Rhapsodies Homeward Nice job on the investigative article by Tom Gogola regarding the accumulation of single-family homes by mega-corporate interests (“Homewrecker,” July 8). The tax code should be changed to limit or eliminate mortgage interest deduction on “investment” homes in order to dis-incentivize investors and keep that housing stock available for buyers who want to live in them.

Unsustainably Grown Like many of my Graton neighbors, I am upset by the full-page ad posted last week by the Sonoma County Wine Commission in the Press Democrat about its “sustainable” growing practices. [Note: The ad ran in the Bohemian too.] These local winegrowers claim they are “growing a better place for us all to live, work and play.” This was published the same week I called the county agricultural commissioner after my housemate had six rounds of vomiting after nearby Dutton Ranch sprayed its vineyards. The biologists think it was from a fungicide with the charming name of Luna Experience. We have little or no recourse. For 14 years, I used to enjoy inhaling the sweet, pure country air on my wild 11 acres. Now I rush into the house to get away from the smell of pesticides, and fear I am being poisoned. I enjoy the atmosphere of conviviality of my local wineries, but there are too many now. They suck the water from the water table and are dangerous to creatures tiny and large. They used to lift my spirits. Now they break my heart.

Unfair Why doesn’t the Sonoma County Fair showcase more local food? BY EVAN WIIG

acaroni-stuffed cheeseburgers on Krispy Kreme doughnut buns with a side of deepfried watermelon. What struck me most about the offerings at last year’s Sonoma County Fair wasn’t the calorie count, but the far-ﬂung locales listed on the cardboard boxes stacked high behind each food vendor. This year, for nearly three weeks, we’ll embark on the same epic undertaking to import enough food from other counties, states and countries to feed the few hundred thousand visitors coming to celebrate this county’s agricultural heritage. The sheep-shearing and cow-milking demos—and, of course, the horse races—will impress, but the fair’s most astounding marvel will be the complex distribution system funneling in enough sustenance from abroad to feed the local food mecca we call the North Bay. I sincerely applaud the efforts of those hosting the fair, in particular the 4-H programs that will, we hope, encourage a new generation of growers in a county where the average age of farmers has risen to nearly 60. But when those crowds get hungry, it won’t be the winning kid’s handsome hog they eat, but pork imported from an Iowa feedlot by a Chinese conglomerate. This summer’s “Down on the Farm”–themed fair offers us an accurate representation of our county at large; besides a few apple pies, ice cream and ol’ Willie Bird turkey legs, we import the vast majority of our food. And while it’s hard to grab lunch in this county without running into that ubiquitous “Eat Local” sign, how many of those local eateries (who remind us of our moral obligation to support the local economy) source their ingredients from local farms? Nearly $2 million has been raised to build Saralee & Richard’s Barn, a pavilion on the fairgrounds that will be a center for agricultural education. “Eating is an agriculture act,” wrote visionary writer and farmer Wendell Berry. My prayer for the new pavilion is that it draws connections between production and consumption, the fair’s bucolic decor and its food vendors. Because even when it comes to macaronistuffed cheeseburgers and deep-fried watermelon, most of the ingredients can—and are—being grown here. So let’s ﬁre up that deep fryer and support our local farmers!

