Thank You for Your Continued Support throughout the Years!
There are some big changes happening for the farm in 2019. We are going to be taking a leave of absence for the coming year. Our hope is that after dealing with some structural, financial and personal issues we will be back again in 2020.
We greatly appreciate all the support we have received over the years in making locally sourced food a reality for our community members. Having the direct support of people in the Santa Cruz area has enabled us to provide a wider variety of produce than would have otherwise been possible.
It has been a great and long run but it’s time for some changes. We know this may come as a shock to some of you, especially those of you who have relied on us over the last 30+ years.
We are confident that the slack can be taken up by others in the farming community as there are some exciting and energizing things evolving around the local and sustainable agriculture community in our area. We hope to remain a part of it and to return in 2020. Please sign up for our eNewsletter and Farm Dinner informational email (two separate sign ups) to hear about future plans.
Hope you all have a great New Year!!!
