FIELD NOTES
This week I put together a little video about what we've been dealing with in terms of our crop health and the weather. It's a little lengthy, but please give it watch. There is a lot of information here and may help bring a little awareness you may not find in your local grocery store, a good "behind the scenes" if you will.

Owner Harrison Bardwell

DID YOU KNOW: Potatoes
Gold Rush miners in the 1800’s prized the potato because it prevented scurvy.  Miners traded gold for the precious potato ounce for ounce, and for good reason.  One medium potato contains 30% of the adult recommended amount of Vitamin C, the vitamin the body needs to prevent scurvy!
