Last year so many of you reached out to request assistance for purchase of the Community Supported Agriculture CSA basket. After 7 years of doing this as a volunteer, I needed a break and it was important to let the lead rancher of 12 ranches, Luis Bastida, try out the system on his own. This year both of his kids are out to school so I have agreed to help CSA.
This means, I will take request for delivery (because in San Javier there is limited wifi), and with Luis or for Luis I will make deliveries as I use to your doorstep.
Starting next Tuesday 29th Oct, with a final request date by this Friday please. To order email: Ceci.Fischer2023@gmail.com
First week there will be:
Spinach (from San Javier)
Arugula. (from San Javier)
Zucchini (from Los Dolores)
Russet Potatoes (from ranch close to Pacific)
White crystaline onion (which is sweet) - from San Javier
Green onion - from San Javier
Poblano Pepper (the type used to make chile relleno) - by Pacific.
Green cabbage - Los Dolores and by Pacific
Green Swiss Chard - San Javier, Los Dolores, and Pacific
Orange carrots - San Javier
Roma tomatos (salades) - San Javier, Los Dolores and Pacific
Squash - like you see on the picture - San Javier, Los Dolores
Oranges - San Javier and Pacific
Rosemary - San Javier and Loreto
Tiny orange similar to Kumquats - San Javier
Carmen Island Sea Salt for the 1st delivery - Loreto.
As the season continues there will be: kale, different types of citrus, melons, winter squashes, different chiles, cherrie tomatoes, basil (broad leaf) for making pesto, and cured olives (from me as a gift to thank you for supporting the ranchers).
If this is the first time you are reading about the local produce grown in Loreto, please make sure to thank your neighbors for helping start the local movement. By being interested in good food we have helped to protect our water, our soil, insects and our food. You can now purchase also fresh items from Ricardo Fuerte, from Jorge Magdaleno, and several other groups.
We are honored to have come so far after now 9 years of doing this!
