apart from the author missing the fact that I did NOT start

Even though <b>mo foods</b> has stopped producing, we fully support this effort to bring more home-made tastiness to the world, and to give small food businesses the chance they need to connect with their customers.

<br />
Egg cartons make great seedling starters because they're free, biodegradable, and tidy, but using left-over lemon peel halves is just as good, if not better looking. You can also use egg shells, which will be a little smaller, or rolled newspapers to choose your own size.<br />

Slow Food's recent <a href="https://secure3.convio.net/sfusa/site/SPageServer?pagename=5Challenge_Home">$5 challenge</a> and the corresponding abundance of delicious <a href="http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150383052305152.408979.110270970151">$5-10 meal recipes</a> they continue to post also serve to dismantle this claim. Bittman goes even further, quoting <a href="http://www.foodpolitics.com/about/">Marion Nestle</a> to point out that the problem is less about eating junk food, and more about not cooking for ourselves.<br />
<br />
Bittman is relentless in tackling the barriers to eating well: <a href="http://apps.ams.usda.gov/fooddeserts/foodDeserts.aspx">food deserts</a>; lack of time (spent watching television instead, for example); thinking of cooking as "work"; the <a href="http://www.scripps.edu/news/press/20100329.html">addictiveness of hyperprocessed food</a>; ubiquity of fast-food restaurants (<a href="http://healthland.time.com/2011/08/12/the-ratio-of-fast-food-restaurants-to-grocery-stores-in-america-is-51/">5-to-1 ratio of fast-food outlets to supermarkets</a>), aka "food swamps".<br />
<br />
The conclusion is that changes need to happen at the cultural and political levels. Organizations like <a href="http://cookingmatters.org/">Cooking Matters</a> and <a href="http://freshapproach.org/">Fresh Approach</a> work with families and communities, combining education, incentives, and outreach. Politically, we need to pay attention to the <a href="http://fastfoodmarketing.org/fast_food_facts_in_brief.aspx">powerful marketing by the fast-food industry</a>, and start to understand the effects of <a href="http://www.foodpolitics.com/2011/09/weekend-reading-food-politics-reports/">US farm subsidies</a> on our overall agricultural system.<br />
<br />
Kudos to <a href="http://twitter.com/bittman">Bittman</a> and the NY Times for a great analysis of many of the issues contributing to healthy food access. At <b>Share | Kitchen</b>, we plan to offer workshops discussing these very topics. Stay tuned!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8021858559800771763.post-67274509426524195252011-09-13T15:15:00.000-07:002011-09-13T15:15:27.367-07:00Share | KitchenIf you have been following our <a href="http://twitter.com/ShareKitchen">active Twitter stream</a>, you'll know by now that mo foods is evolving. Our adventures this past year have led us from tapping our local resources to create tasty products, towards becoming one of those very resources for the greater SF Bay Area food community. In our search for a commercial kitchen with which to expand mo foods and legally sell at the underground markets (<a href="http://foragesf.com/market/">SF Underground</a> and <a href="http://newtastemarketplace.org/">New Taste Marketplace</a>), we realized that there currently just aren't very many options. <br />
<br />
We'll give a hearty shout-out to those that exist and are already supporting many of our vendor friends: <a href="http://www.eclecticcookery.com/">Eclectic Cookery</a> in the Hunter's Point Shipyard, <a href="http://www.lacocinasf.org/commercial-kitchen-rental-information/">La Cocina</a> incubating low-income vendors, even the <a href="http://www.artisankitchen.org/">Artisan Kitchen</a> in Richmond has a lovely open warehouse. <br />
<br />
Into this mix we add our new project, <b>Share | Kitchen</b>. This space will be a food community hub, offering a commercial kitchen for rental, pop-up dinners, cooking classes, and food justice workshops. We are developing relationships with local farmers and hope to be able to house a monthly CSA box distribution site and seasonal ingredient sources for our vendors and chefs, exemplifying the farm-to-table stream.<br />
<br />
Right now we're refining our business plan and talking to investors as we look at potential locations. Would you like to join us on this adventure?

