Happy New Year! I hope everyone has resolved to eat fresh local produce this year, because Laguna Farm loves to share the abundance with you. Over the holiday break we all took a few days off but also worked on a few pending projects as well. First off, we cleaned out, scrubbed up and painted the walk-in cooler. It was getting a little grungy. You will notice on the farm, the inside of the walk-in has been painted a beautiful blue. This time was also used to organize some systems on the farm. We are working on having better communication with our members with a new member packet, business cards with our store hours listed, and a revamping of the bulletin board in the breezeway. In addition, we want to tighten some of the gaps that money spills through. By adopting the policy of other Straus milk retailers of charging a $1.50 deposit on bottles, we staved off a price increase on all dairy items. Those of you who purchase dairy from the farm can read about the new system below. Our focus for this next year is bringing new members to the farm while retaining the members we have. Please know that we would love your ideas and suggestions in all matters of the farm. The experience of our members is the most valuable guide.
Be Well,
Jennifer Branham
In Your Box This Week: From the Certified Naturally Grown fields of Laguna Farm, our “Naturally Grown” salad mix, saute’ mix, potatoes, turnips, bok choy, red kabocha squash or delicata squash, and Satsuma Mandarins from our friends at Natural Trading Company in the Sierra Foothills.
We are pretty proud of the fact that $15.75 of this January CSA box is from Laguna Farm. We added the Satsuma to give you the full value of the CSA.
Andrew and Coco are parents!: Farm bunnies Andrew and Coco welcomed four baby bunnies on December 23rd. This was quite a surprise as attempts at parenthood have failed in the past. We noticed a beautiful fur-lined nest, peeked in, and behold… bunnies! There was one “runt” and as usual, the little runtlet failed to thrive and after visiting this earth passed on to a special place where many runts go. So now we have three and they are all healthy with eyes opening and bodies hopping already. Andrew is at Jennifer’s house and will return to the farm once the babies are independent and Coco is “fixed”.
Milk Bottle Deposits: As is the custom with all retailers of Straus Milk, Laguna Farm is now charging a $1.50 deposit on all milk bottles. Deposits will be collected via your online purchase or through the store. To redeem your $1.50, please come to the farm during store hours or feel free to turn your bottles in (for redemption) at any participating retailer. These retailers include: Andy’s Market, Whole Foods, Pacific Market, Oliver’s Market and Bills Farm Basket. This policy ensures that Laguna Farm never suffers the loss of milk deposits. Thank you for your understanding
