A new product we're introducing this
season is Veggie Burrito Wraps. Instead of using tortillas made
out of wheat, these are whole leaves of greens like collards,
lettuces, turnips, etc. Just roll up your filling and you have
a wheat free/grain free/raw tortilla - perfect for people who
are allergic to wheat, those who are on low or no carbohydrate
diets, and for those who prefer raw foods. Soon we'll have recipes
and creative tips on how to use them, and we might even demo them
at the Farmer's Markets in Olympia and Longview.
We provide lots of options on how you can buy from us - you can
become a CSA member, order from our
Click 'n Pick online order form and
pick-up at a convenient location, come and see us at the Farmer's
Markets, or shop at our Farm Stand.
Buying locally is becoming much more popular, and now we're becoming
aware of the importance of producing locally. Since consuming
without producing is not sustainable, what do you think of the
idea of an Annual Small Family Farm Festival and Cottage Industry
Fair? We actually have the perfect farm offering to host the festival,
and a committee is forming to begin organizing it. If you'd like
to be involved, please let us know. How about Southwest Washington
becoming known for it's small family farms, farm festivals, ag-tourism,
it's Farm Stores (where everything sold there is grown, raised
and produced locally - jams, jellies, salsa's, salads, salad dressings,
medicinal herbs and tinctures, wool, and the list goes on and
the Farm Stores would have Community Commercial Kitchens where
the value-added products could be produced). Southwest Washington
could actually become known as the Breadbasket between Seattle
and Portland - the next Marin County.
And last but not least, we formed a non-profit called the Farm
Bank Project to support local small farms, to build and strengthen
our communities, and to grow and give-away organic food into the
community. This is a very exciting project whose time has come
and has many, many ways for you to become involved. Let us know
how you'd like to help restore health and well-being to our communities,
one farm at a time. Actually the farms are the deposits in the
Farm Bank. If you happen to be a graphic artist, or know of one
who would like to help us create the graphics for this project,
we'd love to hear from you.
If you don't buy from our farm, please buy from another local
farm...our food security depends upon it.
Enjoy the Spring,
