Organic Farmer Steve Sprinkel Talks in Ojai on
Tuesday, 11th of October. 7 PM
An Island Called Ojai
Based on observations made while writing an article
on Hawaiian organic farming production for ACRES,USA
this summer, Steve Sprinkel discusses a future
marked by higher fuel and freight costs and what consumers may do to offset the expense paying more and the inconvenience of
going without. World as well as local circumstances will illustrate the
possibilities we have nearer to us than many imagine.
Is there a silver lining to the dark cloud
shadowing our economic future?
Steve Sprinkel co-owns The Farmer and The Cook in
Ojai with Olivia Chase. Their grocery/restaurant has thrived owing to specific
principles and a lofty mission that some felt might be their undoing.
Instead, consumers have been drawn to the authenticity of an all-organic food
source, which operates on the fundamentals of local production, seasonal
availability and freshness.
Fresh and Vegetarian. Legitimate adherence to core
Green Values.
The discussion tonight at the Ojai Retreat will
cover the economic benefit of self-limiting and self-empowering principles
that promote better efficiency, community support, and begins to exemplify what
sustainability can be.
Thanks to the Ojai Retreat for making possible this
opportunity
