It wasn't quite the style of rain we prayed for but we're still thankful to the Creator for sending it to the field. And now we're praying it lets up soon for our communities' safety! We #LoveSLO so we #FarmSLO to #FeedSLO #UntoTheLeastOfUs

Sometimes we all need a little humor to end the week. #UntoTheLeastOfUs

On the Central Coast, it's sometimes easy to forget what seasons are and when they begin. But Spring will be here soon and that means planting season! #UntoTheLeastOfUs #SpringIsComing

Ever wonder who designs and writes all these posts and the newsletter and the website? On this #BoardMemberMonday, meet Jen Smith our Communications Director and Brand Manager. Jen's job is making sure everyone is in the loop on what's going on at the farm and to make sure that all communications are consistent and recognizable. You can read her full "Why I Farm" statement on our website: https://www.firstfruitsslo.org/branding-communications... #UntoTheLeastOfUs

May we return to safely feasting together by the end of 2021! #UntoTheLeastOfUs

It's not all fundraising and poetry reading! The farm ops team has been out at the field nearly every day keeping our irrigation lines clean and observing the cover crop growth to move the sprinklers. We look forward to the rains that will hopefully take over the job and prepare the field for spring planting! #RestorationSeason #FarmCare #UntoTheLeastOfUs