She, similarly to <a href="http://mo-foods.com/">mo foods</a>, can't stand to see the waste of fresh fruits and produce, so she will come to your house and pick it for free. All of her collected produce is then delivered to local food banks, such as the <a href="http://salvationarmyconcordca.org/">Salvation Army Food Pantry</a>. Her website/blog also has an easy search function to help you find your nearest location.</span><br />
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Here at mo foods we commend Anna's efforts to prevent waste and share the amazing bounty around us with people who would not otherwise have access to fresh, healthy food. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Do you live in Contra Costa County? Anna will come pick produce in: Concord, Clayton, Pleasant Hill, Martinez, Lafayette, Orinda, Walnut Creek, Alamo, Danville and around Mt.

At the cutting edge of experimentation are the growing number of egalitarian, and often green, worker-owned cooperatives. Hundreds of 'social enterprises' that use profits for environmental, social or community-serving goals are also expanding rapidly.

I had one hour. <br />
If I had had more time, I would have hit up a bunch of hot local food vendors, creative artisans like <a href="http://noshthis.com/products/">Nosh This</a>, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/nutescupcakes">Nute's Cupcakes</a>, <a href="http://simplymochi.com/">Simply Mochi</a>, or <a href="http://hitchhikingtoheaven.com/">Shae Irving's Jams</a>. <br />
But with my limited time, I hit <a href="http://shop.samovarlife.com/">Samovar Tea Lounge</a> and <a href="http://biritemarket.com/in-the-market/">Bi-Rite Market</a> and put together a little package that would feed her for the 2 weeks she's in town and further pique her interest in SF food culture. <br />

<br />
We were happily surprised to get a last-minute invite from Iso Rabin. They've been trying to rotate new and more established vendors and mo foods has sold at several Underground Markets since last July, so we understood that other small food makers deserved to get a chance. When one of them couldn't make it, we got lucky. This also meant that we had to scramble a bit to get product ready and get help. Jae has been furiously finishing up her combined MBA/MPH, and suffering from a badly torn patellar tendon, so her mo foods activities have been heavy on strategy and light on labor. She still managed to make a fresh batch of delicious Nasturtium Pesto--what a trooper!<br />
<br />
Our generous friend Yea agreed on short notice to help out at the market for a few hours, and Food Artisan Geoff made up a big batch of Hand-Squeezed Sparkling Lemonade. The Nasturtium leaves were picked in the rain, which was damp but poetic. We jarred a bunch of Preserved Meyer Lemons, grabbed some Spicy Pickled Oranges from the shelf, and tossed a few bottles of secret mo'shine into the bin too.<br />
<br />
Prep day-of was a bit scrambled and frantic but we made it to <a href="http://publicsf.com/">Public Works</a> just before the customers started arriving. Getting to market late means that you don't get great placement. Public Works is huge, with two floors and lots of nooks and crannies so more vendors can fit, but some of them end up in dark corners, like us. We're not complaining, just recognizing that placement can make a difference for sales. <a href="http://www.baiapasta.com/">Baia Pasta</a> was next to us on Saturday and they didn't sell nearly as much of their amazing pasta as they had at the 3/12 <a href="http://newtastemarketplace.org/">New Taste Marketplace</a>. On the bright side for us, Dario and Renato are good company regardless of the lighting.<br />
<br />
The well-intentioned <a href="http://foragesf.com/market/volunteer/">Forage SF volunteers</a> helped me unload my borrowed car and get my supplies into the space. Sadly, the lemonade didn't make it. Our entire 5 gallon tub got spilled by accident. It was big loss, both financially and for the effort that went into it, from picking the lemons, juicing them all by hand, mixing just the right amount of sparkling water and simple sugar, hauling the heavy jug up and down stairs. I was pretty upset and just stood there for a minute trying to keep myself composed. The volunteer felt terrible about it, and Iso was kind enough later to waive our vendor fee. <br />
<br />
As we were setting up, there was a New York Times photographer snapping photos of our jam neighbor <a href="http://www.facebook.com/urbanpreserves">Urban Preserves</a>. I encouraged him to come back and get us too when we were ready. Unfortunately, our table never looked that great. The Nasturtium leaves I brought were wilted all day (a metaphor for my own state), the balloons floated sadly at half-mast (I had bought them the night before and forgot to keep them in a bag to reduce the amount of helium that leaked overnight), and the lemonade accident meant we didn't have our bright orange tub on the table drawing attention and adding color. Half-way through the day someone pointed out that something under the table was leaking--it was the 2 bags of ice we had brought for the lemonade. I tried to find someone else who could use it, failed, and ended up dumping it in the bathroom sink, which had no hot water to speed up melting. <br />
<br />
Despite our struggles all day, we did manage to sell out of Nasturtium Pesto and Preserved Meyer Lemons. My friend Yea was such a help cutting up and offering samples to customers, and she generally cheered me up. We had some wonderful interactions with customers (a couple from South San Francisco who bought one of everything, including the mo'shine). Our great fan Chromatic showed up totally jazzed about replenishing his pantry with our Preserved Meyer Lemons. He even posed for the traditional <a href="http://ow.ly/i/9BjE">Twitter photo-op</a>. And we connected with some of the new vendors (780 Sweets' caramels are delicious!) and potential food-makers (follow your hearts, pickle boys!).<br />
<br />
A Chronicle reporter came by, very excited about telling the <a href="http://foragesf.com/market/about/">SF Underground</a> story that she had been trying to pitch to her superiors for a year. We told her about attending the first market in a house in the Mission, where the honey vendors were selling out of the bathtub, and Shakirah Simley knocked everyone's socks off with her <a href="http://www.eatslowjams.com/about/">Slow Jams</a>. By 3:00 pm my throat was pretty sore from doing so much talking.<br />
<br />
So all in all, the day was hard, but still worth it. I wanted to share this recounting of it all with our followers and with other artisanal food vendors in the spirit of encouragement despite frustrations and challenges. We were reminded of lessons we already knew (get to market early!) but recognized that some days, things don't go the way you want them to. And that's just part of life.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8021858559800771763.post-4049753733653729842011-03-25T22:31:00.000-07:002011-03-25T22:34:25.627-07:00Market Sat 3/26!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">We're a last minute addition to the <a href="http://foragesf.com/market/">SF Underground Market</a>--woohoo!!</span></span><br />

