The signs are up (see Noah and Micaela standing at the U-Pick sign above), the produce is ready, Jerry is spreading the word at the Farmers' Markets, and people started coming this morning to Locavore Farms to harvest food, meet their neighbors, spend a little time with nature, and to make the farm a vibrant center of growth, learning and community. Thanks to all who have participated - Jerry and his family, our WWOOFers and workers and guests, our well-wishers and observers, and our neighbors and customers.
Our first customer, master gardener Rick Peters of Michigan, was staying with family in Fort Bidwell, and showed up right on time with his own knife to gather the makin's of stuffed cabbage leaves.
Our friends the Klugher family came to gather bok choy, cabbage, and leeks. It was wonderful to see them in the garden and Iris and Cedar, above, really got into the work of excavating and extracting our giant chinese leeks.
It's wonderful to see all the hard work starting to pay off, and to see people enjoying the farm. We're looking forward to a couple of more months of two days a week at the U-Pick and two more days at the Farmers' Market with produce from Jerry's garden.
