Poetry, Pizza, and Permaculture!!

It was a pizza party!

This past weekend was Bioneers (http://www.bioneers.org/about), a convergence that happens every year here in Marin county at the civic center. its chock filled with all sorts of special guest speakers, booths, a show case examples of sustainable and innovative technology and principles based around permaculture and sustainable living, teaching, and greatest change for the people!

 So after a little rain the night before, the weather turned out wonderful on Monday for a special Commonweal Gardens Bioneers after party hosted by the wonderful Penny Livingston, Michael Presley, and friends. Michael brought all sorts of delicious local delights for pizza toppings, as well as his very special 7 year old sour dough starter, and a pizza dough starter he made from fruit yeast he converts to wheat over a 6 day period! how cool is that! we hosted almost 40 teachers, speakers and wonderful guest of the Bioneers festival, including Penny's Hawaiian brother Kalani, and a very special guest, Joanne Cambell, a coast Miwok tribal  elder. such an honor! i manned and stoked the the pizza oven early in the morning, and tended the pizza cooking while Michael prepared and topped amazing pizzas with lamb, sausges, heirloom tomatoes, amazing cheeses made by a local cheese maker, and a plethora of other local ingredients.

 The Poetry came from some wonderful artists and poets, including Drew Dellinger (Drew Dellinger) who had some great words (obviously). right after everyone left and we cleaned up, the clouds gathered and rain came again, thanks universe! enjoy the photos below!
