Omer and Tal Seltzer and their families took a fascinating and circuitous route to and from the mountains of Judea to fine, artisan cheese making in Bodega, on the Sonoma County Coast. Join host Clark Wolf as we explores the multinational and cultural pathways that in some amazing ways mirrored the food and farm of of our own local community. As Laura Chenel was gathering goats and making California Chèvre, Omer’s mother was bringing Nubians from Virginia to Israel. And now they’re here, employing thoughtful, sustainable methods and using some of our most treasured milks: Redwood Hill goat’s milk and Jersey milk from Straus. Listen to this hopeful and appetizing conversation.
Who better to speak with about all things small and family farming than Evan Wiig, Director of Membership and Communications for CAFF? That stands for Community Alliance with Family Farmers. Join host Clark Wolf as they dig into the history of the organization and the movement, what’s been happening and what might be next. This California organization is benchmark and model for other groups across the country and around the world. It’s about our food!

Author Diana R. Chambers may have never meet famed TV chef Julia Child but that hasn’t stopped the Sebastopol writer from crafting an engaging, intriguing tale. Based on Child’s acknowledged role in America’s precursor to the CIA, Chambers builds a thrilling story of what might actually have been. The best selling tome is large on imagination and a perfect read for a wet and windy Winter’s Day. Join host Clark Wolf - who actually knew Julia and visited her in the South of France where some of the story takes place - as he and Chambers revel in the memory of an American and international icon.
