HELLO FARM CART FAM! Welcome to May. What a beautiful weekend we had, loads of perfect sun and long days. Days like those remind me of the beauty of California, full of life - and goodness. Now, although we don’t necessarily have “seasons” like most places.. we do have warmer vs. colder crops. We are very lucky to be able to have A HUGE variety year round in our surrounding land because of our gentle climate (thank you California!). This week we are excited to highlight what we have coming our way in a short few months. It is going to come quick - gear up and soak it in while it lasts!!!

Cucumbers - Pickling, salads, caprese salad, cocktails.. Juice, slice, crunch, or pickle em.

Tomatoes - There are so many delicious varieties of tomatoes, heirloom, early girls, cherry, and MORE. Cook them down into a sauce for pasta, can them for paste, sauce, or a sweet jam. Or, simply slice, toss with olive oil/salt/pepper, and throw them over pasta. Light summer pastas are MY FAVORITE!

Corn - Sweet sweet corn.. the symbol of summer. Sweet, crunchy, and bright. We are so lucky to have fresh organic corn, with worms and all (WE LOVE IT!) Grill it, eat it raw, or cover it in butter. BOOM, summer in your mouth.

Grapes - Crunchy round orbs of joy. Green, red, champagne we love them all. The perfect snack for all day long at the beach. Stick them in the freezer for a mid day pick me up.

Cherries - Cherry season always comes and goes real quick, but it is oh so sweet when it is here.
