 spot this year.”

I am also trained as a counselor and can listen deeply to your physical concerns. Sometimes patients are confused by a diagnosis or medical information.

Founded on the idea that everyone should have access to dance, MIDC proudly fosters a fun dance environment where everyone is welcomed with open arms: All body types, ethnicities, genders, socioeconomic statuses, and experience levels. Everyone.

It took over its current location in the fall of 2019, just a few months before the pandemic began. Even through the pandemic, MIDC was able to continue to provide world-class education in a safe way. “We built an outside stage and continued to connect with our young people,” Spivey said.

“We are excited to announce that we will be expanding our dance space to include another dance studio starting in fall of 2023,” Spivey said. “Not only with this new space will allow us to serve adults, but MIDC is also thrilled to offer classes for our local youth with disabilities. This new program, Pure Joy, will launch in fall 2023.”

Some things that make Mirror Image Dance Company unique are its competition team, showcase, work-exchange program, class offerings and world-class instructors. “Our competition team has no tryouts,” Spivey told The Enterprise. “We have found that if a dancer wants to compete and work hard — then we welcome them with open arms! Our showcase allows all of our dancers, competitive and recreation, to join forces and perform four shows in one weekend.”

In each of the past 11 years, Davis Dermatology has been voted the No. 1 Dermatologist/Cosmetic Surgery in Davis by Enterprise readers. Its goal is excellence every day with each and every patient.

“The last 11 years have been amazing,” said owner Dr. Earlyn Noll. “We have cared for over 12,000 patients, expanded to 10 treatment rooms, five providers, performed over 60,000 procedures, and now offer more than 36, industry leading procedures including skin surgeries, injectables (Botox and fillers), lasers, body contouring, hormone replacement

therapy, chemical peels, and facials. We also offer best in class, medical grade skin care products.”

Noll’s interest in aesthetics dates back to her younger years. At the age of 10, she was fascinated by cleft-lip and palate repairs that she saw in a medical book left out in the library. “The librarian, however, said I was too young to look at the book,” she said. When the librarian informed her mother, she checked out the book. “Today, I still enjoy looking at before-and-after photos, but now they are of my own patients.”

People often ask how Noll managed to become a dermatologist, have four children and open a medical practice. “I’m very honest and say that it wasn’t easy,” she answers. “There were and are many challenges. Over the years I’ve learned to see these challenges as opportunities to grow into the best version of myself. I am also very grateful to have the opportunity to do what I love.”

As the practice continues to grow, Noll and her staff are committed to exceeding expectations, remaining at the forefront of aesthetic medicine, and to sharing their knowledge and expertise with the community.

Barga says he appreciates the community’s support and looks forward to continuing to serve the community’s hearing needs.

For almost three decades, Sutter Davis Hospital has been dedicated to the Sutter Health mission of enhancing the well-being of people in the communities they serve through a not-for-profit commitment to compassion and excellence. In recognition of the hospital team’s resilience and dedication, readers named Sutter Davis as the best hospital in Yolo County.

What is now Sutter Davis Hospital began as Binning Memorial Hospital in 1968, becoming Davis Community Hospital about seven years later as part of an ownership transfer. When Sutter Health later purchased the hospital, it became an early affiliate of what is now a notfor-profit, integrated network of care that spans a large swath of Northern California. During the intervening years, the number of employees climbed from around 80 to more than 500, making it among the community’s largest employers.

The current Sutter Davis Hospital opened in May 1993. Twenty-five years later, in celebration of its silver anniversary, hospital and community leaders teamed up to announce the launch of a major new expansion of the hospital’s most heavily used services. That work is underway now, with the intention of welcoming the first patients into these

newly expanded spaces—the Family Birthing Center, Emergency Department and inpatient care — later this year.

Over those 25 years, much changed in Yolo County and beyond, and hospital leaders recognized that it was time to continue to evolve and grow with the evolving and growing community. The hospital has a proud history of serving the Davis area as part of Sutter Health’s integrated network that stretches back decades.

Teams there have delivered thousands of babies, established the hospital as a primary stroke center, been recognized nearly a dozen times as among the “Best Places to Work in Healthcare,” earned additional national recognition for excellence, quality and compassion, and built strong partnerships with organizations like the Davis Farmers Market, the Yolo Food Bank, Yolo Children’s Alliance and CommuniCare — all built on a philosophy of health and wellbeing that goes beyond treating illness and injury.

