DESCRIPTION:Kitchen Table Talks is excited to announce its new partnership with the 
 Center for Urban Education About Sustainable Agriculture (CUESA). We’ll 
 be co-hosting some events together and starting off with a great panel on 
 Tuesday, March 2, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. to discuss, “Produce to the 
 People: New Ideas for Local Distribution.” The conversation will focus on 
 alternative models for local produce distribution and will be held in the 
 Port Commission Hearing Room on the second floor of the Ferry Building. The 
 event is free and open to the public. No RSVP is required.\n\nThe Bay Area 
 is fortunate to have abundant local produce available at multiple 
 farmers’ markets and stores. But not everyone has access to, or can 
 afford, farm fresh produce. Many restaurants and businesses also want to 
 buy local, but don’t have the time or staff to shop locally. The 
 conversation will tap into best practices and lessons learned from three of 
 the Bay Area’s most interesting initiatives and address the creative ways 
 these organizations are getting local produce to more people, including 
 those in underserved and neglected communities. \n\nPanelists 
 include:\nGrayson James, Executive Director of Petaluma Bounty, a 
 non-profit organization that helps people grow their own healthy food, 
 redistributes surplus food, and provides affordable fresh food to 
 low-income families and seniors; Melanie Cheng, Founder of FarmsReach, a 
 new online farm food marketplace that connects farmers to business buyers; 
 and Christine Cherdboonmuang, Coordinator of Healthy Farms/Healthy 
 Communities for Oakland’s East Bay Asian Youth Center (EBAYC) and the 
 Oakland School District which works to bring farm stands directly to 
 parents at 12 Oakland schools. \n\nThe panel will be moderated by Michael 
 Dimock, President of Roots of Change (ROC), a nonprofit, organization whose 
 purpose is to spawn a sustainable food system in California by the year 
 2030.\n\nPlease join us at 6:30 p.m. for our conversation; refreshments 
 will be donated thanks to a collaboration with BiRite Market. As always, 
 Kitchen Table Talks is a joint production of CivilEats and 18 Reasons.\n\n
