My dear Community, As we roll through these last weeks of what feels like summer, we continue to cash in on all the bounty it has to offer. Weekly cantaloupe seems eternal, but as everything is starting to cool down in Buellton, the end is on the horizon. We planted extra strawberries this year and they too are starting their dormant cycle. Head …

My dear Community, If you’ve had an egg subscription with us a full year you are probably aware that we have a major decline in egg production as we head into the cooler months- yes, eggs are seasonal too! I was so focused on the rainy season I had a lapse in getting new chicks so we are really feeling the seasonal swing. I like to give my chickens rest when they …

My dear Community, October heat waves seem to be the norm now. Even though it was quite hot for us, it was a great push for the crops on the farm. Summer crops get a chance to hold on a bit longer and our winter crops get a boost. As the days get shorter and the weather inevitably gets cooler, the winter …
Week of October 4th
My dear Community, It’s been a busy week on the farm. The weather is starting to cool down but we’re still harvesting summer and fall crops while planting for the winter. As the temperatures drop, Buellton will transform into mostly cover crops and our farm in Goleta will carry us through the winter time. If you’ve ever lived anywhere besides California you know how amazing it is that we …
Week of September 30th
My dear community, When I stepped outside this weekend I could feel a distinct shift in the air. There was a certain smell, a crispness. Can you feel fall in the air? We are nearing the end of summer crops, but not this week. We’ll continue to bask in all the glory that summer has to offer. We’re fortunate enough in this climate …
Week of September 20th
My dear Community, As we approach the fall season, we are savoring the last of our summer crops. I hope you’ve been enjoying all the colors that the season brings. I’m happy to have strawberries back in our boxes this week. The ones from our farm have set the bar for all berries. Have you ever thought about how food gets onto grocery store shelves? …
Week of September 13th
My dear community, We’re diving headfirst into melons this week. With an abundance on the farm comes an abundance in the box. Enjoy them along with our last days of summer. We’re also loading you up with my favorite tomato- mountain magic and some smaller cherry tomatoes. Make sure to sort through them, eat any split ones immediately and store …
Week of September 6th
My dear Community, Happy Labor Day. If the purpose of Labor Day is to honor workers and their contributions to society then it is definitely a day to celebrate our workers here on the farm. It feels like a lifetime ago, but I come from a more conventional 9-5 setting in an office. Although it …
Week of August 30th
My dear Community, I’m adding one of my favorite squashes into the box this week- orange kabocha. Since we are having a heat wave, you can tuck this one away until it cools down if you’d like. These squashes are so flavorful and full of natural sugars they don’t stay too long on the farm before we run out …
Week of August 23rd
My dear Community, I hope you and yours stayed safe and went unscathed by Tropical Storm Hilary yesterday. Through the chaos of a storm that surely hit southern California pretty hard, we seemed to receive the beauty of it all. I saw some beautiful captures of the massive rainbow taken from Goleta yesterday and we shared the epic bright pink sunset in Buellton on our IG @somethinggoodorganics. Strawberries are …
