This Month In Photos: May
May has brought buckets on buckets of flowers, the end to artichoke season (thank goodness!), and two very fulfilling farm tours. We’ve loved seeing new and old wholesale customers increase and change up their ordering- horray for so many bachelor buttons to garnish bay area restaurant soups and salads! While we’ve been short staffed for the bulk of the month, we’re still pushing forward and the land keeps on sprouting and blooming. Enjoy a colorful peek at what’s been happening in the field the last few weeks!
Specialty romaine lettuce varieties are in the ground, folks!
Calendula has been a hot commodity with wholesale customers this season. Use it in teas, salves, garnishes or to brighten up your best friend’s day.
