Strawberrys and Eggs



The month of May has indicated that the warm season is upon us. True growth in production on Marin's Organic farms has come after many long month of rain replenishing the soil. This year's heavy rains has giving the regions crop production a delay but with the emergence of food such as Strawberries, Green Garlic, many new lettuces such as Romaine Hearts and Curly Frisee, and much more to come, a plentiful and abundant season is to follow.

A few of the recent School Lunch Program favorites include Strawberries from County Line Harvest, and newly certified Organic Free-Range Chicken Eggs from Redhill Farm. (Photos above by Sarah Arndt)

Support healthy school lunch and Marin Organic by becoming a friend in our work. Enjoy the spring and summer crops as they slowly emerge into the markets and out of their dormant state like hibernating animals.
