Kelp is a vital part of the ecosystem. It provides food and shelter for numerous animals, including abalone, rockfish and sea otters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Urchin barrens\u003c/strong> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem began around 2014. That's when Gardner says warmer ocean temperatures began affecting the reproduction of kelp. It's also when a disease killed off sunflower sea stars, a predator of purple sea urchins. The purple sea urchin population skyrocketed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So with the increase in purple sea urchins, what we've seen is a dramatic reduction in kelp cover, primarily in Northern California. But it's slowly creeping further south. And now we're starting to see a fair bit of it on the Central Coast,\" Gardner says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Urchin barrens are areas that used to be full of kelp and are now full of urchins. One of these is below the boat. Diver Daniel Gossard takes video of it with a GoPro camera. The video shows rocks covered in spiny, ball-shaped creatures that can fit in the palm of your hand. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The kelp was nonexistent,\" Gossard said on the boat ride back. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The divers didn't come up empty-handed.

So he had his students run a research trial on this problem. The goal was to make these urchins valuable by turning them into a delicacy. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Graduate student Katie Neylan helped run the experiment. She and her classmates removed 500 purple sea urchins from the ocean and transplanted them into big, blue tanks at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.mlml.calstate.edu/aquaculture/\">Moss Landing Marine Laboratories Center of Aquaculture\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We came out and fed them every three to five days.

Their traditional territory is massive compared to the tiny pieces of land now known as reservations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Karuk don’t technically have a reservation. They have multiple, small sections of land held in trust by the government. The Hoopa Valley Tribe has a small reservation, which includes a section of the Trinity River. The Yurok reservation stretches 44 miles along the Klamath River from the Pacific Ocean to the town of Weitchpec and meets the Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation. Similar to the Karuk tribe, the Klamath Tribes (Klamath, Modoc, and Yahooskin) have land held in trust by the government that is spread across Klamath County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each tribe has limited rights to hunting and fishing on their own traditional territories (not on reservation land), but off-reservation hunting and fishing are \u003ca href=\"https://www.bia.gov/sites/bia.gov/files/assets/public/raca/manual/pdf/idc2-060922.pdf\">subject to state and federal fish and game laws\u003c/a>, yet another obstacle to accessing their traditional foods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We aren’t ‘allowed’ in the eyes of the federal government to do these things,” Hillman said. “We have to apply for a permit to hunt our own Native species that we’ve hunted for a long time and managed for a long time before somebody decided this was their land.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salmon is always a hot-button issue in the Klamath Basin. Salmon populations are most affected by dams and the Hoopa Valley Tribe has been in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.wlj.net/top_headlines/court-ruling-could-prompt-decision-on-klamath-dams/article_6426f18a-2962-11e9-9346-9f2db85c388f.html\">decades-long legal battle\u003c/a> with California and Oregon to get four hydroelectric dams on the Klamath River removed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We haven’t had access to the fish that we’ve had access to for decades,” Hillman said. This year, the Karuk Tribe put tighter restrictions on salmon fishing and the tribe is \u003ca href=\"http://www.karuk.us/images/docs/press/2019/Press_Release19-02-05_Springer_Candidate_for_listing.pdf\">petitioning\u003c/a> the California Fish and Game Commission to list Spring Chinook as a protected species.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Focus groups conducted as part of the five-year study also listed misguided resource management policies, logging, and criminalization of hunting, fishing, and gathering practices as contributing to food insecurity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have to go off of the reservation, so basically, they call us outlaws, poachers, whatever. We’re not poachers or outlaws. We are providers. Native man is a provider,” according to one confidential interview highlighted in the study. “He goes out and he gets food for his family. He ain’t out there looking for trophies. He’s looking for meat to feed his family … The Creator gives us these animals so we can live. Now you got to go buy a ticket, a tag, a license to go out and be who you are.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Food Security Through Food Sovereignty\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>According to the study, 7 percent of Native households said they are Native food secure, meaning they have access to indigenous foods like pine nuts, acorns, chestnuts, huckleberries, elderberries, wild potatoes, wild mushrooms, eels, salmon, sturgeon, and deer, to name just a few. The study also finds nearly 83 percent of households consumed Native foods at least once in the past year and that there is a strong desire—according to 99.56 percent of survey respondents—to have more access to these foods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_134287\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/07/190724-native-food-security-food-sovereignty-karuk-yurok-salmon-baking-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" class=\"size-full wp-image-134287\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/07/190724-native-food-security-food-sovereignty-karuk-yurok-salmon-baking-3.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/07/190724-native-food-security-food-sovereignty-karuk-yurok-salmon-baking-3-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/07/190724-native-food-security-food-sovereignty-karuk-yurok-salmon-baking-3-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/07/190724-native-food-security-food-sovereignty-karuk-yurok-salmon-baking-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/07/190724-native-food-security-food-sovereignty-karuk-yurok-salmon-baking-3-1020x680.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Glenn Moore, Hoopa/Yurok Cultural Practitioner arranges salmon on skewers during a traditional baking demonstration. \u003ccite>(Photo CC-licensed by the U.S. Forest Service)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>These findings led the report authors to make a number of recommendations to better reflect Native food needs in future food insecurity studies. In addition to recommending the USDA factor in Native foods and travel to far-distant stores to use SNAP or WIC in future studies, researchers would like state and federal agencies to strengthen hunting and fishing rights, promote tribal stewardship to the land and natural resources, and increase funds for tribal education, research, and extension programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a nutshell: Native people want food sovereignty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Really, food is at the core of everything we do, who we are. It’s our identity,” Hillman said. “We’re really trying to get it [Native food education] back into the schools, because that’s where we can sort of bridge that knowledge gap.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.karuk.us/index.php/departments/natural-resources/eco-cultural-revitalization/pikyav-field-institute\">Píkyav Field Institute\u003c/a> has developed a K-12 curriculum that includes Native food in every lesson.

