Our second annual Blossom Festival was a big success, with good weather and great “bee” talks by our honeybee beekeeper, Alan Hawkins, and our native bee specialist, Marissa Ponder from UC Berkeley.

Things are really moving now…. We’re actually seeing fruit on some early varieties! The Apache apricots have fruit, as do the Honey Rich apriums. And our newest addition to early harvest varieties is the Super Zee peach, which also already has fruit.
It is a beautiful day here on the farm. To the west is Mt. Diablo, covered in snow and towering 4500 feet over the vast central valley.
Farmer Al, Becky, and Family are all taking a much deserved vacation this week. Farmer Al’s newsletter will be back next week, meanwhile I have some CSA updates for you.
