Lots of us secretly (or not so secretly) have a goal to work more organic greens into our regular routines – no matter how much we already eat. Is that you? But, you know, routines. We all get settled into our regulars. It can be tough to change a routine or start a new one. […]
Where were you in July of 1984? Maybe you weren’t yet a glimmer in your parents’ eyes. Or were you in school? Were you married with kids? Picture yourself as a young adult who grew up in the city, who hadn’t really given a ton of thought to how food is produced. But with your […]
At our Carmel Valley Farm Stand, we grow everything organically – from the original heirloom raspberries to all the veggies in the kitchen garden to fresh herbs to flowers.

If you’re like a majority of your fellow Americans, climate change is something you’re concerned about. And whether you know it or not, all that delicious, fresh, healthy organic produce you put into your shopping cart (whether online or in-store) is helping fight climate change. Well…at least the dirt it’s grown in is. See, it’s […]
Nerdy farming stuff ahead…proceed at your own risk. We often say that organic farming is farming “in harmony with nature.” That’s true.
