There is enough for all. The earth is a generous mother; she will provide in plentiful abundance food for all her children if they will but cultivate her soil in justice and in peace.

Dear Friends,
How we welcome these overcast days as summer looms. The crops of course, if planted at the right time, given sufficient nutrients and water, relish in the heat. Not so much for us laborers. Hats and gloves of course are requisites to getting through hours of hand picking green beans or squash in the hot sun that seem to replace themselves as soon as plucked. But that’s our job..bringing to you the best we can – the bounty of replenished soil and people that receive satisfaction from cultivating the earth without harm and knowing we’re giving people tasty and nutritious foods. Thank you all for supporting our work.
Most of you will be receiving our sweet Genovese basil and here’s a tip for replacing expensive pine nuts..use sunflower seeds! They’re tasty, nutritious, and costing so much less! You can also use the baby celery and young fennel for making pesto and can always freeze it for using another time.
We know many of our subscribers are enthusiastic about getting freshly harvested food from Seabreeze Family Farm. It would be helpful if you could take a photo of a plate you prepared with your farm share and post it on our Facebook page and on Next Door so your friends and neighbors could also benefit from your neighborhood’s locally grown food.
We look forward to seeing how you transform your Seabreeze ingredients.
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 clients, 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.
