Springing hard around here! While plant sale prep has been the main focus, things are moving along at a steady clip in the field too. Our tunnels are in full production with all manner of greens, herbs, and summer veg. Keep an eye out for farm stand announcements over the next several weeks as we prepare to settle into the 2025 season.

Grateful for our chefs that love all parts and forms of the wide variety of produce we grow! Beautiful beet greens and green garlic were snapped up by our friends at this week along with chives, arugula, mizuna, rainbow Swiss Chard and beet roots.

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.

https://alchemistcdc.org/donate/

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).
