Ain’t no party like a garlic planting party 🎉

We’re beyond grateful for the crew of enthusiastic volunteers who showed up and showed out for our annual garlic planting this past Saturday. The energy was so good, everyone left glowing with that unmistakable eau de garlic. Connections were made. Laughs were had. And hard work was accomplished.

Curious about joining future community volunteer days? Sign up for our newsletter to keep tabs on farm happenings. We promise you’ll get way more out of it than you’d expect.

We grow, we tinker, we test, …and, yes, we make our fair share of “oops” along the way. But then there are moments like this photo. Kids beaming, arms full of flowers we dreamed up, grew, and hoped would work out. Their joy is our joy, pure and simple.

Thank you for cheering us on, and for standing behind all our silly ideas and renditions. For supporting the other small dreamers, makers, bakers, and believers who keep our community blooming. Super grateful for y’all!

A little taste of tomorrows beauty for Garlic Festival 🧄

07/25/2025

Our crew just pulled off a sweaty, sun-kissed, miracle, and we’re proud to share the fruits of it with you this weekend. The fields have finally turned generous, and we’re bringing the first full swell of summer to market. The kind of produce that makes you throw open your windows, text your favorite dinner guests, and reach for the chopping knife. The kind that inspires cookbooks and family traditions.

We’ll be at Shirley’s Farmers Market on California Ave this Saturday, and Riverside Farmers Market at Idlewild Park on Sunday. Toting baskets full of everything your summer table could want:

• Summer Zucchini
• Minime Cucumbers
• Cherry Tomatoes
• Basil
• Freshly Cured Garlic
• Shish*to Peppers
• Padron Peppers
• Jalapeños
• Red Beets
• Leeks
• Celery
• Spinach
• Salad Mix
• Dino Kale & Curly Kale
• New Potatoes
• Arugula
• Baby Chard
• Herbs of all sorts
• Hakurei Turnips
• Daikon & Red Radish

…plus whatever else I’m forgetting to list or what tumbles into the crates at the eleventh hour.

Truthfully, market weekends have been quieter than usual this summer. We’re hoping this weekend feels different. That the 75 degree sun brings you out and the vegetables reel you in. That you walk away with full bags, big cooking plans, and a sense that maybe the world is still sweet and worth gathering around.

Come taste what the land gave us this week. We’d love to see you there.

We wait all year for this moment, and it’s finally here… CHERRY TOMATO SEASON, BABY! 🍅✨ These little bursts of summer joy are sweet, sun-kissed, and exclusive. You won’t find flavor like this in your big chain grocery store!

We’ve been holding out on you (just for a little)… but the secret’s out: the cherry tomatoes have arrived in full force. A week of pure, unrelenting heat turned our fields into a tomato wonderland, and now we’ve got enough to share online too!

So go ahead, friends. Treat yourself. Order now for pickup at Shirley’s Farmers Market on Saturday or Riverside Farmers Market on Sunday. And let the tomato party begin. 🍅🎉

Sunflowers and feverfew to kick off our first of many flower harvests 🌻🌾🪻🌼

This years garlic harvest is giving off big bulb energy ✨

We have one more zone to harvest this Saturday, July 12th at 10am, starting with a guided tour of the farm to kick things off. We’d be honored to have your hands in the soil alongside ours, and to give you a chance to see, firsthand, where your food comes from.
 
There is something almost mythic about garlic harvest. You crouch down, grab a green stalk, give it a tug, and up comes this plump, soil-streaked bulb with roots trailing behind like a jellyfish from the deep. It’s messy, fragrant, and completely satisfying. It smells like triumph. And it’s best done in the company of good people and good laughs under the wide summer sky.
 
So come. Bring a sunhat, a water bottle, and maybe a friend who isn’t afraid to smell like someones Italian grandmother for the rest of the day. We promise dirt under your nails, and a whole lot of satisfaction. DM, email, or text us with any questions—we’ll point you to the garlic patch 🧄 🧄 🧄

Garlic lovers, dirt diggers, and pungent queens… WE NEED YOU!

It’s time. Our beloved garlic, planted last fall with hope in our hearts and a chill in the air, is ready to come up out of the ground, and we need your help harvesting it.

We’ll be harvesting on Saturday, July 5th (10m-4pm) and Saturday, July 12th (10am-4pm), and you’re officially invited to join in one of the most joyfully fragrant, highly satisfying, and downright iconic harvests of the season.

There’s nothing quite like tugging a fat, soil-cloaked bulb from the earth, roots trailing like a jellyfish, and laying it down in the sun to cure. It’s messy. It’s magical. It smells like victory. And it’s even better to do with friends.

So grab your hat, your water bottle, and maybe a buddy who doesn’t mind smelling like an Italian kitchen for the rest of the day, we’d love to have you with us.

DM, email or text us for details or any questions.
