These days it seems nearly everyone is starting to consider living more locally…including us here at the Lark Books office. We’re lucky enough to live in a region overflowing with organic bounty, so much so that we’ve started getting weekly produce and eggs delivered from local farmers. What a fun way for us to get more connected to the land on which we live!

We’re so energized about the local sustainability movement, in fact, that we’ve started development on a new series starting in early Spring 2010 that celebrates the “homemade life,” shedding light on ways in which any of us can start introducing the locavore movement into our daily lives. Keep your eyes opened for progress on this exciting new series!

Local Asheville blogger Frivolitea, editor of Simple Studio Journal interviewed our very own Senior Production Manager, Todd Kaderabek this Wednesday, June 18th.

“Frivolitea: I understand that Lark Books publishes materials on the topics of crafting, home decorating, cooking, and outdoor living. How did Lark Books, as a publisher, come to focus on these areas?

Todd: Altamont Press (once Lark’s parent company) began as a newsletter produced out of the back of Rob Pulleyn and Kate Matthews’ fiber studio/shop in New Mexico. That newsletter spawned Fiberarts Magazine and it was a natural progression from there to books that focused on not only fiber but the myriad of other craft mediums.“

According to TNNA knitting dates back to the fourth or fifth century B.C. In the past, knitting has been the occupation of shepherds watching their flocks, sailors whiling away the hours of long voyages, apprentices who studied it in early knitting guilds, and royal knitters in the court of England at the time of King Henry VIII.