Just recently, one of these partnerships came to fruition with the grand opening of Paul’s Place, a first-of-its-kind multi-functional building that will provide needed services and a range of supportive housing to at-risk and homeless individuals and families living in Davis. Sutter Health’s commitment to match up to $2.5 million in private donations to support Paul’s Place is one of our largest investments in our Getting to Zero campaign, an effort that was launched in 2016 to find new ways to come together to better address issues of homelessness in the region. It is a welcome example of what can be accomplished when we work together and of the impact a true culture of caring can have on community health.

Stabler’s A-1 Appliance aims to provide the best service possible, and for that customer focus, the business at 548 Kentucky Ave. in Woodland has been named Best Major Appliance Store once again in the annual Reader’s Choice poll.

Owners Paul and Carman Stabler thank the community for voting their business No. 1. “We are grateful for the opportunity of allowing us to provide great service for the city of Davis,” Carman said.

Walter and Joanne Stabler started the business in 1961. In 1997 it moved from West and Main streets to the current

location, before Paul and Carman Stabler took over the business in 2005.

The Stabler family has experienced an even bigger amount of traffic after their move in 2020 to 548 Kentucky Avenue (just a half-mile down from their old location on Harter Avenue). The showroom floor is on a much more visible street that brings in locals and passersby alike!

As it celebrates 62nd anniversary, Stabler’s A-1 Appliance has stayed true to its mission: “We provide the best knowledge on major appliances and provide the best service for major appliances,” Stabler said.

She notes that many are surprised to learn that the company has been around for so long and that it’s on its third generation of appliance men.

Stabler says their success is due to their focus of providing personal service with a knowledgeable staff and that they service the appliances they sell.

Plus, they have a bonus customers may not expect: “We always have dogs here to greet you!” Stabler said.

Blake’s is family-owned and -operated and has been serving Yolo and Solano counties since 1973. It’s the oldest Lennox dealer in California, with one of the the oldest heating-and-air contractors licenses.

The company started working out of a barn on Road 96 for the first five years, with an office inside the house’s laundry room.

“After 47 years, when everyone else has changed to commissioned sales people,” Blake said, “we are still using non-commission estimators which in return saves our customers thousands of dollars.”

Blakes is the most-awarded Lennox Dealer in Yolo County. For 23 years Blakes has won the Centurion Award from Lennox for the top 100 dealers in the nation.

In addition, it’s taken the Circle of Excellence award for the top 40 dealers in the nation, the top one percent performer in Northern California, the 2009 Outstanding Achievement award for leadership, and the 2012 Outstanding Performance Award partner of the year from Lennox.

Creating unique landscapes and pools is not just about good construction practices: it also requires experienced, educated and creative design personnel.

That’s where Andy Gagnon Landscapes comes in. Gagnon grew up in Davis and graduated from UC Davis with a degree in environmental planning and management with a focus on landscape management. His design personnel live locally and know the unique design challenges in the Davis/ Woodland soils and water. Some have been with him for over 20 years.

Since its beginning in 1979, the Davis company has created multiple award-winning landscape designs recognized through the Sacramento chapter of the California Landscape Contractors Association.

The company’s goal is to create and install any type of feature in the outdoor environment that clients and designers dream up. And since Cricket Pools was added to the business in 1997, “we are the only local company that can provide clients with a one-stop shop for all their outdoor construction needs.”

The company also invests in the community. Over the years, Andy Gagnon Landscapes has donated labor, materials and equipment to help install and improve many local projects, including four different Habitat for Humanity sites as well as parks throughout the region.

Family owned and operated for 40 years, Redwood Barn Nursery is a mainstay in the local nursery business and winner of this year’s Readers’ Choice Award for best nursery.

“Forty years helping folks create wonderful gardens and landscapes in Davis!” owner Don Shor enthused. “When we built our barn (literally: we had a barn raising right there on Fifth Street) we were on the edge of town!”

Since 1981 the nursery has focused on quality, selection and service. And they look to make more informed gardeners; an informed customer gardens more sensibly, more sustainably and more successfully.

