No occupation is so delightful to me as the culture of the earth, and no culture comparable to that of the garden.

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

Gardens and family farms feed local people. We welcome our new shareholders and the challenges to keep the farm healthy and productive and to minimize the exposure your orders will have to handling. We’re a lean and mean team and are being careful and keeping exposure to the minimum.

To those that wish to customize their orders or to add items, the Green Store on our website will be ‘open Thursday evening until Sunday evening. Early ordering is encouraged as some items may be limited.

Farm Pick-up orders for this week: they will be on the table next to the cooler. This minimizes touching other bags looking for yours. Please pick up between 1 and 7 pm on Wednesday and if you can’t make it until Thursday, that’s ok, just please drop me a note so we’ll know you’re coming. We’re keeping visitors to the Farm to a ‘cleared’ to come basis only for protection as I am sure you would want.

Also, please keep in mind substitutions may be necessary from the lists below however at this point we should meet our targets.

We have a new source of ethically’produced organic eggs, available on the Green Store or as a regular item to be added.

Received a small shipment of wonderful local honey Sunday. Not on the Green Store yet, the different sizes will be on it for the week after, but drop me a note if you want some this week.

If anyone one wants orders by the case, drop me a note.

May your fresh flowers, fruits and veggies for the week bring you sustenance and satisfaction.

If you would like to help support the Farm and our work, please consider signing up for our Hungry Heroes program that donates to appreciative San Diego military families or through Produce for Patriots, the non-profit founded by one of our shareholders, Rob M. You’ll receive a personal Thank You note from the family that receives. It’s a good thing all ’round.

Here’s to good food, friends, families and helping others. Call or email me if you have any questions or need cooking tips. May our food this week nourish, comfort and sustain you.

USDA: Community Supported Agriculture consists of a community of individuals who pledge support to a farm operation so that the farmland becomes, either legally or spiritually, the community’s farm, with the growers and consumers providing mutual support and sharing the risks and benefits of food production.

Wishing you health and safety.
