Berkeley
Also known as: Berkeley, CA, Berkeley, California
An East Bay city of ~120,000 anchored by UC Berkeley (founded 1868, the flagship of the University of California system). The post-1960s seedbed of the Free Speech Movement, the disability-rights movement, the U.S. organic-food movement (Chez Panisse 1971, the Edible Schoolyard 1995), and one of the densest concentrations of food cooperatives, lineage-authorized contemplative-practice institutions, and ecological-design organizations in the country.
What this is
Berkeley sits on the East Bay shore of [[san-francisco-bay-area|San Francisco Bay]], north of Oakland, anchored by the University of California (founded 1868). The post-1960s waves of student activism, organic-food entrepreneurship, contemplative practice, and ecological-design work have made [[san-francisco|the city]] one of the most consequential small cities in the U.S. for values-aligned commerce — Chez Panisse opened 1971, Berkeley Bowl 1977, the Edible Schoolyard 1995, and a continuous independent grocery + food-coop + farmers-market culture spanning sixty years.
