Wacky Weather
The temperatures this week plummeted 20 degrees in two days with this cold front. I heard more sandhill cranes flying overhead while packing the car tonight for Heather and I to share a booth with Gary Liss tomorrow at the Loomis Eggplant Festival. We will have animals, displays, info on Placer Local Food Alliance, The Art of Real Food cookbooks for sale for the school garden, and our lunch cooking in the solar oven.
Two farms are starting from scratch.
They are turning the dirt and hoping to be successful enough to turn a profit, and to become a valuable part of their communities as suppliers of organically grown food.
Peaceful Valley is giving them a head start by offering them special pricing as part of this Freshman Farmer program.
