Join us on November 2 for an afternoon under the Peppercorn trees with artist, activist, and urban farmer Leslie Labowitz Starus! Considered an expert in the field of sprouting and an authority on urban farming and farmers’ markets, the artist will lead children and their families through educational craft making and tasting of green superfoods!

For over 30 years, Labowitz Starus has created performances and installations as SPROUTIME. This social art project began as a garden-sized urban sprout farm in the late 1970s, but quickly developed into an organic farm and small business. She expanded her operations to a three-quarter acre agricultural site and food processing facility in the San Fernando Valley in LA County, growing, manufacturing and distributing organic products throughout Southern California.

There will be hummus and salad to make, taste, and share. Families are welcome to pack their own lunch for their little ones and encouraged to bring water and sunscreen as the event will be held outdoors.
