WEEKLY UPDATES FROM THE FARM

The land feels alive right now — buzzing bees, bursting berries, and rows of vegetables soaking up the summer sun and our sunflowers in bloom. There’s something magical about this time of year, when the days stretch long and the harvest rolls in fast and full.

As I walk the farm each week, I’m reminded that this food doesn’t just grow from the earth to magically appear harvested— it’s brought to life by hands. Real, skilled hands. Hands that know the rhythm of the seasons, the language of soil, and the weight of hard work.

We’ve restocked our small-batch tallow products, handcrafted from cows raised on our farm in Buellton. These are some of my favorite skin-care staples — ultra-hydrating, smooth, and so pure you could eat them (but maybe don’t). We’ve added lavender to our lineup, alongside vanilla, tea tree, and our sunscreen balm just in time for summer. 

Last week I covered for Luciano and was reminded how amazing he is. Let me just say, the man is a machine on the Santa Barbara delivery route. One of his superpowers is getting every single box to the right doorstep with care and precision in a timely manner. It’s a marathon-style skill set, and I was deeply reminded how much heart and hustle goes into getting these boxes from our field to you. We even made a little reel on Instagram while I was on the route — your front door might have made a cameo!

It’s the unofficial start of summer — and you can feel it! We welcome the longest day of the year this month, the fields are bursting with variety, and our strawberry rows are practically glowing with fruit. This is the season when the farm explodes with abundance, and we’re so excited to share it with you.

Strawberries are back! — and we couldn't be happier. There’s nothing quite like the taste of a fresh-picked strawberry. Unlike berries harvested unripe and left to "ripen" on shelves, ours are picked at their peak — usually just a day or so before they land in your box. The difference in flavor is everything.

Over the weekend, I brought in my dear friend Kelly from Where Spirit Meets Space to help me bring more harmony and intention into my home through feng shui. As part of the process, we walked the land together — and I saw it all with fresh eyes.

Every CSA box is like a little reset. It’s easy to get caught up in busy days, wondering what’s for dinner or reaching for whatever’s fast. But this box offers a chance to pause, peek inside, and let the contents guide you.
