As Spring creeps into Tehachapi with wind and snow and fog and clouds and sprinkles of precipitation also slowly creeping its way to life has been the crop of spring greens. Our first cutting of arugula was on Wednesday and this weekend will be another harvest of the first of the spring crop at Tangleweed. Lovingly protected beneath row covers that try to blow away with every constant wind we endure, these first spring crops are so precious as we have waited so long to our locally grown, optimally fresh and flavorful produce to return to the farm and garden. Please do come and enjoy, but realize the supplies will be limited as it is still early. The more sun and warmth, the more lettuce, arugula, spinach for all!
A few stems of tulips will be available this weekend too….
Lettuce? It does not hurt to check and see if you can get your hands on some…it is optimal “baby” size now.
Thank you for your continued support and looking forward to another wonderful season!
We want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a very blessed New Year.
