Dear Friends and Neighbors,
The crops are flourishing with our late season rains and the warmer weather upon us. To our new members on the waiting list, thank you for being so patient and understanding we needed a little time to plant more crops and they’re doing well. We’re happy to be putting good growing land back into production and we expect our new harvests to begin soon.
Our primary goal remains providing members with food diversity, nutrition, variety and value.
We’re adding new items on the Green Store every week and if you have suggestions as to what you’d like offered, please feel free to let me know.
Farm Pick-up orders will be on the table next to the cooler. This minimizes touching other bags looking for yours. Please pick up between 1 and 6 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. If you don’t pick up your order, it means we have to go back at night to be sure they are put back into the cooler. Translation: more work and detail after a long day.
To maintain social distancing, only those with prior clearance may visit the farm. Thanks for understanding.
PLEASE DO NOT COME TO PICKUP BEFORE 1 P.M. You may come to pick up until 6 pm. Your flowers will be in buckets near your items for you to choose. We had a few left over from last weeks so there’s a few that missed your flowers. Any product not picked up on Wednesday without prior notification will be charged a $7.50 handling fee.
Also, please keep in mind substitutions may be necessary from the lists below. However at this point we should meet our targets.
Recent change to Green Store availability: Please note that online ordering will be available only from Friday at 8AM tpSunday 3 PM the week before any scheduled delivery or farm pick-up.
We have a new source of ethically produced organic eggs and honey available on the Green Store and many other kitchen items to skip going to the store.
If anyone one wants orders by the case, drop me a note. My email is info@seabreezed.com.
May your fresh flowers, fruits and veggies for the week bring you sustenance and satisfaction.
Wishing you health and safety,
Stephenie
A couple more things:
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.
