Great event happening right here, at the rim of Glen Canyon, at The School Farm, School of the Arts (SOTA) 555 Portola Drive: http://roots-to-fruits.com/events. Pam Peirce, Author of Golden Gate Gardening, is the keynote speaker at this event (http://www.pampeirce.com).
If you’ve never been to the SOTA Farm, you are in for a real treat. A hidden gem on the outskirts of our very own neighborhood. To read more about the Farm: http://www.eco-sf.org/program/school-farm

Our Kickoff Event Takes Place July 23, 2011
Roots to Fruits, a new event series, seeks to raise awareness on our local food system, by offering a unique opportunity to sample the tastiest summer fruits which can thrive in various San Francisco micro-climates. Attendees will have an opportunity to pre-purchase fruit trees at this fun-filled family event, and enjoy the demos, contests and talks offered throughout the day. The first of three events, on July 23, 2011, will center around a Fruit Tasting Orchard, where anyone may sample the carefully selected summer fruits that thrive in the legendary San Francisco “fog belts” and “sun belts.”
