Mi Tierra Organics E-mail List

Hello to all you organic food enthusiasts!

This past Saturday we joined the wonderful people of Los Pargos and set up a table at the farmers market. We wanted to give a trial run on local organic produce with the “Mi Tierra” brand name. Tom, Elias, and Casey worked together to gather a plethora of items such as okra, Chinese green beans, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, zucchini, fresh cut basil, and a basket of limes. We sold out on the green beans before we finished setting up. And yup…..you guessed it…we sold out on all the fruits and vegetables and sold several potted plants as well. The lesson we learned is that we should have taken a bunch of Chinese green beans for ourselves before we started setting up. The other lesson of value is that there is an obvious demand for fresh local organic produce.

The good news is Elias and Ever at Tierra Pacifica, and Tom and Casey at Pueblo Verde are tirelessly working on growing more produce, finding new and interesting varieties and utilizing proven growing techniques while experimenting with succession planting to bring us the best quality produce throughout the year.

As an easy way for all to be aware of available fresh offerings is to sign up on our organic produce availability email list. If you are interested please shoot us an email at mitierraorganics@gmail.com and we’ll put you on the list!

Pick up is easy. Harvest normally will be on Mondays and Thursdays for a Tuesday or Friday pickup. We’ll send out a group email when produce is harvested. You can place an order or just visit the Mi Tierra Vivero at Pueblo Verde just outside Paraiso on the way to Santa Cruz and pick up what you need. Also, once production numbers grow we will be offering our organics at the Junquillal Super Mercado. Look for the “Mi Tierra” name and logo above the veggie/fruit bins.

For Tierra Pacifica owners I will keep you posted on all the upcoming produce via this blog and the white board at the community center where we will have a self serve fruit and vegetable station set up. Take a swim and get your produce……nice!
