| A MESSAGE FROM CUESA
Gather, Nourish, Engage
| Yesterday, despite many of us waking up to what feels like a new and uncertain world, the farmers market provided some sense of routine and normalcy: farmers and food vendors set up their stands as they do every week, and shoppers gathered to see their friends, buy beautiful fall produce, and meet for lunch.
Like you, we are deeply concerned about the future and what the recent election results will mean in terms of civil rights, climate change, health care, food access, corporate influence over our food, and other pressing issues of our day. We are worried about the fate of America's immigrants, who are a vital part of our communities and the lifeblood of our food system.
But in a time of many unknowns, you give us real hope. The grassroots food movement is growing, and the farmers market continues to be fertile ground for positive change. Sustainable agriculture holds incredible promise for the health of our communities, our children, our economy, and our planet. |

| | | EVENING TALK
Politics and the Dinner Table
| Wednesday, November 30 | Heal your election grief with an intelligent and proactive discussion about the state of our food. It's now more important than ever to stand together to build a healthy and just food system. Join a straight-talking panel of experts for a thoughtful discussion of the big political issues that will affect food and agriculture in the years ahead, and what we can do to continue to build momentum toward meaningful change.

| | SEASONAL RECIPE
Carrot Top Pesto
| This zero-waste pesto from Gloria Polo of the East Bay Community Recovery Project is a creative way to use every part of the vegetable. Serve with grated carrots or pasta. The tender tops are fresh and clean-tasting, and mimic the flavor of the carrot itself.
