Well we went from 7 days (and 5+ inches?!) of rain to emerge in what is apparently southern California. Highs in the 70s and breezy and not humid at all...Madame Virginia, we could get used to this! Since veggies are like us and mostly WATER they do need a lot to size up, and today we harvested from our first 4 beds of beets, finally.
The other cool thing about this season is that we have more people working and volunteering with us than ever. Everyone who's paid wants more hours (except James, who is maxed and our only full time employee). We've always felt lucky to have good people find us, but it feels especially lux this year to have so many hands on deck. Truly we wish we could afford more! We founded the farm equally on growing the best produce and building the best community...they're both more important than ever.
So if you've ever worked with us, volunteered, visited, come to an event (there's one in our event link in profile right now!), or stopped by the farmer's market, thanks for being here. It's living the dream.