Rants

It had been another long day. He leaned back too far in the chair, daring Destiny to take him over backward. She didn't, and he smiled having cheated her one last time. He didn't know it, but it wouldn't be his last opportunity to do so before the sun returned from the other side of the world to char him all over again. He stood up and went to the book closet at the opposite end of the room. He opened the stainless steel door and entered the access code. Once inside he closed the door behind him and made his way to the rear compartment. He lifted his hand, palm out and chest high, to feel for the Bio-I.D. pad that would allow him, and only him, to enter the inner chamber where the article of his attention tonight lay on a luminous blue pad. Standing in front of the article a person is quickly taken by the sense of mass it conveys despite its modest size. It is inside of a rectangular box of about 14 inches across and 8 inches deep. The box is made of a metallic material but a closer look reveals it to be made of an almost fleshy metalized film with a fine pore-like texture to it. He has never opened it and most others who know of its existence hope that he never will. It is said to contain the Law, or something like the Law. At first thought, knowing the actual text of the Law would seem to make the meaning of life here on Earth clearer and possibly even purposeful. However, after a long argu-ment, some of the world's greatest thinkers concluded years ago that given human nature, knowledge of the true nature of the Law, no matter what it was, would quickly render life as we have known it, meaningless. Only chaos and suffering could result. Now, after decades of stew-ardship of the Law, he had determined his course of action and tonight and no man or petty tyrant would keep him from his rondesvous with destiny. He closed his eyes and removed the lid, setting it aside. He opened his eyes and squinted at the glare from the article. He reached in with both hands, cradled it in his palms, and lifted it out of the box. Holding it in one hand, he brushed it up and down against his shirt to shine it up a bit before raising it to his face. Opening his mouth slightly and wetting his lips, he placed it between his front teeth and, with a wet crunching sound, bit a noisy tangent through the article and chewed. Sensing a familiar flavor spreading across his tongue he decided that; Yes, sometimes an apple is just an apple...In the beginning, there were ales. As far as anyone knows, the first beers made were 'top fermented', which is longhand for 'Ale'. Sometime before the 1860's, beers became popular that were made in northern Europe with a bottom fermenting yeast strain that liked the colder temperatures. Because they had to spend weeks aging before they tasted their best, they were known as 'Lager' beer. Lager is the German word for 'storage'. Since they had to sit a while, they took up more time and space and as such were harder and more expensive to make. But they were crisp and light and you could slam them down if you wanted to. Where ales are meaty, lagers are sinewy. Where ales are street, lagers are 'haute couture'. Where an ale might hit you over the head and take your wallet, lagers donate to charity and adopt stray cats. While an ale might steal your car or try to date your daughter and keep her out all night for who-knows-what purpose, a well-bred lager would offer to clean your house while you're on vacation and leave fresh scones and coffee for you when you return. Now, don't get us wrong, ales can be a lot of fun to hang out with when you're in the right mood, and if you have bail money on you. But what's wrong with livin' uptown from time to time, on a nice street, where the doormen all wear those funny uniforms, the air smells of flowers, and lagers rule the Earth...Although the table in the cafe on Grant Street at which they sat was round, the man and the woman from up north sat on opposite sides of it. Something had come between them. The sun sang it's final strains in the western sky as the cold blue song of the moon rose in pitch and even the waitress could not help these two doubting lovers. Together they read their menus separately. Two as one, one as two. Their pitifullittle scene brought only cruel amusement to the bartenders with the sweat stained armpits who smoked the cheap cigars and wagered on the misery of lovers like these. They had seen it all before and felt only contempt. The two wept openly now and still they could not decide whether it would be Pale Ale or I.P.A. with the entree and if there would be Gnarlywine for dessert. They all felt the loneliness of love and the tragic tyranny of beer...Well, well, well. The head brewer stood opposite the massive brewing vessels that were his to command. His mind raced through the possibilities. What is the temperature of the malt in the grist case overhead? Was the hot liquor tank up to temp? Would the ambient temperature affect the final mash temperature? Should he compensate for the delta temp by running a little higher mash-in temperature? A single degree in either direction would have a life changing effect on both the brewer and the brewee. The beer could be too sweet if a degree high, or too mild and dry if a niggling degree too low. The character of the future beer that this batch would be hung in the balance. The brewer drew a bead on the temp-probe, the mash tun waited, and the world held its breath...

Just as this paper was going to press on Tuesday, July 21, Sonoma County home-care workers took to the streets of Santa Rosa to protest the county’s ongoing refusal to enact a $15 an hour wage. It’s been a big ﬁght in town, and protesters marched to the Sonoma County Administration Building to agitate for a wage hike for the 5,000-plus workers who take care of the elderly and disabled. The county contract for these workers ends in October. The Tuesday protest went down as union and county leaders met for collective-bargaining talks. The county has passed a $15 an hour living wage bill for municipal employees—but not home-care workers, who are licensed and managed under a state program, the In-Home Supportive Services.

up and has minimal equipment requirements. For as little as $75 (or as much as $200), you can have your own fog catcher. Fog catchers have long been used in developing countries like Guatemala, Chile and Nepal, and are simple to construct. All that’s needed are netting, poles, a gutter-like device and barrels for collecting water. If you have space in your yard or are a farmer with lots of acreage, you can set up a space-appropriate fog catcher. According to FogQuest

(fogquest.org), a Canadian nonproﬁt that has built watercollection systems around the world, a fog catcher screen of 40 square meters can catch 200 liters of water a day. The nets are made of a meshlike polyethylene or polypropylene, and resemble an oversized tennis net whose efficiency depends on the spacing of the holes and the coating. According to FogQuest, there are no commercial sources for these screens in North America. But you don’t need ) 10

In a statement, Anita Torres, a home-care worker from Sonoma, highlighted the unfairness of it all: “If you take care of plants and grass, you get the minimum wage, but if you take care of people, the county deems you unﬁt to be paid the minimum wage. It’s time the supervisors get their priorities in line and apply the living-wage ordinance to home-care workers, who are providing one of the most valuable services in the county.” Sonoma County leaders like Supervisor David Rabbitt agree that the workers are underpaid at $11.65 an hour, but he says the county can’t raise the wage to $15 without real pain. Plus, he notes that there are rules under the state Public Employees Relations Board that say you can’t just raise wages willy-nilly, even if it’s the right thing to do. The local wage issue is complicated because the state has already set out to raise wages for in-home workers ) 10

