Just a quick drive-by posting to say that anyone in the Santa Cruz area who shops at New Leaf: please go today. 5% of the sales will go to the UCSC Friends of the Farm & Garden. Representatives from the Board of Directors and other Friends will be at all the stores, countywide, with groovy things like seed packets, information, and (ta-da!) my 2008 farmers market calendars. $1 of each calendar sale goes to the Friends of the Farm & Garden, so today's the day!
Thought for the day: "At the UC Santa Cruz Farm & Garden, students, apprentices, staff, professors, and townsfolk have learned to give more than they take from the soil. They are stewards of our most basic resource." — Louise Cain, Founding Member, Friends of the UCSC Farm & Garden
Thanks for visiting!
Hi Tana -
Thanks for supporting the UCSC Farm! There is not enough praise of that program on the web.
I also want to thank you for your blog. I read it a couple times per week; in fact, you've inspired me to start my own blog - something I would have scoffed at a year ago. Having found like-minded people on the web who appreciate small farms has kept me optimistic while sitting in my office, dreaming of fields of green. That being said, your photos are inspiration in and of themselves! Thank you for sharing.
