Nathan Lynch
Between Courses
July 10 - July 21, 2007
Pie Delivery Hours: Tuesday - Saturday, 3:00 - 6:00 pm
During his residency, Nathan Lynch will conduct a series of experiments at the transition of Southern Exposure’s life as it prepares to move from its storefront at 2901 Mission Street to another venue. In its place will be the expanded, permanent home of Mission Pie, an urban bakery and farm stand. As a way to help transition these two spaces, Lynch will run a bicycle-powered, pie delivery service out of the gallery. Call 415-282-4PIE to have a pie delivered to your doorstep. Lynch will also collect stories from the neighborhood, make drawings, fashion furniture for the future space, and engage in other unexpected in-between acts. Please come by and join.
Barn Dance,
Saturday, July 21, 2007, 7-9 pm
Come join us in the roadside barn for some fun contra-dancing with our local ranch musicians and caller-extraordinaire, Andy Wilson. Don’t worry if you’ve never been to a barn dance, and if you have, you’ll recognize that this barn was meant for dancing. In order to help cover the costs and help compensate the talent, we’ll be asking for a $5-10 sliding scale donation.
Movie Night & Pie,
Friday August 3rd –7pm
We’ll have our first ever movie night in the barn that is part of a very special day for Pie Ranch. We will be one of the early stops on a nationwide pie-themed tour organized by Sustainable Table, the NY-based nonprofit program that produced The Meatrix and the Eat Well Guide. $5-$500 sliding scale. The proceeds from this event will go towards the campaign to preserve and develop the old Green Oaks Ranch. We'll be serving fresh pie, coffee, and pie ranch popcorn.

“Land Trusts can help in keeping farmland more affordable, but we need enterprising young farmers interested in growing a healthy diversity of crops for local markets. This project has the potential to attract such energy.”
– Walter T. Moore
Vice President, Peninsula Open Space Trust
“Having lived here and farmed for over three decades, I respect our new Pie Ranchers efforts to become both part of the legacy and team players in the neighborhood. I look forward to working with them.”