Or she’ll make traditional huckleberry jams and jellies and dumplings with Food Distribution Program ingredients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I always tell the kids that ‘Now you’re connected to that jar of jam. When you open it, you’ll be connected back to all of us,’” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Establishing that deeper connection with food, its stories and culture is what Baldy’s work is all about. She’s also working to get restrictive food policies changed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To us, traditional gathering is ‘agriculture,’” Baldy said. “It’s getting that [through] to the USDA.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She sees some light at the end of the tunnel. \u003ca href=\"https://www.hklaw.com/en/insights/publications/2018/12/2018-farm-bill-is-historic-for-indian-country\">With 60 provisions in the 2018 Farm Bill\u003c/a> concerning tribes, such as more support for locally grown and produced foods and more tribal management of the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations, tribes have fodder to continue writing the beginning chapters of their tribal food sovereignty stories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want to have economic development in our communities and sustainable agriculture, but we need to get rid of barriers,” Baldy said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>This article originally appeared on \u003ca href=\"https://civileats.com/2019/07/24/indigenous-food-security-is-dependent-on-food-sovereignty/\">Civil Eats\u003c/a>.\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Similar to the Karuk tribe, the Klamath Tribes (Klamath, Modoc, and Yahooskin) have land held in trust by the government that is spread across Klamath County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each tribe has limited rights to hunting and fishing on their own traditional territories (not on reservation land), but off-reservation hunting and fishing are \u003ca href=\"https://www.bia.gov/sites/bia.gov/files/assets/public/raca/manual/pdf/idc2-060922.pdf\">subject to state and federal fish and game laws\u003c/a>, yet another obstacle to accessing their traditional foods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We aren’t ‘allowed’ in the eyes of the federal government to do these things,” Hillman said. “We have to apply for a permit to hunt our own Native species that we’ve hunted for a long time and managed for a long time before somebody decided this was their land.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salmon is always a hot-button issue in the Klamath Basin. Salmon populations are most affected by dams and the Hoopa Valley Tribe has been in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.wlj.net/top_headlines/court-ruling-could-prompt-decision-on-klamath-dams/article_6426f18a-2962-11e9-9346-9f2db85c388f.html\">decades-long legal battle\u003c/a> with California and Oregon to get four hydroelectric dams on the Klamath River removed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We haven’t had access to the fish that we’ve had access to for decades,” Hillman said. This year, the Karuk Tribe put tighter restrictions on salmon fishing and the tribe is \u003ca href=\"http://www.karuk.us/images/docs/press/2019/Press_Release19-02-05_Springer_Candidate_for_listing.pdf\">petitioning\u003c/a> the California Fish and Game Commission to list Spring Chinook as a protected species.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Focus groups conducted as part of the five-year study also listed misguided resource management policies, logging, and criminalization of hunting, fishing, and gathering practices as contributing to food insecurity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have to go off of the reservation, so basically, they call us outlaws, poachers, whatever. We’re not poachers or outlaws. We are providers. Native man is a provider,” according to one confidential interview highlighted in the study. “He goes out and he gets food for his family. He ain’t out there looking for trophies. He’s looking for meat to feed his family … The Creator gives us these animals so we can live. Now you got to go buy a ticket, a tag, a license to go out and be who you are.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Food Security Through Food Sovereignty\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>According to the study, 7 percent of Native households said they are Native food secure, meaning they have access to indigenous foods like pine nuts, acorns, chestnuts, huckleberries, elderberries, wild potatoes, wild mushrooms, eels, salmon, sturgeon, and deer, to name just a few. The study also finds nearly 83 percent of households consumed Native foods at least once in the past year and that there is a strong desire—according to 99.56 percent of survey respondents—to have more access to these foods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_134287\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/07/190724-native-food-security-food-sovereignty-karuk-yurok-salmon-baking-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" class=\"size-full wp-image-134287\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/07/190724-native-food-security-food-sovereignty-karuk-yurok-salmon-baking-3.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/07/190724-native-food-security-food-sovereignty-karuk-yurok-salmon-baking-3-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/07/190724-native-food-security-food-sovereignty-karuk-yurok-salmon-baking-3-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/07/190724-native-food-security-food-sovereignty-karuk-yurok-salmon-baking-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/07/190724-native-food-security-food-sovereignty-karuk-yurok-salmon-baking-3-1020x680.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Glenn Moore, Hoopa/Yurok Cultural Practitioner arranges salmon on skewers during a traditional baking demonstration. \u003ccite>(Photo CC-licensed by the U.S. Forest Service)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>These findings led the report authors to make a number of recommendations to better reflect Native food needs in future food insecurity studies.

