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.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
