Volunteer Spotlight
We are honored to introduce you to one of our hardworking volunteers, Dafne! She plays a large part in harvesting and making the bouquets you see at the Farm Stand. After setting a goal at the beginning of the year to be outside more and slow down, Dafne discovered that we were part of her local community and started volunteering with us. During her time with us, she has gained a lot of flower growing knowledge that she has been able to apply in her own garden. Dafne believes flowers bring a lot of joy so she loves seeing customers get excited about them at the Farm Stand. If you’re interested in volunteering with us, we encourage you to send us an email at JordanRanch@Agmenity.com!
Like Dafne says, flowers do indeed bring a lot of joy but they also provide a source of food for our local pollinators! While some crops like leafy greens and root vegetables don’t require pollination in order to produce, many of our warm season crops do. Varietals like cucumbers and zucchini produce both male and female flowers on the same plant. In order to successfully pollinate the female flowers and yield fruit, we need the help of our pollinators! Our common pollinators include several different types of bees, wasps, and butterflies.
In Season at the Farm Stand: Cantaloupe, Watermelon, Cucumber, Long Beans, Okra, Eggplant, Tomatoes, Zucchini, Jalapenos, Bell Peppers, Shishito Peppers, Poblano Peppers, Cornito Peppers, Lunchbox Peppers, Carrots, Basil, and Flower Bouquets and Stems
