"content": "\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite the coronavirus outbreak's disturbances to daily life, fresh fruits and vegetables are still making their way to farmers markets and community supported agriculture (CSA) boxes. S\u003c/span>ome national grocery store chains might be facing temporary shortages, but local food sources with shorter supply chains have stayed nimble and in demand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“[Last] Monday, we just started getting an influx of messages and emails asking if people could buy directly from us,” says Helena Sylvester, who runs \u003ca href=\"http://www.happyacrefarm.com/csa2020\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Happy Acre Farm\u003c/a> in Sunol along with her husband. “Our plan was to not start our CSA until June and only sell to restaurants until that happened.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sylvester's plans changed when the farm’s restaurant sales decreased, as many eateries closed their doors once California's shelter-in-place orders mandated take out-only service. “We decided to divert that produce to people instead,” she explains. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/B975U9HgYQt/\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Today the family-owned and -operated farm supplies around 20 boxes a week on a first come, first served basis, and they can be picked up at the farm or a drop-off site in Oakland. Sylvester says the demand is much higher than when Happy Acre was only supplying to restaurants. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“[Farms] seem like they're either switching to a farm box or, if they already had one, creating more room in there for new members,” notes Sylvester, who has seen many other small farmers adjusting their business models in recent days. “And it seems like there's almost not enough farms for the demand. A lot of people have waiting lists going.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Berkeley’s\u003ca href=\"https://ecologycenter.org/fm/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Ecology Center\u003c/a>, which runs three farmers markets, is committed to keeping all of them open through the coronavirus crisis. In accordance with new guidelines from the California Department of Public Health, their markets, along with others throughout the Bay Area, have installed new safety measures, including stoppage on produce sampling, increased hand-washing and sanitizing stations and social distancing rules. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“It's kind of above and beyond what you'd even see probably at a grocery store,” said Carle Brinkman, the food and farming program director at the Ecology Center. Brinkman explains that each farmer serves one customer at a time, and a designated person handles payment away from the produce.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_136585\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-136585\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/03/CUESAFerryBuilding_3_KQED.jpg\" alt=\"Social distancing guidelines and additional hand washing stations are one of the ways farmers markets like CUESA have adapted to the coronavirus pandemic. \" width=\"1920\" height=\"1285\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/03/CUESAFerryBuilding_3_KQED.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/03/CUESAFerryBuilding_3_KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/03/CUESAFerryBuilding_3_KQED-800x535.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/03/CUESAFerryBuilding_3_KQED-768x514.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/03/CUESAFerryBuilding_3_KQED-1020x683.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Social distancing guidelines and additional hand washing stations are one of the ways farmers markets like CUESA have adapted to the coronavirus pandemic. \u003ccite>(CUESA)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Customers are also asked to go into vendor areas one at a time and line up six feet apart as they wait to pay. “We're marking out those six-feet-apart spaces with either chalk or tape or cones to ensure the social distancing,” she says, adding that enforcing social distancing has proven to be the most challenging aspect so far. Ecology Center is also waiving all penalties for vendors who call in sick for the duration of the pandemic.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ca href=\"https://cuesa.org/article/cuesa%E2%80%99s-guide-farmers-market-food-pickup-and-delivery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CUESA\u003c/a>, whose San Francisco Ferry Plaza Farmers Market remains open, is taking similar public health precautions. (CUESA’s Jack London Square Farmers Market is currently on hold through May 1o, and their Mission Community Market returns from winter hiatus on April 9.) \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Our priority is really to make sure that our community is well fed,” says Brie Mazurek, the communications director at CUESA. “There's so much amazing produce in California, so many family farms. We don't want to see any produce sitting in the fields right now when there are hungry people who need to eat.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mazurek noted that open-air farmers markets can easily adapt to social distance-friendly layouts. “There's a lot more room to walk around and maneuver and create space. Especially as some of our vendors have had to opt out,” she says. “It's also just a much shorter supply chain for people. In terms of how this food is getting from the field to the market. There are fewer hands handling it.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Though restaurant accounts have significantly dwindled, CUESA, Ecology Center and other farmers markets are sorting out how to effectively and safely get fresh produce and pantry items to the surge of people who are cooking at home. “Farmers markets and small and midsize farmers that sell there are poised for resiliency in that they can potentially pivot more quickly to a different business model,” says Brinkman. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“The one thing that they're not set up for in terms of resiliency is federal funding,” she continues. “They're often forgotten because they're a smaller size slice of the pie.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_136583\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-136583\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/03/CUESAFerryBuilding_2_KQED.jpg\" alt=\"Many small farmers across the state depend on farmers markets and restaurants orders that have depleted since shelter-in-place was instituted.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1285\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/03/CUESAFerryBuilding_2_KQED.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/03/CUESAFerryBuilding_2_KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/03/CUESAFerryBuilding_2_KQED-800x535.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/03/CUESAFerryBuilding_2_KQED-768x514.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/03/CUESAFerryBuilding_2_KQED-1020x683.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Many small farmers across the state depend on farmers markets and restaurants orders that have depleted since shelter-in-place was instituted. \u003ccite>(CUESA)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">On a local level, Ecology Center, a leading member of the California Alliance of Farmers Markets, is advocating that local officials keep farmers markets open as an essential service across California counties that have invoked stricter measures than the state. Farmers markets in Pleasanton and the Peninsula in the \u003ca href=\"https://pcfma.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pacific Coast Farmers Market Association\u003c/a> network have temporarily closed, for instance, while others in the South Bay recently reopened after a short hiatus. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“They're essential for the livelihood of farmers and really essential healthy food access points for the community,” explains Brinkman, emphasizing that CalFresh (formerly known as food stamps) customers rely on farmers markets for fresh produce. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Federal efforts are also underway by the \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://farmersmarketcoalition.org/farmers-markets-covid19/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Farmers Market Coalition\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, a national group that advocated that federal dollars from the stimulus package go to small and mid-sized farmers. The $2 trillion dollar bill, which the president signed into law, has \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/27/us/politics/coronavirus-stimulus-bill-farmers.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$9.5 billion set aside\u003c/a> for “agricultural producers impacted by coronavirus, including producers of specialty crops, producers that supply local food systems, including farmers markets, restaurants, and schools, and livestock producers, including dairy producers.” Distribution of those funds remains to be seen.