10 Fog Catching ( 8 to buy special screening, says Brock Dolman, cofounder of the Occidental Arts & Ecology Center and co-director of the WATER Institute’s permaculture design program there. Ordinary shade cloth, available at most nurseries, works ﬁne. Whatever the type of screen material used, it must be cleaned and cared for to assure water purity. Tim Page, co-founder of F.E.E.D. Sonoma, says fog catching “could make a lot of sense and might be a potentially viable solution” during this time of water scarcity. But he also observes that, as far as water goes, Sonoma County is in pretty good shape. Page says that foggy San Francisco, which depends on the Hetch Hetchy reservoir for its water, is a good candidate for fog catching. Dolman agrees. When he lectures to groups, he pushes people in San Francisco to put fog-catching devices on their roof gardens. There’s even room for highstyle fog catchers to catch on here. Leave it to the Italians to combine function and design in their fog catchers. Designer Arturo Vittori and Swiss architect Andreas Vogler have created graceful, sculptural fog catchers, some of them 30 feet tall, that allow Ethiopian villagers to harvest water from fog. Called WarkaWater after the Ethiopian ﬁg tree, the catchers are made with locally sourced materials— bamboo, mainly. Closer to home, coastal redwood trees have utilized fogcatching methods for as long as they’ve been around. Biologist Todd Dawson of UC Berkeley has studied the fog-collection systems of redwoods and found they have special leaves that absorb fog-water into the tree. Water not absorbed recharges the groundwater. In 2014, Chris Fogliatti, a researcher interested in the molecular make-up of fog, set up a small-scale project in Tilden Regional Park in Berkeley. Three

weeks later, he’d gathered two liters of water for every square inch of mesh in the fog catcher. Others are taking up the call—only to hit a fog-bank of bureaucracy. West Marin’s Richard Kirschman is an inventor, activist and developer, and says he is scouting a suitable location for his fog-catching project.

Fog catchers are low-impact, low-tech systems that require no electricity and are easy to set up.

Kirschman has consulted with the superintendent at Point Reyes National Seashore, to no avail. The vast parkland would seem an ideal location to gather some fog droplets—lots of open space and lots of fog—but Kirschman hasn’t been able to get past federal rules and regulations in place at Point Reyes that don’t allow for these sorts of projects. That’s too bad, since fog catchers in foggy parts of the world have proven to be a reliable source of water. On the high, fog-shrouded Atacama Desert of Chile, fog catchers are deployed to irrigate barren land so natives can grow crops. The Chilean fog catchers harvest enough water to operate a brewery called Atrapaniebla—which translates into “Fog Catcher.” Unfortunately, the amount of beer produced is limited to 6,000 gallons a year because of chronic water shortages in Chile. Lagunitas Foggy Lager, anyone?

throughout California as a phased-in program, which was initiated in 2011 through the creation of a public authority called the Coordinated Care Initiative.

Under that program, the county has until 2018 to raise the wage to $15 an hour in a collective bargaining arrangement with the Service Employees International Union. But Rabbitt told the Bohemian recently that union efforts to jack wages were more about getting cheapskate counties to boost home-worker hourly rates beyond $8.50 an hour, which is as ungodly as it is unlivable. Rabbitt says Sonoma County is already in the top tier in what it pays home-care workers. It was not immediately clear whether the protest had dislodged a few more shekels from the supervisors, but it is unlikely. —Tom Gogola

Ganja Quixotic The Santa Rosa law ﬁrm Adams & Fietz held a mixer and book event for the local cannabis industry this past Thursday night. The main attraction: a book signing of The Cannabis Encyclopedia by Jorge Cervantes. The crowd of about 35 people came “out of the shadows” for this event. In the house: the Sonoma County Growers Alliance; Women Grow, Sonoma County chapter; Citizens for Responsible Access; a cannabis lab owner; a cannabis garden center owner; and several growers. Cervantes was the star of the show. His book was published on April 20 and he describes it as his magnum opus. “It took me six years beginning to end to write it, and many more years of research,” he said.

“It’s the only book you’ll ever need about cannabis cultivation, says cannabis enthusiast and mixer attendee Suzanne Cardiff. “Every bit of information is in it.” Attorney Benjaman Adams has practiced criminal defense law for about two decades, and is keenly interested in keeping cannabis users out of prison. “I’ve seen all kinds horrendous crimes caused by alcohol, spousal abuse, child abuse, violent assault—all kinds of nasty stuff,” he says. “Other than getting caught with it or growing it, I’ve never seen cannabis ever cause a crime. I think the ‘reefer madness’ and the idea that marijuana is somehow on par with heroin or meth is just insane.” Change is in the air. State Sen. Mike McGuire authored a bill that would create a regulatory apparatus around California’s hodge-podge of medical cannabis laws. “I enjoy how the cannabis community is becoming bolder in its ability and willingness to adopt sound regulations,” says Craig Litwin, a founding member of Citizens for Responsible Access, a cannabis-advocacy group. A statewide set of regs is considered a necessary prerequisite if California expects to enact a general legalization regime in 2016. “We are at the bottom of the iceberg, and there is this huge amount of opportunity for people,” says Adams, “not only for the marijuana itself, but you have all the ancillary businesses, which can be even more lucrative.” Government ofﬁcials will be involved in making sure it’s a safe product but won’t necessarily be “putting people in a cage over it,” says Adams. —Haley Bollinger

FOOD FOCUSED Jamil Peden calls his style of cooking ‘interpretative American.’

