My grandmother had a courtyard of animals, like goats and chickens. She made ricotta cheese, cooked with potatoes warm from the garden, grew everything from beans to wheat. It was simple, seasonal food, and we all ate what was produced 10 miles from where we lived. It was that way for centuries.

Dear Friends,
Have you heard about or seen the new film ‘The Biggest Little Farm’? I’ve seen the trailer and it’s an inspirational accounting of the struggles and blessings of this young couple determined to carve out a new life with agriculture. They’ll have many more to come, I’m sure. After seeing it, think I’ll dub Seabreeze ‘The Littlest Big Farm’ as we experience the same adventures and continue to be astonished by the bounty possible with human effort and determination! I think there’s a yearning from busy busy people in this ‘modern’ world that wants to know that somewhere, somehow, there are people that know how to do things and live in harmony with the land. If any of you shareholders haven’t been to Seabreeze and would like to, give me a call or email and we’ll set a time for you to see what we do and why it’s so important. We grow for you.
For our ‘Choose Your Own’ customers, many of you travel quite a bit and can’t set up a regular delivery schedule or even have the time to go through the selections. But it doesn’t take long just to click on even a Petite size when you can to get our fresh lettuce, salad, sprouts, veggies and of course our flowers. Bees need to know they can depend on us!
Be well, be happy and enjoy your meals.
