Happy Summer to you. Well, almost. Things are heating up here on the Buellton farm. Tomatoes are right around the corner (yah!). I’m watching the peppers get planted and looking forward to melons next month too. Raspberries and blackberries are starting to make an appearance. It’s all really exciting :D.
Want a free box of veggies? Create something delicious and tag us @somethinggoodorganics on Instagram. Every month we will pick a new winner to receive a complimentary share for themselves or a friend. If you choose to give it away we will deliver it to the lucky recipients house. We believe that there is no better advertising than word of mouth.
The pickling cucumbers you receive in your box this week are just a different variety of cucumber. We didn’t actually make pickles and put them in your box (maybe a future endeavor). They are a little thicker skinned, super crunch and undeniably delicious.
