GOOD December in LA
HOMEGROWN is curating the food, growing, cookin' part of the GOOD December DIY Local Fair and would love to see you there. Any connections you may have to local producers would be most appreciated. Stay tuned for details.
GOOD December is a pop-up community center that offers a different take on the holiday season.
GOOD December celebrates the season by inviting creative community members to curate
an event, learn about innovative products, share projects, connect with non-profit partners and
one another.
GOOD December provides a home base to party, learn, relax, reflect and connect on both the
humanitarian and social spirit of the season. Two straight weeks of musical performances,
parties, panel discussions, presentations, installations, DIY activities and bi-coastal web
chat make this the perfect place to connect with, give back to, and showcase your affiliation with
GOOD people and things.

Thanks for your interest ladies! I'm waiting for a link from the GOOD folks - should be coming later today, I hope. It will link to a calendar of all events for the 18 days of GOOD December. I'm flying in for the first weekend - the DIY Local Fair - where Tara from Silver Lake Farms will be selling what she growns and teaching what she knows, and Taylor Arneson, the guerilla gardener, will be teaching about and selling seedballs.
Monday, December 15th, a lunchtime HOMEGROWN series of skillshares: Erik Knudsen from Homegrown Evolution will be teaching a breadmaking demo, Tara will be doing an organic gardening and seed sowing workshop.
More tba. If you know any local makers or producers who would like to participate in the DIY Local Fair, please send them my way! (cornelia-at-farmaid.org) We are specifically looking for food makers (cheese, honey, kombucha, whathaveyou). I've had a hard time finding folks from Boston. The people I have been speaking to are farmers who are already booked with farmers markets on the weekend - which is great!

Deeply Rooted: Farm Aid & Lisa M. Hamilton
Writer and photographer Lisa M. Hamilton focuses on food and agriculture, particularly the stories of farmers. Her work has taken her from castration time on a Wyoming sheep ranch to a meeting of radical plant breeders in Iowa; from dairy farms in the highlands of Bavaria to sacred rice paddies along the coast of Japan.She is the author of two books: Deeply Rooted: Unconventional Farmers in the Age of Agribusiness and Farming to Create Heaven on Earth. Her work has also been published in The Nation, Harper's, National Geographic Traveler, Orion, and Gastronomica.
On Wednesday, June 25 Lisa and Farm Aid teamed up for an event at Harvard Book Store in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Lisa read from her recent release Deeply Rooted and spoke about her connection to farming as well as how she began on her path as an author and photographer.
Carolyn Mugar, Executive Director of Farm Aid, was there to speak about Farm Aid's work advocating for dairy farmers, who are being paid less than half the cost to produce milk. In honor of Dairy Month, we had a milk tasting where we sampled three different varieties of milk from New England dairy farmers. Chef Peter Davis of Henrietta’s Table at The Charles Hotel provided delicious pig-shaped cookies! Read more about Lisa M. Hamilton on her website and catch up on Farm Aid’s work on the dairy crisis here.
