The Faux Food Group - Photo Gallery


The Faux Food Group of volunteers at Rancho Los Alamitos have created faux food for display throughout the ranch house. Their work pays tribute to Lydia Shinkle (1876-1960) who began cooking for the Bixbys in October of 1920 and prepared six meals a day for folks at the ranch using a wood-burning Majestic range.

Please click on the images below to see samples of their handiwork.
