This is a new publication which will be launched in the Summer of 2009. It will feature articles and photos of the great transition toward localizing our food in this county, highlighting the vital people who are making it happen in order to to strengthen the local food security movement in this county. We will feature chefs, recipes, leaders, bread makers, farmers, urban gardeners, various forms of farming.

This Saturday, September 19th from 9am to 12noon will be a work party to plant citrus and other edible crops in our Food Forest which is part of the Children's Edible Garden at the San Luis Obispo Botanical Garden. Please come and bring an edible plant to put into the ground for kids to see and appreciate into the future.

Comment by Tree Lees on July 23, 2009 at 12:04pm: August 1 and 8 Permaculture Workshops, 9am to 1pm. $10 per person at the San Luis Obispo Botanical Garden in El Chorro Regional Park. Hands-on workshops to help construct the Children's Edible Garden. Workshop fee will go back into the budget for more plant material for the children's garden. Snacks are included. We will be building a heart shaped spiral out of broken concrete and mushroom compost as well as installing plants and irrigation lines. We are creating a new landscape area north of the Oak Glen Pavilion that includes edible plants from around the world in a seven layer system called a Food Forest.Workshop facilitators include Jordan and Maleah of N'Credible Edibles and Josh Carmichael of Carmichael Environmental Landscapers.

Please contact Teresa "Tree" Lees, Education Coordinator (tlees@slobg.org or 541-1400 x304) to let her know if you can make either or both of the workshops. We could really use help, as "many hands to make light work." Donations of money and plant material are also being accepted to make this Children's Edible Garden a reality.

Comment by Melanie Blankenship on July 6, 2009 at 8:50am: Hi Bob,
Just a little note. Nature's Touch has been taking Food Stamps for the last 6 years. Farmer's Market only takes WIc checks. Please let people know that we take food stamps. At my store you are not limited because all we sell is food.

Fresh celebrates the farmers, thinkers and business people across America who are re-inventing our food system. Among several main characters, FRESH features urban farmer and activist, Will Allen, the recipient of MacArthur’s 2008 Genius Award; sustainable farmer and entrepreneur, Joel Salatin, made famous by Michael Pollan’s book, the Omnivore’s Dilemma; and supermarket owner, David Ball, challenging our Wal-Mart dominated economy.

FRESH is a call to action; it means to inspire its viewers to positive change, not scare them into a terrified complacency. We will bring together farmers, activists, chefs, and policy-makers, all working to create a more healthy, tasty, and sustainable future. Please join us, not just as part of an audience, but as part of a movement to better our food system, and to bring about a new vision, a new paradigm, a new reality, one that works for everyone.
