Berkeley, Los Gatos, San Francisco and Beyond.
The dry-farmed Early Girl tomatoes are coming on strong and they taste great. We will be offering them by the 20# crate for $50 or by the pint basket for $3 apiece. We will be bringing around 20 cases, for sure, and maybe more. We will see what the sun does this week.
Carlo of @linger___longer and @mealkittymeow will be making tomato toasts at the Sunday Sesame Tiny Bakery pop-up.
Thanks to Sesame Tiny Bakery for inviting us to their event. We’re excited to find another landing spot in the East Bay. We will have San Marzano tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, Early Girls, and Piennolo tomatoes by then. Maybe we’ll even have a few Heirlooms to offer.
San Marzano tomatoes are starting. We figure on picking around 20 x 20# cases to bring to Berkeley. We’re asking $60/case..
Dry-Farmed Piennolo tomatoes are so good. They taste great and if you don’t use them all at once they hang out in splendid shape for a long time. They make great dried tomatoes but they’re excellent fresh too.
Hello Friends: Drop by the Sesame Tiny Bakery in Berkeley tomorrow, Sunday, August 24th from 11 to 2 and visit us and the other vendors. We’re in the fields picking right now and the crop looks good. Dry-Farmed Early Girls will be $50 for a 20# case, and we will have some pint baskets available for $4pint basket or 3 for $10. Cherry tomatoes and/or Piennolo tomatoes will be $4/pint basket or 3 baskets for $10 as well and whole flats for $36/case. San Marzano Tomatoes will be $60/20 lb case. We will also bring herbs, flowers, and other goodies from the earth. As always, cash works best, but we do Venmo & Paypal too.
The Dahlias are looking strong on the farm these days. Starr will bring a quantity of mixed garden bouquets that I’m sure will have some cool Dahlias.
Next weekend, Saturday, August 30th, we will be in Los Gatos on Izorah Way from 11 am to 1pm. Izorah Way is a short, quiet, residential street. You won’t be able to miss us. We’ll be the only ones out on the sidewalk hustling tomatoes, basil, flowers, peppers, herbs, and lavender products. You could probably just close your eyes and sniff us down!
This evening shot of our little 4×4 wheel-barrow had me thinking we should be Kubota influencers! The Tithonia Starr picked goes so well with the Kubota’s colors.
Rosie at Deer Creek Farm helped Starr distill Lavender oil from our crop of fresh lavender flowers. Here is Rosie’s still.
On Sunday, August 31st, we will be popping up in front of Piccino Restaurant in San Francisco, 1001 Minnesota Street, down in The Dogpatch.
As the season progresses we will schedule pop-up events in Palo Alto, and West Berkeley. We look forward to seeing you. As our sacramental marigold crop comes into focus we will announce a series of U-Pick Marigold events. Thanks, Starr & Andy
And here are some bottles of lavender oil and lavender hydrosol that Starr has bottled up. We will be bringing a quantity with us to Berkeley.
I just had to share this picture because I’m so stoked that our Brugmansia sanguinea tree is so happy.
This is one of Starr’s favorite Dahlias.
Marigold season is just around the corner; we’re making our first harvests of the year this evening.
Selfi with Chilacayote. It amazes me that a gourd this big and heavy can hang from a squash plant that has decided to climb a tree.
