We planted seeds, tapped our feet, sculpted clay and stomped in mud.
Sipped on drink, sampled squash, printed posters and took photo op’s.
Neighbors and friends came together in celebration of Petaluma’s
artists and farmers and the life they lead.
Thanks to all who set-up, showed up and kicked their feet up –
making the first annual Artists & Farmers event one to remember.
But most importantly, thanks to all our Artists & Farmers,
it just wouldn’t be the same without you HERE.

Pitchforks, tractors and hay bales.
Paintbrushes, video cam’s and laptops.
From dirt to digital art, Petaluma lies precisely
at the intersection of agriculture & creativity.
ProjectHERE wishes to celebrate Petaluma’s
Artists & Farmers recognizing them as cornerstones
to what it means to live HERE.

We went with friends and family out to the Green String Farm last week with a picnic in hand.
If you haven’t been out there yet, go today, it’s magical.

We need to rethink how we move around in Petaluma.
Our geography is perfectly suited for bicycle transportation. What if we move beyond recreational and sport cycling and start using bicycles for food delivery, grocery shopping, trips to the hardware store and more. Our friends at Madsen have the right idea, now we just need to start pedaling in that direction.

Well the Made Here Found Here event spawned the need for an online version of all the fantastic things we found in Petaluma.
The BETA site is now up and we are actively searching for suggestions about businesses we’ve missed.
Please forward any ideas our way.

Not only is Petaluma a great place to live, it is a great place to shop.
We found some incredibly creative, whimsical, unique and useful items—
many of which are made right here in our own backyard.

Making it work locally is what projectHERE is all about.
On the topic of tasty-cheap-eats, it makes sense to seek council from the “masters” themselves.
So, we posed this question to local chefs and culinary foodies:
What meal would you prepare for about $2 per person?
Over the coming weeks we’ll share their answers and welcome your recipes as well.

ProjectHERE in San Anselmo held its first event Friday at Marin Coffee Roasters.
On display were 39 Mason Jars, each filled by local businesses to represent their
contribution to the community. An eclectic group of people turned out to view
and celebrate the varied ingredients that form our town’s rich cultural tapestry.

We are looking for the people that best represent the spirit of Petaluma.
As you read this you’ve probably thought of 2 or 3 right off the bat, those are the people we would like to talk to.
projectHERE will be displaying 30-50 portraits and stories of local personalities and their stories of why they live HERE, work HERE, grow HERE and love HERE.
Please forward any thoughts or reccomendations to tyler@projecthere.org.
