Welcoming 2025

We are celebrating the start of another beautiful year at the farm and we are so grateful for all of your support.  Watching the fires in southern California has been heartbreaking, and reminds us to stay on our toes, but seeing of the strength and resiliency of our communities gives us hope.

Special Shipping Opportunity—Jams, Chutneys, Vinegar & Syrup

We are coming up for air after a long and plentiful harvest and event season.  Now we have a little more room to think. So many of you have asked us if we ship our products and we have stuck to our guns and said no.  We have decided to take orders through the rest of November and confine shipping to the first week of December. This is your one time opportunity.  We are hoping for some rainy days - keeping our crew warm and busy inside, filling your orders.   Please submit your order by email. Minimum order is four items. The products we have available are listed below. Orders will be set aside - first come first served. When our inventory dips too low we will cut off the orders. We expect to ship out starting the week of December 8th.

Its the peak of summer and a time of abundance at last. Gather with us in the garden  this weekend for a Saturday Supper  and enjoy the best of the bounty. August 10 is your chance to join us last minute for a two night stay and a two for one supper offer. We have  one cottage available and plenty of room at the table. Mark Mendenhall of Long Meadow Ranch (their vineyards are just across the road from us) will be here to fill your glass with a variety of flavors. Tomatoes and melons from Rita's garden, fish from the nearby sea and early apples from  Tim's orchard are just  some of the farm bounty we will be serving.