“Consumer tastes change,” Shor said,

“whether it’s the current surge of interest in houseplants or the the huge popularity of vegetable gardens and fruit trees through the pandemic, or a renewed focus on drought tolerant climate-adapted plants for our region.”

Advice can be found on-site, as well as in Shor’s regular gardening column in The Davis Enterprise, which he’s been writing for more than 20 years, and in a garden talk show on KDRT-LP, which Shor and Lois Richter have been doing since 2005.

Shor takes pride in reaching a new generation. “This is where your grandma brought me when I was your age,” is one of his favorite things to hear.

Born and raised in Davis, Jerry Lucas started his roofing business in 1992 after working in the industry for more than half a decade.

“It just took off,” Lucas said. He credits his success on his long-term employees Oscar Jiminez — a 20-plus year veteran of the business — and his sons Brian and Gio Jiminez.

“If I do a roof for someone, as long as a tree doesn’t fall on it, and it gets a leak even after the warranty ends, I have no problem taking care of it for them, no charge,” he said. “I won’t let you down.”

Working mainly in the Davis, Woodland

and Dixon area, Lucas offers all types of roofing, including replacement, inspection, dry rot repair and gutters on new construction.

Lucas builds his roofs under California Title 24 standards using TPO materials that are more reflective and better for the environment, he said. One thing that makes him stand out is that he’s “very personable and takes [his customers’] satisfaction personally.

Enterprise staff

“Sounds trite, but I love our company,” said Chris Soderquist, owner (with John Walter and Harry Horner) of RepowerYolo. “Every day we have the fortune and responsibility of helping community members harvest the sun and generate inexpensive, clean energy.”

Since its inception in 2014, Soderquist says Repower has helped more local homeowners go solar than any other (local or national) solar company. In 2022, its business doubled — they helped more than twice as many homeowners go solar. “Since we do not advertise, market or employ salespeople,” Soderquist said, “we are thankful for the trust homeowners

place in Repower. In total, we have helped more than 900 property owners in our community go solar.”

Repower’s purpose is simple: to simplify the process, improve the quality and reduce the cost of going solar for Yolo County property owners. It have a triple bottom line: When property owners go solar, they reduce PG&E costs, shrink their carbon footprint and support the community (through Repower’s YoloShines program, whereby they donate $250 to each property owner’s favorite local nonprofit).

What’s next? “As PG&E’s rates continue to escalate, climate change intensifies, and the grid’s destabilization worsens, we believe solar will play a more meaningful role in strengthening the resilience and sustainability of our community. That’s cool.”

Past accolades include the city of Davis’ 2018 Environmental Recognition Award, NextDoor’s No. 1 rated solar company in Yolo County, and seven years being honored as the #1 solar company in Yolo County. YoloShines has made more than $200,000 donations to local nonprofit s.

Kim Eichorn Most Effective Volunteer

Most Effective Volunteer Second — Aaron Wedra Third — Heidy Kellison

Enterprise staff

In a community of volunteers like Yolo County, it is a remarkable honor to be recognized as the “most effective” community volunteer. And there is no shortage of worthy causes, either.

Nonprofit and advocacy organizations focused on everything from preserving habitat to rescuing abandoned dogs to feeding families in need all thrive thanks to local residents generous with both their time and money.

But few have likely contributed to as many different causes as Kim Eichorn.

A lifelong Davis resident, Eichorn entered the real estate business with her mom, Peggy Eichorn, who always bought her clients a gift when escrow closed.

But who really wants a vase from their real estate agent, Eichorn remembers thinking.

She began asking her clients to pick a charity to which she could contribute instead.

“I started doing that and it just felt so good, and a much more meaningful way to honor them than buying them a fruit basket,” Eichorn told The Enterprise in 2019. “There are so many amazing organizations and causes, you never feel like you can do enough.”

She also dabbles in hosting unique, philanthropic events when the opportunity arises.

“I recently hosted what I called a ‘Galentine Party.’ I invited a bunch of gals and hosted the event down at the Davis Wine Bar where we had wine, beer and hors d’oeuvres. We featured a charity called Cancer Champions founded by a local person, Jennifer Miramontes. They just provide health, fitness, mindset and support to people with cancer and everyone’s touched by cancer in some way. We raised about $2,500 just from the people who came, and we donated it all,” explained Eichorn.

