That’s a wrap folks, we are taking our freezer and our coolers and going home!
After 11 great years, Saturday was our last appearance at the Davis Farmers Market. Thank you to all our fantastic customers over those years for the support and belief in us and our products, and of course for all the early (and not-so-early) Saturday morning laughs. Thanks also to Randii, Debbie, and all the market staff for the hard work you put in to running such a national treasure of a market!
And thank you to our mazing parade of market staff who have represented us so well over the last few years. Y’all are rock stars!

Thank you all!!
Gillies, Alexis & Isla! 🎤farmers.market

What a great day!
We hosted a prescribed fire training day here on the ranch hosted by and the Siskiyou prescribed burn association. It was good to get some “brambleberries” (blackberries, brambles) burnt, but it was also great to see so many folk with an interest in learning how to manage fire.
I also got a surprise visit from my old mate Brandon and some other folks!