We're going to plant for it like it's the new normal,” she shares. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“As awful as this entire thing has been to watch, watching the resilience of the farmers and their creativity has been really remarkable.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n",

S\u003c/span>ome national grocery store chains might be facing temporary shortages, but local food sources with shorter supply chains have stayed nimble and in demand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“[Last] Monday, we just started getting an influx of messages and emails asking if people could buy directly from us,” says Helena Sylvester, who runs \u003ca href=\"http://www.happyacrefarm.com/csa2020\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Happy Acre Farm\u003c/a> in Sunol along with her husband. “Our plan was to not start our CSA until June and only sell to restaurants until that happened.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sylvester's plans changed when the farm’s restaurant sales decreased, as many eateries closed their doors once California's shelter-in-place orders mandated take out-only service. “We decided to divert that produce to people instead,” she explains. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

A lot of people have waiting lists going.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Berkeley’s\u003ca href=\"https://ecologycenter.org/fm/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Ecology Center\u003c/a>, which runs three farmers markets, is committed to keeping all of them open through the coronavirus crisis. In accordance with new guidelines from the California Department of Public Health, their markets, along with others throughout the Bay Area, have installed new safety measures, including stoppage on produce sampling, increased hand-washing and sanitizing stations and social distancing rules. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“It's kind of above and beyond what you'd even see probably at a grocery store,” said Carle Brinkman, the food and farming program director at the Ecology Center. Brinkman explains that each farmer serves one customer at a time, and a designated person handles payment away from the produce.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_136585\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-136585\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/03/CUESAFerryBuilding_3_KQED.jpg\" alt=\"Social distancing guidelines and additional hand washing stations are one of the ways farmers markets like CUESA have adapted to the coronavirus pandemic. \" width=\"1920\" height=\"1285\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/03/CUESAFerryBuilding_3_KQED.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/03/CUESAFerryBuilding_3_KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/03/CUESAFerryBuilding_3_KQED-800x535.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/03/CUESAFerryBuilding_3_KQED-768x514.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/03/CUESAFerryBuilding_3_KQED-1020x683.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Social distancing guidelines and additional hand washing stations are one of the ways farmers markets like CUESA have adapted to the coronavirus pandemic. \u003ccite>(CUESA)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Customers are also asked to go into vendor areas one at a time and line up six feet apart as they wait to pay. “We're marking out those six-feet-apart spaces with either chalk or tape or cones to ensure the social distancing,” she says, adding that enforcing social distancing has proven to be the most challenging aspect so far. Ecology Center is also waiving all penalties for vendors who call in sick for the duration of the pandemic.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003ca href=\"https://cuesa.org/article/cuesa%E2%80%99s-guide-farmers-market-food-pickup-and-delivery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CUESA\u003c/a>, whose San Francisco Ferry Plaza Farmers Market remains open, is taking similar public health precautions. (CUESA’s Jack London Square Farmers Market is currently on hold through May 1o, and their Mission Community Market returns from winter hiatus on April 9.) \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Our priority is really to make sure that our community is well fed,” says Brie Mazurek, the communications director at CUESA. “There's so much amazing produce in California, so many family farms. We don't want to see any produce sitting in the fields right now when there are hungry people who need to eat.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mazurek noted that open-air farmers markets can easily adapt to social distance-friendly layouts. “There's a lot more room to walk around and maneuver and create space. Especially as some of our vendors have had to opt out,” she says. “It's also just a much shorter supply chain for people. In terms of how this food is getting from the field to the market. There are fewer hands handling it.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Though restaurant accounts have significantly dwindled, CUESA, Ecology Center and other farmers markets are sorting out how to effectively and safely get fresh produce and pantry items to the surge of people who are cooking at home. “Farmers markets and small and midsize farmers that sell there are poised for resiliency in that they can potentially pivot more quickly to a different business model,” says Brinkman. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“The one thing that they're not set up for in terms of resiliency is federal funding,” she continues. “They're often forgotten because they're a smaller size slice of the pie.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_136583\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-136583\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/03/CUESAFerryBuilding_2_KQED.jpg\" alt=\"Many small farmers across the state depend on farmers markets and restaurants orders that have depleted since shelter-in-place was instituted.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1285\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/03/CUESAFerryBuilding_2_KQED.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/03/CUESAFerryBuilding_2_KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/03/CUESAFerryBuilding_2_KQED-800x535.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/03/CUESAFerryBuilding_2_KQED-768x514.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2020/03/CUESAFerryBuilding_2_KQED-1020x683.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Many small farmers across the state depend on farmers markets and restaurants orders that have depleted since shelter-in-place was instituted. \u003ccite>(CUESA)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">On a local level, Ecology Center, a leading member of the California Alliance of Farmers Markets, is advocating that local officials keep farmers markets open as an essential service across California counties that have invoked stricter measures than the state. Farmers markets in Pleasanton and the Peninsula in the \u003ca href=\"https://pcfma.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pacific Coast Farmers Market Association\u003c/a> network have temporarily closed, for instance, while others in the South Bay recently reopened after a short hiatus. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“They're essential for the livelihood of farmers and really essential healthy food access points for the community,” explains Brinkman, emphasizing that CalFresh (formerly known as food stamps) customers rely on farmers markets for fresh produce. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Federal efforts are also underway by the \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://farmersmarketcoalition.org/farmers-markets-covid19/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Farmers Market Coalition\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, a national group that advocated that federal dollars from the stimulus package go to small and mid-sized farmers. The $2 trillion dollar bill, which the president signed into law, has \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/27/us/politics/coronavirus-stimulus-bill-farmers.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$9.5 billion set aside\u003c/a> for “agricultural producers impacted by coronavirus, including producers of specialty crops, producers that supply local food systems, including farmers markets, restaurants, and schools, and livestock producers, including dairy producers.” Distribution of those funds remains to be seen. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Located in Union Square’s Hotel G, the airy dining room and bar have an easygoing style that feels more Los Angeles than San Francisco. It’s a California seafood–centric restaurant, and chef-partner Bill Montagne brought on the talented executive chef Melissa Perfit (Bar Crudo, Hard Water), who is skilled in doing creative and delicious things with seafood (and sourcing the good stuff).\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_131926\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-131926\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/01/ayala-charcuterie-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Seafood charcuterie at Ayala. \u003ccite>(tablehopper.com)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>You don’t want to miss the beautiful seafood “charcuterie” plate ($21), which includes four seafood presentations, like halibut with grapefruit and fennel, and black cod with kombu and chartreuse. The lightly dressed section includes the freshest littleneck clams on the half-shell in a bright green frothy sauce, with jicama, cucumber, black tobiko, and lobster oil ($11 for 3). Salads include a perfect Louie ($21), with Dungeness, prawns, creamy egg, and avocado. Everything pairs well with their lighter cocktails, like A Diving Bell, and the aromatic Officer and a Gentian. The wine selections from GM Essam Kardosh (Del Popolo) and wine director Nick Tilly are also full of food-friendly beauties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_131927\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-131927\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/01/ayala-cioppino-800x1201.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1201\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cioppino verde and lobster butter toast. \u003ccite>(tablehopper.com)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Larger dishes include the decadent nori spaghettini ($29), with Dungeness, white miso, and topped with furikake and a pop of acidity from Buddha’s hand. It’s a treat to have cioppino ($37) prepared with such respect for the seafood within: here, it’s a cioppino verde, a tomatillo-poblano broth, filled with Dungeness, prawns, squid, and lobster butter toast on the side that you’ll dunk in the broth. It’s a touch on the spendy side, and quality seafood isn’t cheap, but let the bread fill you up. You also want the English muffin with herb-cultured butter ($6).

