DESCRIPTION:Let’s Have a Apple Press Kick-Off Party\, You Apple Press Lovers!\nJoin people of the City of Sebastopol\, of the Western Sonoma County Historical Society\, members of the Press Corps\, Slow Food folks and other Apple Lovers for a festive opening of the 2016 Slow Food Russian River Apple Pressing Season. It’s the Sebastopol Community Apple Press Kick-Off Party! \nEmail us at SFRR Volunteerism <sfrrvolunteerism@gmail.com> to get an invitation. \nWhen: Thursday\, August 4th from 5-7pm. \nWhere: Luther Burbank Experiment Farm in Sebastopol. The Farm is accessed by car through its neighbor\, Burbank Heights & Orchards at 7777 Bodega Ave. \nWhy: To celebrate the opening of the free Community Apple Press. \nHow: Light food and beverages (including some delicious local hard cider) will be served.

SUMMARY:Film Night: Open Sesame – The Story of Seeds
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row type=”in_container” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]\nSlow Food Russian River Summer Film Night: Open Sesame: The Story of Seeds\nJoin us and our partner the Community Seed Exchange for an evening of film and fun—and meet one of the movie stars. That’s right\, Sara McCamant\, founder and director of Community Seed Exchange\, is one of the stars of the film and will share with us more about the film\, Open Sesame: The Story of Seeds\, and the important mission of her Sebastopol-based organization. (She says she has lots of seeds to share from their seed library of over 200 varieties of locally grown seeds!) \nIn addition\, you’ll get to enjoy pizza and salad (with seeds\, of course) plus complimentary tastings of MacPhail Family Wines and The Kefiry’s delicious probiotic beverages. Both companies will be selling full glasses for your enjoyment. \nWhen: July 14\, 2016   6:00pm to 8:30pm\nWhere: Fireside Room\, Sebastopol Center for the Arts\, 282 S High St\, Sebastopol\, CA 95472 Map\nWhat: Film + seeds + pizza + salad +MacPhail wine and Kefiry tastings – for only $12 per ticket. (All profits split between Slow Food Russian River and Community Seed Exchange.)\nWho: You! And tell your friends\, but don’t delay. We have a limited number of tickets available. \n \nThe Film: Open Sesame – The Story of Seeds\n“I really loved this film. It unlocks the door to the magical\, powerful\, and perilous world of seeds. It will open hearts and minds …” – Claire Hope Cummings\, award winning author of: Uncertain Peril\, Genetic Engineering and the Future of Seeds. \n“A touching and spiritual film that will no doubt encourage discussion about the future of agriculture…” –Yes! Magazine \nOne of the world’s most precious resources is at risk. This timely and emotionally moving film illuminates what is at stake and what can be done to protect the source of nearly all our food: SEEDS. Seeds provide the basis for everything from fabric\, to food to fuels. Seeds are as essential to life as the air we breathe or water we drink…but given far less attention. \nAccording to the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN)\, approximately 90 percent of the fruit and vegetable varieties that existed 100 years ago no longer exist today. Heritage grain is near extinction. Seeds that were lovingly nurtured over decades or even hundreds of years have been lost forever. Maintaining seed biodiversity allows us to breed new varieties that are resistant to pests or thrive in temperature extremes. This is essential in a changing climate. \nMeanwhile\, corporations are co-opting seed genetics using patent law. In the past\, seeds were communal. They were a shared resource not unlike the water we drink or the air we breathe. One hundred years ago things started to change. Today\, corporate-owned seed accounts for 82% of the world-wide market. \nIn this film you will meet a diverse range of individuals whose lives center around seeds. Farmers. Renegade gardeners. Passionate seed savers. Artists. Seed activists. This film tells the story of seeds by following their challenges and triumphs as they work to save this precious resource.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1/1″][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ipSKXP_7M4″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1/1″][image_with_animation image_url=”4169″ alignment=”center” animation=”Fade In” img_link_large=”yes”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]\nPartners\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1/2″][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1/2″][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]\nSponsors\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1/2″][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1/2″][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Book Group: Four Fish\, by Paul Greenberg