Star Gazer New Applewood chef seeks to restore restaurant to former glory BY NATE J. VOGE

hef Jamil Peden, bearded and tattooed, thoughtful and soft-spoken, walks me through the garden at the Applewood Inn & Restaurant in Guerneville. “Every day I walk through the garden, and I touch everything

and I observe it,” he says. “I try to feel the earth a little bit.” In addition to raised beds with herbs right outside the kitchen, the restaurant has a small orchard with ﬁg trees, Gravenstein apples, pluots, Mirabelle plums and quince, all at Peden’s ﬁngertips. The verdant garden is dotted with strawberries, cucumbers, heirloom tomatoes, tomatillos,

summer squash, peppers and corn. A ﬂock of hens provide the eggs, and eight beehives, the honey. Ultimately, Peden wants 70 percent of his produce grown on-site. After working at Woodfour Brewing in Sebastopol as chef and general manager, Peden landed the executive chef job at Applewood three months ago. The

restaurant and inn is tucked into the redwoods a mile outside of downtown Guerneville. Applewood, which once held a Michelin star, had grown stagnant. Peden wants to remake it into a dining destination. “I want that star,” he says with a smile. “It’s something that I really believe is just going to take time, and I want to do it my way.” That starts with great ingredients, but what matters more is what Peden does with them. His favorite dish on the menu right now is quinoa with green beans dressed in Champagne vinaigrette, fried quinoa-crusted avocado, dashipoached carrots, lacto-fermented carrots and cilantro blossoms. Each component requires a different cooking method, resulting in a cohesive variety of textures and flavors. Most of Peden’s dishes include a fermented element, a smoked element and a colorful array of vegetables. His plating style is modern. He uses the whole space of the plate, and he mixes it up plate-to-plate. “Before it goes to the plate, I think we should earn our salaries,” Peden says. “Anybody can go to the farmers market and pick the same beets. But do we roast them at the proper temperature for the right amount of time? Do we compress it afterwards to really solidify the sugars and flavors? Do we dress it properly? Do we dice it perfectly?” His work ethic and attention to detail are embodied in a tattoo on his forearm that reads “Cut the Mustard.” The tattoo has two meanings. On the literal side, Peden says, it reminds him of how much skill it takes to cut through a mustard seed, and, figuratively, it reminds him to strive to exceed expectations. Peden was raised on the Oregon coast on a vegan diet. After a period of time resenting his parents’ decision to control what he ate, he came to see the positives. “It makes me very comfortable cooking for anybody’s needs,” he says.

Peden started cooking at 17, and earned his chops in restaurants in Seattle, Santa Cruz and Las Vegas. When he was working as Wolfgang Puck’s sous chef in Vegas, he noticed that a lot of the produce was grown in Sonoma County, so he moved to the source. As we talk in the kitchen, Peden effortlessly fillets fish, helps complete an order and directs the waitstaff. He keeps his cooks laughing and relaxed. In a style he calls “interpretive American,” Peden pulls from Japanese, Nordic, Italian and French cuisine. His most important food philosophy is “Don’t fuck it up”—meaning, treat the ingredients with respect, and listen to the seasons. A refreshing chilled buttermilk soup with cucumbers, fennel, edible flowers and sweet balls of bee pollen reflects the Nordic and Southern influences in his cooking. The rich sourness of the buttermilk plays well with the fennel and honey-like bee pollen. Peden’s creative mind is never satisfied, and he likes to keep up with the work of other chefs. “On Instagram,” he says, “I follow a lot of chefs that I’ll probably never meet, never actually taste their food, but I get a lot out of the presentations. One of my favorite things to do is go to [San Francisco] and visit different restaurants for dinner.” By keeping up with the trends of the culinary world, Peden stays away from those he doesn’t like or that are too pricey. “I don’t have lobster on the menu, I don’t have foie gras on the menu,” he says. “That’s not me at all.” When a guest orders the tasting menu, Peden utilizes his three years of serving experience and brings the plate out to the dining room to explain the dishes. He wants to elevate ubiquitous farmto-table cuisine to something it hasn’t reached in Sonoma County. “The thing that gives me the chills, that makes me the happiest, is when a guest tells me that I brought back a childhood memory,” Peden says.

