Grandpa

Things are really picking up here at Ellwood Canyon Farms.  After over a month of cool wet foggy June gloom weather the sun has finally started to show its face.  This means happy tomatoes and bountiful harvests, just in time too because I found out last week I was accepted into 2 more markets.  I now do Wednesday in Santa Barbara, Thursday in Goleta, and Friday in Montecito.  A lot of time away from the farm but I am pleased to have more markets to sell my produce.

The CSA has also been going well.  I have 20 members for July and shares have been packed full of summer produce.  My mother brought up my 90 year old grandpa and 85 year old grandma to experience a CSA day on the farm this last Monday.  My grandfather farmed his entire life in the Imperial Valley and was anxious to come see my setup.  They had a great time, helped me out with the harvest, and really enjoyed meeting all my CSA members, a very special day.

Here is a shot of last weeks farmers market booth, the field, and my grandpa helping with harvest….enjoy