"content": "\u003cp>Each autumn, as leaves fall to the ground, persimmon trees emerge from the graying landscape, their orange and red fruits gleaming like gaudy Christmas ornaments. Beloved in eastern Asia — especially Japan — persimmons get little respect in the United States, where many tree owners don't bother harvesting their crop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many Americans have never tasted a persimmon. But Brock Dolman is an impassioned fan. Every fall he goes foraging for them, and the bounty is almost limitless in rural Sonoma County, Calif., where he lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You can drive or ride your bike around the county, and you see these enormous trees all over with just thousands and thousands of persimmons,\" says \u003ca href=\"https://oaec.org/about-us/staff/brock-dolman/\">Dolman\u003c/a>, the co-founder of a permaculture center and demonstration farm in the town of Occidental.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The rise of the persimmon\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are lots of ways to eat and prepare this fruit. Many varieties, including the fuyu and suruga, are crunchy and can be eaten right off the tree like apples. Others, including the hachiya, saijo and chocolate, are considered astringent varieties. Rich in tannins, they are unpalatable until allowed to ripen to a jelly-soft texture, at which point they can be eaten out of hand or used in baking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several years ago, Dolman learned of a new way to prepare persimmons — a Japanese style called \u003cem>hoshigaki\u003c/em>. A revered delicacy in its homeland, hoshigaki is now a rapidly trending fashion — thanks in large part to social media \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/hoshigaki/?hl=en\">photo galleries\u003c/a> and persimmons' expanding appearance on restaurant menus — in California, the East Coast and other regions with persimmon-friendly climates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Japanese, hoshigaki means simply \"dried persimmon,\" yet describes a product of such labor that it has been called the Kobe beef of fruits. To make hoshigaki, producers use twine to suspend peeled persimmons — always of astringent varieties — from bamboo racks, often outdoors in the sun, other times indoors near a fan or over a warm stove. The process can take between one and two months, and every few days caretakers give regular massages to the softening persimmons, which shrivel, turn dark brown and crust over with natural sugar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dolman says he learned the craft both from speaking to those with firsthand experience and by watching YouTube tutorials. He has gotten the hang of the technique and recently massaged his fourth hoshigaki crop — harvested from a tree in a nearby park — toward completion. He has just a handful left of his 2017 vintage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I share them only with select friends who will really appreciate them,\" he says, adding that he often serves them with aged sheep or goat cheese.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://sonokosakai.com/our-story/\">Sonoko Sakai\u003c/a>, a Los Angeles-based food author, spent years of her childhood in Japan, and is today one of California's hoshigaki gurus. Sakai's family was friendly with a major commercial hoshigaki producer in the Japanese city of Ogaki.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They would send us a box each year as a gift, and there were seven of us and just eight hoshigaki in the box, so they were very special,\" Sakai says. The family served the fruits with tea or, sometimes, sliced them thinly and applied them as a garnish over \u003cem>kakinamasu — \u003c/em>a daikon and persimmon pickle dish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Drawing in millennials\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She only learned to dry her own persimmons about eight years ago, but she has eaten and appreciated them all her life. Today, she teaches hoshigaki classes. People of all ethnicities and backgrounds attend the workshops, she says, but one thing many have in common is that they are all relatively young.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Lots of millennials,\" says Sakai, who is 63. \"I think it's so interesting that these younger people are realizing that it's rewarding to slow down, use their hands, be patient and learn these artisanal practices from other countries.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dangling, massaging and drying persimmons could be seen as the antithesis to what so much of Western culture now demands and expects — instantaneous gratification, ordered digitally with the push of a button.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Hoshigaki is the epitome of slow food,\" Dolman says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_132051\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 568px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-132051\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/01/persimmon-702117cf9e31a66cb05602cb14cce875e1e30a83.jpg\" alt=\"There are lots of ways to eat and prepare persimmons, but many Americans aren't sure what to do with the fruit.\" width=\"568\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/01/persimmon-702117cf9e31a66cb05602cb14cce875e1e30a83.jpg 568w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/01/persimmon-702117cf9e31a66cb05602cb14cce875e1e30a83-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/01/persimmon-702117cf9e31a66cb05602cb14cce875e1e30a83-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/01/persimmon-702117cf9e31a66cb05602cb14cce875e1e30a83-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/01/persimmon-702117cf9e31a66cb05602cb14cce875e1e30a83-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 568px) 100vw, 568px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">There are lots of ways to eat and prepare persimmons, but many Americans aren't sure what to do with the fruit. \u003ccite>(Alastair Bland/for NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The tradition came to the United States with Japanese immigrants in the 19\u003csup>th\u003c/sup> and 20\u003csup>th\u003c/sup> centuries, and it has persisted in a relatively confined cultural circle for decades. Tosh Kuratomi, of \u003ca href=\"http://www.otoworchard.com/\">Otow Orchard\u003c/a>, a major persimmon farm in California, is among those who carried the torch and helped deliver the arcane knowledge of hoshigaki into the age of the Internet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, as the do-it-yourself wisdom of hoshigaki circulates online, there seems to be little danger that the practice will go by the wayside, as has happened with many ancient food arts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sakai notes that interest seems to have surged in the past two years especially, and points out that making hoshigaki \"really isn't that difficult.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's easier than making jam,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Bethlehem, Pa., Bassem Samaan, who owns a nursery called \u003ca href=\"http://treesofjoy.com/\">Trees of Joy\u003c/a>, has grown and eaten his own persimmons for more than a decade. In 2016, he dangled and dried several dozen after learning the technique through Internet research, YouTube videos and advice from experienced friends, including a Japanese-American hoshigaki-maker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joel Franceschi, of Sonoma County, used to travel in Japan for work. There, he saw bright orange orbs hanging on strings outside homes in mountain villages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I did a little asking around and some Google searching, and I figured out what they were doing,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He began making hoshigaki five years ago, mainly from fruits he acquires by knocking on strangers' doors. His very tastiest hoshigaki, Franceschi says, are those that he dunked in brandy immediately after peeling and prior to hanging.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there are different ways to make hoshigaki, and farmer Jeffrey Rieger, owner of \u003ca href=\"https://www.penrynorchardspecialties.com/active/buyhoshigaki.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Penryn Orchard\u003c/a> in California's Sierra Nevada foothills, disagrees with Franceschi's technique.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Touching alcohol to them can ruin the process,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rieger grows several varieties of persimmons and has been making hoshigaki since 2005.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was a struggle to sell them at first,\" says Rieger, who says his persimmons, because multiple varieties are cross-pollinated, \"are the sweetest in the country.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with demand rising, Rieger says, this year he sold out his hoshigaki supply through online orders almost immediately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_132052\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 568px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-132052\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/01/persimmons2-b67f0cfca99671b012e43a69e3bd60900a80fe58.jpg\" alt=\"To make hoshigaki, producers use twine to suspend peeled persimmons from bamboo racks.

