Join Pie Ranch and Slow Food Santa Cruz for an evening of literature and film.

Authors Lisa Kivirist and John Ivanko will talk about their new book Farmstead Chef.  They will share simple tips for homegrown and homemade cooking, from preserving the harvest to stocking the pantry to building local community around your kitchen table.

Filmmaker Chuck Schultz will be present for a showing of his film, The Last Crop.  This is his story of farmers Jeff and Annie Main, their Good Humus Farm and how they are planning to preserve it as a working, organic farm for future generations.  The film will be followed by a panel discussion, featuring area farmers talking about issues they encounter in staying on the land and what we can do to assist them.  For a synopsis of the film, visit http://vimeo.com/7026032/.
