Fresh and Local

September 5, 2007 | Leave a Comment

Scott Fisher’s other blog, Fresh and Local, promises to be good reading; I’m going to keep an eye on it. The site will include “a directory of local farms, farmers’ markets, wineries, artisanal bakeries and cheese makers, and the like, as well as restaurants.” Scott is a knowledgeable food and wine critic; it was my great pleasure to dine with him recently in San Francisco.

The Itinerants: Bay Area writers who roam the globe. This is my very wonderful writers group. “The Itinerants is a group of journalists in Northern California who focus largely on adventures and travel. Our stories have appeared in such magazines as National Geographic Traveler, National Geographic Adventure, Gourmet, and Islands. We are frequent contributors to the travel sections of the Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, San Francisco Chronicle, Dallas Morning News, and Honolulu Advertiser.” If you don’t already belong to a writers/group, think about joining one, or starting one of your own.

I love Laura Read’s writing, and her Placer County: Back in the Pink — How one woman helped to revive profitability on the family farm is a great example of finding a local story. From the September 3 San Francisco Chronicle Magazine. By the way, I tasted the nectarines Laura wrote about, and she’s right — they’re unbelievably delicious.
