September 24, 2018 Where Did Nature Go?

A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success.
– Elbert Hubbard

Dear Friends,
       This delicate exquisite creature,  a preying mantis, was found last week in one of the growing beds.  We haven’t seen one like this for years and years.  A lot has changed since the Carmel Valley area has been developed, and continues to be , for the habitat of wildlife.  Where there are now houses, we used to see deer family along the ridge and everyday was the possibility of seeing lots of natures creatures.  Especially wonderful was when the cranes were to fly in and land, looking for treats as we weeded.  So was very happy to have this little guy on my hand, even if it was fleeting.  Wish the horned toads were to come back.  They were always so entertaining.
     Thank you all for your support.  As the last food producing farm in the entire area, we think our work is pretty darn important.  It’s my experience that people just aren’t cooking as much anymore and our subscription numbers are way down.  Like any business, we have huge costs.  The Hungry Heroes and Produce for Patriots program, donating produce to military families, is terrible important to our continuance.  If you can, please sign up so a family may receive.  It’s for the good all round.
 Here’s to good food, friends, families and helping others.
     Call or email me if you have questions or need cooking tips.
     May our food this week nourish, comfort and sustain you.
Stephenie
