Our New CSA



Despite a longer drive for pickup, we've changed our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) to the wonderful South Coast Farms in San Juan Capistrano. We love so many things about this place - the beautiful bushel baskets of fresh local fruits and veggies (and sometimes, even flowers!); the wide variety of offerings; the friendly staff; and its location next door to The Ecology Center. And best of all, they are 100% certified organic.  

We participate in the bi-weekly program, and so every other Wednesday we make the trek to the farm to pick up our basket.  Yesterday's bounty was Chard, Red Leaf Lettuce, Cilantro, Yellow Onion, Navel Oranges, , Pink Lady Apples, Arugula, Turnips, Parsley, Beets, Black Kale, Collard Greens, Romaine Lettuce, Potatoes, Kiwi, Grapefruit, Carrots, Pears and Spinach.  Not bad for the middle of winter!