DESCRIPTION:The Slow Food Russian River Book Group will be discussing the book Four Fish: The Future of the Last Wild Food (The Penguin Press\, 2010)\, by Paul Greenberg. \nTo RSVP email the Book Group at sfrrbookgroup@gmail.com.  The book group is open to anyone who can read\, loves cooking a dish\, and likes a good conversation. You don’t need to be a member\, although – of course – we hope that with time you will become one. Location in Sebastopol with RSVP. \nThe Book Group meets the first Thursday of the month\, 7 – 9pm. It’s a convivial dinner. Please bring a dish for four and a beverage. \n*** \nAbout the Author \nPaul Greenberg is the James Beard award-winning author of the New York Times bestseller and Notable Book Four Fish: The Future of the Last Wild Food and American Catch: The Fight for our Local Seafood. A regular contributor to the New York Times’ Opinion Page\, Magazine\, Dining section\, and Book Review\, Greenberg lectures widely on seafood and ocean sustainability. His lecture venues include Google\, the United States Senate\, the United States Supreme Court\, the Monterey Bay Aquarium\, the New England Aquarium\, The Culinary Institute of America\, Harvard University\, Brown University\, Williams College\, Yale University’s Peabody Museum\, Chefs Collaborative National Summit\, SeaWeb’s Seafood Summit\, and Paine & Partners annual shareholders meeting. \nA guest and commentator on public radio programs including Fresh Air\, All Things Considered\, and The Leonard Lopate Show\, Greenberg is also a fiction writer. His 2002 novel\, Leaving Katya\, was a Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers selection. In the last five years\, he has been a National Endowment for the Arts Literature Fellow\, a W. K. Kellogg Foundation Food and Society Policy Fellow\, and a writer-in-residence at the Bogliasco Foundation’s Liguria Study Center near Genoa\, Italy. \nIn addition to his fiction and nonfiction writing in the United States\, Greenberg has worked extensively overseas with long-term assignments in Russia\, Ukraine\, France\, the Caucasus\, Bosnia-Herzegovina\, Serbia\, the West Bank/Gaza\, and many other locations around the world. His essays have been published internationally in The Times of London\, The Observer (UK)\, The Age (Australia)\, Süddeutsche Zeitung (Germany) and The Globe and Mail (Canada). Four Fish is forthcoming in Korea\, Taiwan\, Russia\, Greece\, Italy\, Spain\, and Germany. \n  \nGoodreads\nOur relationship with the ocean is undergoing a profound transformation. Whereas just three decades ago nearly everything we ate from the sea was wild\, rampant overfishing combined with an unprecedented bio-tech revolution has brought us to a point where wild and farmed fish occupy equal parts of a complex and confusing marketplace. We stand at the edge of a cataclysm; there is a distinct possibility that our children’s children will never eat a wild fish that has swam freely in the sea. In Four Fish\, award-winning writer and lifelong fisherman Paul Greenberg takes us on a culinary journey\, exploring the history of the fish that dominate our menus—salmon\, sea bass\, cod and tuna-and examining where each stands at this critical moment in time. He visits Norwegian mega farms that use genetic techniques once pioneered on sheep to grow millions of pounds of salmon a year. He travels to the ancestral river of the Yupik Eskimos to see the only Fair Trade certified fishing company in the world. He investigates the way PCBs and mercury find their way into seafood; discovers how Mediterranean sea bass went global; Challenges the author of Cod to taste the difference between a farmed and a wild cod; and almost sinks to the bottom of the South Pacific while searching for an alternative to endangered bluefin tuna. Fish\, Greenberg reveals\, are the last truly wild food – for now. By examining the forces that get fish to our dinner tables\, he shows how we can start to heal the oceans and fight for a world where healthy and sustainable seafood is the rule rather than the exception.  (Goodreads\, with many great readers reflections) \n More by Paul Greenberg\nThe four fish we’re overeating — and what to eat instead.

