PLEASE HELP SUPPORT COMMUNITY FOOD CONNECTIONS!!

Just before Christmas we donated a harvest of beautiful fennel, Tokyo turnips, cilantro, flat leaf parsley and scallions for 50 families to our partners at

They have had a sudden, unforeseen loss of funding and don't have money to purchase fresh, local produce...a core component of their weekly food deliveries. Most of this produce is coming from our farm and .food.hub

Their weekly produce budget is around $500, so if we can help them raise a few thousand dollars, this will allow them to continue their critical service that supports neighborhood families in our area until a long term solution can be finalized.

Their program has been and continues to be an important part of our business and our connection to the community. Please take a few minutes to follow the donation link and give what you can.

IMPORTANT: include "CFC" in the notes section when you donate so it is allocated correctly.

Thank you for supporting our family farm in 2024!

and right here: Michael Grunwald's unfortunate take on the future of food. Between parenting two very young children, running and small business, and unlike Grunwald, actually farming, I can barely wrap my head around his warped misunderstanding and gross mischaracterizations of (in theory or in practice), much less build a coherent rebuttal. But would love to read some!

City Of Trees (and leaves) meets Farm To Fork Capital.

Leaf season ...the most wonderful time of year! This incredible bounty of organic material is literally raining down on Sacramento and filling the streets.

While most folks are raking and blowing this treasure into piles for "The Claw" to haul them away, we are doing all we can to gather, shred, wet, inoculate and pile to encourage our microbial partners.

Our new portable battery powering our electric leaf mulcher and allowing me to set up my leaf shredding station in middle of beautiful neighborhood leaf piles.

These shredded leaves are a foundational component of our on-farm composting program.

We love fall/winter cover crop season!

For many of our 60 permanent beds, this spells the end of the 2024 cropping season and a hopeful beginning of 2025.

Our no-till system for establishing a good stand involves pre-soaking seed (Premium Soil Builder mix from ), flail mowing the summer crop residue, hand broadcasting inoculated seed, covering seed with a layer of compost and sprinkler irrigation (or rain if the timing works out).

Lettuce week! Somehow, 3 plantings of lettuce have converged on ONE WEEK to be ripe and ready for harvest, and THIS IS THE WEEK. HUNDREDS of little gems coming at you tomorrow during the farm stand. If you can't make it, message us, and we'll probably be able to get you set for the week on Sunday morning. Personally, can easily go through a head per meal with 2 adults and a 4 yr old who only eats crackers & apple sauce, so LOAD UP so you can get your veg in between all the Halloween candy. Usually the bagged little gems have 2-3 heads in them, depending on the weight. 🥬🥗

THIS is the week to load up on Joi Choi, this aptly named bok choi that forms massive heavy heads with CRUNCHY thick stems. Stir fry it, toss it in a soup, or bust out your arsenal of 16 obscure Korean ingredients and make some kimchi...and then stir fry THAT after a week or several of fermentation magic, or just eat it straight out the jar because it's that good 🤤🤤🤤
Seriously, these things are gorgeous right now. We don't grow much because they're never as popular as they should be but I can't seem to stop sowing "just a few". So now is your chance! Come get 'em Saturday.

Feeding the soil, our community and ourselves

Our 1-acre urban farmstead, located in the Tallac Village neighborhood of Sacramento (4971 64 Street), will produce a wide variety of fruits and vegetables on a low-till, permanent bed system. We strive to build a financially viable farm business that not only support us, but our community as well. We grow and sell delicious, nutritious produce in Sacramento. You can find our produce at Oak Park Farmers Market (May-Oct), Root 64 Farm Stand (Every Tuesday evening starting in June 2018!) and various local restaurants.
