The promise of Spring is coming

I have noticed something recently; social media seems to have been flooded with shots of crowds and not selfies with puckered up lips looking like a guppy fish. Our country seems like a fired up place right now. People marching in protest. People walking in support. And people jogging just to hang onto those final threads of their New Year’s resolution. Whatever the reason, there is a very strong sense of We right now in our country wherever your political flag is planted.

I read a pretty interesting article that I have to tell you did not sit all that well in my stomach next to my breakfast burrito. The article was highlighting how chain restaurants are flooding into Albuquerque right now trying to find their position in a very competitive market.

So I have a mental exercise that I would like for you to do as homework before throwing a tooth into some amazing foods. Or maybe do it while you are chewing. Up to you amigos.

What a great kick off to 2017. I could not be happier with all of the fresh produce that we are seeing right now. This week will hit the low 70s pretty consistently on our Arizona farms. And for those of you who are like me and can speak to plants, you know that when temperatures are in the 70s plants are happy. That is when plants are in their “chill zone” (I made that term up so don’t try and Google it).

What a wild end to the year. For some folks, the holiday season is a time to unwind, relax and knock back some egg nog. But it has become a fairly crazy time for me around the farm. I know it seems like it shouldn’t be with the cold weather and all, but it is a pretty anxious time for me.
