To all our current and future egg subscribers. You may notice your eggs getting darker orange, richer tasting and just all around more delicious. Our chickens, who are now co-mingling with our turkeys, are running through green pastures and eating all sorts of bugs just like they should be. If you are on our waiting list, hang tight, we will get you involved soon. Depending on how cold the winter gets up here in Buellton we expect to start adding on dozens within the next few months here.
Check out our new website at www.somethinggoodorganics.com. Same content, but hopefully a little easier to read. We would LOVE to hear your feedback and encourage you to send your testimonials our way so we can share the good news with the community.
We just planted our first Pixie and Satsuma Tangerine trees. Looking forward to some delicious little cuties in a few years. None of that pithy, watery stuff I’ve heard about in the store. We picked some of our favorite citrus varieties than can be enjoyed by the whole family.
We hope you enjoy the bounty from the farm this week. A lot of great, hardworking guys are making this happen as we speak.

Spaghetti Squash Burrito Bowls
(This has to be one of my all time favorite squashes. Seen as they don’t store as well on the farm as say, butternut squash, we are trying to include them a few times before they are all used up. ENJOY. And 1/2 the recipe unless you have another squash laying around. Using a little bit of Parmesan cheese can be a cleaner eating alternative. A little goes a long way.)
Ingredients:
2 medium sized spaghetti squash
1 tablespoon high heat oil (I use sunflower oil)
1 (14.5 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (16 ounce) jar of salsa (use your preferred level of spiciness)
2 tablespoons olive oil (or preferred cooking oil)
1 large bell pepper or two small, cored and sliced
1 large red onion, sliced
2 cups corn kernels, frozen and defrosted or fresh
1 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
2 jalapenos, cored and sliced (optional)
6 green onions, sliced (optional)
1 teaspoon cumin
salt & pepper
1 cup shredded cheddar/monterey jack cheese
