Poway Farmers Market

This is Anthony Maciel. He is a third generation Southern California veteran farmer. His family grew flowers and vegetables in Compton California in the 1960s a...nd early 1970s before moving the family farm to Bonsall. I met Anthony when I was technically still a gardener one summer night at the pacific beach farmers market about three years ago. We quickly became friends. He invited me to see his farm in Bonsall and on that very same day he introduced me to an older woman named Ouida who lived across the street. She had a large 1 &1/2 acre lot behind her home that she wanted to see cultivated. The opportunity to farm that kind of space with limited know how and resources was very intimidating. I had little to no working capital and didn’t even own a tractor. Anthony assured me that if I took the opportunity he would guide me every step of the way and help me prepare the land with his tractor for planting. I could see in him a strong desire to pass on his extensive knowledge of farming to me and for me to continue his legacy. Anthony was never afraid to devote his time and energy. For all the times I needed a hand, he was always there. He would always be there to cheer me up and we would crack jokes if I was having a hard day or Mother Nature was working against me. If I had a crisis on the farm with my tractor, or a broken water pipe when the sun was going down on harvest day before the farmers market, he was always there to make sure I learned how to get through it. Today, He’s reached a point where farming just ain’t in him anymore and is ready for a new chapter in his life. Knowing Anthony, and all the hardships of farm life he endured over the past 50 years, has been nothing short of an inspiration to me. He told me I would struggle but he was so sure I could do it. It’s truly because of you that this child hood dream of being a farmer manifested. Thank you Anthony for everything, your friendship and for believing in me. Looking forward to visiting you and the wife in New England! See more

The A of CSA stands for Agriculture We are blessed to live in San Diego, land of beaches, sunsets, and small ag. Small, local agriculture benefits greatly fr...om local support. Local ag not only feeds our local community, but also supports the country's food system. Any disruptions to the country’s food system affects local growers. With local support, they are more able to weather adversity and keep our local community well-fed. Some fun facts about agriculture in San Diego: out of 3000 counties, San Diego has the 19th largest farm economy; it has more small farms than any other county in the country; it's the #1 producer of avocados, #5 producer of lemons, and #9 producer of strawberries in the nation. We've been growing organic produce for the local community since 1986. We are a 5 generation family farm. We are dedicated to our community, and we need and appreciate your support. Thank you for your ongoing support of local organic agriculture.

Did you know? Broccoli fun facts: 1. Broccoli is an excellent source of protein. As a percentage of calories, protein / total calories, or measured in grams of ...protein versus 100 calories, broccoli has more protein than beef! 2. Broccoli provides a healthy dose of calcium, without any animal protein or lactose. 3. It contains a substance called sulforaphane which helps kill viruses and even fights cancer. Most produce we grow have amazing fun facts like this. We will keep sharing them with you!

In the Greenhouse. Growing healthy plants from seed is a challenge; in fact, many farmers outsource this part of farming. At JR Organics, we do it ourselves in ...order to ensure the highest quality standards. What you get from us is organic from seed to market - no compromises. Of course this takes time and care. Pictured here you see the beginning of our summer crops. We are getting them ready for you early. You can expect cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, and more summer delights from us as early as March! #jrorganics #jrorganicsfarm #certifiedorganic #ccoforganic #familyownedandoperated #organicproducedelivery #CSAfarm #escondidoca #seasonality #sourcelocal #greenhouse

Can you name this plant? Hint: this is what it looks like at JR Organics right now.

Row upon row of Super Sweet Sugar Snap Peas! Monday's rains signaled the end of summer crops and the beginning of the winter season. These snap peas are among ...the sweetest of winter vegetables.

Many people ask, "What's organic anyway?" After all, all living organisms are organic. So what does it mean to be organically farmed? It essentially means that ...we use natural fertilizers (not chemicals), natural weed control (not chemical herbicides), and natural pest control (not pesticides). More to come on each of these. The bottom line is that you can rest assured that the produce grown at J R Organics is free of chemicals and richer in vitamins, minerals and flavor than most vegetables, herbs and fruits you could obtain anywhere else. #jrorganics #jrorganicsfarm #certifiedorganic #ccoforganic #familyownedandoperated #organicproducedelivery #CSAfarm #escondidoca

Happy New Year ! We will be open tomorrow, January 2nd. 8-1

Teriyaki Broccoli - we cant stop making this! If you have a bottle of teriyaki sauce laying around it makes for a much quicker turnaround time but we are, by na...ture, scratch cooks! Swipe to see how we served it What you’ll need: 1 medium head of broccoli, cut into chunks 3 garlic cloves, minced 3-4 tbsp soy sauce 1/2 tbsp brown sugar 1 tbsp honey salt and pepper Optional: Sesame seeds Optional: Red Chili Flakes Instructions: Add 1/3 cup of water to a skillet, bring to a steady simmer. Add chunks of broccoli, season with salt, and cover. Steam for 5 minutes, then drain. In the same pan, add a small amount of butter or oil and sauté garlic for about one minute. Add soy sauce, sugar, and honey. Stir until combined and sugar is dissolved. Cook for 5-7 minutes. If sauce starts to cook too fast, add a splash of water or vegetable stock. Once sauce reaches a honey-like consistency, add broccoli back to the pan and toss. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chili flake if desired. Serve immediately! Our broccoli fields are booming, so expect broccoli in your CSA box in the coming weeks, or stop by the farmers market to scoop some up!
