A star of the film “Sideways,” the iconic @hitchingpost2 is a near halfway point between Buellton and Solvang.

Celebrating its fortieth anniversary, the beloved steakhouse is known for its variety of Santa Maria style barbecued meats.

“My favorite is the ribs,” says Angel Carmona, the restaurant’s general manager. “They go over an open fire to bring out full flavor. We’re purists. We don’t put sauce on the meats, that comes on the side. We want you to taste the full flavor the meat.”

For those looking to keep dinner close to home, guests at The Sideways Inn needn’t look further than The Sideways Lounge.

while bartenders concoct delicious cocktails with unusual ingredients like rhubarb and peach bitters, passionfruit and lychee puree.

There on the same property, Food & Beverage Corporate Director Karoline Schwartz serves sausages and hand-cut Belgian fries from a charming airstream.

    Our Global Family Farm at City Farm SLO is a commu Our Global Family Farm at City Farm SLO is a community hub for volunteers, students and organizers. 

At the heart of the farm is permaculture, a philosophy Tree sees as far bigger than agriculture. “We want to get across that permaculture is a whole way of organizing society that is ethics based,” she says. “It’s not just gardening. It’s how you grow your food, collect and store water, gather and store energy, and treat your community.”

For Tree, permaculture is also about connection. “It’s literally the blending of permanent and culture,” she explains. “It’s about building community in your town and neighborhood — looking out for one another and sharing what you can.”

Farming in the city comes with challenges. The farm sits alongside the noisy freeway and commercial development and, like many urban spaces, it occasionally experiences theft and nearby encampments. But Tree says the greatest challenge is visibility: simply letting people know the farm exists.
