boys howdy are we READY for y'all this weekend!

This Saturday, we'll bundle up in flannels and boots and just as the sunlight hits the farmhouse, we'll be up and about getting ready for your visit. The garden will fill first with early morning yoga friends, and when you head up to the bistro tent, all sorts of good smells will be seeping out. The bakery rack will be stacked with pumpkin scones and the chirp of the spiced cider as it perc's away, ready to warm chilly bones. At night, when that October sun sweeps down behind the mountains, the fields will be dotted with folks munching on boxes full of creamy cheese, crisp crackers and cinnamon swirled pumpkin butter. Glasses will clink above the quiet roar of cozy chatter between friends, and through it all we'll hear sweet folky melodies from our local musicians.

And in between the sips and eats, we'll fill our buckets with golden sunflowers. We'll walk through the mucky rows and listen to the buzz of the bees, and feel the pokey stems under our fingertips. We'll feel rooted in the simple magic that comes with this chilly month of October and this tiny family farm.

We'll see you there!

OCTOBER & THE SUNFLOWERS STARTS OCTOBER 16TH, 2021!

Join us at the farm this autumn! When the sunflowers bloom we’ll be open everyday for shopping, u-pick sunflowers, live acoustic music, pumpkin ginger scones and our spicy lavender apple cider. It’s a bonafide Fork & Plow experience and we are stoked to host everyone again!

So, what's the deal?
🌻 Two types of value packed farm passes (Morning and Evening), they each have different offerings—but both include a autumn inspired menu item and a lavender spiced cider.

🌻 Back by popular demand is Yoga with Jenne from Go OM Yoga! We had such an incredible response from her yoga flow sessions this summer, we just had to ask her back! Tickets are available each morning October 16th-23rd. These are separate from Farm Pass tickets.

🌻 We're changing things up this season—1) Growing sunflowers in quadrants, this means instead of one huge field going in all at once, there will be a new section of flowers popping up every other day! This is going to help extend the season a little bit. 2) We shifted our opening day to later in October to help combat aggressive heatwaves. We've got our fingers crossed for deliciously cooler weather and all the spicy autumn vibes.

🌻 How many sunflowers are we talking? About 8,000!

🌻 Leashed puppies are allowed at the farm but are not allowed in the sunflower field.

🌻 Do we need to bring anything?
Ticket holders will receive an email about a week before their visit date with details about proper clothing, footwear and what to bring/what to expect. We typically ask guests to bring a bucket that can hold a few inches of water—this will keep your sunflowers fresh during your visit.

🌻 Read the website thoroughly! We spend a good amount of time updating it with current information and details about upcoming events.

HEY HEY!
We are just a few weeks out from our first round of events and we are OVER THE MOON to host everyone!

May 8th—The workshop is getting decked out with pots of herbs and hanging baskets for the Spring Bloom Soiree. We're serving up fresh berry scones and pouring mugs of hot lavender London fogs and bringing in all of the fresh cut flowers for y'all to create some charming arrangements for Mothers Day. We've been sold out for awhile now, and are so excited to host everyone who snagged tickets!

May 29th—Market lights, a late spring sunset, live jazz musicians... this might be one of our most looked forward to events this spring—its Jazz in the Garden! Our little catering co. is already pouring over their scratch recipes for blackberry tarts and charred corn potato salad. We've got fresh baked bread for our vegetable forward Nicoise sandwiches and those cheddar and onion scones are going to pair perfectly with our house favorite icebox chicken! Oh, and spicy radishes + bacon butter—that's happening too. Jazz in the Garden is SOLD OUT!

May is set to be a joy filled month, a little tiptoe into the thrill of lavender season and we are so grateful to be back again to serve our community.

In just a few short months the farm will roll back our big gate. The fields will be a hazy sea of purple and green. and if you listen close-- you'll hear the honeybees happily buzzing away. Parasols and seagrass summer hats will be seen bobbing through the rows, as folks stoop to cut another bloom. Somedays its chilly, and we'll be serving up hot lavender lattes, but mostly the air will be deliciously warm, and hands will wrap around ice cold glasses of tart pink lemonade. The farm tables will be spread with all of the good things. Think a few curated picnic boxes— a grazing box filled with peppered sopressata, velvety gouda and piquant blue cheese. Housemade herbs de Provence lavish crackers, garden berries, and lavender rhubarb jam. A vegetarian sandwich box with a Niçoise styled Pan Bagnat, fresh bread stuffed with artichokes, peppers and shallots and just dripping with local olive oil. Or an Icebox Chicken dinner with sweet corn cake, and a garden potato salad with all the fresh chopped basil and punchy vinegar, and a few French breakfast radishes with smokey bacon butter.

It’s a throwback to old California—weekend picnics out in the field with a botanical popsicle to finish off the afternoon. Each table with an incredible view of the valley and the sweet smell of lavender rolling through the trees. Breathe the fresh mountain air, stretch your legs in the lavender rows, and feast on sumptuous picnic styled fare. It’s all the farm to table goodness we’ve been waiting for, a place to gather joyfully with your people and dig deep into the natural charm of the farm.

These early spring days have been spent working on all sorts of little projects around the farm.

Buck built a beautiful wooden fence around our garden area-- its secluded and cozy, perfect for an intimate ceremony or yoga practice, or even just a quiet cup of morning joe. A few climbing roses and maybe a eucalyptus tree or two will be added to the space as it warms up a bit.

The henhouse was refreshed, a few cobwebs cleaned out, the laying boxes filled with fresh straw-- our new girls have started laying the prettiest brown eggs this week and quite a few of those eggs have ended up poached, laying on a buttered slice of sourdough.

The lemons for this summer's lemonade have ripened and are all ready to be juiced by our kitchen team, we can't wait to sip on tall glasses of that lavender infused goodness.

As the days of March tip toe in, we're watching the whole farm quietly come alive. The apricot tree is bursting with the sweetest scented white blooms. Soon the lavender will turn from its dusty winter gray into a bright hazy green, long wisps reaching out ready to turn purple and the cottonwoods will start whispering again as their branches brush against the sky.

Spring is so close we can taste it, and we couldn't be more excited to share the farm with you again this year. There's new happenings (email friends, check your inbox!) and we brought back old favorites like Icebox Chicken and Pan Bagnats. Its set to be a wonderful season full of fresh flowers, u-pick lavender, picnics, and live music-- and we're just over the moon about it all.
