Fellow members of Slow Food South Bay chapter encouraged me to do a Slow Food LIVE demo. Also, friend, Peter Ruddock, of Green Omnivore and president of Slow Food California, just returned from his 5th year of picking peaches at Masamoto Family Farm. He was eager to share the peaches and the “Adopt-a-Tree” program with the Slow Food community. So– we did a LIVE demo, together.

 

Our peach demo was on July 30, 2020. You can watch the episode here:
