My dear community members,

You may or may not have noticed the sourdough bread option disappear from the store. Wendy, the owner of Deux Bakery, mentioned that every loaf that leaves her bakery is made by hand with much attention to detail. Our magnified orders became too overwhelming and we need to cap the number of loaves. Wednesday is now full but we still have availability for Thursday/Friday deliveries. Each week we will put a certain number in the store (aside from subscriptions) for purchase and they will be available until reserved. However, if you have a Thursday/Friday delivery please contact me as we probably can add it even if you don’t see it in the store or as a subscription option.

Human error factor: last week we missed several items in the Juice Feast so we are going to bulk those up this week. We are serious about veggies and want you to know that even though the company has expanded, you should still expect your box to be loaded with goodness. Thanks for understanding and please keep in contact if anything goes missing from your box.

Make sure to check your SPAM folder and star Something Good Organics as a preferred sender. Your email address is safe with us and will only be used with updates regarding the blog, your account and delivery information if applicable.

Find gratitude in the little things.

Hello dear community members,

The growth of our CSA program has necessitated adding another delivery day and changing some pickup days for 2 schools and the entire Santa Ynez Valley. The location will be the same and we will continue to send out an email reminder once your box is ready for pickup. The veggies are still picked fresh right from our farm that morning.

Please note changes below:

Brandon Elementary – Thursday Pickup (was Wednesday)
Adams Elementary – Thursday Pickup (was Wednesday)
Buellton Farm – Friday Pickup (was Thursday)
SY Cottage Hospital – Friday Pickup (was Thursday)
Solvang Elementary School – Friday Pickup (was Thursday)
Children’s Montessori School – Friday Pickup (was Thursday)

Many thanks for breaking down your box and removing your name label, please continue to do so. It really has been helping us run more smoothly through the day.

Don’t forget to use #somethinggoodorganics in your posts, we love to see what you’re up to in the kitchen!

Stay healthy

My dear community members,

It’s been my pleasure watching the CSA expand and reach so many more households. With farmers market attendance at all time (understandable) lows, the farm still needs an outlet to keep selling our vegetables. We are looking forward to fostering new relationships for a long time to come.

Please make sure to take it slow when you are picking up at your scheduled location. Regarding pick-up locations please wait for the email confirming your box has been delivered before arriving to pick it up. A gentle reminder to collapse your box and remove your label (if applicable) for easier logistics and to keep drop spots organized. Give yourself extra time as we all navigate through our day being courteous and respectful to others.

We strive to minimize trash and reuse the boxes. COVID-19 can only live on cardboard for 24 hours, and we wait at least a week before they are reused for safety.

I realize that shopping for additional ingredients might be challenging at this time. The recipes below are just for inspiration. It’s time to really get creative in the kitchen and use what we have to make it work. When we get creative, we save time and money and it’s a good habit to get into to prevent food waste.

Thank you for your continued support and stay safe and healthy.
