Everything else about my gardens was good and sometimes even thrilling, but this was what gardening was: The soft sound of the shovel thrusting into and dislodging the earth. Feeling the warmth of the sun on my shoulders. The earth against my knees. Saving the undisturbed hours of solitary work. – Richard Goodman |

Dear Friends,
At least this record breaking (again) heat is later in the year then the last two years. The farm animals do just fine as there’s always water and shade available for them but the crops are all confused. Our newly planted summer foods like tomatoes, squashes, beans, eggplant and more are liking it but the lettuces and radishes don’t and all want to mature and go to seed all at once. There’s one thing that doesn’t change for running a farm..every single day is different with new challenges!
Mother’s Day is coming soon. Almost all the flowers in the flower shops are imported from South America. Please keep us in mind for generous, beautiful and local bouquets for your loved ones.
All on-line orders and referrals for new stakeholders welcomed and appreciated.
We’re always grateful for our loyal supporters. This last food producing farm in Carmel Valley is important for a lot of reasons and donations always welcomed!
Hope you’re enjoying and benefiting from your deliveries. A lot of old fashioned hard work and planning makes it possible. And grown with love and care..of course.
Call or email me if you need cooking tips. Happy to oblige.