SUMMARY:Book Group: The End of Overeating\, by David Kessler
DESCRIPTION:The Slow Food Russian River Book Group will be reading the book The End of Overeating: Taking Control of the Insatiable American Appetite (Rodale Books\, 2009)\, by David Kessler. \nTo RSVP email the Book Group at Slow Food Russian River Book Group. The book group is open to anyone who can read\, loves cooking a dish\, and likes a good conversation. You don’t need to be a member\, although – of course – we hope that with time you will become one. Location in Sebastopol with RSVP. \nThe Book Group meets the first Thursday of the month\, 7 – 9pm. It’s a convivial dinner. Please bring a dish for four and a beverage. \n*** \nPublisher’s Blurb \nDr. David A. Kessler\, the dynamic and controversial former FDA commissioner (1990-1997) known for his crusade against the tobacco industry\, is taking on another business that’s making Americans sick: the food industry. \nIn The End of Overeating\, Dr. Kessler shows us how our brain chemistry has been hijacked by the foods we most love to eat: those that contain stimulating combinations of fat\, sugar\, and salt.\nDrawn from the latest brain science as well as interviews with top physicians and food industry insiders\, \nThe End of Overeating exposes the food industry’s aggressive marketing tactics and reveals shocking facts about how we lost control over food and what we can do to get it back. \nFor the millions of people struggling with their weight as well as those of us who simply can’t seem to eat our favorite foods in moderation\, Dr. Kessler’s cutting-edge investigation offers valuable insights and practical answers for America’s largest-ever public health crisis. There has never been a more thorough\, compelling\, or in-depth analysis of why we eat the way we do. \nGoodreads\nMost of us know what it feels like to fall under the spell of food—when one slice of pizza turns into half a pie\, or a handful of chips leads to an empty bag. But it’s harder to understand why we can’t seem to stop eating—even when we know better. When we want so badly to say “no\,” why do we continue to reach for food? Dr. David Kessler\, the dynamic former FDA commissioner who reinvented the food label and tackled the tobacco industry\, now reveals how the food industry has hijacked the brains of millions of Americans. The result? America’s number-one public health issue. \nDr. Kessler cracks the code of overeating by explaining how our bodies and minds are changed when we consume foods that contain sugar\, fat\, and salt. Food manufacturers create products by manipulating these ingredients to stimulate our appetites\, setting in motion a cycle of desire and consumption that ends with a nation of overeaters. The End of Overeating explains for the first time why it is exceptionally difficult to resist certain foods and why it’s so easy to overindulge. \nDr. Kessler met with top scientists\, physicians\, and food industry insiders. The End of Overeating uncovers the shocking facts about how we lost control over our eating habits—and how we can get it back. Dr. Kessler presents groundbreaking research\, along with what is sure to be a controversial view inside the industry that continues to feed a nation of overeaters—from popular brand manufacturers to advertisers\, chain restaurants\, and fast food franchises.  For the millions of people struggling with weight as well as for those of us who simply don’t understand why we can’t seem to stop eating our favorite foods\, Dr. Kessler’s cutting-edge investigation offers new insights and helpful tools to help us find a solution. \nThere has never been a more thorough\, compelling\, or in-depth analysis of why we eat the way we do. (Goodreads) \nIndigo Books\nIn The End of Overeating\, Dr. David A. Kessler\, former Commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration\, takes an in-depth look at the ways in which we have been conditioned to overeat. Dr. Kessler presents a combination of fascinating anecdotes and newsworthy research – including interviews with physicians\, psychologists\, and neurologists – to understand how we became a culture addicted to the over-consumption of unhealthy foods. He also provides a controversial view inside the food industry\, from popular processed food manufacturers to advertisers\, chain restaurants\, and fast food franchises. Kessler deconstructs the endless cycle of craving and consumption that the industry has created\, and breaks down how our minds and bodies join in the conspiracy to make it all work. He concludes by offering us a common sense prescription for change\, both in our selves and in our culture. (Indigo Books) \n*** \n• Talk by David Kessler at the Harvard Bookstore (video) on October 5\, 2010. David A\, Kessler\, former commissioner of the US Food & Drug Administration\, discusses his book\, “The End of Overeating: Taking Control of the Insatiable American Appetite\,” presented by Harvard Book Store. Kessler explains how the food industry manipulates the way we eat\, why it is exceptionally difficult to resist certain foods\, and why its so easy to overindulge. He also provides facts about how to better control eating habits. \n• Interview with David Kessler by Louise McCready Hart.

