BFF's


Our neighbors had a baby pig show up in their yard. They were never able to figure out where it came from, so it stayed.

Now it is a great big pig and thinks it is a horse... it's name is Pig. Best Friends Forever!

Broccoli at Sunrise


The early morning sun poked over the hill to shed its rays on all the little Broccoli plants that are only a few weeks old. This is the "Arroyo" of Arroyo Grande and is at sea level. The soil is rich and dark and we have seen it flooded a couple of time from heavy rain in the 14 years we have lived here.

These fields are in constant production and they average four crops each year. Plow, plant, harvest... over and over, and over again. They rotate crops between broccoli, celery, cabbage, bok choy and many different kinds of lettuce. I can't remember these fields laying fallow. Well, maybe when they were flooded, but only until they were dry enough to plow!
