Setting Goals for 2026 and Harvesting Celery
We hope you had a lovely New Year! As we look forward into 2026, one of our biggest goals for the farm is to increase community engagement through events as well as volunteer opportunities. We’re currently hammering out the details for our spring events so stay tuned! Though we plan on having more volunteer events like we did with our orchard in the fall, we also welcome volunteers that would like to help us with farm tasks every week! If you’re interested in volunteering with us and would like more details, please reach out to our Farm Team at JordanRanch@Agmenity.com
Celery is officially in season! We’ve been harvesting bunches of it over the past couple of weeks for the Grab-and-Go coolers and it’s really hitting its stride. Our celery is incredibly flavorful and makes a great addition to a multitude of recipes from salads to soups and beyond. You can use the leafy green tops like an herb and the slim stalks in any recipe that calls for celery. While celery is often used as a base ingredient, this celery salad with blood oranges, dates, and walnuts puts it front and center.
The arrival of January means it’s already time to start our tomato seeds! We planted the first round of tomato seeds this week that will eventually be transplanted into the high tunnel. Since the high tunnel offers protection from the elements as well as a warmer environment, we always plant seeds for these varieties before those that will be planted in the field. Here’s what we planted: Black Cherry, Cherry Bomb, Sun Gold, and Cherokee Purple tomatoes.
In Season: Baby Carrots (limited), Spinach, Celery, Fennel, Green Onions, Green Cabbage, Parsley, Cilantro, Dill, Collard Greens, Curly Kale, Red Russian Kale, Tuscan Kale, Romaine Lettuce Heads, Swiss Chard, Arugula, Hakurei Turnips, and Radishes
