Pop up, Pickle Workshop, Volunteer dates, and last call for board member applications!

What a great turn out we had on our first day of Spring volunteering. You all rocked it, the Farmstand looks amazing. All ready for our pop up (deets below). Special thanks to our Volunteer Coordinator C.J. for taking care of everything, we are so grateful to have her as a leader on our farm and in our community. 

Even if you didn't make it to the orientation or the first day of volunteering we still welcome you. Volunteer opportunity is the 2nd Saturday of the month from 8-11. What to expect is posted here. 

We are so grateful to be part of the Long Beach community for 10 years! Hope to see you on the farm soon.

Join us on the farm Feb 29th for 2 different events. Eugene from Baryo will be popping up in the Farmstand serving brunch dishes from 10-2. This is not ticketed and food is for sale until he sells out. We will be providing him with loads of produce from the farm and he will also be selling small batch pantry items. This is a great chance for you to support a local up and coming chef as well and eat delicious food from the farm. 30% of sales go back to the farm supporting local agriculture. 

Also happening on Feb 29th starting at 11 is a Pickle Making Workshop. This is a pre-sale ticketed event and will be happening down on the farm. 

Quick "refrigerator pickles" are one of the easiest ways to add more pop and pizzazz to your everyday meals. From tart and tangy pickled red onions to crisp and crunchy carrot-jalapeno pickles, participants will learn the basic method to make refrigerator pickles out of most veggies. You will make and take home 2 pint jars of vinegar-based refrigerator pickles. All equipment, ingredients, and recipes will be provided. Basic knife skills and different methods of pickling and preserving will be discussed.

We have had some amazing applications to join our Board of Directors. We are reaching back out to all of you. If you haven't heard from us yet we are working to connect with you. If you are interested in applying, applications are still live until March 2nd. We encourage you to reach out. 

The collective WE finally got power to the farm! With the electricity we are able to increase security, safety, expand programming, work more efficiently and offer more to all you wonderful people. 

Consider donating to the farm for fridge, spotlight and security camera equipment.
