My dear community,
We’ve added a few partnerships lately and I wanted to provide a recap. If you haven’t already, check out Sun and Swell (add hyperlink) pantry staples. Use code SOMETHINGGOOD for $10 off your first order. (and a 25% off your first order popup happens when you go to the website) They are an SB family company supplying you staples with compostable packaging and fresh from the farmer products.
We’ve also partnered with Native Pastures, a company in the Santa Ynez valley providing pasture raised meats. They’ve put together a few packages to try out which can be added on as a subscription (weekly, bi-monthly or monthly) or you can purchase them one time in our CSA store. We know you will taste the difference and sustainably raised meat is the only way to go if you choose to eat it. We will also be offering single cuts in the store coming soon. We’ve also gotten a hold of some really good and crunchy granola made by a local woman here in Buellton. It’s available in the store moving forward.
Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions you have. We want to be completely transparent with our partnership and their practices.
Be good to each other.
