Food's Future on the South Coast

Organic Food and Farming Consultations

at The Farmer and The Cook

Meeting every Tuesday at 7 PM, Food's Future will address both macro and 
micro issues regarding farming in the South Coast Bioregion with an emphasis 
on the organic alternative. The meetings will be held at The Farmer and The 
Cook in Ojai, hosted by Steven Sprinkel. Special dinner service will be 
prepared that day and available by 6 PM prior to the discussions.

Steven Sprinkel is an organic farmer producing a wide variety of crops in 
Ojai. A producer with much experience in growing and marketing organic fresh 
fruits, herbs and vegetables, he also publishes a monthly column in ACRES,USA 
and is a specialist in public policy, organic farming standards and organic 
certification.

Food's Future is designed to broadly interest anyone who wants to learn more 
about how food is produced and how they may promote a progressive vision of 
agriculture in the South Coast region. That vision must include all producers 
no matter the scale of production, be it ten Valencia orange trees in the 
backyard or ten blocks of citrus in Santa Paula.

This Tuesday evening we will survey our intentions and introduce the various 
aspects of agriculture important to this bioregion.

To address some immediate interest, we will also touch on lavender 
production, processing and marketing.
