For late July – cucumbers are happening! Juicy, mild and thin-skinned

Persian cukes are coming in strong as well as lemon cukes and Armenian;

some long Japanese and Serpent too. Red tomatoes are ripening and many

other types /colors on the plants. Surprisingly, a few melons are coming

in! There are several types of beautiful eggplant and the on-going

abundance of zucchini and pattypans, both in 3 colors. Our wonderful old

Red Gravenstein apple tree is ripe and there is plenty of basil, green

onions, kale and limited quantities of carrots, beets, strawberries and

fresh cut flowers. We’ll start digging potatoes for Aug. 1.

Hope to see you soon! Stay well,

Wendy

Farm History:

Chiatri de Laguna, formerly Chiatri USA and Grossi Egg Ranch, was founded in the mid 1940’s by Dino & Thelma Grossi, who grew up in this neighborhood. They built an egg ranch, raised most of their own food and a family. They were Farm Trails members and sold eggs and produce on site for many years. Our goal is to honor this legacy by creating a place of beauty and abundance, to serve the community and be a “hamlet” as is Chiatri in Italy. Starting July 11: Farmstand open on Saturdays 10 am to 2 pm, or by appointment.
