With the U-Pick garden up and running we have had many daily visits from supporting neighbors and friends gathering up big baskets of our fresh and tasty goodness grown with love. The garden resembles a rainbow of mouth watering delight with tons of bright leafy green lettuce, zukes and cukes bulging deep purple eggplant and onions, bright blue broccoli, and soon to be juicy red tomatoes! Now that the the garden is flourishing we will be hauling the goods to the Saturday Farmers Market, alternating between Lakeview (where we'll be this Saturday) and Cedarville each week. Meet us there to peruse the produce and chat about our Organic methods.
Sue, Natalie, and Micaela goofing around at last week's Farmer's Market in Cedarville.
This week has also been filled with "hello's" and "fare thee Wells" as Locavore Farm has received 4 new WWOOFers, just a few days shy of sending off our good friend Phoenix and his amazing mutt Abbey to venture onward. The new arrivals consist of Noah & Micaela visiting us from the East coast, as well as Joey & Libby coming up from the Bay Area to help out with the daily grind of weeding, planting, committing aphid homicide and dreaming up many exciting projects for the farm. As of today the new Chook house is drawn up and being pieced together, while a railing for the stairwell down to the U-Pick garden is also being constructed.

We are all enjoying the pattern of farm life here at Rancho Love Joy Peace. How refreshing to rise with the sun to the song of the babbling creek as it rambles by WWOOFer's Hollow, arriving at the Hornet's Nest to a hearty breakfast, then on to some good solid energy exertion in the mid morning heat (how good it is to break a sweat!), before breaking for a feast of delicious home grown goodness and a rejuvenating nap. Lazy afternoons of cooling off in the creek, strumming guitars and just enjoying the wonderful company of such dynamic and interesting personalities.
Winding down at dusk to the crickets singing their lullaby to the sleepy sun as she dips her head behind the sage brush covered terrain, watching as the stars wink their shining faces overhead. We love to walk across the dirt path to the hot springs by starlight and bathe in the soothing heat, washing away the dust of the day and letting our weary limbs soak in the mystical healing waters while gazing at the heavens and exchanging thoughts and dreams with people who were strangers only days ago but now seem like soul mates. How lucky we all are, how blessed to have such a place in existence, and such good people drawn to the powerful energy of such special land!
