Farm Sanctuary Animal Acres

September 2, 2013 — Leave a comment

When you visit Farm Sanctuary’s Animal Acres shelter, you’ll know right away that it is a special place. Their sanctuaries are home to rescued cows, pigs, turkeys, and other farm animals — and each has a special story. Their stories of struggle and survival, against all odds, give the public insight into the realities farm animals face in the modern factory farming industry, but also introduce us to inspiring individuals through their heartwarming tales.

Animals who began their lives abused and neglected now spend their days digging in the dirt, basking in the sun, and napping in the straw. Each animal is given the freedom and attention needed not only to recover but to thrive.

The Sunset Strip Market

April 29, 2013 — Leave a comment

The Sunset Strip Market is a weekly certified farmers’ market committed to enhancing the community by providing fresh, California-grown produce and artisan goods. The goal of the Market is to create a space that encourages nearby residents, employees, farmers, and visitors to interact with each other. The Sunset Strip Market emerged from a shared vision between business owners and residents to create a community-based event that would engage residents as well as showcase The Sunset Strip.

The Sunset Strip Market is happy to provide guests with unique food experiences. From the carefully curated certified farmers’ market to cooking demos, chef specials, and wine tastings, the market will engage your senses. The market hosts a wine and beer garden/pairing area with rotating options. The garden focuses on sustainable, organic California wineries and local breweries. Guests ages 21 and older may enjoy the garden.

The Sunset Strip Market was developed by a committee of dedicated business owners and residents. Members of the committee include Nick Mathers (owner, the Eveleigh), David Vialli (general manager, The Standard, Hollywood), Bruce Silberman (owner, Allied Parking) and Nic Adler (owner, The Roxy Theatre). Diana Rodgers, a respected leader in community farmers’ markets, curated the certified farmers and vendors. Steve Portigiani created the site map and plan.

The community spirit of the market also extends to the entertainment stage, which showcases local artists and features live music performances each week.

The Sunset Strip Market is happy to provide an enhanced farm-to-table dining experience within the outdoor space. Throughout the year, the market partners with various California wineries and breweries to showcase their product, which will be paired with market fresh food offerings. Guests ages 21 and older may enjoy tastings or pair their drink with a full meal or other fare available at the market.

If you don’t want to carry your produce with you while you shop or enjoy dinner at one of The Sunset Strip’s many establishments, then let them hold them for you. The “Veggie Valet” station is located at the info booth, near the Market’s west entrance. Suggested donation is $1 per bag. Please note that all bags must be picked up by Market closing time: 10:00 p.m. While all bags will be stored in a safe area, they are not responsible for any loss. Refrigeration is not provided.
