Harvest Season

Harvesting Footage:

We are getting close to finishing the first steps of the assembly edit, we have just about gone through all the interviews and pulled out the good bits and put them in their appropriate sections. We also went out on 10/10/10 to shoot some additional footage around San Francisco.  Kitchen Garden SF and 350.org had a work party at the Hayes Valley Farm, it was a beautiful day and a perfect day to get some footage of urban farms and the people who make them happen.  We also went by the garden for the Free Farm Stand at Eddy & Gough; they are growing food to give away, great project, great people and an amazing garden.

Harvesting Support:

We are preparing for our year-end fundraising drive; look for us on Kickstarter.com soon. Don’t forget that donations to “From the Ground Up” are tax deductible.

Harvest in the Garden:

It is harvest season and we had a good year here in San Francisco even if was a cold summer.  I have canned tomato sauce, made a couple of batches of Chicken Tomatillo Soup, Tomatillo Salsa, Tomato Curry Soup, Stuffed Zucchini, Pesto and most of that was just in the last 2 weeks.  I am starting to prepare cannellini beans for drying, for use in soups this winter.  Growing food is fun, cooking it rewarding, but eating it is the best.
