The mission then and now is to bring together communities to end food injustice and reverse global warming by rescuing and sharing locally-grown food with those who have been systematically marginalized. We envision a just food system in which everyone has access to healthy food that honors and nourishes our community and heals the planet through eliminating food waste. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFarm to Fight Hunger is a non-profit organization that grows\, harvests and delivers fresh nutritious produce\, free of charge\, to those in Sonoma County in need of healthy food. Eggs laid by happy pastured hens are also donated to local food banks. We farm in an earth-friendly sustainable manner and work to improve the soil health\, therefore improving the nutritional content of the food we grow\, increasing the amount of carbon the soil can hold and reducing greenhouse gases. We will work to make the farm its own healthy balanced ecosystem\, with habitat for both native plants and beneficial insects. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFarm to Fight Hunger is a Slow Food in Sonoma County Snail of Approval farm. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nFarm to Fight Hunger owners Bruce Mentzer and Anthony Solar\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nP.O.

We were able to become stewards of this land and make this purchase thanks to the discount offered by the former owner\, the generous support of key funders\, and with the permission of Graton Rancheria. \nHeron Shadow: An Indigenous Biocultural Heritage Oasis is a home for the dreaming\, building\, growing\, and transmission of The Cultural Conservancy’s mission and work. We are transforming this gift of land into an innovative haven that will focus on the conservation and regeneration of Indigenous agriculture\, Native Sciences\, and healthy lifeways. \nWe invite you to connect with this land\, engage in the dream\, and experience the potential of Heron Shadow. \n(The Cultural Conservancy is a Native-led nonprofit organization founded in 1985. It is based in the San Francisco Bay Area.) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:The Mendocino Grain Project and Ridgewood Ranch Farm Tour
DESCRIPTION:Farm Tour: The Mendocino Grain Project and Ridgewood Ranch\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease join us for a tour of the Mendocino Grain Project in Ukiah followed by a tour and picnic lunch at Ridgewood Ranch.\nSaturday\, June 15\, 10 am\n3541 N. State Street\, Ukiah\nThe tour is limited to 15 people. Tickets are $20 for Slow Food members and $30 for non-members.\nProceeds will be shared equally by the Mendocino Grain Project and the chapter’s Local Farmer project.\nRidgewood Ranch is about 20 minutes north of Ukiah. You may choose to leave after our tour\, or continue north to visit the Ranch and have a brown-bag lunch. Carpool options will be sent upon registration confirmation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBUY TICKETS HERE \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRachel Britten is the owner of the Mendocino Grain Project in central Mendocino County. She grows primarily wheat and rye on 34 acres in Redwood Valley. She took over the business in 2020 from Doug Mosel who started it in 2009. \n“We’re right on the Russian River\, and we don’t use any fertilizer other than compost and cover crops. We use a low-tillage system\, which means minimizing the disturbance to the soil. It’s part of my farming values\, but it also feels like a responsibility to my community. Local farming creates a really beautiful loop of accountability and understanding.” (Alta Magazine) \nRachel processes her grain for sale\, and also partners with other farmers to process their grains post-harvest: quinoa\, rolled oats\, heirloom beans\, and Einkorn. A percentage of the grain stays with the Grain Project for sale and the remainder goes back to the farmers. \nRachel lives on a ranch made famous as the retirement home of champion race horse Sea Biscuit. Ridgewood Ranch is north of Ukiah\, and we will have a chance to tour the ranch and have a brown-bag lunch after our visit to the grain milling facility in Ukiah. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Showa Olive Farm Tour
DESCRIPTION:Showa Olive Farm Tour\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContinuing our 2023 farm tours\, next we will be visiting Cloverdale and touring \nShowa Farm\nThursday\, October 5\, 10 am\n26070 River Road\, Cloverdale\nTickets are $10 for Slow Food members\, and $20 for non-members. \nWe will tour the farm and taste the Arbequina olive oil with Geoff Peters\, the owner. We will see the olive trees full of olives right before harvest and learn about his farming practices— Showa is both organic and biodynamic. There will also be time to visit the animals he has on the property (chickens\, goats\, sheep\, and two donkeys). After our tour\, Geoff will host a tasting of his award-winning olive oil. \nThe ground will be uneven on this tour so we recommend you wear flat\, comfortable shoes. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGet Your Tickets Here \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nHarvesting at night \n\n\n\n\n\nShowa Farm\nLocated in the Alexander Valley\, Showa Farm is family-owned. We use best practices based on biodynamic and organic farming principles. The olive orchards are 90% Arbequina olive trees with the remaining trees being pollinators. \nOur estate-grown organic extra virgin olive oil is made solely from hand-picked Arbequina olives. Using well water\, drip irrigation\, low-density no-till farming\, we organically press each small batch to create this flavorful and super high-quality EVOO. \n100-percent of our electric usage comes from our solar panels and our water is all-natural aquifer well water administered to the orchard using drip irrigation. We raise goats\, chickens\, a burro\, a horse and dogs. We grow fruits and nuts as well as vegetables to add to the diversity. \nOf the 30 acres on the farm\, only 8 are devoted to olive trees with another 2 acres devoted to other non-commercial organic gardens\, trees\, and food production. Even the 8 acres of olive trees are planted 16-18 feet center on center allowing very large areas for air circulation and lots of sunlight. This low-density approach has allowed us to be disease and pest free and has improved the quality of our olive oil. \nShowa was selected as one of the top 100 olive oils in the world three times at the New York International Olive Oil Competition.