SUMMARY:March with Other Grav Lovers in the 2016 Apple Blossom Parade
DESCRIPTION:Walk with Us and other Grav Lovers in the 2016 Apple Blossom Parade\nSlow Food Russian River invites you to walk with other Grav Lovers in the 2016 Apple Blossom Parade. \nOur goal is to keep the Gravenstein Apple and all of our Farmers in the spotlight. As we celebrate our beautiful apple blossoms and anticipate a bountiful\, healthy harvest\, let’s come together in proclaiming “THE GRAVENSTEINS ARE COMING”! \n \nThe Sebastopol Gravenstein Apple is on Slow Food’s Ark of Taste. The Ark of Taste is a living catalog of delicious and distinctive foods facing extinction. By identifying and championing these foods we keep them in production and on our plates. \nGravensteins are in danger of becoming broadly extinct because of many reasons\, the most observable of which are their difficulty to harvest and the alarming loss of land\, as many orchards are being converted to vineyards or rural estates. \nContact person to join the parade Doug Conover\nPhone # during the parade: 707-217-7221 \nHere are the details\n1. We are group 1\, number 28. That is VERY different from previous years. We are literally moving up. Group one means we will begin marching soon after the 10:00 start so meet around 9:00 to 9:30 down High School Rd. \n2. Our staging location is different. We will gather in the 28th position down High School Rd. from Analy High School. The best drop off will be via E. Hurlbut. \n3. The group in front of us in position 27 is Sebastopol Historical Society pulling a trailer with a statue of Luther Burbank. Very cool. \n4. If you have any\, wear SLOW Food clothes\, shirts\, aprons\, hats and comfortable shoes.  If possible\, wear GREEN t-shirts and bring blooming apple branches.  If you wear a baseball type hat\, we will try to staple one of our Save the Gravensteins bumper stickers to your hat. \n5. Best of all\, since we are early in the parade\, we will be able to enjoy watching most of it when we are done. Parade ends at Calder.

Petrini was named a “Champion of the Earth” by the United Nations. and received the Sicco Mansholt Price for Slow Food’s contribution to sustainable agriculture. Sicco Mansholt was a farmer\, a member of the Dutch resistance during the Second World War\, a national politician and the first European Commissioner responsible for Agriculture.\nTo RSVP write the Book Group at Slow Food Russian River Book Group <sfrrbookgroup@gmail.com>.

It’s a convivial dinner. Please bring a dish for four and a beverage. \n*** \nPublisher’s Blurb \nInspiring the global fight to revolutionize the way food is grown\, distributed\, and eaten. In the almost thirty years since Carlo Petrini began the Slow Food organization\, he has been constantly engaged in the fight for food justice. Beginning first in his native Italy and then expanding all over the world\, the movement has created a powerful force for change.\nThe essential argument of this book is that food is an avenue towards freedom. This uplifting and humanistic message is straightforward: if people can feed themselves\, they can be free. In other words\, if people can regain control over access to their food—how it is produced\, by whom\, and how it is distributed—then that can lead to a greater empowerment in all channels of life. Whether in the Amazon jungle talking with tribal elders or on rice paddies in rural Indonesia\, the author engages the reader through the excitement of his journeys and the passion of his mission.\nHere\, Petrini reports upon some of the success stories that he has observed firsthand. From Chiapas to Puglia\, Morocco to North Carolina\, he has witnessed the many ways different peoples have dealt with food problems. This book allows us to learn from these case studies and lays out models for the future. \n*** \n• Review by Jonah Raskin\, on this Slow Food Russian River website.\n• Review by Rachel Jagareski\, August 27\, 2015\, on Foreword Reviews.\n• A Preview of Carlo Petrini’s Latest Book: Cibo e libertà (Food and Freedom)\, May. 21\, 2014\, by John Irving\, Slow Food Editore and translator of the book\, on the Slow Food USA blog.\n• Reviewed by Gretchen Wagner for San Francisco Book Review.\n• Featured as one of 10 new books that celebrate the beauty of freedom now\, on Beautiful Now. \n

SUMMARY:Wastecooking: Make Food\, Not Waste
