Hello beautiful Earthstar Farms friends,
I am Amanda, the garden manager at both Wildcat Gardens and Earthstar Farms.
The St. John's Wort has begun blooming and, thanks to the abundant spring rains, it looks to be a large crop this year!
I want to let you know we will have two different PYO days for individuals to join us. July 4th, from 8:30-1.
PYO will be different this year, as we will be meeting at Earthstar Farms, just west of the Starhouse parking lot up top, instead of at Wildcat Gardens, down below. To get to Starhouse, be sure the directions take you up Sunshine Canyon, and not up Linden (it is easy to get lost, and locked out of private roads if you don't come up Sunshine Canyon, and the reception on the mountain is very spotty).
Our PYO prices increased a little bit this year, to accomodate for inflation and the cost to run the program without Ben. We will be charging $1/oz harvested to be weighed at the drying shed at Earthstar Farms after you have harvested your fill.
Please reply if you would like to participate, and let me know what date to expect you! I would suggest coming early in the day to enjoy the mountain breeze before it gets too hot.
We can accept cash or venmo for payment. Everyone who comes to harvest will need to sign a waiver to be on the land. I am attaching that to this e-mail so you can sign it ahead of time.
If you have any questions feel free to reach out to Amanda at [email protected]
Thanks so much and happy summer!
