<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">By Contributing Editor, Stephanie Georgieff</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A
few weeks before the election, in September of 2012, barely a third of
California voters approved of the job the State Legislature was “doing.” The
last major poll conducted in the state has pushed the rating up to a favorable
36%, a level unthinkable several years ago. In some small measure, it may be due
because the Assembly and Senate are starting to introduce bills that many
Californians actually care about, which will also allow greater freedom to
create sustainable small businesses. With California’s global leadership in the
food and agriculture sectors, it makes sense to pass laws encouraging entrepreneurship
for which the Sunshine state is famous. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Passage
of the California Cottage Food Law last year, finally decriminalized bake sales
and home made bread purveyors. This law allows the creation of non-perishable foodstuffs
such as popcorn, jams and cookies to be made in a person’s home kitchen. Such
goods can be sold directly to the public now, and a permit process and limit to
the number of employees and profits are in place. In our economically strapped
times, allowing a family member to make an extra few bucks selling a family
biscotti recipe to neighbors without fear of jail time seemed to many a good
idea. It would reduce prison crowding and also increase tax revenues at the
same time.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

Assembly, introduced by Democratic Assembly member Phil Ting of the 19<sup>th</sup>
District in Western San Francisco has the dubious title of “Urban Agriculture
Incentive Zones Act,” AKA as AB 551. It seemed only proper if the state was
going to decriminalize goods from home kitchens, that house gardens should not
only be given the same freedoms but also incentives. With populations booming
around the world, development of agricultural land, the issue of feeding people
in the future is on the mind of planners and legislators alike. Urban farming
is becoming more and more of a need, but in the expensive real estate of
California’s major urban centers, it can be out of the question. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The
major thrust of AB 551 is to encourage landowners who sign a contract with
their county to put their property to urban agricultural use for 10 years.
After this contract is signed, their property will be assessed at a lower tax
rate based on agricultural use rather than its market value. In places like Los
Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco where the median house price can range
between $500,000 to a million dollars, allowing a small urban farm in the front
or back yard is a triple win. Land owners can lease their property to farmers
or farm themselves, providing truly local produce to hungry cities, and cut
down on food miles that rural farms must log to bring product to market. Such
farms can also improve the air quality of cities, and in some instances such as
roof top gardens, actually cut energy costs. Agricultural incentive zones can
also create good, sustainably minded jobs surrounding food. With increased
demand for farmers markets, one of the main complaints of market managers is
getting farmers to come. With the development of back yard or abandoned
property as farms, demand can be met while giving meaningful work to many who
are struggling to find jobs. Before World War II, Los Angeles County used to be
the most productive agricultural<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>county in the nation boasting 40,000 small family farms. AB 551 may be
the solution to improving access to fresh locally grown produce in “food
deserts” converting depressed areas back into lush farmland, one yard at a
time.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As
of this writing, AB 551 made it out of committee, and is expected to pass on to
the Assembly and go on to the Senate. It is exciting to see the Sunshine State
take the lead on incentivizing the consumption of real, nutritious food. It is
our hope, that this will be a model for other states with large urban
populations. If you live in California, please contact your local
representative and encourage them to vote yes for AB 551 </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Every year worldwide, 500 billion to 1 trillion plastic bags are used. That is one million every minute of everyday. And that does not included plastic bottles, packaging and the hundred and hundreds of other things we use made from plastic. How are we as a world at recycling them? Well to be honest, not very good at all. So they end up in landfills or the ocean.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once in the ocean do they disappear? Slowly overtime, they are broken down into small, then tiny bits, but it takes hundreds and hundred of years for them to decompose.Their effect on sea life can be devastating.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So should they be considered "hazardous'? Check out the link to National Geographic's Ocean Views to get their take. </span><br />

<div style="background-color: white; font-weight: bold; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="headline" style="color: #559f56;">The Monday Campaigns </span>is a national movement backed by leading public health schools that dedicates the first day of every week to health. Every Monday, individuals and organizations join together to commit to healthy behaviors that help end chronic preventable diseases.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-weight: bold; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="headline" style="color: #559f56;">Why Monday?</span> It’s the January of the week, the perfect time for a fresh start. People are more likely to begin exercising, start a diet or quit smoking on Monday than any other day. It’s a call to action built into every calendar – 52 chances a year to live a longer, healthier life!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Going meatless once a week may reduce your risk of chronic preventable conditions like cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity. It can also help reduce your carbon footprint and save precious resources like fresh water and fossil fuel.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; letter-spacing: 0.02em; margin-bottom: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Read about these benefits below. But keep in mind that just going meatless is not enough. That’s why we give you the information you need to add healthy, environmentally friendly meat-free alternatives to your diet each week. Further, if you do eat meat on other days, we strongly recommend grass-fed, hormone-free, locally-raised options whenever possible.</span></div>

