My dear Community, As we approach the fall season, we are savoring the last of our summer crops. I hope you’ve been enjoying all the colors that the season brings. I’m happy to have strawberries back in our boxes this week. The ones from our farm have set the bar for all berries. Have you ever thought about how food gets onto grocery store shelves? …

My dear community, We’re diving headfirst into melons this week. With an abundance on the farm comes an abundance in the box. Enjoy them along with our last days of summer. We’re also loading you up with my favorite tomato- mountain magic and some smaller cherry tomatoes. Make sure to sort through them, eat any split ones immediately and store …

My dear Community, Happy Labor Day. If the purpose of Labor Day is to honor workers and their contributions to society then it is definitely a day to celebrate our workers here on the farm. It feels like a lifetime ago, but I come from a more conventional 9-5 setting in an office. Although it …

My dear Community, I’m adding one of my favorite squashes into the box this week- orange kabocha. Since we are having a heat wave, you can tuck this one away until it cools down if you’d like. These squashes are so flavorful and full of natural sugars they don’t stay too long on the farm before we run out …

My dear Community, I hope you and yours stayed safe and went unscathed by Tropical Storm Hilary yesterday. Through the chaos of a storm that surely hit southern California pretty hard, we seemed to receive the beauty of it all. I saw some beautiful captures of the massive rainbow taken from Goleta yesterday and we shared the epic bright pink sunset in Buellton on our IG @somethinggoodorganics. Strawberries are …

My dear Community, We are still happily in the swing of things for summer. With all the heat we’ve been having comes fruit that ripens very quickly. Please keep this in mind as you receive fruit from us and make sure to enjoy it right away. We don’t pick things prematurely so they can sit on a store shelf and wait for you …

My dear Community, It’s that time of year when blackberries really start to shine so we’re loading our CSA boxes full. They’re so plump and sweet I can’t help topping yogurt or cantaloupe halves, toss them in smoothies or just pop them into my mouth. I made a fantastic blackberry frozen yogurt, which was a little more work, but a summer …

My dear Community, My dear Community, Enjoying the ground beef from Rancho San Julian? Well we’re excited to announce we’ve just added their sausage as well! Check out our CSA store for limited availability. All of our meat boxes from Native Pastures are on hold for about 4 more weeks as they await the processing of their cows. We appreciate you …

My dear Community, How’s summer rolling along for you? Have you been making anything especially delicious you’d like to share? Send us a picture and we’ll post it on our blog. I’ve been making a lot of gazpacho, pesto with different herbs (not just basil!), zucchini in various forms: cold salads, zoodles and bread. Last week I …
Week of July 19th
My dear Community, As I’ve mentioned, the winter rains really did a number on our fruit orchards this year. While there is still some fruit ripening, it’s a significant drop in what we were expecting. The rains were much needed, but that’s where we are with the peaches and plums this year. I’m hoping to get some into our fruit expansions …
