Week of November 1st

Let our vegetables detox you from the candy you took from the children πŸ™‚ Enjoy the last weeks of summer produce. The temperatures are dropping quick up here in Buellton and we are heading right into winter. Luckily we still have tomatoes growing in Goleta and can still look forward to heirloom tomatoes in the coming weeks!!
Keep us in mind when shopping for Christmas gifts! A two week CSA subscription is the perfect gift of health. And if your giftee ends up signing up for a subscription we will give you a free box of veggies. woohoo!

And just as the weather turns for the cooler the red peppers decided to drop off the radar. We were origionally going to put them in our boxes this week (now replaced with cucumbers), but when we went to pick them the peppers werent there like days before. Thats how things work here on the farm. Enjoy those cucumbers. They are nestled under a greenhouse to keep the temperatures warm enough to produce fruit for us.