“The Galentines Party is a good example of the kind of stuff I like to do. I like to mix hosting something then exposing my network of people to pursue something else like a non-profit or philanthropic activity.”

Even with her full-time job and litany of sponsorships, donations and other charitable activities on the side, Eichorn

maintains that acts of service and giving back are just who she is and the dialect of her love language.

“I’m not a big gift person, myself, even though my mom used to get a kick out of giving gifts. So, I thought about what was something that made me feel connected to the community,” said Eichorn. “My love language is acts of service and quality time, so I liked the idea of giving some of what I make to something bigger than myself and that would positively impact the community I live in. What it ended up teaching me was that we all do what’s comfortable for us. Some people are more comfortable giving and receiving gifts, and doing what I do just feels more comfortable to me.

One of the many hats she wears is as a board member for STEAC, the Short Term Emergency Aid Committee.

“Kim Eichorn has been a passionate and dedicated supporter of the Short Term Emergency Aid Committee (STEAC) and the needs of low-income residents of Yolo County for many years,” STEAC executive director Liane Moody told The Enterprise.

“She has served on STEAC’s Board of Directors since 2014 where she currently holds the position of Board Secretary. Kim led STEAC’s fundraising campaign that resulted in the successful purchase of a new office site for STEAC in 2018.

“She volunteers as a STEAC Neighborhood Coordinator for the STEAC Food Project, organizing her neighbors to donate food every two months to keep our food pantry stocked and fight food insecurity in our community. Every year, she organizes her fellow realtors in a hugely successful food drive, a coat drive, and a shredding event, all to provide basic necessities to neighbors in need. Her enthusiasm for STEAC’s mission, her calm and effective leadership, and her creative ideas have made a tremendous difference for our community.”

This was a momentous year at Davis Veterinary Centers. South Davis Veterinary Center opened 20 years ago in 2003. It was tucked in the corner of El Macero Pharmacy Center in a small, 1,500-square-foot space next to the hair salon and the future Taqueria Guadalajara. Dr. Michael Yackey started with four assistants. Dr. Bradley left her job in the East Bay as it expanded, and the practice added doctors in 2008 and 2011.

In 2012, the operation moved across the parking lot into its current space, which doubled its size and staff. And in 2017, Yackey purchased Davis Small Animal Hospital and opened West Davis Veterinary Center, which was rebuilt in 2019 and 2020.

“Please come by and visit our beautiful hospital,” Yackey told The Enterprise, “that we designed from the ground up with the point of view of a dog or cat in mind.”

There are now five doctors at each location helping to cover the schedule. The practice employ 15 registered veterinary technicians (RVTs) and 11 veterinary assistants, so it is fully intertwined in the fabric of the community. “We have been around long enough to see kids grow up and go to college and start families with their own dogs and cats,” Yackey said. “We truly enjoy veterinary medicine

and being a part of your families; helping adjust course when things aren’t going well and celebrating your successes when things are. We know that we are just a part of the team and appreciate that you trust us to help your furry friends.” They also appreciate how things change

over time. “One of the benefits of having smart students come to Davis is that we get to hire them for part of their lives,” Yackey said. “We have had many vet students work for us over the years. Twenty-four men and women got some practical experience to complement their learning at UC Davis and have gone on to become veterinarians. Many proud parents out there, for sure!”

Yackey and the team recognize that the world has been changing. “Never have we felt more stress than working through the pandemic,” he said. “We hope that demands have already met their zenith and life will be calming down. As health care providers, we were not immune from the difficulties of working through curbside and supply shortages. We appreciate your patience with us, and we know that you were under increased stress worrying about your pets’ health, and hope that we were able to relieve some of it. Our hope is that we all find ways to be kind, positive, and supportive of one another.”

“We’re serious about your fun!” say the friendly experts at Ken’s Bike-Ski-Board, and Davis Enterprise readers have once again voted them the Best Bicycle Shop. Co-owner Ken Bradford opened the store in 1988 with staff, equipment and clients from two older Davis businesses: Ski Racquet (since 1974) and Bike Surgeons (since 1980). It continues to grow, with major expansions in 1997-8 and 2004-5. The name was updated from “Ken’s Bike & Ski” to “Ken’s Bike-SkiBoard” in 2011-12. The store merged with local business Blisworks Bikes in 2019, and is now co-owned with Sheldon Blissett.

