We had our first harvest for Bon Appetit this morning! We are selling with Steve who is an established Farm to Fork vendor. He captured our first harvest of spinach and butterhead lettuce and our drop off at Intel with the talented (and funny) chefs Micah and Jesus. Micah is also a CSA subscriber, very cool, and all around big fan of Steve (as are we!).Since we are farming by the seat of our overalls... we are working on our succession planting and planning, but we've got a ways to go in this department to catch up with the opportunity. We've got greens coming on for a few weeks and more in the works and then there are all those tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, edamame, (Neil's cantaloupe project..), assorted veggies, flowers and herbs. It would be really great to get a steady supply of produce going out locally year-round, while also making and selling our own concoctions of teas and other products locally and beyond. It seems like the numbers can work in the future, through some serious planning and more continued hard work. We've talked about possibly partnering with Steve and Mishelle on the restaurant produce in the future. Lots of possibilities. Modest as our sale was today, it was thrilling to have produce to sell and a person to sell it to. Our sincere gratitude to Steve for his energy and excitement about farming and his generosity in helping us get started. Thank you!!
