MOUNTAIN BOUNTY FARM NEWS
Week 17/52 of 2021
Greetings Farm Friends,
This week brings some much-needed rain to the foothills! With the last few weeks of hot and dry weather, we've begun our usual musings around how quickly spring escapes us. Northern California has received half our normal precipitation this year and we're entering the fourth driest year on record. While climate change is real and affecting so many aspects of our lives, we're focusing on the little joys this week. We'll be harvesting the first of the spring crops that we direct seeded at the end of March. First up, Mountain Bounty Arugula! A delicious and spicy treat. And many more spring goodies to come soon. Here's to hoping you enjoy the rains respite and find the little joys this week.