Mah agreed, talking about how people need to shift in how they see the food movement, and go from making passive food choices (whatever’s cheapest at the store) to active ones (did that apple come from a farm in California or Mexico? Do the farmers take advantage of their workers?) The focus needs to be on “good food meets food justice,” Mah said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The panel discussed the problems that Trump’s focus on illegal immigration can cause restaurants. Carmona-Cruz discussed how La Raza leads trainings for restaurants about what to do if ICE comes knocking at their door. Undocumented restaurant workers are often taken advantage of, he said, made to work for much less than minimum wage. “We have to realize that good food equals good practices,” he said. “We like to think about it in an intersectional way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_116290\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-116290\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2243.jpg\" alt=\"Panelist Edwin Carmona-Cruz, from La Raza Centro Legal.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1449\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2243.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2243-160x121.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2243-800x604.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2243-768x580.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2243-1020x770.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2243-1180x891.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2243-960x725.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2243-240x181.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2243-375x283.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2243-520x392.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Panelist Edwin Carmona-Cruz, from La Raza Centro Legal. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Intersectionality is key, Moore said. It’s not just about people buying most of of their produce from the farmers' market. For the food system to become more equitable as a whole, she said, people have to collaborate with other social justice movements, like Black Lives Matter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our food system is reliant on people of color and immigrants,” Rangel-Medina said, adding that any food movement needs to be relevant for everyone, from restaurant workers to the people who pick our food. She mentioned the uncomfortable dichotomy that anyone who’s dined out in the Bay Area has observed. Why are Latino workers consistently working in back of the house positions, while the the bulk of front of house workers--who generally make more money, and serve as the face of the resturaunt--white? Yes, it’s awkward for well-intentioned Bay Area liberals to discuss these kinds of inequities. Yet, it’s vital, Rangel-Medina said. “If we don’t do this hard work we end up with Trump.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_116292\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-116292\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2256.jpg\" alt=\"Panelist Evelyn Rangel-Medina, from Restaurant Opportunities Centers United.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1332\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2256.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2256-160x111.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2256-800x555.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2256-768x533.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2256-1020x708.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2256-1180x819.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2256-960x666.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2256-240x167.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2256-375x260.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2256-520x361.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Panelist Evelyn Rangel-Medina, from Restaurant Opportunities Centers United. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The fear and uncertainty that Trump’s presidency has created isn’t anything new, she added. “People of color have already been living in a Trump-like America.” Rangel-Medina pointed out that California, bastion of progressiveness and leader of the Trump resistance, is also the state that passed \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Proposition_187\" target=\"_blank\">Proposition 187\u003c/a> in 1994, which denied undocumented Californians access to health care and education. We can’t rest on our laurels, confident that things will sort themselves out, believing that the Bay Area is somehow immune to Trump’s agenda, she said.

Restaurant owners are grappling with how political they can be without risking business. Some have declared their businesses “sanctuary restaurants,” while others, like the restaurant group that recently opened a restaurant in a Trump-owned hotel, simply see working with the president as a \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/going-out-guide/wp/2015/09/30/blt-prime-steakhouse-to-open-in-the-trump-international-hotel/\" target=\"_blank\">good business decision\u003c/a>.

Mah agreed, talking about how people need to shift in how they see the food movement, and go from making passive food choices (whatever’s cheapest at the store) to active ones (did that apple come from a farm in California or Mexico? Do the farmers take advantage of their workers?) The focus needs to be on “good food meets food justice,” Mah said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The panel discussed the problems that Trump’s focus on illegal immigration can cause restaurants. Carmona-Cruz discussed how La Raza leads trainings for restaurants about what to do if ICE comes knocking at their door. Undocumented restaurant workers are often taken advantage of, he said, made to work for much less than minimum wage. “We have to realize that good food equals good practices,” he said. “We like to think about it in an intersectional way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_116290\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-116290\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2243.jpg\" alt=\"Panelist Edwin Carmona-Cruz, from La Raza Centro Legal.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1449\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2243.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2243-160x121.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2243-800x604.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2243-768x580.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2243-1020x770.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2243-1180x891.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2243-960x725.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2243-240x181.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2243-375x283.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2017/03/DSC_2243-520x392.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Panelist Edwin Carmona-Cruz, from La Raza Centro Legal. \u003ccite>(Shelby Pope)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Intersectionality is key, Moore said.

She mentioned the uncomfortable dichotomy that anyone who’s dined out in the Bay Area has observed. Why are Latino workers consistently working in back of the house positions, while the the bulk of front of house workers--who generally make more money, and serve as the face of the resturaunt--white? Yes, it’s awkward for well-intentioned Bay Area liberals to discuss these kinds of inequities.

While it's the rare farmer indeed who does more than break even selling kale and peppers, Ferry Plaza has long had the reputation as a pricy market, someplace that can feel more like a check-off for a visiting foodie's bucket list (or a chance to Instagram that porchetta sandwich) than a place for locals to stock up on carrots or tomatoes. Coburn is quick to point out that the farmers, not CUESA, set their own prices. However, she also notes that right now, the prices at Jack London are definitely lower over all than those in San Francisco, and the market is rarely crowded, which might come as a surprise to those who only know the waterfront setting from the jam-packed Eat Real Festival. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_113002\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1536px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam.jpg\" alt=\"Plenty of room to shop and stroll at the market.\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1024\" class=\"size-full wp-image-113002\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Plenty of room to shop and stroll at the market. \u003ccite>(Tory Putnam/CUESA)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"I think people who haven't been here before might be pleasantly surprised at how beautiful Jack London Square is.

While it's the rare farmer indeed who does more than break even selling kale and peppers, Ferry Plaza has long had the reputation as a pricy market, someplace that can feel more like a check-off for a visiting foodie's bucket list (or a chance to Instagram that porchetta sandwich) than a place for locals to stock up on carrots or tomatoes. Coburn is quick to point out that the farmers, not CUESA, set their own prices. However, she also notes that right now, the prices at Jack London are definitely lower over all than those in San Francisco, and the market is rarely crowded, which might come as a surprise to those who only know the waterfront setting from the jam-packed Eat Real Festival. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_113002\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1536px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam.jpg\" alt=\"Plenty of room to shop and stroll at the market.\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1024\" class=\"size-full wp-image-113002\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/10/cuesa_jlsfm_market_credit_Tory_Putnam-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Plenty of room to shop and stroll at the market. \u003ccite>(Tory Putnam/CUESA)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"I think people who haven't been here before might be pleasantly surprised at how beautiful Jack London Square is.

