boonville, california

Boonville is a town in California's Anderson Valley in Mendocino county, about 150 miles north of San Francisco. Boonville, despite its population of 719, has gained national fame in the USA through its radical leftist political beliefs and counterculture ideals including promotion of organic food. The town serves as the setting for at least two well known novels, Thomas Pynchon's Vineland (1990) and Robert Mailer Anderson's Boonville (2001). The town is best known to Unificationists as the site of the successful but ill-fated Creative Community Project, lauded by church members for bringing in nearly one-third of the church's recruits in the US (and lambasted by detractors for the same). Boonville and the surrounding Anderson Valley region is also known for its brewery. According to the label on a bottle of Boont beer, "It's bahl hornin'" means "It's good drinkin'" in the Boontling folk constructed language.
