Fund Drive Special: Blake Spalding speaks about pandemic impacts from one of the reddest patches of red state America; plus ‘A People’s Guide to the San Francisco Bay Area’
0:08 – Fund Drive Special: This Immeasurable Place
Blake Spalding is the co-founder of Hell’s Backbone Grille, a Buddhist-principled farm-to-table restaurant in the middle of one of the reddest patches of red state America; in Boulder, Utah. That also puts it at the entrance to the Bear’s Ears / Grand Staircase – Escalante National Monuments. She’s spent the past four years fighting the Trump administration’s rollback of protections for a lot of that land. Since the last time we spoke, we’ve had a change of president, and a pandemic that shut down the restaurant industry. For a contribution of $300 dollars during our Spring Fund Drive, listeners can receive Spalding’s book, co-authored with Jennifer Castle, This Immeasurable Place: Food and Farming from the Edge of Wilderness.
