Welcomes New Owners

From trading kefir cultures with Polish friends, to sourcing rye berries for sourdough starters, Erica and Daniel Landerson share a lifelong passion for delicious and healthy food. The making of it. The eating of it. The sharing of it. Baking traditional breads and fermenting local produce into kimchi and sauerkraut, Erica and Daniel have always dreamt of starting a food related family business together. Their love of food is only rivalled by their love of the mountains and the outdoors, which is how they met. After starting their family in Germany, followed by living in Boston, they found their home in the Wood River Valley where they live with their two boys. With Erica's background founding a women's trail running retreat and co-owning a women's adventure travel company and Daniel's passion in the kitchen, they are excited to continue the legacy of wholesome from-scratch food and superb customer service that the founding team established at Café Della. The popular offerings will remain the same, and once Daniel has perfected the ever-elusive German rye breads of his upbringing, you may find new additions on the menu.

Influenced by Daniel's family of organic farmers in Germany, Erica and Daniel have a deep appreciation for the land, seasonal cycles, local sourcing, and sustainable farming, which in turn, they believe, produces the tastiest and most nourishing ingredients. Della’s kitchen and market are stocked with ingredients from local producers and farmers, such as Itty Bitty Farms, Peters Family Farms, Hillside Grain, Two Rivers Smoked Fish, Wood River Ranch, 5Bison, and more.

Erica and Daniel invite you to Della’s warm atmosphere. Catch up with a friend, grab a delicious breakfast, or pick out a unique treat from the thoughtfully curated food and wine market.