Beloved in eastern Asia — especially Japan — persimmons get little respect in the United States, where many tree owners don't bother harvesting their crop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many Americans have never tasted a persimmon. But Brock Dolman is an impassioned fan. Every fall he goes foraging for them, and the bounty is almost limitless in rural Sonoma County, Calif., where he lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You can drive or ride your bike around the county, and you see these enormous trees all over with just thousands and thousands of persimmons,\" says \u003ca href=\"https://oaec.org/about-us/staff/brock-dolman/\">Dolman\u003c/a>, the co-founder of a permaculture center and demonstration farm in the town of Occidental.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The rise of the persimmon\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are lots of ways to eat and prepare this fruit. Many varieties, including the fuyu and suruga, are crunchy and can be eaten right off the tree like apples. Others, including the hachiya, saijo and chocolate, are considered astringent varieties. Rich in tannins, they are unpalatable until allowed to ripen to a jelly-soft texture, at which point they can be eaten out of hand or used in baking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

A revered delicacy in its homeland, hoshigaki is now a rapidly trending fashion — thanks in large part to social media \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/hoshigaki/?hl=en\">photo galleries\u003c/a> and persimmons' expanding appearance on restaurant menus — in California, the East Coast and other regions with persimmon-friendly climates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Japanese, hoshigaki means simply \"dried persimmon,\" yet describes a product of such labor that it has been called the Kobe beef of fruits. To make hoshigaki, producers use twine to suspend peeled persimmons — always of astringent varieties — from bamboo racks, often outdoors in the sun, other times indoors near a fan or over a warm stove. The process can take between one and two months, and every few days caretakers give regular massages to the softening persimmons, which shrivel, turn dark brown and crust over with natural sugar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dolman says he learned the craft both from speaking to those with firsthand experience and by watching YouTube tutorials. He has gotten the hang of the technique and recently massaged his fourth hoshigaki crop — harvested from a tree in a nearby park — toward completion. He has just a handful left of his 2017 vintage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I share them only with select friends who will really appreciate them,\" he says, adding that he often serves them with aged sheep or goat cheese.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://sonokosakai.com/our-story/\">Sonoko Sakai\u003c/a>, a Los Angeles-based food author, spent years of her childhood in Japan, and is today one of California's hoshigaki gurus. Sakai's family was friendly with a major commercial hoshigaki producer in the Japanese city of Ogaki.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They would send us a box each year as a gift, and there were seven of us and just eight hoshigaki in the box, so they were very special,\" Sakai says. The family served the fruits with tea or, sometimes, sliced them thinly and applied them as a garnish over \u003cem>kakinamasu — \u003c/em>a daikon and persimmon pickle dish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Drawing in millennials\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She only learned to dry her own persimmons about eight years ago, but she has eaten and appreciated them all her life. Today, she teaches hoshigaki classes. People of all ethnicities and backgrounds attend the workshops, she says, but one thing many have in common is that they are all relatively young.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Lots of millennials,\" says Sakai, who is 63. \"I think it's so interesting that these younger people are realizing that it's rewarding to slow down, use their hands, be patient and learn these artisanal practices from other countries.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dangling, massaging and drying persimmons could be seen as the antithesis to what so much of Western culture now demands and expects — instantaneous gratification, ordered digitally with the push of a button.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Hoshigaki is the epitome of slow food,\" Dolman says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_132051\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 568px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-132051\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/01/persimmon-702117cf9e31a66cb05602cb14cce875e1e30a83.jpg\" alt=\"There are lots of ways to eat and prepare persimmons, but many Americans aren't sure what to do with the fruit.\" width=\"568\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/01/persimmon-702117cf9e31a66cb05602cb14cce875e1e30a83.jpg 568w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/01/persimmon-702117cf9e31a66cb05602cb14cce875e1e30a83-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/01/persimmon-702117cf9e31a66cb05602cb14cce875e1e30a83-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/01/persimmon-702117cf9e31a66cb05602cb14cce875e1e30a83-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2019/01/persimmon-702117cf9e31a66cb05602cb14cce875e1e30a83-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 568px) 100vw, 568px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">There are lots of ways to eat and prepare persimmons, but many Americans aren't sure what to do with the fruit. \u003ccite>(Alastair Bland/for NPR)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The tradition came to the United States with Japanese immigrants in the 19\u003csup>th\u003c/sup> and 20\u003csup>th\u003c/sup> centuries, and it has persisted in a relatively confined cultural circle for decades. Tosh Kuratomi, of \u003ca href=\"http://www.otoworchard.com/\">Otow Orchard\u003c/a>, a major persimmon farm in California, is among those who carried the torch and helped deliver the arcane knowledge of hoshigaki into the age of the Internet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, as the do-it-yourself wisdom of hoshigaki circulates online, there seems to be little danger that the practice will go by the wayside, as has happened with many ancient food arts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sakai notes that interest seems to have surged in the past two years especially, and points out that making hoshigaki \"really isn't that difficult.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's easier than making jam,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Bethlehem, Pa., Bassem Samaan, who owns a nursery called \u003ca href=\"http://treesofjoy.com/\">Trees of Joy\u003c/a>, has grown and eaten his own persimmons for more than a decade. In 2016, he dangled and dried several dozen after learning the technique through Internet research, YouTube videos and advice from experienced friends, including a Japanese-American hoshigaki-maker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joel Franceschi, of Sonoma County, used to travel in Japan for work. There, he saw bright orange orbs hanging on strings outside homes in mountain villages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I did a little asking around and some Google searching, and I figured out what they were doing,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He began making hoshigaki five years ago, mainly from fruits he acquires by knocking on strangers' doors. His very tastiest hoshigaki, Franceschi says, are those that he dunked in brandy immediately after peeling and prior to hanging.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there are different ways to make hoshigaki, and farmer Jeffrey Rieger, owner of \u003ca href=\"https://www.penrynorchardspecialties.com/active/buyhoshigaki.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Penryn Orchard\u003c/a> in California's Sierra Nevada foothills, disagrees with Franceschi's technique.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Touching alcohol to them can ruin the process,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rieger grows several varieties of persimmons and has been making hoshigaki since 2005.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was a struggle to sell them at first,\" says Rieger, who says his persimmons, because multiple varieties are cross-pollinated, \"are the sweetest in the country.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with demand rising, Rieger says, this year he sold out his hoshigaki supply through online orders almost immediately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_132052\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 568px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-132052\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2019/01/persimmons2-b67f0cfca99671b012e43a69e3bd60900a80fe58.jpg\" alt=\"To make hoshigaki, producers use twine to suspend peeled persimmons from bamboo racks.