Gleaning the truth about secondcrop grapes BY JAMES KNIGHT

art of the lure of home winemaking has always been getting some wine on the cheap. And as long as you don’t charge for your own time, there’s nothing cheaper than picking free grapes. Traditionally, the home winemaker’s standby was “second crop” grapes. Most grapevines produce two clusters at the base of each new shoot. After these have been picked and trucked off to the winery, however, vigorous vines are free to plump up a secondary crop of tiny clusters farther on down the shoot. They may be just a few berries each, and it can take hours to glean enough for a few gallons of wine. “In my experience, Zinfandel and Charbono are the best for second crop,” says Vince Tofanelli, who grows some of the last such “heritage” varieties in the Calistoga area. “Given a long growing season, those little bunches can make for a very nice table wine.” But don’t go knocking on Tofanelli’s door. His son-in-law has dibs on the second crop—and even then, he has to share with an Italian family that’s been gleaning the vineyard for the past 35 years. “Second crop is probably not as big a deal as it was 30 years ago,” says Nancy Vineyard (yes, that’s her name), co-owner of Santa Rosa’s fermentation outfitter the Beverage People. Time was, says Vineyard, when home winemakers just waited until after harvest and then moved in to pick it. “But that has completely changed.” Diligent growers are trimming excess crop to enhance the quality of the first crop. Many home winemakers are now farming their own hobby vineyards and selling excess crop to others. Beverage People keeps a binder of free listings, with grapes mostly offered at market price, from $1 to $4 per pound. The price tends to drop as it gets closer to harvest time. Vineyard pays at least $2 a pound for Pinot Noir from a grower down the road to make what she calls “end of the road Pinot.” That’s a lot of cash to make a barrel of wine, which takes more than 700 pounds of grapes to fill. But it’s still under $5 a bottle. “And this is the stuff that you buy for $40 or $50 a bottle,” Vineyard says. “This isn’t Charles Shaw.” If you can’t find grapes, the North Bay provides plenty of free harvest opportunities for making blackberry wine—providing that time is no constraint. “People who want to pick blackberries are very committed,” says Vineyard. The Beverage People, 1845 Piner Road, Santa Rosa. 707.544.2520.

Off the Eaten Path Eyeballs: They’re what’s for dinner

hen it comes to putting together our annual food and wine issue, we often look to the bounty of local farms, ranches and vineyards for inspiration. And they are inspiring. But this time around we decided to look off the beaten path for foods and food experiences that range from the esoteric to the straight-up bizarre. So instead of farm-to-table think far out–to-table. —Stett Holbrook ) 20

had to eat that fish eyeball. I just had to. Let me explain. I came up with a recipe years ago that’s proven to be a real hit, though it’s a challenging recipe to do on California’s beaches. “Fish on a Rock” is the recipe, and it’s simple: Catch a fish and gut it. Do not remove the skin, or the head. Start a fire on the beach and place a big, flat rock on top of the fire. Wait for the rock to heat up, put the fish on top of the rock, and cook the fish in the salty breeze as you do a sun dance or whatever. Take a moment to enjoy your surroundings, and squeeze a lemon if one’s handy. Eat the fish as you commune with your inner Survivorman. Eat the whole damn fish. One time, I was out on the beach cooking up a big porgy on a rock. Porgies are a kind of sea perch, wicked popular in the African-American community on the East Coast (“Fry it hard!”). These little scrappers are hella fun to catch—they’re in the same fish family as seabreams. Problem is, California beaches just don’t have the variety of rocks you find in Montauk, N.Y., the mother country out on Long Island’s East End. That’s a land carved out of departing glaciers, and as such, there’s wild variety of stones of various shapes and sizes that were left behind. So says Walt Whitman: “Even to my unscientific eyes there were innumerable wonders and beauties all along the shore, and edges of the cliffs. There were earths of all colors, and stones of every conceivable shape, hue, and destiny . . .”

Alas, Fish on a Rock may not work here—we’ve got crumbly sandstone, volcanic rocks, not much else on our beaches, at least insofar as I’ve experienced them. Fish on a Surfboard won’t work, and anyway, for the most part, you’re not supposed to be lighting a fire on the beach. I suggest you tote an iron skillet to the beach to compensate for the lack of stones. Picture this. It was a fine latesummer afternoon, the porgy was roasting on a rock, and the porgy eyeballs started to bulge as the white fish-flesh sizzled. The eyeballs started to speak to me, like that freaky mounted fish from The Sopranos. They demanded that I eat them! It was a craving such as one might have for a pint of Ben & Jerry’s, but this wasn’t no Phish Food. I fashioned some chopsticks from beach reeds and kept staring at that eyeball, flipped the fish over and stared at the other. It was eyeballing me! I ate the fish fillets, carved out the cheeks—and then moved on to the eyeballs. They weren’t bad; in fact they were quite tasty: salty, squishy, heavy with a fish-fat fishiness— and the trick, I’ve learned, is to let the eyeball linger on the tongue before it slithers down yon gullet. The idea is that you want to extract the micro-burst of fishfat flavor. If that triggers your inner ewww, I suggest you think happy thoughts about oysters and other enjoyably slippery things. Activate your inner Anthony Bourdain, close your eyes, and go for it.—Tom Gogola ) 22

Given their homestead in southern Appalachia, that means going without many warmer weather crops. To make it a bit easier, they each get to choose one food from afar they can’t do without—coffee, bananas, pineapple . . . If it were me, I’d have a hard time choosing my one imported food. I love avocadoes. And chocolate. And coffee. But if push came to shove, and peak oil peaked out sooner than predicted and cargo ships and trucks could no longer make it here, I think I’d be OK. Kevin Swift clued me into a local source for those foods, or at least an approximation of them: the California bay laurel tree. Swift lives in Occidental and is a wild-food forager with a fondness for the aromatic and ubiquitous bay laurel. The leaves are good for seasoning pasta sauce, and the seeds are an underappreciated source of food, one used by local Pomo and Miwok indians for millennia. It takes a bit of work and proper timing, but it’s possible to make “chocolate” and “coffee” from the pods. The trees are related to the avocado, so it’s even possible to make an analogue of guacamole from the seed husks. And like chocolate and coffee, food from bay trees packs a caffeine-like buzz. The time to gather the seeds is about four to six weeks from now. You want them when they start to fall to the ground. Bay seeds are about as big as marbles and quickly turn from green, to yellow, to purple and to black mush. You want them in the purple stage. “They are very ephemeral,” says Swift. Once you ﬁnd a suitable source, remove the ﬂesh to expose the shell. Raw, the nuts are exceedingly astringent. But roasted for 20 to 30

