It was a truly pleasant summer in the Santa Cruz Mountains. After the past few years of scorching sun and fires, foggy mornings were a welcome occurance. Incredible that we made it through without any truly brutal tripple digit heatwaves and without needing to break out the air purifiers once!
In fact, fire season is over... 4.74" of rain have fallen so far this fall. The band-tailed pigeons already migrated, wild turkeys are gathering, and our fruit crops are fat and happy! Lots of varieties are moving: Pineapple guavas, Pindo palm dates, Bearss limes, Australian finger limes, Yuzus, Bergamots, Meyer lemons, Buddha Hand citrons, Tunas (prickly pear cactus fruit), Fuyu persimmons, 'Wonderful' pomegranates and four varieties of Mandarins have gone out the door in the past couple of weeks.
Satsuma mandarins and Hayward kiwis should start hitting stores and restaurants next week. Thank you to all our customers. It is pleasure growing for you!!