Mold can be an issue if the humidity is too high or the temperature is too low. For instance, I tried my own hand at making hoshigaki this fall from persimmons collected in and around Sebastopol, Calif. I used bamboo shoots to make a rack and twine to hang the persimmons. Though my project had the look of authenticity, the fruits did not dry rapidly enough, and as a moldy fuzz began to appear on the fruits, I rescued them from spoilage and finished them in my dehydrator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when everything works as planned, each fruit's surface turns gummy and solid, while inside the tannins break down and the fruit softens into pulp. Finished hoshigaki are dark burgundy to black in color, often with a fluffy crust of sugar on the surface.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You're turning a fruit that's totally inedible when it's not ripe into a sweet jewel,\" says Sakai, whose forthcoming book, \u003cem>Japanese Home Cooking\u003c/em>, will include a section on hoshigaki.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And maybe that will turn more Americans onto this unusual jewel-toned fruit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Those crisp mornings are perfect for a walk with the sound of crunching leaves under your feet. It’s time for pumpkins, apples, cider and leaves in a 1970s pantone palette. If you’re not lucky enough to have grown up near the Northern California foothills like I did—where we would make annual trips to Apple Hill, the land of stands, shacks and orchards dedicated to everything apple—then you can create your own little piece of fall bliss within an hour from San Francisco. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This list includes apple orchards, places to get freshly made pies, chestnut groves, a steam engine that rides through old growth Redwood forests all the way to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk and a pumpkin patch in your San Francisco backyard. Visit any of these five locations (or visit them all) for a chance to fall into autumn.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"http://skylinechestnuts.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Skyline Chestnuts\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/place/22322+Skyline+Blvd,+La+Honda,+CA+94020/@37.2963064,-122.1679532,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x808fb20d1a61d34b:0xc6434cf40a681a41!8m2!3d37.2963022!4d-122.1657592?hl=en&authuser=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">22322 Skyline Blvd\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nLa Honda, California\u003cbr>\n94020\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_130380\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/chesnuts-e1537304769607.jpg\" alt=\"The chestnut trees at Skyline\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-130380\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The chestnut trees at Skyline \u003ccite>(Skyline Chestnuts)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you follow them on Facebook, daily updates by third generation farmer Hans Johsens start popping up in October, alerting newcomers and regulars that it’s almost chestnut season at Skyline Chestnuts in La Honda. And you better make sure you’re paying attention because, as I’ve learned over the years, the chestnut season is short. By mid-November, it’s a wrap.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Skyline Chestnut’s 120 pesticide-free heritage trees are rumored to have been planted by one of the Spanish settlers that occupied this area shortly after it was “acquired by United States in 1847.” Taken over by the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District in the 1980s, the orchard saw several years of neglect when it became infeasible for the district to maintain the space.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Although the Johsens had no previous experience with chestnut farming, they took the orchard into their care in 2004 as a seasonal-only operation. But, the Johsens quickly realized the land needed much more attention than what they could give seasonally, and they have been restoring it to its rightful glory ever since. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Trek through their marked pathways amongst shaded canopies and the quintessential smell of autumn as you stalk shiny brown globes of chestnuts that lie on the ground. Or, if you’re lucky, you can spot some chestnuts still in their spiked armor and use the heavy gloves the Johsens provide to pry the nuts free. Get there early in the morning and you might be able to catch the idyllic orchard shrouded in some peaceful coastal fog.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://www.roaringcamp.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roaring Camp Railroads\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/place/5401+Graham+Hill+Rd,+Felton,+CA+95018/@37.0422075,-122.0647732,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x808e46ca2e57ca87:0xef7ca6232480413a!8m2!3d37.0422032!4d-122.0625792?hl=en&authuser=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">5401 Graham Hill Rd, \u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nFelton, CA\u003cbr>\n95018\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_130496\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/RCR_SteamTrain-5.jpg\" alt=\"Steam engine cutting through redwood forest\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-130496\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/RCR_SteamTrain-5.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/RCR_SteamTrain-5-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/RCR_SteamTrain-5-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/RCR_SteamTrain-5-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/RCR_SteamTrain-5-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/RCR_SteamTrain-5-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/RCR_SteamTrain-5-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/RCR_SteamTrain-5-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/RCR_SteamTrain-5-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/RCR_SteamTrain-5-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/RCR_SteamTrain-5-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Steam engine cutting through redwood forest \u003ccite>(Roaring Camp Railroads)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Although this land was settled in the 1830s, for the last 55 years, Roaring Camp has been a staple visit in Felton, CA in the middle of the Santa Cruz mountains. The founder F. Norman Clark passed away in 1985, with his wife Georgianna (who took over as President of Operations) passing away in 2016, but their daughter Melani Clark is continuing on with her parent’s legacy and still serving as CEO of Roaring Camp just as she was back in 2012 when \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAa0k_vrlYM\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">KQED Food\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> had a chance to catch up with her. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The railroad operates every day except Christmas, and has a series of seasonal activities to keep the kids short attention span for longer than you’ve seen in a while. There’s a series of Hogwarts-esque steam engines that take you to various parts of Santa Cruz Redwoods. Their Santa Cruz Beach Train goes through Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park all the way to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, on a route that used to carry lumber in 1875. Or, take the 1 hour round trip ride to Bear Mountain as you stay shaded under the canopy of our mighty “big trees” and autumn foliage. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">They also have face painting, pumpkin patchin, gold panning (sifting through sand to find nuggets of gold) and barbecue.