"Ampelos" (a Greek name meaning "vine") truly represents the focus of Peter and Rebecca Work which is a shared belief, that all great wines are made in the vineyard. Good grapes produce great wine. As winemakers and farmers, they believe that taking care of and respecting the environment is essential in producing excellent wines.</div>

The estate vineyard has been planted with those varietals that showcase the location, soils and climate at the site. They are thrilled that those best suited to the Ampelos vineyard are those grapes which are their favorites! The varietals they have planted are Pinot Noir, Syrah, Grenache and a little bit of Viognier, based on extensive clone diversity to provide their "spice cabinet".</div>

<span>Sustainable farming is far more encompassing, and more difficult to define, than either organic or biodynamic practices. Sustainability looks to protect both natural and human resources, and oftentimes a sustainable farm will also be organically or bio-dynamically farmed. In addition to farming, sustainability includes practices to enhance environmental quality and the natural resource base upon which the agricultural economy depends, make the most efficient use of non-renewable resources and on-farm resources, sustain the economic viability of farm operations and enhance the quality of life for farmers, their community and society as a whole.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In the spirit of love and Valentine's Day, this recipe is not
only a great idea for a romantic dinner for two, but it's super heart healthy as
well.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I’m super excited to share this recipe with all of you,
because it includes one of my favorite fishes, Turbot. Most people don’t even
know about this delicious flat fish. It's firm, yet delicate, with an extremely
buttery taste. I would compare it to Sea bass in texture and taste, but it's
less than ½ the price per pound. That makes this recipe not only good for your
heart, but good for your wallet too. There are a lot of steps to this dinner,
but they are easy steps, and so worth the outcome. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now add your chopped shallots to a hot pan and sauté with a
tablespoon of olive oil until they start to soften, add your chopped mushrooms,
(more oil if needed) garlic, dried oregano, and sauté for another 3 minutes.
Add a pinch of salt and cook for another minute. Once all of your veggies look
soft remove from the heat. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If the quinoa has absorbed all of the liquid in its pot,
remove it from the heat, and mix in the mushrooms and shallot mixture. Lightly
stir all together. If you’d like to keep the quinoa warm while the fish bakes,
put all of it back into your pan, turn heat to lowest setting, cover with a lid
and let sit until dinner is ready. You may want to add a bit more broth at the
end of this step if it gets dry. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Fish: Pre-heat your oven to 375F.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Put all of your basil, spinach, chopped garlic, lemon juice
and a 1/3 cup of olive oil in to a food processor and blend together. Add salt
and pepper to taste. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In a small bowl toss your tomatoes with olive oil and salt. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large sauce pan. Add
your chopped and cleaned leeks, and a pinch of salt.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sweat over med high heat for about 8 minutes or until the
leeks have softened and turned opaque in color.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Once the leeks become soft cover the bottom of your baking
dish with them, this will create a soft bed for the fish to bake in. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Next place your Turbot fillets in the baking dish. Top the
turbot with a heaping pile of pesto, and arrange your small tomatoes around the
fish. Bake at 375 for 20 minutes. The fish will be flaky in texture when it’s
done. After 20 minutes, remove the fish from the oven and cover it with tin
foil. Set it aside and turn your oven up to broil. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In a mixing bowl, toss 3 tablespoons of olive oil, paprika,
lemon zest, parmesan and a pinch of salt and pepper. Take the romanesco florets
off of its core by cutting around the stem in a circular motion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once they are all free toss them in the
olive oil, parmesan mix and lay them on your tin foil lined baking sheet. Place
them in to the broiler for 6-8 minutes. Keep an eye on the florets, making sure
they don’t burn while they broil. They should get soft and somewhat browned on
all of their edges. The toasted parmesan should give them a bit of a crunch. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now all you have to do is serve and enjoy the fruits or in
this case fish of your labor. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