Ken’s sells and services (almost) anything with pedals and wheels — e-bikes, mountain and road bikes, commuters, kids bikes, recumbents and 3-wheelers to name a few. Ken’s takes care of your winter sports needs, too — from snowshoes to snowboards and skis, boot fitting to base repair — they’re a full-service snow sport shop. The staff at Ken’s have over 100 years of combined experience in everything from backcountry snowboarding to mountain bike repair — yet they delight in helping a beginner with their first real mountain bike, or helping parents get kids ready for the first day of school.

“The global demand for bicycles tripled [during the pandemic], said Bradford. “Demand for snow sports greatly increased, too. However, the market has changed as the pandemic subsided.

“Inventories are now high again. You won’t find the long waits or empty shelves you may have seen at bike shops in 2020 or 2021,” Blissett said. “We’re well stocked, prices are dropping and we’re ready to take care of you! Whatever the market does, Ken’s BSB is here for the long run.”

The Avid Reader was owned and operated by the late Alzada Knickerbocker and her staff for more than 30 years. In 2020, when the Arnold family assumed ownership, many of those wonderful staff stayed on and helped to keep the store running, and thriving, during the pandemic.

Erin and Brett Arnold have since brought on an array of staff who all bring their unique skills to the store, allowing The Avid Reader to expand their selection of books to highlight more voices; create events for local authors and creatives; increase their presence on social media; and work with other community organizations. The Avid Reader has a history of community involvement, and the collaborative relationship between the Avid Family and Davis at large has kept the store a pillar of downtown Davis culture.

“The Avid Reader Bookstore, and sister store, Avid & Co. aim to be a place where everybody belongs, promoting imagination, equity, and empathy in the Davis community through a love of literature and the promotion of play,” Sophia Fingerman told The Enterprise. “All of our branding and imaging has been created by local female artists for the past 30-plus years. The stores are family-owned and woman-operated.”

The Avid Reader has been honored to be the Readers’ Choice for best book and gift store numerous years. Including UC Davis alumni, children of alumni and students, the staff of the Avid Reader brings a variety of specialized skills and accolades to the stores.

Through its website, avidreaderbooks.com, customers can check stock in real time, order for pickup (often by the next day), and keep up with announcements, recommendations and social media.

Through its Instagram feed at @avid readerdavis, customers will find reels every Tuesday, highlighting new releases, as well as fun content from the staff.

As for the future, “We will be implementing Avid After Hours: Romance Reader’s Book Club, meeting the last Tuesday of the month to discuss books from the Romance genre,” Fingerman said. “Additionally, we have an expanding calendar of events, so make sure to check out avidreaderbooks.com for more updates.”

Enterprise staff

Kind Farma, which opened its doors on Sept. 19, 2019, earned the trust of the community, placed as one of the best cannabis dispensaries in the Readers’ Choice voting for 2023.

Owner Timothy Schimmel, a Davis native and medical cannabis patient due to an athletic injury, along with his partner Lacie, who suffers from epilepsy, chose Davis for their dispensary location as a way to provide a safe space for cannabis patients, cannabis enthusiasts as well as newer recreational customers in Tim’s home town.

A hidden gem popular with locals, since Kind Farma’s doors opened, it has proudly received six first-place awards as voted on by the public. With expert staff in place, Kind Farma is successfully navigating through an industry in its infancy while simultaneously normalizing cannabis.

Kind Farma offers a Customer Appreciation Day every second Saturday of the month. Home of the $5 menu, it offers unheard of savings unmatched by any other dispensary in the region. “We also offer punch cards to earn 25% off entire order as well as multiple discounts such senior, vet, student and first time-timer,” general manager Jennifer Marston told The Enterprise.

All staff receives regular “budtender trainings” from the brands it carries, so they may give the customer as much knowledge about their favorite products as possible. “We are working on a way to showcase legacy brands we carry,” Marston said, “as well as educate consumers on not just the roots, but the future of California cannabis.”

Bohème Used Clothing and Gifts was founded in 2012 by Dawn Donahue, and purchased by Yelena Ivashchenko in July 2015. Last year, the store celebrated its 10th anniversary with a party with customers and community. Throughout the years, the store has been adding new products, including repurposed and handmade items.

