Hi Everyone,

As most of you are aware the Tierra Pacifica farm is a beautiful working farm dedicated to producing fresh and organic produce for TP and the greater community. If you have not toured the farm recently I would highly recommend it during your next visit.

One of the many reasons Kim and I chose to buy into TP was this diverse resource. I like the idea of having fresh sustainable produce on my table.

Recently, I was invited to take a farm tour. The farm has created a unique blend of natural bird habitat via seasonal ponds as well as traditional and experimental agricultural techniques. I am impressed with the time, knowledge and capital investment put forth by all the folks that run and contribute to the farm.

One of the items discussed during the farm tour was creating a connection between our community and the farm. Not knowing the many complexities of the farm at this point I thought my contribution could be this connection…a liaison of sorts.

My plan is to work with Elias, our farm manager, regarding available seasonal fruits, vegetables, and ornamentals and post them on a white board at the TP community center at regular intervals. This will give TP owners an opportunity to regularly visit the farm and pick up what they need.

Another goal is to create a list with pictures and pricing of available ornamentals and edibles with their applications and uses as they pertain to your lot.

In addition, I will continue posting farm news and available items at the farm on this blog to give you something to look forward to during your next visit.

Lastly, I would invite all interested owners in participating with thoughts, ideas and questions.
