In the description of the Bioneers he is: "Iconoclast, piano player, great cook, and an incredible farmer". Bob Cannard is a frequent guest at their annual conferences. His produce and fruit are so exquisite that they are used in the most expensive restaurants, including Chez Panisse in Berkeley. His farm store is open year round and sells vegetables and home-canned goods at affordable prices.
As the cities are taking over the land Cannard is taking back what he can. He is acknowledged by Michael Pollan as one of the important members of the sustainable food movement, creating solutions to the growing crisis of the loss of farmland - caused by urbanization and the techniques of industrial agriculture.
Cannard runs Green String Farm and Institute in Petaluma, CA. Recorded Sept. 15, 2011 in Santa Rosa.
