Read excerpt
The Goleta Lemon Festival returns to Girsh Park September 26 and 27, bringing two days of live music, carnival rides, food, classic cars, and the annual spectacle of people racing to eat pie as quickly as possible.

A $25 Adult Happy Meal? Bistro Amasa’s Après Hour Makes a Case for Late-Night Dining (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“This is a pretty late dinner reservation,” my fiancé remarked on our way to Bistro Amasa on a recent Saturday evening. He was right. It was later than we’d usually go out to dinner, certainly later than most Santa Barbarians, who, by the time of our 8 p.m. reservation, were likely already tucked into bed with a good book.

When I walked into my house on a recent afternoon, I was immediately hit with the unmistakable scent of orange blossoms and transported back in time to a childhood memory of my sister and me running through the orange groves on the ranch where we grew up. An hour earlier, I had burned a candle from small-batch candle company LÜM, sent to me by founder Kianna Adler. The scent I burned was the Ojai candle, inspired by the town. With top notes of mandarin leaf and floral gardens; middle notes of he
Goodland Gardens Is Rethinking the Backyard (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Peter Berkey moved to Florida’s panhandle in 2008, he was struck by what he saw as a “food desert.” The main grocery option near his home on Pensacola Beach was a Publix, and he felt there was a real lack of fresh, high-quality produce. The beach environment, he quickly discovered, wasn’t exactly fertile. The soil was essentially sand. Berkey began driving around neighborhoods, collecting bags of yard waste left on the curb and composting them himself to create a growing medium. Out of that
