OUR DROUGHT RESPONSIBILITY PROJECT
Our products are dictated by Mother Nature and the ever changing seasons...Here in California, our local farms have to adjust their environment with water shortages and keep conservation at the forefront of production.....We are taking this consideration into our new Drought Responsibility Product line using fruits and vegetables that are either dry farmed or drought tolerant .
We have partnered up with Jacob's Heart and will be donating a % of sales to this amazing local foundation.
We have Point of Sale cards to help spread the word..
To help educate yourself more...here is an amazing article written by our friends at CUESA - 10 Tips for Drought-Friendly Eating
SMOKIN' PADRON JAM
We have another partnership with this beauty...We get all of our Organic Padron peppers from The Homeless Garden Project which offers job skills and a sense of community to its trainees to help them exit homelessness. These peppers are also grown in accordance to Dry Farmed practices.
TART 'N SPICY TOMATO JELLY
We use Organic Dry Farmed Tomatoes from a plethora of farms in the coastal area...one of our favorites is Serendipity Farms in Carmel Valley...YUM!
The rains are finally here and filling our very low reservoirs. Our Drought Responsibility Project is one that will not go away with the increasing rains. Our project is not just about rainfall, its about understanding what is needed to make our food grow.
The fruit needs water to produce its sweetness...just how much water is consumed by the fruit is the cost bearer for the farmer. Using products that need little to no water to grow helps everyone...
New Flavor!
Prickly Purple Heart Jam
We are excited to announce our new flavor to the Drought Responsible Family. Prickly Purple Heart Jam encompasses the most widely available fruit that needs no additional water to grow.
SALTED WATERMELON JELLY
It's amazing that such a water bearing fruit can be grown without any added water! If dry farmed correctly, the fruit relies on the groundwater for its survival. Read this article for in depth information on Dry Farming which dates back thousands of years.
FIG & FENNEL JAM
The UN-thirsty fruit tree! WE use dried figs from the San Joaquin Valley that are grown under Dry Farmed conditions.
