Can't believe we're already approaching the 3rd week of June! So many crops are finally ready to harvest. This week we're offering you all broccoli, escarole, fennel, parsley, and carrots too.. more coming next week...Remember you can always swap out what you don't like and snag extras if you need to. For certain things there are enough for all and others we'll have to offer for about a 3rd of you each week. The potatoes are imminent, but the skins are still too delicate to harvest with our harvester without damaging them too much... Coming soon- basil, cucumbers, cauliflower, and potatoes. What else are we up to here? Well the Dry Beans are all up as are the Winter Squash and they're being cultivated as I write this. We're thinning the apples (usually the first apples are ready in July so some of them are already starting to get pretty big). Next it's time to summer prune the fruit trees once the thinning is done.

About the farm
Fifth Crow Farm is a dynamic and diversified organic farm in Pescadero, CA. Founded in 2008 with a shoestring budget, a supportive local community, and ambitious dreams, we strive to bring eaters the highest quality, best tasting, and most nutritious food possible while creating a healthy, fulfilling, and fair work environment. We are situated in the Cloverdale Valley, 45 miles from San Francisco and 35 miles from Santa Cruz. We operate on 150 acres: 60 acres of row crops, about 5 acres of cut flowers, and a 35 variety apple orchard, a pear orchard, and a pastured egg operation consisting of 2 flocks of 350 beautiful ladies – all heritage breeds. We are committed to building an agriculture that is economically viable, socially just, and ecologically sound. To us this means stewarding our land in a way that not only respects but improves habitat for wildlife and builds better soil for future farmers. We are certified organic by CCOF and Animal Welfare Approved.
