    OCTOBER 2018 NEWSLETTER Click on the links below to go directly to a topic. ▪ PRESIDIUM: A New, Heroic Title for Our Chapter’s Lively Potato Project ▪ Sonoma County North Events ▪ Spotlight on Sonoma County North Member/Producer: Gradek Family Farm ▪ Slow Books: "The Apprentice: My Life in the Kitchen" ▪ Snail of Approval ▪ Welcome New Members! PRESIDIUM: A New, Heroic Title for Our Chapter’s Lively Potato Project Presidium (plural presidia): A protective fortress. A garrison, as in the San Francisco Presidio. From the Latin presidiare, to guard. In the fall of 2017, Slow Food launched the sixth Presidium in the USA: the Bodega Red Potato. Before Slow Food Sonoma County North intervened in 2006, the Bodega Red was on the brink of extinction. Now there are 13 local farms growing the potato. In March 2018 we distributed 2000 pounds of virus- free Bodega Red seed potatoes to local growers. Beginning with the first harvest in June, the potatoes have been available at Farmers’ Markets in Healdsburg, Santa Rosa, Sonoma Valley, and Cloverdale. These restaurants and others have served Bodega Reds: Brass Rabbit, Diavola, SHED, and Trading Post. Grower Zureal Bernier says, “These potatoes have gathered a very strong following, and we have no trouble selling out at premium prices. The quality is always great!” Slow Food around the world champions endangered traditional foods through its Ark of Taste and Presidia. The Ark of Taste is a list of fruits, vegetables, animal breeds, cheeses, breads, sweets, and cured meats at imminent risk of extinction. A Presidium takes this one step further by focusing on a single Ark product and working with producers to bring it into high-quality local production.
