With our free press under threat and federal funding for public media gone, your support matters more than ever. Help keep the LAist newsroom strong, become a monthly member or increase your support today.


You don't have to be one of the recent grads from the Master Food Preserver program to put up some fabulous pickles. Nor do you have to craft your own ice cream churning tricycle . This summer, Mother Moo will be teaching home preservation and canning classes for the masses, the first of which is dedicated to two of our favorite comestibles: pickles and ice cream. (Maybe we should look into an EPT.)During this 120-minute workshop, participants will learn how to make ice cream a la Mother Moo and how to pickle summer produce. There will also be a sensory perception discussion as to how and why the human body has certain cravings -- aside from your recent trip to the cannabis club, that is.

The first course will take place on June 16 from 9 a.m.-noon, and there will be a few other options to join later in the summer. Class cost is $110 per couple or $65 per person. Reservations can be made to karen@mothermoo.com.

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.
Senior Vice President News, Editor in Chief
