The Phoenix Has Risen

May 19, 2016 by monte

First off, I would like to take a moment to welcome our Phoenix members to the farm. This past January, some of you may recall, we began home delivery in the greater Tucson area. Over the last 4 years, the number of growers we have partnered with in Arizona has become very strong. Our winter producers are almost all in Arizona. It is funny, we are ramping up in our fields and they are heading into the last month before their “off-season.”

Plant Sale, all I can say is wow. Biggest turnout ever, selling 1,600 plants in the span of 3 hours. Thank you to everyone who came out. I think we got through it without too many snags. Definitely a lot to learn from moving forward, but we are getting better every year with it. Next year I think we are looking at expanding it out over two weekends to accommodate all the interest. Thank you!

The Sale Barn and Excelsior Orchards

April 21, 2016 by monte

First up this week, I want to introduce you to the “Sale Barn.” I know you might be asking yourself if I have fallen off the tractor 1 too many times, but there is a point to this I promise. We have been bringing you so many new items and there are times when these new items don’t get onto the radars of our members.

My Pledge

April 7, 2016 by monte

Good news from our CSA Manager, Emma: Due to all of the supportive emails asking for us to bring Home Delivery to their neighborhoods, we are happy to announce that Belen, Los Lunas, and Bosque Farms can begin opening their doors instead of going to the stores. Please let any friends or family you know in those communities that they can jump on the home delivery train.

Welcome Spring (Break)

Recipe Idea: Parsley Pesto with Pecans

Taking a small break….new newsletter will be back next week 🙂

Man, just as I said that we haven’t seen much of the March Lion, we got absolutely hammered this week. Fortunately, no real damage on the farm. Just hunkering down and waiting for the sandblasting to leave us alone. Which it always does, just never feels like it comes soon enough.

Fennel and the Farmy Fridays

March 10, 2016 by monte

Flavors are such amazing things to examine. Somethings you want bold and strong like a BBQ sauce. While others, like a hint of sage on mushrooms, you want to be so faint that you almost cannot discern it is even there. The artistry of cooking can come down to which path you follow—is it a bold statement or just a hint to lure you in?
