June welcomes Summer and brings a fruit-heavy harvest. Over the past several weeks, we have already started to welcome back cherries and peaches. Other varieties of stone fruit are on their way to the farmers markets including apricots, nectarines, plums and pluots.

Eat with the seasons!

We’re so excited that after two years of distance learning, our in-person field trips are finally back! We’ve resumed bringing school groups of all ages to local farms and ranches, to spend a day fully immersed in the life of a farmer. We want to make these field trips as accessible as possible. Please join our fundraiser by sponsoring a school group to visit the farm. Donate here: https://aim-bloom.kindful.com/?campaign=1197835