Gizdich sells 17 varieties of apples — specializing in the Newtown Pippin, an heirloom variety known for tart crisp flavor that’s great for cooking — and six varieties of berries, including Olallieberries. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Opening in September for their u-pick season, you can wander and pick to your heart’s content at the rate of $2 per pound. Take a bite of those same orchard apples in Nita Gizdich’s baseball sized homemade apple dumplings drowning in a caramel-esque sauce. Or, a heaping slice of their fresh Dutch apple pie with a crumbly streusel topping, a la mode. The tender crust and juicy filling starts to co-mingle with the slightly melted ice cream, so your bites become a perfect spoon of creamy, sweet, saucy, crusty and tart. Don’t forget to nab one of their frozen pies for the road so your friends won’t be jealous. All the pies are baked on-site. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And don’t worry if you forgot the snacks at home, they have an on-site deli that sells picnic box lunches with filling sandwiches. Wash it down with their perfectly sweet and tart fresh pressed apple juice. You can also pre-order your four-pound apple Thanksgiving pies here, they sell around 6,000 pies during this time of year. This place is a true testament to the wondrous world of agricultural adaptation, and according to Nita Gizdich, they “just listen to our customers.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"http://www.clancystrees.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Clancy’s Pumpkin Patch\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/place/1620+7th+Ave,+San+Francisco,+CA+94122/@37.7582678,-122.4657214,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x808f7df601281109:0xb5d892b408691dfb!8m2!3d37.7582636!4d-122.4635274?hl=en&authuser=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">1620 7th Ave, \u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nSan Francisco, CA\u003cbr>\n94122\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_130385\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/o-3-12.16.57-PM.jpg\" alt=\"Pumpkins at Clancy’s Pumpkin Patch\" width=\"1000\" height=\"664\" class=\"size-full wp-image-130385\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/o-3-12.16.57-PM.jpg 1000w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/o-3-12.16.57-PM-160x106.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/o-3-12.16.57-PM-800x531.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/o-3-12.16.57-PM-768x510.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/o-3-12.16.57-PM-960x637.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/o-3-12.16.57-PM-240x159.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/o-3-12.16.57-PM-375x249.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/o-3-12.16.57-PM-520x345.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pumpkins at Clancy’s Pumpkin Patch \u003ccite>(Jessica R via Yelp)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sure, you could pet calfs, learn to milk a cow, wander in a hay maze, and be in massive open land while picking your own pumpkin from the vines at \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-great-peter-pumpkin-patch-petaluma\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Great Peter Pumpkin Patch\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in Petaluma.

If you’re not lucky enough to have grown up near the Northern California foothills like I did—where we would make annual trips to Apple Hill, the land of stands, shacks and orchards dedicated to everything apple—then you can create your own little piece of fall bliss within an hour from San Francisco. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This list includes apple orchards, places to get freshly made pies, chestnut groves, a steam engine that rides through old growth Redwood forests all the way to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk and a pumpkin patch in your San Francisco backyard. Visit any of these five locations (or visit them all) for a chance to fall into autumn.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"http://skylinechestnuts.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Skyline Chestnuts\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/place/22322+Skyline+Blvd,+La+Honda,+CA+94020/@37.2963064,-122.1679532,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x808fb20d1a61d34b:0xc6434cf40a681a41!8m2!3d37.2963022!4d-122.1657592?hl=en&authuser=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">22322 Skyline Blvd\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nLa Honda, California\u003cbr>\n94020\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_130380\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/chesnuts-e1537304769607.jpg\" alt=\"The chestnut trees at Skyline\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-130380\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The chestnut trees at Skyline \u003ccite>(Skyline Chestnuts)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you follow them on Facebook, daily updates by third generation farmer Hans Johsens start popping up in October, alerting newcomers and regulars that it’s almost chestnut season at Skyline Chestnuts in La Honda. And you better make sure you’re paying attention because, as I’ve learned over the years, the chestnut season is short.

The founder F.