Established in 2020\, we started by reviving a neglected pomegranate orchard. Working alongside a team of local experts\, we’re on journey to develop a sustainable\, bio-diverse farm. From revitalizing the soil and fixing irrigation\, to selecting our seasonal crops\, we’re growing every day. For every pound of produce we sell\, we donate a pound to local organizations fighting food insecurity in Sonoma County. \nReinvigorating the soil\, and restoring the biodiversity\, will not only lead to higher-nutrient produce\, but will also increase carbon draw-down and support climate improvement. \nToday\, the property includes 400 pomegranate trees and 4 acres of a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. We aspire to build a sustainable family farm using a holistic and ethical approach to growing. We believe that mindful farming practices\, bio-diversity\, and local engagement will positively impact the health of our community and the planet. \n

SUMMARY:Olive Oil Tasting on the Farm
DESCRIPTION:Spend an afternoon with us learning what goes into producing a local olive oil\, and tasting the differences among the oils.\nwith \nColleen McGlynn\, DaVero Farm and Winery \nRuss Messing\, Deergnaw Olive Oil \nDawn Lindelof\, Moon Dog Olive Farm \nNancy Lilly\, Tallgrass Ranch \nTickets are $20 each for Slow Food members\, $30 for non-members. \nEach producer will describe the production of their olive oil\, from the selection of tree varieties through their cultivation\, to harvesting and pressing of the olives\, and blending and bottling the oil.\nTo better appreciate our small production local producers\, read Extra Virginity: The Sublime and Scandalous World of Olive Oil\, by Tom Mueller before attending this event! \nDaVero\n“Grow what belongs here. Be patient.” This simple premise summarizes everything we’ve learned\, and guides us in everything we do — how we care for our land\, how we farm\, how we make wine and olive oil and the myriad other products from this magical place. \nIn 1988\, after careful research and some incredible luck\, we took cuttings from an ancient olive grove in the hills to the east of Lucca\, in the heart of the Tuscan countryside. The trees from which we took the cuttings are over 800 years old\, and the farm has been in the same family since the 1400s! While the varieties are common across Tuscany\, and the proportions typical (50% Leccino\, 25% Frantoio\, 15% Maurino\, and 10% Pendolino)\, that grove has very distinct clones — essentially\, sub-varietals — whose fruit makes an oil with a flavor profile unlike any other. \nDeergnaw\nDeergnaw Olive Oil is a unique blend. We don’t think that there is any other oil that has the particular varietals of our oil. From Lombardia in the north of Italy\, the Cassaliva; from Liguria\, also in the north\, Taggiasca; from Puglia in the extreme south-east\, Coratina; and from Apulia\, also in the south\, Nocciara. There is also a smattering of Picholine from France and a touch of Pendolino from Tuscany as the pollinator. \nApproximately 700 trees comprise our three and a half acre orchard. We planted the trees\, mostly one gallon size\, fifteen years ago and the first fruit appeared three years later. Since then\, each year we have had an ever-greater yield. This year the orchard produced 7 tons of olives\, which translated into 150 cases of 500 milliliter bottles compared to 69 cases in ’07. \nMoon Dog\nPlanted and farmed by two crazy people that didn’t think about the work–they just wanted to make their slice of the world a little more delicious! \nMoon Dog Olive Farm is planted to traditional Tuscan varieties; Leccino\, Frantoio\, and Pendolino. The 280 trees are organically farmed by Dawn and Chris Lindelof in their “spare time.” Moon Dog Olive Farm is located in the Northern part of Alexander Valley in Cloverdale\, not far from the Russian River. This Extra Virgin Olive Oil is only available at the farm and at local markets and special events. Every vintage is a little different. But the fruity fragrance and spicy finish is definitive in every bottling. We can’t wait to show you our place. \nTallgrass\nTallgrass Ranch Estate Blend Olive Oil is fruity with a medium amount of bitterness and pungency. This is not achieved merely by combining all the gallons of oil that we produce. Instead\, each year we hold the oil from each harvest day separately so that we can gauge the unique qualities of each batch. Only then do we make blending decisions\, hoping to be able to use all of the oil produced each year in our Estate Blend\, but sometimes needing to exclude some. \nThe Italian trees\, primarily Frantoio and Leccino\, supported by pollinators Pendolino\, Moraiolo\, and Maurino\, provide the backbone of the blend\, having high levels of fruitiness\, green and grassy touches\, as well as high polyphenols—that bitterness and pungency that might make you cough\, but which also provide the anti-oxidants that protect both the oil and your own body. The French Columella\, and its pollinator\, Aglandau\, provide a more buttery fruitiness\, with notes of apple and green banana\, and much less bitterness and pungency. The resulting blend is a great complement to many cuisines.

While Rebecca was looking for land\, her daughter suggested calling the farm Lantern Farm. This seemed like a fine name and the name Lantern Farm was born. A short while later\, and conveniently just down the street\, Rebecca and her family were looking at a potential farm site on River Road that used to be a prune orchard many years ago and has been fallow since. While inspecting the barn\, two old lanterns were hanging on the back wall\, a sure sign that this land was to be Lantern Farm. That was in winter of 2016. The lease was signed in April of that same year\, and Lantern Farm has been growing ever since.
