The unique shape and versatility in the kitchen has made Patty Pan Squash a fan favorite during the Spring and Summer season! Veggie lovers enjoy this squash prepared in many ways like dicing and roasting, slicing fresh into a salad, and coring the middle to stuff with your favorite meat or rice. We are also excited to restock the Grab-n-Go cooler with tunnel-grown cucumbers! These fruits are slender, long, and crispy - perfect for a summer salad or sandwich.

This week we also enjoyed a very small taste of orchard fruits that are in abundance and slowly ripening. Freshly harvested figs warmed by the summer sun taste like a spoonful of sweet jam! These early harvests are sparse and must be caught before the birds find them, but we are hopeful for bigger harvests soon that will be sold in the Grab-n-Go cooler!

Be sure to stop by the Farm Stand this Saturday from 9am - 12pm to get your fill of summertime veggies and flowers! In coming weeks we plan to fill the field with more beautiful sunflower varieties that will bloom in late summer. For now, the birds are feasting on many sunflower heads in the field that have made delicious seeds!

In Season : Patty Pan Squash, Cucumbers, Okra, Long Beans, Basil, Peppers : Banana, Shishito, Green Bell, Sweet Bell, Jalapeno, Mad Hatter, and Poblano, and Flowers

Join us at Sunset Farm to harvest fresh veggies, plant new Spring crops, and cultivate healthy soil through our volunteer program! We love to share the beauty and bounty of the farm with novice and seasoned gardeners alike, and no farming experience is necessary to be part of the Sunset Farm family. As the Spring season gains more momentum, our volunteers have the opportunity to follow crops from seed to harvest and experience our organically-based growing practices firsthand.

If you have a particular interest in learning more about fruit or flower production, Sunset Farm’s orchard and flower patch are beautiful spaces to grow your green thumb! Our pomegranate trees are now loaded with vibrant flowers and small fruits, which will be quickly followed by figs and jujubes! When caring for pomegranates, patience is key as the fruits take around five months to develop from pollination to full maturity!

Feel free to stop by our Farm Stand on Saturday morning from 9am - 12pm to inquire more about volunteer options, or reach out to jordanranch@agmenity.com! This week we have a tasty selection of fresh leafy greens, root veggies, and a limited variety of new Spring crops like summer squash! This Saturday you can also find herb seedlings for your home garden including rosemary, sage, and chives!
