MOUNTAIN BOUNTY FARM NEWS
Week 32/52 of 2021
Dear Farm Members,
This past week brought with it another all-too-real reminder of the harsh realities of fire season in the sierra foothills. Fire is such a powerful force of nature, and we are painfully aware of just how quickly and easily it can take everything from us. Our hearts go out to the community members, friends, and fellow farmers displaced by the River Fire, and to the many fire-fighters and first responders who continue to battle the blaze. We’re all thinking of you!
Our crew has been doing an awesome job navigating the ever-present challenges associated with this time of year, dealing with heat-waves, smoke, drought, and fire pressure. It’s an honor to grow food with such an incredible community of folks, and we’re grateful for it! We’ve been doing our best to stay out of the smoke when possible, and have our respirators at the ready just in case. Let’s hope, for all of our sakes, that this next week offers some relief from any further fire and brimstone. Stay safe out there everyone!
