Farewell to Pipi
We now have three backyard chickens here at home. Until very recently, we had four. Pipi (pronounced pee-pee) is no longer with us, and good riddance! You might think of us as cold-hearted and uncaring for saying so, but we are really just bad farmers. We ...
Sunday Morning Spiritual
Sunday is my new favorite day! We wake up, put on our best clothes (in Santa Cruz this means a pair of jeans with flip-flops and a clean t-shirt with or without sleeves), grab our cloth bags, and walk down the street to our local farmers' market. The ...
What Became of Us...
Well, maybe a few of you folks are wondering what happened to the dashing duo, Guillermo and Amber. Did they arrive in Austin safely? Have they made it back to California? Were they happy with their trip? Did they learn anything new from it? Has anything ...
Laughing Sheep Farm
Our final farm visit for this round of Bike2Barn occurred in Lincoln, NM at Laughing Sheep Farms. Sally, third generation owner, has a successful country store, restaurant, and farm, all using farm-raised and grass-fed beef, elk, buffalo, lamb, and pork ...

HoofsnHorns Farm
The desert of Arizona has a jewel, an animal utopia named HoofsnHorns. It is a sanctuary, right outside of Tucson, for animals who have been abandoned in the desert, are in need of some serious TLC, or who were headed to the slaughterhouse. Their savior ...
Pato's Dream Date Gardens
Where do I even begin? I guess the beginning is always a good place... We drove down, down, down the Vallecito Mountains, entering the hot, dry weather of the Anza-Borrego desert. The ride was spectacular, with amazing vistas on the way down the windy, ...
Beck Grove
What luck we had! We called Helene and Robert Beck, searching intently for their farm, Beck Grove, at which we intended to drop in on an unannounced visit, and caught them just as they were leaving for a movie. One of the first things out of Helene's ...
LA to Fallbrook - McManigle Grove
We're sitting at an old diner in Blythe, close to the Colorado river, which we are soon to cross on our way to Tucson, Arizona. We said goodbye to Doug Adair at Pato's Dream Date Gardens this morning, and headed towards the Chocolate Mountains in the ...
Vital Zuman Sustainable Farm
The adventures continue, and the ride to Malibu to visit Vital Zuman Farms was no exception. A little about how Guillermo uses his motorcycle: he reset the trip odometer every time we fill the gas tank, so we know exactly how many miles we can go before ...

Re: Earth to Table
We are very sad to hear about the lack of support for "Earth to Table", Cheryl offers such a beautiful variety of produce. It is so important that we support this kind of commitment from our small organic farmers, they are truly the most ...
