Event Details

The WEN Speaker Series continues! Do you know where your food comes from? Or how far your food travels to reach you? Do you know the impacts of your food choices on the environment? Would you like to learn more about these issues? Please join WEN for a special evening engagement to learn more about the Slow Food movement. We’ll be hearing from local experts on food topics such as Community Supported Agriculture, farming practices, and other issues related to something we all depend on. . . food. Edible East Bay Publisher/Editor Cheryl Angelina Koehler will be our featured speaker. She is a foodie by birth and a devoted home cook. She spent 30 years freeing herself from a career in dance and design before emerging as a food writer in 2000. Since then her writing has been presented in the East Bay Express, the San Francisco Chronicle, Lonely Planet Publications, and on KQED radio. Before becoming the senior editor for the Castro Valley Forum, and as an assistant editor for Compass American Guides. Her guidebook to the Sierra Nevada was just released by the University of Nevada Press. Edible East Bay is a quarterly magazine that celebrates the abundant local foods of Alameda and Contra Costa counties. Edible East Bay believes that our food choices do make a difference - to our health, to the health of our planet, and to our enjoyment of life. With that in mind, they work to bring news of our region's family farmers, fishermen, food artisans, chefs, home gardeners, and others who have a dedication to producing and using sustainably produced, local, seasonal foods. To learn more about Edible East Bay visit their webiste: http://www.edibleeastbay.com/ Please feel free to share this invitation with other local food purveyors to share samples and information about their local offerings or share the bounty of your own garden by bringing in fruits or vegetables you’ve grown. We’d love to hear your gardening and cooking tips! For more information visit http://www.wencal.org or contact WEN at info@wencal.org. This will be a Zero Waste event.
