Last week the farm crew got a close up and personal view of the crew fighting the Chute Fire. It was an impressive (and immersive = loud!) experience, especially as the air attack was were using our reservoir to draw from. Watch for the rainbow at the end!

You’ve all probably heard lettuce in the news lately, with the Cyclospora outbreak, which sounds very nasty. Despite reading everything I can find, I still have more questions than answers. Politics may be involved. I’m not going to go very far into the details except to say that in the past most of these type of outbreaks have been connected to large scale farms where there is some kind of processing or packaging involved. Bagged greens or pre-cut veggies are the most common issue. Greens are bagged or cut, processed in factories where there are so many steps it’s difficult to understand and trace all the things that have happened—and this is true for Organic as well as conventional produce. It seems that in this case, bagged iceberg lettuce from Mexico was the culprit, sold by Taylor farms, which is the largest greens distributor in the US. Unfortunately, our weakened federal agencies have been unable to figure it all out definitively, or possibly are unwilling to say.

Interestingly, bagged produce in stores has an appearance or aura of cleanliness versus the more down-homey look of our produce boxes, or what you might find at the farmers market. I’m fascinated by situations where what feels safer is actually more dangerous, and vice versa. There is some evidence that the high tech packaging and the sophisticated processes behind it may actually be part of the food safety problem. Reassuringly, on farms like ours, things happen in a much simpler fashion: We wash our hands first, and then lettuce is harvested and washed in the cool of the morning, chilled in our walk-in overnight, and we deliver it to you the next day. It turns out that keeping it simpler and closer to home is likely keeping us healthier as well.