There’s a series of Hogwarts-esque steam engines that take you to various parts of Santa Cruz Redwoods. Their Santa Cruz Beach Train goes through Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park all the way to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, on a route that used to carry lumber in 1875. Or, take the 1 hour round trip ride to Bear Mountain as you stay shaded under the canopy of our mighty “big trees” and autumn foliage. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">They also have face painting, pumpkin patchin, gold panning (sifting through sand to find nuggets of gold) and barbecue.

A testament to Ken himself, who is soft-spoken and seemed destined to be an apple grower. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ken’s grandfather purchased the land around 1924 and always intended it for apples and berries.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Ratzlaff ranch has over 25 acres of land specializing in Gravensteins, Golden Delicious and Rome apples, and for the last 25 years has brought a league of cult followers that \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">swear by their \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Apple-A-Day apple cider.

Gizdich sells 17 varieties of apples — specializing in the Newtown Pippin, an heirloom variety known for tart crisp flavor that’s great for cooking — and six varieties of berries, including Olallieberries. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Opening in September for their u-pick season, you can wander and pick to your heart’s content at the rate of $2 per pound. Take a bite of those same orchard apples in Nita Gizdich’s baseball sized homemade apple dumplings drowning in a caramel-esque sauce. Or, a heaping slice of their fresh Dutch apple pie with a crumbly streusel topping, a la mode. The tender crust and juicy filling starts to co-mingle with the slightly melted ice cream, so your bites become a perfect spoon of creamy, sweet, saucy, crusty and tart. Don’t forget to nab one of their frozen pies for the road so your friends won’t be jealous. All the pies are baked on-site. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And don’t worry if you forgot the snacks at home, they have an on-site deli that sells picnic box lunches with filling sandwiches. Wash it down with their perfectly sweet and tart fresh pressed apple juice. You can also pre-order your four-pound apple Thanksgiving pies here, they sell around 6,000 pies during this time of year. This place is a true testament to the wondrous world of agricultural adaptation, and according to Nita Gizdich, they “just listen to our customers.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"http://www.clancystrees.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Clancy’s Pumpkin Patch\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/place/1620+7th+Ave,+San+Francisco,+CA+94122/@37.7582678,-122.4657214,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x808f7df601281109:0xb5d892b408691dfb!8m2!3d37.7582636!4d-122.4635274?hl=en&authuser=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">1620 7th Ave, \u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nSan Francisco, CA\u003cbr>\n94122\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_130385\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/o-3-12.16.57-PM.jpg\" alt=\"Pumpkins at Clancy’s Pumpkin Patch\" width=\"1000\" height=\"664\" class=\"size-full wp-image-130385\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/o-3-12.16.57-PM.jpg 1000w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/o-3-12.16.57-PM-160x106.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/o-3-12.16.57-PM-800x531.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/o-3-12.16.57-PM-768x510.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/o-3-12.16.57-PM-960x637.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/o-3-12.16.57-PM-240x159.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/o-3-12.16.57-PM-375x249.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/o-3-12.16.57-PM-520x345.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pumpkins at Clancy’s Pumpkin Patch \u003ccite>(Jessica R via Yelp)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sure, you could pet calfs, learn to milk a cow, wander in a hay maze, and be in massive open land while picking your own pumpkin from the vines at \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-great-peter-pumpkin-patch-petaluma\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Great Peter Pumpkin Patch\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in Petaluma.

A few months later, the council passed another ordinance offering tax incentives for people to convert vacant lots for agricultural use.

Although the farm stand offered healthy and affordable food options, it was surrounded by convenience stores like 7-11 and other vendors selling foods like fried chicken, doughnuts, and alcohol. “There was no way we could win that fight,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Stay focused on the big picture, despite setbacks.\u003c/b>\u003cbr>\nSocial change can take years or decades.

