If anyone is interested in a book recommendation, we'd like to announce the release of Locally Delicious: Recipes and Resources for Eating on the North Coast which will be available in stores this week.
Locally Delicious was created and compiled by the Humboldt County Heirloom Tomatoes, a group of women interested in... promoting the good food available to us. The book covers history and issues surrounding local food production as well as reasons to eat local and how to do so on a budget. Photos are by Chris Wisner (the photographer from CAFF's annual calendar, Farm to Table). Check the Locally Delicious website and read it yourself... or give it as a gift:) http://www.locally-delicious.org/index.p

By Rebecca Thistlewaite My husband Jim and I have been farming intently for about five years now, at TLC Ranch near Santa Cruz. Our business has grown by an astonishing 3,500% in 5 years — ridiculous, I know! — but somehow we have yet to see a net profit at the end of the year. Although we [...]

A blog where I explore a loosely-connected set of topics (enjoyment, games, constraints, self-medication, willpower, risk, decision-making, beauty, technology, etc) by working on a series of projects and experiments that interest me.

Are you up to date on the Humboldt General Plan?... Following national trends where local food supporters advocate for local options, policy makers are incresingly addressing food systems and responding to home-grown, small farm, and urban garden needs. Check out this article to read about the trends: http://www.sfga...te.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2009/1
And don't forget to inform yourself about our Humboldt General Plan. Attend a meeting! Speak up for Humboldt Farmers! http://co.humboldt.ca.us/gpu/schedule.as
