California Conversations: Farmers in the Bay February 1, 2013

Engage in the rich history of the Jewish people who came to the Bay Area to farm the land. From the Petaluma chicken farmers to modern organic dairies, Jews have been agricultural innovators in the Bay Area. In this lively conversation lead by Jweekly editor Sue Fishkoff, hear from representatives of three generations of farmers: Bohemian Creamery’s Lisa Gottreich, Straus Family Creamery’s Vivian Straus, and Scott Gerber—the Yiddish Cowboy.
Presented in conjunction with the exhibition California Dreaming: Jewish Life in the Bay Area from the Gold Rush to the Present.
