Urban homesteading in Oakland

Community supported appetites: Fun profile of the Bay Area's food-movement power couple, Anya Fernald (former director of CAFF and the woman who pulled off nothing short of a miracle at Slow Food Nation) and Renato Sardo (former head of Slow Food International, now food retailing mastermind). They've turned their Oakland home into a modern homestead, preserving vegetables, making jam and charcuterie, and hosting pig-butchering parties. (New York Times Magazine) We had a blast at Anya's Pig Day II in 2007 and enjoyed her write up of Pig Day 2009 on Civil Eats.

Damn it! How is that folks are so motivated?? But really...these two sound fantastic. I love to read about people being pro-active in change and creating good solid community around it. Makes me feel like the world may not go to shit in the end or not as quickly anyway...