Groups like \u003ca href=\"http://www.dunkthejunk.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Dunk the Junk\u003c/a> hoped the measure would significantly hamper the city’s growing obesity problem. Doria Robinson, executive director of \u003ca href=\"http://www.urbantilth.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Urban Tilth\u003c/a>, saw the tax as an opportunity to invest in the health of her community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robinson emphasizes that low-income communities are often forced by budget constraints to invest only in the short-term, but something like the soda tax, which would have paid for youth sports and health education programs, could harness collective power little by little, culminating in a transformative change (voters in nearby Berkeley \u003ca href=\"http://civileats.com/2014/11/05/big-soda-suffers-historic-defeat-after-berkeley-voters-approve-soda-tax/\" target=\"_blank\">passed a soda tax\u003c/a> in November 2014). “We have resources. We buy food every day. We can use those resources however we choose,” argues Robinson. “As a collective, if we all threw a little [money] in the pot, we can afford” to have a healthier future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When she was growing up in Richmond, Robinson didn’t think much about where the food she ate might have come from, let alone how she might grow it herself. The city’s poverty level hovers around 18 percent and the overall and child \u003ca href=\"http://www.feedingamerica.org/hunger-in-america/our-research/map-the-meal-gap/\" target=\"_blank\">food insecurity rates\u003c/a> in Richmond’s congressional district are just under 14 percent and 21 percent, respectively. Until recently, Richmond had the \u003ca href=\"http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2014/06/richmond-california-murder-rate-gun-death\" target=\"_blank\">ninth highest murder rate \u003c/a>in the country, and much of the violence was inextricably linked to a lack of resources and opportunities in low-income neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn’t until she landed at Hampshire College in western Massachusetts that Robinson learned about local food, quickly becoming a regular among the students who tended to the school’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.hampshire.edu/farm/hampshire-college-farm\" target=\"_blank\">small organic farm\u003c/a>. As her involvement in farming grew, so did her exposure to alternatives to the industrial food system. She learned the ins and outs of running a community-supported agriculture (CSA) program, tried her hand in food retail, and eventually landed back in California at \u003ca href=\"http://www.veritablevegetable.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Veritable Vegetable\u003c/a>, a San Francisco-based distribution company and \u003ca href=\"http://www.bcorporation.net/\" target=\"_blank\">certified B Corp\u003c/a> that sells produce across the state. Working in distribution allowed Robinson to see the potential to dramatically shift a whole region or city’s relationship to food. Maybe, she thought, she could help that change take root in her hometown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2005, shortly after settling back in Richmond, Robinson connected with local food activist Park Guthrie, who pitched an idea to a group of activists to convert 42 blocks of the Richmond Greenway into urban gardens that could both tackle food insecurity and teach residents about native plants and pollinators. Robinson had always viewed the area around the Greenway, a stretch of abandoned railroad that ran through the heart of her childhood neighborhood, as a vestige of urban blight. But Guthrie’s vision inspired Robinson, who immediately offered to help him put his plan into action. “I knew that this space could be transformed into open, gleaning gardens for the whole neighborhood,” recalls Robinson. She began volunteering with Urban Tilth who partnered with school gardeners to figure out how to build green spaces and gardens on the Greenway, and Urban Tilth found its purpose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_92247\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 500px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/01/doria-robinson1-e1421954381803.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/01/doria-robinson1-e1421954381803.jpg\" alt=\"Doria Robinson in Richmond, California.

Photo: Twilight Greenaway\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Nine years after joining Urban Tilth as a volunteer, Robinson now heads the organization. As it has grown, Urban Tilth has recognized that gardening can’t solve all of a community’s problems. “Alone, the community garden can’t sustain. You’re able to impact a much larger circle of people through a CSA or market stand,” notes Robinson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also admits that not everyone likes gardening and that’s okay. Urban food projects should be diverse enough to accommodate everyone, even those who shriek at the sight of an earthworm. “We still want them to eat the food,” says Robinson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to its 13 farm and garden sites, Urban Tilth is preparing to launch a CSA and has 150 families on the waiting list. Urban Tilth also working with \u003ca href=\"http://richmondfoodpolicycouncil.org/\" target=\"_blank\">The Richmond Food Policy Council\u003c/a> on a campaign to add fresh, locally-sourced salad bars to Richmond schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea for the Council arose out of the need to protect the vital local food infrastructure Urban Tilth had begun to develop. After combing through the city’s ordinances, Robinson and her colleagues realized that community gardening was not explicitly permitted—which effectively meant it was illegal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although many city officials informally supported local food, the Council worked with City’s Planning Department to create the city’s first urban agriculture ordinance in order to protect gardens and other urban food projects well into the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked if she ever feels Urban Tilth is stretched too thin, Robinson replies that the organization strives to meet her community’s myriad needs—many of which go unaddressed by other groups or local governments. “We could wait around for somebody to come along,” she says, “but we decided to step in” and make change happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Urban Tilth has certainly propelled significant changes to the landscape in Richmond, Robinson champions the organization for its investment in the city’s most important resource: its residents. Like many community-based urban food projects, the organization relied almost exclusively on volunteer labor in its early years to tend and manage the gardens. This, Robinson says, was simply unsustainable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve always been interested in how to get low-income people involved,” Robinson notes. “The answer is jobs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under Robinson’s direction, Urban Tilth began training paid apprentices to coordinate garden programs. “Those first apprentices are almost all staff members at Urban Tilth six years later,” Robinson is proud to say. “And they’re teaching new apprentices—we have over 40 a year.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a city where steady employment for youth and inexperienced workers is limited to big box stores like Walmart and Target, or fast-food joints like Taco Bell and McDonald’s, Urban Tilth provides a different path.

