Week of February 10th

My dear community,

It’s that time of year when it feels like there’s not a whole lot going on at the farm. It’s the calm before spring planting. I spoke with John Givens this morning as he was planting zucchini up at our El Capitan Ranch. Those are very happy vegetables with sprawling ocean views. Spring is still a ways out, but it will be here before we know it with all the abundance that comes with it. The chickens are starting to lay more eggs with these warmer, longer days and we’ve started to add eggs to people on our waitlist.
A quick reminder to check out all our locally made goods in our CSA Store. Spicy jam, honey, bone broth and hummus along with fresh baked bread, extra veggies and fruit. Is there something you don’t see in the store? Make sure to inquire. You can also add a one time extra box if you want to gift it to a friend for Valentine’s Day. Just let us know! Hope you all have a great week.

Be good to each other.
