Community Supported Agriculture in ACTION!!! Pleasants Valley Agriculture Association: Day 1 of our SOW BEAUTIFUL native wildflower seed-spreading project is in the books!! We can’t wait until the spring when Pleasants Valley is filled with wildflowers!! If you would like us to plant native wildflower seeds on your property which helps provide food for pollinators and helps with erosion control, send us a message. It is no cost to you and we coordinate the volunteers. Thank you to @solanorcd for the seeds and training and thank you to Karen Ford of Pleasants Valley Honey Company (aka #ClaysBees) for coordinating`

Sunday morning inspiration. Drying flowers is one of the most satisfying projects on the farm. When the small plot of flowers is bursting there’s no since of rushing or stress that I’m losing blooms. Instead what we don’t sell we’re harvesting and tying up to dry. . We have a small shingle shed we use and when that’s full we hang them outside on old wire fencing or inside our barn . Looking at flowers as they change and deepen their color or fade and keep their shape is... a whole new level of beauty. . Each fall quiet hours are spent making wreaths with dried peonies or zinnias , yarrow or roses. working on the creative inner self to fuel new ideas . The farm continues to move its spirit through me and I am compelled to keep on. Even after fires,droughts, and floods everything here still fills me up. . . We sell our wreaths direct from the farm and on December 12 @sweetpeasvacaville Christmas craft fair. I haven’t figured out how to ship them yet but I will ! .

"Not only are companies not required to use on-package labels, but they can use QR codes instead. As the Center for Food Safety has long argued, QR codes are inherently discriminatory to the elderly, poor, rural and minorities. And if companies do use an on-package label, it must use the phrase bioengineered food, a term not commonly used or understood by consumers." https://www.cornucopia.org//usdas-gmo-labeling-law-is-a-/