Groups like \u003ca href=\"http://www.dunkthejunk.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Dunk the Junk\u003c/a> hoped the measure would significantly hamper the city’s growing obesity problem. Doria Robinson, executive director of \u003ca href=\"http://www.urbantilth.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Urban Tilth\u003c/a>, saw the tax as an opportunity to invest in the health of her community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robinson emphasizes that low-income communities are often forced by budget constraints to invest only in the short-term, but something like the soda tax, which would have paid for youth sports and health education programs, could harness collective power little by little, culminating in a transformative change (voters in nearby Berkeley \u003ca href=\"http://civileats.com/2014/11/05/big-soda-suffers-historic-defeat-after-berkeley-voters-approve-soda-tax/\" target=\"_blank\">passed a soda tax\u003c/a> in November 2014). “We have resources. We buy food every day. We can use those resources however we choose,” argues Robinson. “As a collective, if we all threw a little [money] in the pot, we can afford” to have a healthier future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When she was growing up in Richmond, Robinson didn’t think much about where the food she ate might have come from, let alone how she might grow it herself. The city’s poverty level hovers around 18 percent and the overall and child \u003ca href=\"http://www.feedingamerica.org/hunger-in-america/our-research/map-the-meal-gap/\" target=\"_blank\">food insecurity rates\u003c/a> in Richmond’s congressional district are just under 14 percent and 21 percent, respectively. Until recently, Richmond had the \u003ca href=\"http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2014/06/richmond-california-murder-rate-gun-death\" target=\"_blank\">ninth highest murder rate \u003c/a>in the country, and much of the violence was inextricably linked to a lack of resources and opportunities in low-income neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn’t until she landed at Hampshire College in western Massachusetts that Robinson learned about local food, quickly becoming a regular among the students who tended to the school’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.hampshire.edu/farm/hampshire-college-farm\" target=\"_blank\">small organic farm\u003c/a>. As her involvement in farming grew, so did her exposure to alternatives to the industrial food system. She learned the ins and outs of running a community-supported agriculture (CSA) program, tried her hand in food retail, and eventually landed back in California at \u003ca href=\"http://www.veritablevegetable.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Veritable Vegetable\u003c/a>, a San Francisco-based distribution company and \u003ca href=\"http://www.bcorporation.net/\" target=\"_blank\">certified B Corp\u003c/a> that sells produce across the state. Working in distribution allowed Robinson to see the potential to dramatically shift a whole region or city’s relationship to food. Maybe, she thought, she could help that change take root in her hometown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Robinson had always viewed the area around the Greenway, a stretch of abandoned railroad that ran through the heart of her childhood neighborhood, as a vestige of urban blight. But Guthrie’s vision inspired Robinson, who immediately offered to help him put his plan into action. “I knew that this space could be transformed into open, gleaning gardens for the whole neighborhood,” recalls Robinson. She began volunteering with Urban Tilth who partnered with school gardeners to figure out how to build green spaces and gardens on the Greenway, and Urban Tilth found its purpose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_92247\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 500px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/01/doria-robinson1-e1421954381803.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/01/doria-robinson1-e1421954381803.jpg\" alt=\"Doria Robinson in Richmond, California.

