SUMMARY:Locavore Wonderland - Berkeley Farmers Markets
DESCRIPTION:The farmers’ market is not just a place for groceries: it’s a great place to find gifts! Preserves\, aged balsamic vinegar\, locally roasted coffee\, hot sauce\, fair trade chocolate\, and local honey are great gifts available all year round. Over the month of December\, join us at the farmers’ market for a holiday gifting series featuring weekly pop-up vendors selling even more gifts for the foodies in your lives—plus handmade jewelry\, woodwork\, soaps & body care\, pottery\, and other handmade goods. \nThe Berkeley Farmers’ Markets are open-air marketplaces where California farmers bring fresh\, locally-grown produce and farm-processed foods to sell directly to consumers. Our markets feature fruits\, vegetables\, nuts\, baked goods\, jams and preserves\, juices\, olive oils\, meat\, cheese\, prepared foods\, and flowers. We are committed to supporting small-scale farmers who practice sustainable agriculture. \nShopping at a farmers market is a wholly unique experience where farmers\, local artisans and shoppers get to know each other\, do business\, and help each other. When you shop at the farmers’ market\, you shop local\, you shop sustainable\, and you shop community. \nIt can be hard to leave the house in the winter season\, especially when your shopping can be as little as a click away. But the wintertime farmers’ market is a special experience worth savoring. Things are a little slower. There’s more time to connect with your vendors. \nOur wintertime Pop-up Gifting Series will feature even more vendors with unique products that tell the story of the shop-local movement. Right at the farmers’ market\, the same place you can buy ingredients for your family dinner\, you can purchase a hand-crafted gift from the person who made it. \nBundle up and slow down this winter season. Take the time to enjoy the thriving community that sustains the slow food movement. Shop local for your holiday gifts at the farmers’ market\, and you may find that the real gift is the experience. \nAbout Ecology Center \nFounded in 1969\, the Ecology Center is a nonprofit organization located in Berkeley\, California that focuses on improving the health and the environmental impacts of urban residents. We address critical issues through a model of education\, demonstration\, replication\, and advocacy. \nLocation \nTuesdays \n12/5/23 \n12/12/23 \n12/19/23 \n\nSouth Berkeley Farmers’ Market\nAdeline St @ 63rd Street\n2-6:30PM\n\n  \nThursdays \n12/7/23 \n12/14/23 \n12/21/23 \n\nNorth Berkeley Farmers’ Market\nShattuck Ave @ Vine St\n3-7pm\n\n  \nSaturday \n12/2/23 \n12/9/23 \n12/16/23 \n12/23/23 \n\nDowntown Berkeley Farmers’ Market\nCenter St @ MLK\n10-3pm\n\n

SUMMARY:YARN DESIGN FROM SHEARING TO SKEIN with Pacific Knitting Retreats
DESCRIPTION:Here are the event details for our day at Red Creek Farm with Peggy\, Matthew and Sarah. I am so looking forward to this great opportunity to be in the company of knitters learning more about our favourite subject – yarn. The end of April is a perfect time to be with the lambs and sheep and the people who care for them and create the products we love to use. I do hope you will be able to join us for this lovely day. \nEvent Schedule and Details: \nArrival and welcome between 10:15am and 10:30am with kick off at 10:30am sharp at Red Creek Farm. \n10:30am – Peggy introduces the Red Creek Farm flock and the farm’s Climate beneficial practices as well as her dye garden. \n11am – 12:30pm – Shearing and Skirting \n12:30pm – 1:30pm:  Lunch on the Back Deck: Participants will be provided a menu from which to choose the contents of a boxed picnic lunch. \n1:30pm: Sarah and her Yarn Recipes – and the art and process of yarn design. \n3:15pm – 4:00pm  Shopping\, questions and farewells. \n$295.00 per person \nThere is an array of accommodation options in Ukiah for those who would like to extend their time in Mendocino County\, including the historic Vichy Springs Resort if you really want to relax and unwind. The mineral hot springs are renowned and have been hosting presidents\, artists and the rest of us since 1854. The hiking on this property is pretty glorious. Use of the baths\, pools and hiking trails are included if you stay at Vichy\, but pools and baths are available for day use also. \nIf there are participants who overnight in Ukiah\, I will host a knitting circle on the evening of the 29th (we can cast on our special event favor together perhaps or just bring your current wip) \nAN IMPORTANT NOTE: Peggy and Jonathan are opening their home as well as their farm to us.