DESCRIPTION:Slow Food Russian River is co-sponsoring the film Wastecooking: Make Food\, Not Waste at the Sebastopol Documentary Film Festival.\nSunday\, March 20\, 3:15-5pm\nSebastopol Center for the Arts\n282 S High St\nSebastopol\, CA 95472 \nWastecooking: Make Food\, Not Waste\nAustria\, 2015\, 82 minutes\nDirectors: David Gross and Georg Misch\nWebsite \n\nSynopsis\nA car that runs on used vegetable oil\, a mobile stove and a host of culinary ideas in his backpack: Wastecooking – Make Food\, Not Waste is an entertaining road movie detailing a journey through five European countries\, where the only thing on the menu is what others call garbage. David\, the host of Wastecooking – Make Food\, Not Waste\, whips up creative meals aimed at fighting food waste and our consumption-driven society\, and at the same time inspire us to search for creative solutions. \nDavid Gross travels through five European countries on a quest for treasure. According to the UN’s Food and Agricultural Organization FAO\, one third of all food produced around the world ends up in the garbage\, roughly 89 million tons of food a year in Europe alone. David seeks out places where waste happens and asks: How can we save food that would otherwise go to waste and transform it into delicious recipes? Austria\, Germany\, the Netherlands\, Belgium and France are all on the menu. \nOn his journey he rescues food from becoming trash\, and in every country he meets committed activists with ideas on how to combat waste. On board are gourmet chefs\, scientists and connoisseurs who team up to create sumptuous waste cuisine in protest against our consumption-driven society. David gets a look behind the scenes of the European Parliament’s cafeteria and even the refrigerators of everyday residents of the city of Salzburg. He cooks up a fresh bouillabaisse made from by-catch on a French fishing boat\, invites people to participate in a “Schnippeldisko” in Berlin and combs Mother Nature for edible delectables. All the while\, he compiles an innovative culinary travel guide with clever and delicious meals made from all sorts of rescued and collected food. With him on his journey is his trademark garbage dumpster\, which he rebuilt into a mobile cooking stove\, and his wastemobile\, which only runs on used vegetable oil. \nWastecooking – Make Food\, Not Waste is a biting self-experiment. It also offers inspiration for embarking on less travelled paths and getting to know and appreciate food from a different angle. And naturally for transforming it into creative dishes. \nA great insight into the topic of food waste in Europe is our Scroll Dok Wastecooking. On the Wastecooking Facebook-page you find great initiatives and links about the topic as well as wastefood-recipes. \n\nIn German with English subtitles.\n\n\n\nHelpers at the Schnippeldisco (a “Chopping Dance Party”) in Berlin – Wastecooking

SUMMARY:It's All About the Soil - Farming on a hot planet
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, March 20\, 11am – 3pm\nGreen String Farm\,\n3571 Old Adobe Road\, Petaluma\, CA \n \nThere is now the option to get tickets at the door.\nSlow Food Russian River is excited to present best-selling author and educator Anna Lappé and leading climate and food policy activists Diana Donlon and Michael Dimock. Join us Sunday\, March 20 at Green String Farm in Petaluma for this stimulating\, thought-provoking 4-hour event that explores the connection of soil\, farming and climate change. \nClimate change is forcing us to rethink farming methods. Globally\, more than twice as much carbon is stored in our soil as in our living vegetation. Maintaining that soil and getting more carbon sequestered in the land is a key part of mitigating the crisis. The farmer is a great\, untapped resource in the fight against climate change. Hear about solutions emerging from the land:  from the soil\, the crops\, and the farmers who are employing climate-friendly methods to restore and regenerate the soil. Learn how your informed choices about your diet and your garden have an impact. And how Sonoma County and California are leading the way. \nLunch\nWe will enjoy a lunch break right after Anna Lappé’s talk. Bring your lunch or reserve a box lunch online (chicken or vegetarian) for $12 with your ticket. There will be coffee\, tea and water.  Please bring your own water bottle and refill it. \nLunch is followed by a conversation with Diana Donlon and Michael Dimock. The event ends at 3pm. \nExpert and Entertaining Speakers\nAnna Lappé\nAnna Lappé is a national bestselling author of Diet for a Hot Planet and a widely respected educator and speaker\, known for her work as an expert on food systems and as a sustainable food advocate. She is the founder of the Small Planet Institute and Small Planet Fund with her mother\, Frances Moore Lappé. She is also the founder and director of the Real Food Media Project\, a web-based action center to grow the movement for sustainable food and farming. \n \nDiana Donlon\nDiana Donlon is the director of Food and Climate at the Center for Food Safety where her work centers on advancing the global opportunity to mitigate climate change\, increase food and water supplies and protect habitat through rebuilding soil carbon. Soil Solutions to Climate Problems\, a new four-minute film she produced\, was screened by the French Ministry of Agriculture at the recent UN Climate Conference in Paris. Diana has worked for a variety of family foundations supporting youth and sustainable agriculture programs. \n Michael Dimock\nMichael Dimock is the president of Roots of Change\, an organization dedicated to creating a sustainable food system in California by the year 2030.  ROC builds relationships within various parts of the food system including farmers\, workers\, environmentalists\, food justice advocates and government  to create a food movement that offers communities better health and resilience for the 21st century. Michael is a co-founder of Slow Food Russian River and a Past President of Slow Food USA. \n

