DESCRIPTION:How did California become a hotbed of pioneering organizations and farms 
 that have transformed the food system locally and beyond over the past four 
 decades? Come celebrate the local organic/sustainable foods movement and 
 the UC Santa Cruz Library's publication of Cultivating a Movement: An Oral 
 History of Organic Farming and Sustainable Agriculture on California's 
 Central Coast.  A tasting from the local Farmer's Market will precede the 
 evening program.\n\n\nEditors will read colorful stories from this 
 anthology focusing on four individuals:\n\n    Amigo Bob Cantisano-Founding 
 organizer of the annual Ecological Farming Conference and one of the most 
 influential figures in California organic agriculture.\n\n    Andy Griffin 
 helped create the 1970s organic-farming renaissance, including growing for 
 Alice Waters' Chez Panisse Restaurant, and joined the burgeoning organic 
 salad greens business in California. \n\n    Maria Ines Catalan was the 
 first Latina migrant farm worker to run certified organic farm in 
 California, and the first Latina in the country who found a farm that 
 distributes produce through a community supported agriculture program.\n\n  
   Dee Harley runs San Mateo County's only active dairy. Harley and her 
 staff care for more than 200 goats, crafting the animals' milk into 
 sought-after cheeses that garner awards at national and international 
 competitions.\n\nAbout the Editors:\n\n    Irene Reti directs the Regional 
 History Project at the UC Santa Cruz Library and is the author and/or 
 editor of many books, including Kabbalah of Stone.\n\n    Sarah Rabkin was 
 raised in Berkeley, teaches environmental studies and writing at UC Santa 
 Cruz, and is also the author of What I Learned at Bug Camp: Essays on 
 Finding a Home in the World.\n\n    Esther Ehrlich is a writer, oral 
 historian, and founder of Story Lines, which creates written and video life 
 histories for individuals, families, and organizations.\n