minutes at 250 or 300 degrees and then shelled, they lose their bite and go from nutty to chocolatey to coffee-y. Grind them up with a little sugar and milk, and you’ve got homegrown, homemade chocolate. But be careful how much you eat. “It deﬁnitely has a buzz in it,” Swift says. Coffee is trickier because the nuts are so fatty and oily, but devotées say you can put the ground nuts in a French press and brew as you would a good Ethiopian yirgacheffe. The bay nut can be pickled too. Last month, Swift pickled a batch of nuts in their immature green stage. They turn out like cocktail onions, he says—cocktail onions with a coffee-like buzz. Swift says he prefers taking to the woods than going to the grocery store for food. “I’d rather look for what’s around me,” he says. “There’s so much deliciousness in our backyards. We just don’t look for it.” —Stett Holbrook

Sea Farmer

eidi Herrmann co-owns Healdsburgâ€™s 1.5-acre Strong Arm Farm. She used to make the rounds of local farmers markets, but found selling carrots and lettuce yielded too little money for the effort. Now she focuses on growing more lucrative crops like tuberose lilies for wholesale markets. Sheâ€™s carved out a niche for another crop that has proven to be proďŹ table as well. She doesnâ€™t even have to grow this one, because itâ€™s seaweed. Herrmann, who teaches sustainable agriculture at Santa Rosa Junior College, is a commercial seaweed harvester on the side. About 10 times a year, when the tide is particularly low, she dons rain boots and an external frame backpack and picks her way across the rocky reefs north of Jenner in search of nori, kombu, wakame and a few other species of seaweed. After hauling the sea vegetables up from the shore, she rinses and dries the seaweed and bags it up. The kombu adds a rich, umami ďŹ‚avor to soups and stews. Wakame is great toasted and eaten by itself or added to salads and soups. Nori,

the seaweed used to wrap sushi, is best toasted and crumbled over salads and vegetables. Given the demand, Herrmann could harvest more, but she wants to keep her operation small. Keeping the business small keeps it fun, she says. She doesnâ€™t surf or ďŹ sh, so gathering seaweed gives her a connection to the ocean. â€œMany people have done this before,â€? she says. â€œIt feels part of a continuum.â€? Herrmann enjoys gathering an ancient food that requires a degree of risk and more than a little hard work. She gathers about 250 pounds of wet seaweed on each outing. â€œYouâ€™ve to lug it out. There are dangers. Itâ€™s slippery. There are urchins. I like that itâ€™s not easy.â€? And unlike farming, thereâ€™s no weeding or planting required. â€œI let the ocean do the work.â€? â€”Stett Holbrook Herrmann is leading a sunrise seaweed-gathering outing with Forage SF Aug. 1 that includes a presentation and meal featuring local seaweed at the Jenner Inn the night before.

Eco Green Certified

he goji berry tree became known across the PaciďŹ c Rim thousands of years ago for its nutritional value and sweet taste. Asian immigrants ďŹ rst brought the hearty shrub, Lycium barbarum, to California 200 years ago. These days, the goji berry is touted as a superfood, and now Goji Farm USA is growing the plants right here in Sonoma County. â€œThereâ€™s no aspect of this plant that isnâ€™t highly nutritious,â€? says founder and CEO Tibor Fischl. The Santa Rosa resident and outdoor enthusiast, who, among his other credits, co-invented the worldâ€™s ďŹ rst full-suspension mountain bike 20 years ago, has moved into food production with the same focused attitude. Goji Farm USA produces a beverage called Goji Phyto-Brew from berries and seeds that are roasted, ground and brewed as an organic tea. â€œWith the roasting and milling, we got so much more of a concentrated impact of the gojis than anything else we could do,â€? says Fischl. For the past three years, Fischl has sourced his berries from organic farmers around the country. More recently, Fischl teamed up with Jay Jensen at NovaVine, a family-run propagation farm in the hills just east of Santa Rosa. The farm specializes in growing grape-

vine stock, for wineries, and now goji berries. The current goji crop of 550 â€œmother plantsâ€? is predicted to top a quarter of a million within a few years. Available in the North Bay at retailers like Whole Foods and PaciďŹ c Market for about $4, the slightly tart and earthy tea is refreshing and has a mildly uplifting effect. Unlike caffeinated or sugary beverages, the anti-oxidant and vitamin-rich drink offers a natural alternative to powering through the day. The tea is reportedly high in â€œoxygen radical absorbance capacityâ€? and is touted as a way to combat free radicals, which cause aging and illness. The tea is also very high in folic acid and vitamin B6, two key nutrients, â€œBut the biggest test of the beverage is how you feel when you down one of these bottles,â€? says Fischl. The roasted quality of the tea, best consumed chilled, offers a complex natural berry ďŹ‚avor. â€œItâ€™s a really rich beverage, almost like a goji espresso,â€? says Fischl. Goji Farmâ€™s next harvest is set for this fall, and to celebrate, they are throwing a harvest party Oct. 9. For more information, go to GojiFarmUSA.com. â€”Charlie Swanson

PLAY I SOME MUSIC Ziggy Marley won a Grammy last year, but he says he is more interested in spreading happiness with his music than winning awards.