SUMMARY:Book Group: Dirt\, A Love Story\, edited by Barbara Richardson
DESCRIPTION:The Slow Food Russian River Book Group will be reading the book Dirt\, A Love Story – 36 writers get down to earth\, edited by Barbara Richardson\, with a Foreword by Pam Houston (ForeEdge Books\, 2015). \nTo prepare for the conversation please read at least one essay from each of the five sections. \n***\nTo RSVP write the Book Group at Slow Food Russian River Book Group <sfrrbookgroup@gmail.com>. The book group is open to anyone who can read\, loves cooking a dish\, and likes a good conversation. You don’t need to be a member\, although – of course – we hope that with time you will become one. Location in Sebastopol with RSVP. \nThe Book Group meets the first Thursday of the month\, 7 – 9pm. It’s a convivial dinner. Please bring a dish for four and a beverage. \n*** \nPublisher’s Blurb of Dirt\, A Love Story \nThirty-six artists\, scientists\, and renowned writers go wild about the virtues\, pleasure\, and importance of dirt! \nCommunity farms. Mud spas. Mineral paints. Nematodes. The world is waking up to the beauty and mystery of dirt. This anthology celebrates the Earth’s generous crust\, bringing together essays by award-winning scientists\, authors\, artists\, and dirt lovers to tell dirt’s exuberant tales. \nGeographically broad and topically diverse\, these essays reveal life as lived by dirt fanatics—admiring the first worm of spring\, taking a childhood twirl across a dusty Kansas farm\, calculating how soil breathes\, or baking mud pies. Essayists build a dirt house\, center a marriage around dirt\, sink down into marshy heaven\, and learn to read dirt’s own language. Scientists usher us deep underground with the worms and mycorrhizae to explore the vast and largely ignored natural processes occurring beneath our feet.

SUMMARY:Book Group: Food and Freedom\, Liberated Gastronomy\, by Carlo Petrini
DESCRIPTION:The Slow Food Russian River Book Group will be reading Food and Freedom\, Liberated Gastronomy and Liberating Diversity. \nThis is part I (pp. 1-72) and II (pp. 173–127) of the book Food & Freedom (Cibo e libertà). How the Slow Food Movement Is Changing the World through Gastronomy\, by Carlo Petrini\, Translated by John Irving (Rizzoli\, New York\, 2015). \nCarlo Petrini is the author of Slow Food Nation and the founder of the Slow Food organization\, which counts 100\,000 members in 150 countries. Petrini was named a “Champion of the Earth” by the United Nations. and received the Sicco Mansholt Price for Slow Food’s contribution to sustainable agriculture. Sicco Mansholt was a farmer\, a member of the Dutch resistance during the Second World War\, a national politician and the first European Commissioner responsible for Agriculture.\nTo RSVP write the Book Group at Slow Food Russian River Book Group <sfrrbookgroup@gmail.com>. The book group is open to anyone who can read\, loves cooking a dish\, and likes a good conversation. You don’t need to be a member\, although – of course – we hope that with time you will become one. Location in Sebastopol with RSVP. \nThe Book Group meets the first Thursday of the month\, 7 – 9pm. It’s a convivial dinner. Please bring a dish for four and a beverage. \n*** \nPublisher’s Blurb \nInspiring the global fight to revolutionize the way food is grown\, distributed\, and eaten. In the almost thirty years since Carlo Petrini began the Slow Food organization\, he has been constantly engaged in the fight for food justice. Beginning first in his native Italy and then expanding all over the world\, the movement has created a powerful force for change.\nThe essential argument of this book is that food is an avenue towards freedom. This uplifting and humanistic message is straightforward: if people can feed themselves\, they can be free. In other words\, if people can regain control over access to their food—how it is produced\, by whom\, and how it is distributed—then that can lead to a greater empowerment in all channels of life. Whether in the Amazon jungle talking with tribal elders or on rice paddies in rural Indonesia\, the author engages the reader through the excitement of his journeys and the passion of his mission.\nHere\, Petrini reports upon some of the success stories that he has observed firsthand. From Chiapas to Puglia\, Morocco to North Carolina\, he has witnessed the many ways different peoples have dealt with food problems. This book allows us to learn from these case studies and lays out models for the future. \n*** \n• Review by Rachel Jagareski\, August 27\, 2015\, on Foreword Reviews.\n• A Preview of Carlo Petrini’s Latest Book: Cibo e libertà (Food and Freedom)\, May. 21\, 2014\, by John Irving\, Slow Food Editore and translator of the book\, on the Slow Food USA blog.\n• Reviewed by Gretchen Wagner for San Francisco Book Review.\n• Featured as one of 10 new books that celebrate the beauty of freedom now\, on Beautiful Now. \n

