For those interested in learning how to eat locally, seasonally, and sustainably, an event taking place in Downtown next month could be a delicious solution. Artisanal LA is a weekend-long event aimed at providing attendee with an opportunity to shop from a variety of local vendors and crafters and learn from professionals who are focused on eating and living sustainably.
Over 75 local vendors will be on hand and guests can shop from their assorted wares, and also check out some of the additional panels, demos, and workshops that will help you grow, cook, shop, and eat locally.
Although the schedule is still being finalized, we can share a taste of what this delicious event has in store. According to organizer Shawna Dawson, among the planned participants already lined up are: Petrossian talking about sustainable caviar and doing a tasting [LAist Story]; Silver Lake Farms CSA talking microgreens [LAist Story]; Jonathan Rollo of Greenleaf Gourmet Chopshop doing his signature Green Leaf salad and talking about the importance of local, sustainable greens [LAist Story]; Geri Miller from Mar'Sel doing kitchen garden cocktails and tasting; Woolly Pockets doing a workshop in creating a one container kitchen herb garden; the Lindy & Grundy girls doing a butchering demo; and James Overbaugh from the Peninsula Hotel doing a demo on cooking with local, seasonal products, with more to come.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
