CSA and Juice Feast for June 30th
Cindy Dollar is cooking up some local granola right here in Goleta. The flavor of August is Raisin Pecan. Delicious, nutritious and oh so nutty – this granola is perfect addition to all our yummy fruit in the box this week. We purchased 15 more chicks from island seed and feed over the weekend. There …
CSA and Juice Feast for July 23rd
I’ve been traveling, and while I was away, 18 of our chickens and 1 momma turkey were killed. We think a family of raccoons broke into the coop, but it’s hard to tell at this point. Until I return home I won’t know for sure. We should be able to fulfill egg orders that are …

CSA and Juice Feast for June 18th
We had a great weekend here on the farm. We had the opportunity to throw a party for our farm workers. We buried a pig underground and feasted Saturday with all the guys. I also had to wake up and work one of the 8 farmers markets that went out on Sunday – along with …