Ziggy Marley Speaks The second most famous name in reggae comes to the North Bay with a message of love BY HALEY BOLLINGER

eggae star Ziggy Marley plays the Sonoma Mountain Village Event Center in Rohnert Park on Aug. 12, with Steel Pulse opening, as part of his Fly Rasta Tour. We spoke with him about the tour, his music, organic food, love and ganja.

What are you looking forward to about your North Bay show? I’m very excited about coming up to your spot there, you know. I like playing music and spreading this message that we have to spread, and hopefully inspiring some people. I’m always happy about doing that. What is your favorite part of touring?

Playing the music and meeting different people and seeing different parts of the country and the world. I really enjoy that. How did it feel to win the Grammy this last year for best reggae album? It felt good, but that is not the purpose [of my music]. But it was nice.

What messages are you trying to convey through your music? My main message is love, and that is the most important message the world needs, you know, so I want and hope when people come they leave with more love and spread that love all around—spread that love to other people and keep it spreading until one day there will be so much love in the world that

there is no way that war and hate or violence can take hold. Thatâ€™s the objective to spread love, you know.

Ziggy Marley and Steel Pulse play Sonoma Mountain Village on Aug. 12. 1400 Valley House Drive, Rohnert Park. 7:30pm. $43.50; $73.50. somoconcerts.com.

How do you feel about the legalization of marijuana? Itâ€™s going in the right direction and itâ€™s a positive thing for society. Obviously, thereâ€™s the medical value of it, which helps everybody, and then there is the recreational value of it, which can help people, too. Being conscious of its use and educating people about it and educating children and making sure that it is used in a proper way and not abused. Even though we support it, we still have to be conscious that if not used properly it can be destructive, just like anything else.

Why did you start Ziggy Marley Organics? I like food. I like cooking. I make breakfast and dinner for the kids. It turned into an extension of who I am, but also it gives me a chance to talk about health, nutrition and that we should eat properly and be aware of what we are putting into our bodies, especially since a lot of the processed food in America is manufactured and manipulated and has been genetically modiďŹ ed. We should be aware of these things, and this is a platform to talk about that and make people be aware. Food does affect us. Food affects the world.

Full Circle The past is the present in new play at 6th Street BY DAVID TEMPLETON

ast fall, during theatermanagement major Natalie Herman’s first semester at DePaul University in Chicago, she called up her longtime friend Dezi Gallegos, who was in his first semester of film studies at USC.

“Natalie said, ‘Hey, do you have any ideas for new plays?” says Gallegos. “‘I want to produce something you’ve written when we’re both home again in Sonoma County this summer.’ I said I did have a few ideas ﬂoating around, one of which would take place in the past, the present and the future—all at the same time.” Gallegos, 19, is one of the youngest playwright-performers to have performed at the Marsh, an

inﬂuential performance space in San Francisco, where he presented his solo piece God Fights the Plague. Gallegos has never shied away from complex or ambitious projects. Last summer, he cocreated the play Hamlet’s Orphans with a crew of kids under 18, and turned it into one of the most talked-about shows of the year. “We decided right then,” says Herman, “that if we did this, we wanted to do it right, working with the best artists, the best actors and the best director. We wanted Sheri Lee Miller to direct, because she’s so amazingly good and we’d be so lucky to have her—and also because she was our ﬁrst acting teacher, years ago at Cinnabar Theater.” Less than 10 days before the opening of their play, Yesterday Again, Gallegos and Herman, admit they can barely believe it’s happening. Their crazy play about two college kids whose stories play out simultaneously against scenes of their past and future selves is directed by Miller (Arcadia, Of Mice and Men) with a strong cast of North Bay actors. “The play is about how things happen in circles,” says Gallegos, “so it’s unbelievable that it’s being directed by Sheri, who I met when I was eight years old, auditioning for The Tailor of Gloucester.” Gallegos admits the ambitious project would not be happening without the support of Herman, whom he befriended during that same production of Tailor of Gloucester where he met Miller. “It’s a play about life coming around full circle,” Herman says, “and our lives have come full circle to make it happen.” “That,” they simultaneously say, immediately cracking themselves up, “is pretty cool!” ‘Yesterday Again’ runs Friday–Sunday, July 24–Aug. 2, in the Studio at 6th Street Playhouse. 52 W. Sixth St., Santa Rosa. Friday–Saturday at 8pm; 2pm matinees on Sunday. $10–$25. 707.523.4185.

HEY, LITTLE FELLA Paul Rudd is the latest ďŹ ne actor to don a dweeby

uniform for big bucks.