“Bohème strives to provide a fun and affordable eclectic mix of hand-picked clothing and accessories in the vibrant community and college town of Davis,” Ivashchenko said of her shop, “We focus

on repurposing and recycling ‘life leftovers’ while providing personalized customer service.”

The downtown Davis shop carries a variety of unique gifts and a large selection of used boutique-quality items for all different age groups and lifestyles. It also offers a unique “trade-in” process that allows customers to sell their items on the spot in exchange for cash or store credit (get paid now, and don’t have to wait for items to sell like traditional consignment shops).

Ivashchenko is honored by the Readers’ Choice win. “We are always looking to forge relationships with bloggers and collaborators that are passionate about second-hand fashion,” she said.

3rd Street Jeweler has been in downtown Davis since Jan. 10, 2007. Owner Frank Acosta is enthused about being voted Best Jeweler by Davis Enterprise readers. “Thank you to all my customers for your support throughout the years,” he said. “I really appreciate you. As always, I will continue to do my best to help you when you come into my store. I will always greet you with a smile, and a positive and professional attitude.”

Acosta says he fell in love with Davis in 2001 when he worked for DeVons. Originally, his establishment was on Third Street (hence the name) before moving to G Street in 2019. “Maybe we can move back to Third Street someday,” Acosta said. “But for now I am happy on G Street.”

3rd Street Jeweler is a full-service operation from jewelry and watch repair to custom designs. “Our specialty is custom designs,” Acosta told The Enterprise in 2018. “People come in with a design in mind, and we put it together for them, and create it in their style ... the project may involve hand-carved wax designs or CAD programs.”

“Come in and visit us!” he said.

“Better for who?” is the question Paul Taylor, owner of H2O To Go, always wants to respond with when people ask, “Which of their three staple products are ‘better?’”

As a single location offering, reverse osmosis, distilled and alkaline water, that some people are visiting for the very first time, it does make sense to ask.

It is the wrong question, however.

“‘What am I paying for,’” is the better one” Taylor said. “What you’re paying us for is service — reliability, access and support. We don’t have anything trendy in our store,” Taylor said. “What we sell is generally meant to last for years, if not decades. Over half of our sales are returning customers pre-paying for their next 100 gallons. Over the years they may need a new cap or have trouble determining the source of a pesky leak, that is what we are here for. We hope to answer your questions correctly and never sell you garbage. Nothing single use. We are always working on this,” Taylor added.

H2O To Go has operated in Davis since 1986. This year

marks the ninth year with Paul Taylor, the second owner, at the helm.

“I feel like I am just now rounding the corner to understanding what I’m doing. Our systems work well and have been tested repeatedly. I have had very low turnover since 2020, and rely on my staff to keep us running. When catastrophe strikes — we have thousands of plumbing connections, it strikes sometimes — we all know what to do and do it quickly.”

The current staff consists of an operations manager Claire, her assistant Destiny, and delivery drivers Isaac and Jonah who can fill in both on deliveries and in the store. Paul keeps regular hours built around his kids’ school schedule and steps

in to cover shortages as needed.

“The reality is many of the customers have been with the company longer than I have owned it,” Taylor admits. “In the early days, I used to joke that the customers largely trained the staff,” but with so many changes to the way the business is run, that is no longer the case. “We’re always changing something — always for the better. Which also always takes a few attempts.”

Amidst all the changes, Taylor adopts a “Be well / Do well” mentality. For the customers, the store, and for future growth, the staff’s well-being is always a priority.

“I don’t want to provide a job to somebody that they hate. Or, train somebody on a system that doesn’t work. If you cannot trust your staff and they cannot trust you, what is the point? We really have great people who keep us running at the best pace we have ever been. I don’t want to take that for granted.”

As the delivery side of the business grows, the challenges do as well.

“Knowing that local businesses struggle with their national brand delivery service because they never knew about us, is a problem,” Taylor said. “It is so hard as a business to disrupt anything once you have it set up. I sincerely understand the challenges.”

With an eye towards growth and stability, H2O To Go doesn’t really expect fewer challenges ahead, they just expect their ability to handle them will make it seem that way.