SUMMARY:Book Group: Consulting the Genius of the Place\, Away from the Extractive Economy\, by Wes Jackson
DESCRIPTION:The Slow Food Russian River Book Group will be reading the book Consulting the Genius of the Place\, Part II\, by Wes Jackson (CounterPoint\, Berkeley\, 2010) \, Section 3 and 4\, pp. 146 – 253\, Away from the Extractive Economy. \nTo RSVP write the Book Group at Slow Food Russian River Book Group <sfrrbookgroup@gmail.com>. The book group is open to anyone who can read\, loves cooking a dish\, and likes a good conversation. You don’t need to be a member\, although – of course – we hope that with time you will become one. Location in Sebastopol with RSVP. \nThe Book Group meets the first Thursday of the month\, 7 – 9pm. \n*** \nReviewer’s Commentaries\nContinuing the trajectory of Jackson’s earlier works\, Consulting the Genius of the Place is a crucial addition to a conversation in which anyone who wants to keep eating has a stake. Combining memoir\, scientific argument\, and prophetic diatribe\, this book is a bit like the prairie ecosystem it lauds: a sometimes gnarly\, sometimes lovely mix of ideas whose roots go deep\, and which possesses in its vitality emergent properties of its own. Only by consulting the genius of our own places instead of imposing our wills upon them\, Jackson warns\, can we carbon-hungry creatures avoid the fate of the petri dish. (Fred Bahnson\, in Orion Magazine). \nThe themes of place\, biodiversity and the virtues of perennial plants that have abounded in Jackson’s previous books converge in Jackson’s thorough argument for a new approach to agriculture that is dictated not by market economies or agribusiness but rather by the land and ecology of a given place. (Chris Smith\, in Englewoods Review of Books). \nBio from the Schumacher Institute: \nWes Jackson is one of the foremost figures in the international sustainable agriculture movement. Founder and president of The Land Institute in Salina\, Kansas\, he has pioneered reserach in Natural Systems Agriculture — including perennial grains\, perennial polycultures\, and intercropping — for over 30 years. He was a professor of biology at Kansas Wesleyan and later established the Environmental Studies program at California State University\, Sacramento\, where he became a tenured full professor. He is the author of several books including Becoming Native to This Place (1994)\, Altars of Unhewn Stone(1987)\, and New Roots for Agriculture (1980). \nThe work of the Land Institute has been featured extensively in the popular media\, including The Atlantic Monthly\, Audubon\, The MacNeil-Lehrer News Hour\, and All Things Considered. Life magazine predicted Wes Jackson will be among the 100 “most important Americans of the 20th century.” He is a recipient of the Pew Conservation Scholars award and a MacArthur Fellowship\, and has been listed as one of Smithsonian’s “35 Who Made a Difference”. Wes has an M.A. in botany from University of Kansas\, and a Ph.D. in genetics from North Carolina State University. \nSee also this interview with Wes Jackson\, by Kathryn True\, The Genius of Place. The Land Institute founder on tapping the genius of the prairie in the design of agriculture.

SUMMARY:Book Group: The Covenant of the Wild. Why Animals Choose Domestication\, by Stephen Budiansky
DESCRIPTION:The Slow Food Russian River Book Group will be reading the book The Covenant of the Wild. Why Animals Choose Domestication (1996) by Stephen Budiansky. \nSome animal rights advocates argue that eating meat is murder and that pets are slaves. This controversial reappraisal of the human-animal bond\, however\, argues that domestication of animals is not an act of exploitation but a brilliantly successful evolutionary strategy that has benefited humans and animals alike. (Adapted from Goodreads) \nThis book is available in the 2nd hand book trade for less than $5. There is one copy in the Sonoma County Public Library System\, but not at SSU or the SRJC Library. \nTo RSVP write the Book Group at Slow Food Russian River Book Group <sfrrbookgroup@gmail.com>. The book group is open to anyone who can read\, loves cooking a dish\, and likes a good conversation.  You don’t need to be a member\, although – of course – we hope that with time you will become one. Location in Sebastopol with RSVP.