Photo: Twilight Greenaway\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Nine years after joining Urban Tilth as a volunteer, Robinson now heads the organization. As it has grown, Urban Tilth has recognized that gardening can’t solve all of a community’s problems. “Alone, the community garden can’t sustain. You’re able to impact a much larger circle of people through a CSA or market stand,” notes Robinson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also admits that not everyone likes gardening and that’s okay. Urban food projects should be diverse enough to accommodate everyone, even those who shriek at the sight of an earthworm. “We still want them to eat the food,” says Robinson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to its 13 farm and garden sites, Urban Tilth is preparing to launch a CSA and has 150 families on the waiting list. Urban Tilth also working with \u003ca href=\"http://richmondfoodpolicycouncil.org/\" target=\"_blank\">The Richmond Food Policy Council\u003c/a> on a campaign to add fresh, locally-sourced salad bars to Richmond schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea for the Council arose out of the need to protect the vital local food infrastructure Urban Tilth had begun to develop. After combing through the city’s ordinances, Robinson and her colleagues realized that community gardening was not explicitly permitted—which effectively meant it was illegal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although many city officials informally supported local food, the Council worked with City’s Planning Department to create the city’s first urban agriculture ordinance in order to protect gardens and other urban food projects well into the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked if she ever feels Urban Tilth is stretched too thin, Robinson replies that the organization strives to meet her community’s myriad needs—many of which go unaddressed by other groups or local governments. “We could wait around for somebody to come along,” she says, “but we decided to step in” and make change happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Urban Tilth has certainly propelled significant changes to the landscape in Richmond, Robinson champions the organization for its investment in the city’s most important resource: its residents. Like many community-based urban food projects, the organization relied almost exclusively on volunteer labor in its early years to tend and manage the gardens. This, Robinson says, was simply unsustainable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve always been interested in how to get low-income people involved,” Robinson notes. “The answer is jobs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under Robinson’s direction, Urban Tilth began training paid apprentices to coordinate garden programs. “Those first apprentices are almost all staff members at Urban Tilth six years later,” Robinson is proud to say. “And they’re teaching new apprentices—we have over 40 a year.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a city where steady employment for youth and inexperienced workers is limited to big box stores like Walmart and Target, or fast-food joints like Taco Bell and McDonald’s, Urban Tilth provides a different path. The organization’s programs target youth and trains them to become community leaders who can pass knowledge from generation to generation. Robinson ultimately hopes that by empowering young people with hard skills in agriculture and business, Urban Tilth might eventually seed a number of small co-operative food business in Richmond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I hope that Richmond will grow,” Robinson says of the city’s future, not in size or scope, but in confidence. While many people in Richmond are low-income, Robinson emphasizes that they are “not in intellectual poverty or poverty in terms of our relationships.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want kids to have pride being from Richmond,” she adds. “We want to pull ourselves up collectively—not by our bootstraps, but together.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Who wouldn't want to outsource the mess when little Noah and Ellie learn to make their first kale salads? With cooking camps, kids bring home the skills--and hopefully, enthusiasm for new and healthy foods--and leave the spills and dirty pots and pans behind. Even better for busy parents, there's no lunch to pack, no dreaded snack duty, and no feigning enthusiasm at the sidelines of yet another no-score, \u003cem>but-Dad-she-tripped-me!\u003c/em> soccer game. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.bayleafkitchen.org/camp\">Bay Leaf Kitchen\u003c/a> is the latest entry into the kids' cooking-camp category. It's the healthy-eating, farm-to-table brainchild of director Elianna Friedman, formerly the market chef at \u003ca href=\"http://www.cuesa.org\">CUESA\u003c/a> and now its culinary educator. At CUESA, she launched the free field-trip program \u003ca href=\"http://www.cuesa.org/about-cuesa/programs/foodwise-kids\">Foodwise Kids\u003c/a> for San Francisco public school students at the Ferry Plaza farmers' markets, and helps coordinate school activities and outreach at the markets. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea for a summer cooking and farming camp came to her in November 2013. Since then, she's raised over ten thousand dollars in an IndieGoGo crowdfunding campaign, and is now registering campers (ages 9-12) for two week-long sessions, June 16-20 and July 21-25. Camp days run from 9am-4pm daily, with one overnight camp-out at the popular \u003ca href=\"http://www.eatwell.com/\">Eatwell Farm\u003c/a> in Winters.

How does a seed become a plant? How does a plant turn sunshine into food? Why are peaches sweet and peppers hot? Done right, a farm trip can be a living biology lesson, complete with plenty of excuses for getting dirty along the way. \"The market was such a natural classroom,\" said Friedman when we spoke with her last month. \"Kids loved to pick stuff out,\" and then eat the fruits and vegetables they'd discovered. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Part of having a good relationship with food is exploring it on your own,\" said Friedman. \"There's no wrong way to make a salad or a soup.\" (Presumably, Bay Leaf Kitchen's middle schoolers will not be tasked with following the full six-step \u003ca href=\"http://insidescoopsf.sfgate.com/blog/2013/11/06/behold-jeremiah-towers-brilliant-instructions-on-how-prep-lettuce-at-stars/\">Jeremiah Tower protocol\u003c/a> for washing lettuce at Stars.) And while there will be hands-on cooking and education, Friedman promises that the approach will let kids be \"wacky, silly, have a lot of fun, learn to explore and play in the kitchen,\" with time for free outdoor recreation in nearby parks as well as at the farm. Guest chefs from local restaurants and food businesses will share their expertise, while also being role models for those young \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/food/shows/\">food-show fans\u003c/a> who might be curious about cooking careers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_81362\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 217px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/05/CowsatEatwellFarmbyNigelWalker.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/05/CowsatEatwellFarmbyNigelWalker-217x290.jpg\" alt=\"Cows at Eatwell Farm Photo: NigelWalker\" width=\"217\" height=\"290\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-81362\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cows at Eatwell Farm Photo: NigelWalker\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The highlight of the Monday-through-Friday program will be an overnight campout at Eatwell Farm, a 100-acre organic market farm that's run a busy produce stand and CSA program at the Ferry Plaza farmers' market for many years. The farm has animals--including cows, horses, and chickens--as well as a year-round variety of fruits, vegetables, and flowers (especially lavender) under cultivation. Friedman, who knows Eatwell owner Nigel Walker and his wife Lorraine, said the collaboration came together easily. \"It felt so natural. Lorraine had been wanting to run a kids' program. They have a lot of adult programs up at the farm already.\" Planned farm activities might including milking the cows, gathering eggs, and of course, harvesting vegetables for farm feasts. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The farm aspect is what really sets this camp apart, Friedman told us. Coming to the farm can help kids understand where their food comes from, an experience that can have a life-long impact. Sure, it's cool to have knife skills like Bobby Flay, but connecting a pesto pizza with the rain that opens a seed, the sunshine that nourishes it, the cow whose milk makes the cheese and the people who pick the basil and harvest the wheat? Now those are real life stories. \u003c/p>\n\n",

