VALLEY
NOTE FROM 2020
THE PRODUCER
It’s spring, and we’re in a pandemic. Life has changed, and we too
are being asked to change. I’m fortunate to live in a neighborhood
where people know each other. I was talking to a neighbor when I
was out for a walk today. His small business has temporarily shut
down so, amidst everything else, he is starting a victory garden.
While he digs in the soil, he says he’s also contemplating how we
will need to adapt going forward. What better place to contemplate
what’s important than from a grounded place with hands in the soil.
How will we adapt—how does this crisis force us to be creative.
What is something positive that can come out of this—resilience,
community connection? While we acknowledge the fears and stock
up on supplies, let’s feed the hope—our hope for future generations
and a livable planet. I believe local, sustainably grown food and
community are an essential part of resilience. So let’s grow and
support local together.
In the meantime, we’re all figuring it out. This means as hard as we
worked to update our lists, they are definitely subject to change this
year. Many of the restaurants, farmers markets, breweries, and
wineries listed are adapting or suspending activity temporarily.
We’ve provided the basics so you can check websites or social media
for updates.
While I wonder about the future, the CORV cover makes me think THE CORV CREW