A Bugâ€™s Life Paul Rudd takes on the smallest role of his career in â€˜Ant-Manâ€™ BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

n Ant-Man, set in San Francisco, scientist Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) must keep the shrinking suit he invented back in the â€™60s, which he believes is too dangerous, out of the hands of his former employers, S.H.I.E.L.D. When Pym discovers that S.H.I.E.L.D. is duplicating experiments on the â€œPym particleâ€? formula, he hires burglar Scott Lang (Paul Rudd), just released from San Quentin, to steal the new iteration of the ant-suit. Called the â€œYellowjacket,â€? a bee-size carapace equipped with tiny lasers, the rival suit is the perfect instrument for surveillance and assassination. It will take a village of ants, led telepathically by a pea-size hero, to steal back this terrible weapon. Ant-Man has to negotiate a narrow path between honoring superhero conventions and avoiding clichĂŠs. And for the most part, it delivers what was promised, as well as a few surprises: a fall through the cracks in the ďŹ‚oors of a Tenderloin tenement; an ittybitty ďŹ ght atop a speeding toy train; and a journey deep into the heart of matter itself, featuring psychedelic chrome doodads that pop out of the ether in 3-D. Director Peyton Reed sets up the movie as the story of a parallel set of fathers levered into action by their daughters. Scott has to turn to crime to pay child support for an adorable daughter with two front teeth missing; Pym quarrels with his restless thirty-something offspring, Hope (Evangeline Lilly). Sheâ€™s bitter, with the full wrath of a would-be superheroine whose father wonâ€™t let her wear the amazing ant-suit. There are multiple in-jokes tying this ďŹ lm into the entire Marvel Studios roster. Hearing of the villainâ€™s plot, Scott says, â€œI think our ďŹ rst task is to call the Avengers!â€? When one of his pet ants is killed, Scott threatens the villain with a wee ďŹ st: â€œYouâ€™re going to regret this!â€? This movie about shrinkage has a nice sense of proportion.

RAGS TO RICHES Rags will release their ﬁrst album in three months.

Into the Fold Rags move North Bay DIY scene forward BY CHARLIE SWANSON

inger and songwriter Charlie Davenport, 23, was largely unaware of the North Bay’s independent music scene until he saw a few local bands like the Crux at a backyard party in high school. That’s when his descent into the rabbit hole of local DIY rock and roll began.

“That kept me here,” says the Santa Rosa resident. “There’s always been a sweet, supportive community of people making pretty high-quality music [in the North Bay].” After high school, Davenport brieﬂy considered moving out of state. He lived in Santa Cruz for a year, but was drawn back to Santa Rosa by a

Music

close-knit group of friends and musicians. For the last five years, Davenport has been the guiding voice of the acoustic power-pop band Rags. Well known in the underground house-show scene, the group has grown from a solo outfit to a four-piece band playing melodic, heartstring-tugging indie jams. Those jams will be on display this week when Rags headline a show at 775 After Dark in Sebastopol. Performing with Rags is an impressive lineup of like-minded DIY bands. San Francisco acts Foxtails and Owl Paws bring their ethereal pop, and Santa Rosa trio Snake Walk open the show. Rags have not only evolved in size, but in sound as well. Davenport says he likes to tinker with his material to keep it from getting stale. “We’re really into reworking the songs,” he says. “Every few months, we go through a process of doing a lot of surgery on them.” Up until now, the only way to hear these constantly updated tunes was to see the band live. This fall, Rags will debut their first full-length album, Grounding, which features Davenport’s songs backed by bassist Travis Hendrix, drummer Zak Garn and cellist Jiordi Rosales. The music on Grounding is exceptionally groovy for an acoustic rock band. Davenport and drummer Zak Garn have spent almost 10 years working together, and their rhythms are deeply insync. Angular beats and riffs keep it interesting, while Davenport’s emotional lyrics add to the atmosphere and the cello “sings” along, creating an immersive listening experience. After this week’s performance, Rags take a break from local shows to focus on producing Grounding and readying it for release in three months. The album is being funded with a Kickstarter campaign, which can be found at ragstheband.com.

Roberta Donnay parties like it’s 1925 At a glance, it would appear that singer and composer Roberta Donnay stepped straight out of the Roaring Twenties, with her feathered boas and ﬂapper dresses. But as soon as she opens her mouth to sing, the longtime Bay Area performer proves that her take on classic swing and jazz music is timeless.

Kevin Jorgeson & Tommy Caldwell:

Known best as a vocalist with Dan Hicks & the Hot Licks, Donnay has also sung with the likes of David Grisman, John Hammond and Herbie Hancock. In between these gigs, her passion project is fronting the appropriately named Prohibition Mob Band. Donnay has made a career out of revisiting various eras of American music, and lately her focus on the 1920s and 1930s has contributed to her most acclaimed album yet, Bathtub Gin. Roberta Donnay and the Prohibition Mob Band celebrate their new album with a release party on Sunday, July 26, at Sweetwater Music Hall, 19 Corte Madera Ave., Mill Valley. 8pm. $15–$17. 415.388.1100.—Charlie Swanson
