At the EcoFarm conference, we met the innovative cider makers from Ethic Ciders. Upon learning that they shared many of our values around organic and regenerative agriculture, we reached out to Ned and Ryan from Ethic and they were eager to apply their ingenuity to making a limited release cider using our pears.

Dear CSA Members,

One of my favorite places on the farm to visit is our experimental garden which is nestled in-between the rows of  citrus and blossoming peaches trees. It’s a calming and inspiring area that provides me with great joy and inspires creativity.  All the planning and work the farm team did for the garden last year is now coming in to fruition. The Spanish Roja garlic, the French grey shallots, Caraflex cabbage, Fiero Radicchio are just some the produce coming into focus.  Of all the beautiful crops that we grow in the garden, my current obsession is the favas.

Just did a review of orchard bloom, to evaluate brown rot risk in the face of this coming week's stormy weather. Meteorologists are predicting an "Atmospheric River" will dump up to 9" of rain in some areas of the North Bay.
