THE SALON IS TWO WEEKS AWAY! And you should know what you’re in for if you’re joining us. Siri and Jason (@localrootsfarm) first had the chance to work with Chefs Emily and Russ way back in their early days as farmers, in 2008 and 2009, and they often talk about those ragers on the farm - they sound really fun, and really delicious. Siri writes, “We were all relatively new to farming and cooking, and were full of energy and excitement about authentic farm-to-table food. We were growing a wild assortment of crops, and found immediate connection with a handful of Seattle chefs and restaurant owners.  Truly, radicchio would not be where it is today without the support that we found from Emily @thecorsonbuilding and Renee & Russ at Boat Street Cafe (I miss it so!).  They loved and encouraged us and bought our early and imperfect attempts at growing real Italian radicchio. Both Emily and Russ cooked a number of dinners at our farm, working with just an open fire and a two-burner stove to create some of the most memorable food I’ve ever eaten. We are beyond excited to be working with them again, here in our twentieth year as vegetable farmers, celebrating the obscure vegetable we’ve all had a hand in elevating.” Joining Emily & Russ this year for the Salon feast are Ashley & Stephanie of @thetiderun !! The Tiderun organizes outdoor food experiences that you should DEFINITELY look into if you yearn for a rustic farm dinner (of the olden days, or of your dreams).  Get your tickets before the radicchio CSA folks buy them all! The menu is sounding like a dream, and that’s only half of the evening!! WE ARE SO EXCITED AND FEEL SO LUCKY TO EXIST IN THIS TIMELINE! See you there, bitter friends. by @localrootsfarm

MUSE, TELL ME OF THE PLANT OF MANY WILES… A plant that inspires many, and can inspire many more. An emblem for survival in hard times. A symbol for learning that not only can we tame bitterness and manipulate it for our own enjoyment, but we can learn to embrace the flavor, and savor the undiluted difficulty as something nourishing for a particular part of the soul. We’re peeling back the outer leaves, brushing away the slime, and announcing: THE SALON DEL RADICCHIO Monday, October 19 5:30 - 8:30pm RailSpur, Seattle Join us at the Salon del Radicchio for a fabulously bitter evening.

And the team at @railspur.seattle and @rallygroup_ is making the planning look and feel great 🫶 The boughs of this October are positively dripping with ripening radicchio greatness.

. Chef and farmer Meredith Molli of @lamedusarestaurant is throwing us a book release party! 💜🥬 Join us at her adorable aperitivo bar Persephone (adjacent to La Medusa) on October 1st to celebrate the release of “Radicchio: A Celebration of the Beloved Italian Vegetable” with me (Lane), Margarett Waterbury, and Shawn Linehan. Just because we all three live in Portland doesn’t mean we don’t love and recognize that Seattle and the greater Pacific Northwest is what @farmersiri calls “the Veneto of North America”! The Seattle farm and food community has been a leader in creating the radicchio movement. (Note the photo from the 2019 Sagra del Radicchio 💜) There could not be a more perfect person to host our Seattle book release celebration than Meredith, who has grown and prepared radicchio on her farm and in her restaurant for years. She also has two recipes featured in the book - swipe to see her involtini and pasta dishes. This will be a full-on soirée: part book signing and part radicchio-fueled celebration with fellow radicchio lovers. Your $28 ticket (link in profile) includes: – Radicchio featured dishes from the La Medusa kitchen – One welcome drink (NA available) Copies of Radicchio will be available for purchase to have signed at the party. 📍 Persephone. 4857 Rainier Ave S. Seattle, WA 📅 October 1st ⏰ Two options: 4:30-6:30pm or 6:30-8:30pm 🎟️ at link in profile Come celebrate the book and the world’s most beautiful leafy vegetable. Radicchio Forever! 💜 taken in La Medusa by @localrootsfarm

After the 2010 growing season we found ourselves landless farmers with a newborn. We lost the lease on our original location, and spent a couple very stressful months trying to figure out what to do next. A serendipitous conversation at a @snovalleytilth potluck led us to our new home: 40 acres of rich floodplain soil with a derelict 100-year-old house. We started over from scratch in February 2011, plowing ground and building greenhouses, all with a goal of starting our CSA and market season in June as usual. Looking back on it now, I am in awe of the energy and sheer audacity we had then. We also had a tremendous crew, who went along for the ride during this completely bonkers transition. Special appreciation for Brady, now of @sanjuanislandseasalt, who was instrumental in getting our infrastructure up and running that year. Jeez - I’m exhausted just thinking about it! by @localrootsfarm
