Satsumas & Pie

It was a truly wonderful weekend on the farm: 72 and sunny every day. The Narcissus are in bloom, and all of the spring bulbs are pushing.

We moved our 2 week old ducks out to their coop. They had outgrown the brooder we had set up in our living room. They are too small to turn out unattended on account of the cats and hawks, but we take them out to graze every day.

Yesterday they joined us on the Citrus Slope, as we harvested 450# of Owari Satsuma mandarins for New Leaf Community Markets. They are currently available at their Westside and Capitola locations.

Today we made a pie with pumpkins from our stash and ate it with The Penny's riff on our kiwis. It is divine, as is the Meyer Lemon Poppyseed made with our lemons that's also currently available! Yuzu and Owari Satsuma flavors coming soon...
