This week...
Avocado Honey is BACK! our bees normally make our Tropical Fruit honey in late winter/early spring, when the lychee, longan, and avocado trees are all blooming. But every few years, when the lychee and longan trees don't bloom, the avocado blooms stand alone. In such a year (like this year), the bees make rich, delicious avocado honey, which reminds me of sweet molasses without any bitter overtones. Be sure to score some of this amazing honey this season, because we never know just how long it will be before they make it again.
Ciruela Craze! Joyous Jocote!
Mango Madness has arrived,

Our eggs have twice been awarded their highest 5-egg rating by the Cornucopia Institute's Egg Scorecard. Come see what the fuss is all about.
Eggs are versatile, nutritious, and a great source of inexpensive quality protein - where else can you get a serving of quality protein (2 eggs) for less than $1.50?
Bake a simple quiche/pie with a 1/2 bunch of kale, a pack of eggs, yogurt, and your favorite cheese, in a whole wheat crust. Season with fresh herbs, and optionally add chopped ham, bacon, or sausage for a great main dish, or cut into cubes for delicious party snacks.