Working with Elianna and all the volunteers at <a href="http://www.saintgregorys.org/">St. Gregory's</a> made the day run smoothly and with the <a href="http://thefoodpantry.org/">spirit of generosity</a> flowing through all our interactions. We really love vending there each month and being active and contributing members of our community, and hope you come out to support the event if you haven't already.<br />
<br />
We will not be selling at the <a href="http://foragesf.com/market/">SF Underground Market</a> this month after all, but encourage you to check out the <a href="http://publicsf.com/venue">Public Works</a> space and support all our fellow food makers while you fill your bellies with deliciousness.<br />
<br />
Lastly, we have tons of Spicy Pickled Oranges on our shelves, thanks to BJ and her beautiful orange tree. Let us know if you'd like to get your hands on one of the regular 8 oz jars, or if you're a true aficionado (like Nick!) and want to stock up on the 32 oz big ones, which are a great value.<br />

<br />
We also plan to be at the <a href="http://foragesf.com/market/">SF Underground Market</a> at Public Works on Sat. 3/26 11-4pm. We're excited to be in this new space for the market. We've come dancing here at night, and are pleased to support <a href="http://publicsf.com/venue">Public Works</a> in their mission to promote SF's "underground scenes and styles". <br />
<br />
The bigger news is that we will be premiering a <u>weekly pick-up day for online orders</u>. Several of you have asked to get jars of our delicious <b>Spicy Pickled Oranges</b> or tasty <b>Preserved Meyer Lemon</b>s, and you say you can't wait until we next go to market. Well, now you won't have to! We'll take orders online and you'll be able to pay online (look for the Paypal link coming shortly) or when you pick up, via check or cash. Pickup will be at our place in Potrero Hill until we have a real retail space. Stay tuned for pickup dates, ordering instructions, and Paypal links. Feel free to give us feedback on the process too.<br />