The strategies they have undertaken, supported by \u003ca href=\"http://www.calendow.org/places/\">an infusion of funds from The California Endowment\u003c/a>, have helped coalitions of local advocates transform Sacramento’s urban farming landscape in recent years to better support healthy food programs and access.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know that this is important,” Brenda Ruiz, a mother, a chef, and a longtime Sacramento resident who is active in \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/SlowFoodSacramento/?timeline_context_item_type=intro_card_work&timeline_context_item_source=100000201451071&fref=tag\">the city’s Slow Food chapter\u003c/a>, said at a council meeting when \u003ca href=\"https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/article16244966.html\">an ordinance\u003c/a> that would reduce barriers to participating in urban farming was up for a vote. “It’s important for families to have access to fresh food; it’s important for families to consider their neighborhoods walkable and social areas where they can convene and share stories around a garden space; it’s important for our kids and young people to see this as normal for folks to be growing food and exchanging over that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following strong organizing efforts from advocates, the council approved that ordinance in 2015, making it legal for people to grow and sell produce to consumers directly from their properties and from temporary farm stands as large as 120 square feet. A few months later, the council passed another ordinance offering tax incentives for people to convert vacant lots for agricultural use. And in January 2017, following the city’s lead, Sacramento County passed similar regulations, allowing all residents in urban and suburban areas to legally grow and sell produce, as well as keep bees, chickens, and ducks on small lots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_130553\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/180913-sacramento-urban-agriculture-farm-to-fork-fremont-community-garden.jpg\" alt=\"The Fremont Community Garden in Sacramento.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" class=\"size-full wp-image-130553\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/180913-sacramento-urban-agriculture-farm-to-fork-fremont-community-garden.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/180913-sacramento-urban-agriculture-farm-to-fork-fremont-community-garden-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/180913-sacramento-urban-agriculture-farm-to-fork-fremont-community-garden-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/180913-sacramento-urban-agriculture-farm-to-fork-fremont-community-garden-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/180913-sacramento-urban-agriculture-farm-to-fork-fremont-community-garden-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/180913-sacramento-urban-agriculture-farm-to-fork-fremont-community-garden-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/180913-sacramento-urban-agriculture-farm-to-fork-fremont-community-garden-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/180913-sacramento-urban-agriculture-farm-to-fork-fremont-community-garden-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/180913-sacramento-urban-agriculture-farm-to-fork-fremont-community-garden-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/180913-sacramento-urban-agriculture-farm-to-fork-fremont-community-garden-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Fremont Community Garden in Sacramento. \u003ccite>(Annie & John / Flickr)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“If you don’t have food in your bellies, you can’t do anything else, so I look at it as the foundation of society,” said Chanowk Yisrael, whose family runs \u003ca href=\"http://yisraelfamilyfarm.net/\">an urban farm\u003c/a> from their home in Sacramento’s South Oak Park neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Crafting the Message, Shaping the Policy\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Yisrael and other advocates have been following this foundational approach in their work to make sure that urban ag policies and programs are inclusive, especially for Sacramento residents who live in neighborhoods with less access to fresh, affordable food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, although the city ultimately approved the urban agriculture ordinances, that did not happen without a strong push from local organizers, including through the ordinance language itself. Advocates crafted the language to maximize selling hours and participation—a task that involved rewriting 70-80 pages of zoning code. Although they could have approached the city and asked them to draft an ordinance, that posed some risks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[The city’s] first draft is probably going to be more conservative than your goal as an advocate,” said Matt Read, one of the ordinance’s authors. He also noted that the process of drafting and passing policies can help people develop skills in advocating for themselves and their communities. “It’s a really good opportunity for people to learn about local government and the laws that affect the built environment,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With draft language in hand, advocates then crafted messaging materials, pitched stories to local media, arranged meetings with public officials to get their buy-in, and used a combination of traditional organizing tactics and social media to get a wide range of residents—including immigrant farmers—engaged and willing to testify at council meetings in support of the urban ag ordinances. Advocates delivered 300 signatures in favor of the ordinances and testified about how the policy changes could improve health, equity, and community sustainability, among other issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Right now, barriers such as zoning restrictions and limited land use hinder our communities’ ability to farm and contribute to the local economy,” Sue Vang, who works with \u003ca href=\"https://hipcalifornia.com/\">Hmong Innovating Politics\u003c/a>, a grassroots organization that works with local leaders and underserved communities, especially Hmong and Southeast Asian communities, told the council.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The urban ag ordinance can help mitigate these barriers and revitalize low-income neighborhoods, provide solutions to blight caused by unmaintained vacant lots, and, most importantly, connect the very diverse—linguistically, racially, ethnically—communities within Sacramento.” Vang also spoke more personally: “It would also give my family the opportunity to sell the produce that my mom grows in her backyard.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_130554\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/180913-sacramento-urban-agriculture-farm-to-fork-broadway-sol-gardens.jpg\" alt=\"Broadway Sol Gardens in Sacramento.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" class=\"size-full wp-image-130554\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/180913-sacramento-urban-agriculture-farm-to-fork-broadway-sol-gardens.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/180913-sacramento-urban-agriculture-farm-to-fork-broadway-sol-gardens-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/180913-sacramento-urban-agriculture-farm-to-fork-broadway-sol-gardens-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/180913-sacramento-urban-agriculture-farm-to-fork-broadway-sol-gardens-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/180913-sacramento-urban-agriculture-farm-to-fork-broadway-sol-gardens-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/180913-sacramento-urban-agriculture-farm-to-fork-broadway-sol-gardens-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/180913-sacramento-urban-agriculture-farm-to-fork-broadway-sol-gardens-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/180913-sacramento-urban-agriculture-farm-to-fork-broadway-sol-gardens-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/180913-sacramento-urban-agriculture-farm-to-fork-broadway-sol-gardens-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/09/180913-sacramento-urban-agriculture-farm-to-fork-broadway-sol-gardens-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Broadway Sol Gardens in Sacramento. \u003ccite>(BMSG)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>As advocates work to make sure that their policy wins translate into increased participation in urban agriculture, they are simultaneously running youth programs to develop the next generation of advocates and make the future of urban farming more robust, diverse, and inclusive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These include a variety of after-school programs, school gardens, and the development of a new \u003ca href=\"http://www.scusd.edu/school-program/luther-burbank-urban-agriculture-academy\">Urban Agriculture Academy\u003c/a>, or core learning trajectory, at Luther Burbank High School, which has a student body that is 97 percent youth of color, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.cde.ca.gov/sdprofile/details.aspx?cds=34674393431012\">California Department of Education\u003c/a> data.

Although the farm stand offered healthy and affordable food options, it was surrounded by convenience stores like 7-11 and other vendors selling foods like fried chicken, doughnuts, and alcohol. “There was no way we could win that fight,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Stay focused on the big picture, despite setbacks.\u003c/b>\u003cbr>\nSocial change can take years or decades. Whether it’s establishing a new farmers’ market or passing a series of ordinances that help remove barriers and reshape people’s ideas about what is possible, McPherson emphasized that these victories speak to “the power of small groups” and show that they can accomplish major feats when they work together and persist in the face of adversity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More lessons from and details about how Sacramento’s healthy food advocates are working to expand urban agriculture are available in the Berkeley Media Studies Group’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.bmsg.org/resources/publications/farm-every-fork-rewriting-narrative-urban-agriculture-sacramento\">full case study\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