If you've got kids, you know what that means: entertainment, in the shape of day camps, local trips, and visits to the cousins and grandparents, needs to be arranged as soon as possible, for everyone's sanity and fun, especially yours. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_81359\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/05/IsaiahCossandEliannaFriedmanbyJoshLeskar700.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/05/IsaiahCossandEliannaFriedmanbyJoshLeskar700.jpg\" alt=\"Isaiah Coss and EliannaFriedman Photo: JoshLeskar\" width=\"300\" class=\"size-full wp-image-81359\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Isaiah Coss and EliannaFriedman Photo: JoshLeskar\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>And while there are specialty camps for everything from \u003ca href=\"http://thecrucible.org/youth-programs/\">glassblowing and blacksmithing\u003c/a> in Oakland to \u003ca href=\"http://bayareawritingproject.org/2014-young-writers-camps/\">digital storytelling\u003c/a> in San Francisco, camps that give kids hands-on cooking experience are becoming ever more popular. Who wouldn't want to outsource the mess when little Noah and Ellie learn to make their first kale salads? With cooking camps, kids bring home the skills--and hopefully, enthusiasm for new and healthy foods--and leave the spills and dirty pots and pans behind. Even better for busy parents, there's no lunch to pack, no dreaded snack duty, and no feigning enthusiasm at the sidelines of yet another no-score, \u003cem>but-Dad-she-tripped-me!\u003c/em> soccer game. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.bayleafkitchen.org/camp\">Bay Leaf Kitchen\u003c/a> is the latest entry into the kids' cooking-camp category. It's the healthy-eating, farm-to-table brainchild of director Elianna Friedman, formerly the market chef at \u003ca href=\"http://www.cuesa.org\">CUESA\u003c/a> and now its culinary educator. At CUESA, she launched the free field-trip program \u003ca href=\"http://www.cuesa.org/about-cuesa/programs/foodwise-kids\">Foodwise Kids\u003c/a> for San Francisco public school students at the Ferry Plaza farmers' markets, and helps coordinate school activities and outreach at the markets. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea for a summer cooking and farming camp came to her in November 2013. Since then, she's raised over ten thousand dollars in an IndieGoGo crowdfunding campaign, and is now registering campers (ages 9-12) for two week-long sessions, June 16-20 and July 21-25. Camp days run from 9am-4pm daily, with one overnight camp-out at the popular \u003ca href=\"http://www.eatwell.com/\">Eatwell Farm\u003c/a> in Winters.

How does a seed become a plant? How does a plant turn sunshine into food? Why are peaches sweet and peppers hot? Done right, a farm trip can be a living biology lesson, complete with plenty of excuses for getting dirty along the way. \"The market was such a natural classroom,\" said Friedman when we spoke with her last month. \"Kids loved to pick stuff out,\" and then eat the fruits and vegetables they'd discovered. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And while there will be hands-on cooking and education, Friedman promises that the approach will let kids be \"wacky, silly, have a lot of fun, learn to explore and play in the kitchen,\" with time for free outdoor recreation in nearby parks as well as at the farm. Guest chefs from local restaurants and food businesses will share their expertise, while also being role models for those young \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/food/shows/\">food-show fans\u003c/a> who might be curious about cooking careers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_81362\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 217px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/05/CowsatEatwellFarmbyNigelWalker.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/05/CowsatEatwellFarmbyNigelWalker-217x290.jpg\" alt=\"Cows at Eatwell Farm Photo: NigelWalker\" width=\"217\" height=\"290\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-81362\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cows at Eatwell Farm Photo: NigelWalker\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The highlight of the Monday-through-Friday program will be an overnight campout at Eatwell Farm, a 100-acre organic market farm that's run a busy produce stand and CSA program at the Ferry Plaza farmers' market for many years. The farm has animals--including cows, horses, and chickens--as well as a year-round variety of fruits, vegetables, and flowers (especially lavender) under cultivation. Friedman, who knows Eatwell owner Nigel Walker and his wife Lorraine, said the collaboration came together easily. \"It felt so natural. Lorraine had been wanting to run a kids' program. They have a lot of adult programs up at the farm already.\" Planned farm activities might including milking the cows, gathering eggs, and of course, harvesting vegetables for farm feasts. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The farm aspect is what really sets this camp apart, Friedman told us. Coming to the farm can help kids understand where their food comes from, an experience that can have a life-long impact. Sure, it's cool to have knife skills like Bobby Flay, but connecting a pesto pizza with the rain that opens a seed, the sunshine that nourishes it, the cow whose milk makes the cheese and the people who pick the basil and harvest the wheat? Now those are real life stories. \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
