1000 Foot Perspective

When trying to understand different weather patterns and the effect they have on different micro-climates it is always helpful to get the 1000 foot perspective…...Ellwood Canyon Farms is located in the mouth of a canyon running off a southern facing coastal mountain range.  I did some exploring this weekend and found my way to the top of the canyon looking back at the coast.  Directly behind the farm is 70 acres of certified organic farm ground, not in production….  Behind that are multiple citrus and avocado orchards.  Then it gets steep. 

Farmers Market and the Honor Man Stand have been getting better.  The two  people in the photo are Miguel Iniguez of Ebby’s Organic Farm, he farms the field next to mine and we share the honest man stand.  The woman is his niece Lorena who works with him.  They are great people and it is a pleasure to work with them both.  If your reading this and live in the area please stop by on Saturdays and Sundays from 10am - 6pm.  The stand is set up where Langlo Ranch Rd. dead ends and Ellwood Canyon Farms begins (follow the sign posted at the intersection of Winchester and Cathedral Oaks).  [nggallery id=228]
