Week of May 27th – Our farm in a jar

We finally have come across the resources to can up the farm. We are talking marinara sauce, pickles and preserves to start with. We are going to start canning this week so keep an eye out for it in the store in the weeks to come. 100% organic goodness in a jar. Picked and canned at the peak of ripeness, with no shelf stabilizers or preservatives. All ingredients you can pronounce and happily feed to your family sold exclusively through our CSA program.
Cindy Dollar is cooking up some Raisin Pecan granola this week for you in her kitchen right here in Goleta. Support local business, munch some amazing granola and get your breakfast supplies right here in our CSA store.
