Our Farm: People, plants and animals
|
Dear Friends,
Whew! What a week it was re-arranging harvest and delivery days for Thanksgiving. I remember one of my grandmother’s saying..’it doesn’t get easier as you get older’. Dang, you’d think that’d be one of the side benefits, like a trade off but sadly, not the case.
And ‘holidays’ bring the onslaught of phone calls and emails about food and I take the time to answer everybody. It’s like an awakening that Thanksgiving is about food and all of a sudden people make the link..ah, food..farm. They want to bring their children to ‘see’ (they’re not shareholders), buy fresh killed turkeys, apple pies made here, but this year, stunningly, half a dozen calls from a certain part of the world (accents) that want duck to eat. I mean honestly, how can you eat something that has a name?
The best one though, was a young man calling from LA in an absolute tizzy because his tech company had contracted with a foreign-based business to do an ad that included a photo shoot on a farm harvesting cranberries! I patiently explained to him we don’t grow cranberries (no bogs in Southern California) and poor thing kept insisting we had to do it for them before Thursday! I referred him, like I usually do, to the SD County Farm Bureau for them to deal with it.
Anyone want to help with transplanting some clivia and Easter lily bulbs (enough to share) this coming Saturday? There’s 3 of us women so far and it’s fun to have a project to do together.
Anyway, we’re busy with fall plantings and cleaning up from the summer and loving the cooler weather after our last heat spell.
Please feel free to call or email me if you have questions or need cooking tips.
May our food this week nourish, comfort and sustain you.
