Human Nature is a portrait documentation of the resurgence of sustainable farmer's in the Pacific Northwest. The individuals that represent that movement are bright, passionate, inspiring and capture a connection to the earth. They are people who are part of a movement to farm responsibly despite obstacles to exist. The amount of work and dedication to be a true steward of the land is humbling to witness. Over the course of two decades Anna Mia Davidson was married to an organic farmer in the Snoqualmie River Valley. During those years she was inspired to photograph the community they were part of and the farmland where they raised their two children to love the earth. From those photographs came Human Nature, a published fine art photography book (Minor Matters Books).

Lauren Thompson joins Café Lago after ten years as Chef-de-Cuisine at Cafe Juanita. The arrival of chef Thompson will begin a fresh chapter for the beloved restaurant. When Café Lago owner Carla Leonardi met Thompson, she was struck by their shared respect for the simplicity of Italian cuisine and cravings for local produce, cheeses, and meats. Leonardi, notes, “This is a rebirth all around. Lauren is incredibly gifted and has put fresh eyes on all we do. Having her lead the Lago kitchen is a dream come true. She is bringing renewed energy into our world by respecting our Italian roots and keeping the dishes our customers love while simultaneously elevating Lago.”