SUMMARY:Slow Meat BBQ for the Slow Food California 2015 meeting in Sonoma County
DESCRIPTION:Slow Meat BBQ hosted by Slow Food Russian River\nSOLD OUT We have a limited number of tickets for members to join Slow Food Leaders from around the state and Pacific Region for the closing Slow Meat BBQ of the Slow Food California 2015 meeting in Sonoma County during Labor Day Weekend. \nJoin Slow Food Russian River for a Slow Meat BBQ and get-together at Chuck and Marcia Lavine’s located a few miles west of Sebastopol\, overlooking apple orchards and vineyards. We’ll be serving pork raised by our Slow Meat 2015 delegates at Green Goose Farm\, delicious sides\, local beer and cider\, and special treats from Dominique’s Sweets. Location after ticket sale. \nEnjoy and share with us the bounty of Sonoma’s West County! \n****** \nSlow Meat\nSlow Meat is an international campaign and biennial event that brings together diverse people to turn the herd away from the tyranny of cheap meat and toward a food system that is good\, clean and fair for all. \nWhy Slow Meat?\nMeat is a pivotal issue\, emblematic of the unsustainable and unethical practices that are part and parcel of the industrial food system. By championing better methods of animal husbandry and better consumption practices\, together we are creating a healthier and happier world. \nBetter Meat\, Less Meat\nThe average U.S. resident eats 270.7 pounds of meat each year\, more than double the global average and roughly five times more than we did a century ago. \nHanging Sausages\nOur increasing demand for cheap meat has caused a corresponding growth in industrial production of meat and placed the concentration of power in the hands of just a few large companies. These companies exploit their workers and livestock in order to satisfy the market’s demand for a large quantity of meat at a low cost. \nIf we resolve to eating “better meat\, less\,” however\, we can begin to shift the power away from these corperations and empower producers who raise their animals according to the highest standards. By eating consciously and locally\, you are choosing to support ethically sound and sustainable practices while reducing your environmental impact. \nLearn Meat\nCheck out these resources to help you join the Slow Meat movement. \n• Slow Meat 101 guide to meat\n• Breakdown of common labels\n• Tips for more conscious consumption\n• Reasons to limit meat consumption\n• Reading list of outspoken authors

SUMMARY:Book Group: Field Days. A Year of Farming\, Eating\, and Drinking Wine in California\, by  Jonah Raskin
DESCRIPTION:The Slow Food Russian River Book Group will be discussing the book Field Days. A Year of Farming\, Eating\, and Drinking Wine in California (September 2010\, UC California Press)\, by Jonah Raskin. Photography by Paige Green. \nFor a first the author will be participating. \nYou can ask Jonah anything you want about writing\, editing\, publishing and more. He will be talking about the backstory to the book\, what changes he has seen in the ag world\, and where we are now as a foodshed. \nIf you can’t read the whole book – he says he understand – try to read the Introduction\, pp. 1-12 or the Coda\, pp. 289-291 and the Acknowledgements 293-297. \n“Sooner or later\, nearly everyone who cares about wine and food comes to Sonoma”—so begins this lively excursion to a spectacular region that has become known internationally as a locavore’s paradise. Part memoir\, part vivid reportage\, Field Days chronicles the renaissance in farming organically and eating locally that is unfolding in Northern California. Jonah Raskin tells of the year he spent on Oak Hill Farm—working the fields\, selling produce at farmers’ markets\, and following it to restaurants. He also goes behind the scenes at Whole Foods. In this luminous account of his experiences\, Raskin introduces a dynamic cast of characters—farmers\, chefs\, winemakers\, farm workers\, and environmentalists. They include such luminaries as Warren Weber at Star Route Farm\, the oldest certified organic farm in Marin County; Bob Cannard\, who has supplied Chez Panisse with vegetables for decades; Sharon Grossi\, the owner of the largest organic farm in Sonoma; and Craig Stoll\, the founder and executive chef at Delfina in San Francisco. Raskin also offers portraits of renowned historical figures\, including Luther Burbank\, Jack London\, and M.F.K. Fisher. Field Days is a heartfelt celebration of the farm-to-table movement and its cultural reverberations” (Publisher’s Description). \nTo RSVP write the Book Group at Slow Food Russian River Book Group <sfrrbookgroup@gmail.com>. The book group is open to anyone who can read\, loves cooking a dish\, and likes a good conversation.You don’t need to be a member\, although – of course – we hope that with time you will become one.  Location in Sebastopol with RSVP. \nThe Book Group meets the first Thursday of the month\, 7 – 9pm
