Food and Wine Events in the Bay Area
Sat, November 21 - Pie Ranch Workday and Barn Dance - Sat, 21 Nov 2009
Every third Saturday of the month Pie Ranch hosts its barn dance and community potluck. For those of you who don't know, Co-founder Jered Lawson helped launch Buy Fresh Buy Local way back when in 2002 and now serves on the campaign's Steering Committee. Today he carries on his love for local food and farming by digging in at his farm, shaped like a pie and is co-owned by Jered, his wife Nancy and Karen Heisler. Karen runs Mission Pie in the city and is out on the farm whenever she can be. This farm-to-city connection is educating children about farming and is a premier model in the Bay Area.
