As usual, it’s been a while since we’ve posted anything here. We’re happy to say that the farm is still thriving and the Farm Stand business continues to grow. We are so thankful for our loyal customers that continue to visit us regularly, and the many new customers we have gained this past year. Your support means the world to us!
The water supply outlook has really improved with 2023 bringing in record rain and snowpack, and 2024 looking positive. Water is the lifeblood of every farm, and it sustains the plants and animals and natural habitats we have here on our farm, so it’s a relief when we see full reservoirs and snow in the mountains heading into spring and summer.
The almond bloom is beginning to fade, while the plums, apricots and peaches are beginning their bloom. This time of year is a lot of mowing and weed-eating, pruning, fixing and upgrading irrigation, and planning and planting veggies. The Farm Stand is stocked with delicious citrus right now and a new batch of hand-made goat milk soap, made with milk from our goats. We’re brainstorming new products for the Stand this year, and we’ve added a “suggestion” pad in the Stand, so if there’s anything you’d like us to consider stocking, let us know.
Here’s to a fruitful 2024!
