Just Like The Old Days

Lemonade anyone?

The Farmstand is Open

This past weekend was the opening of The Oakville Grocery Farmstand. It was a wonderful first weekend. We are now serving ice cold beer on tap, and are also offering Fresh Homemade Lemonade in three different flavors. Meyer Lemon, Strawberry and Tangerine. The Cherries and Strawberries are sweeter than ever this year. The Farmstand is opened Friday through Sunday from 10:00am-6:00pm. Come and see the new remodeled Oakville Grocery too. They have created several new delicious sandwiches and the store looks amazing. Pictured above is Danny, our newest member to The Farmstand, myself and of course Farmer Omar.

Does it get any better than this

The Crew

You haven't seen hard work until you have seen these guys work for just a day. It's amazing. From left to right we have, Omar, Isaiah (Omar's middle son, who will be graduating high school this June) Jason, Omar's right hand man, and Miguel.

They look like the ducks you would see in a cartoon on television.

Duck, duck, Goose!

The baby ducks have arrived! They are just the cutest things.

And a Chirp Chirp Here.....

Spring has sprung! All the baby chicks have arrived. Omar flew to a small farm in Kansas this past Friday to pick up 100 babies and make sure they flew first class (well, not really) back home to California. The next day 225 Rhode Island Red Chicks and 100 Poults also arrived through The Post Office. So, everyone at the farm is on baby chick watch for the next several weeks now. I have to thank Jason for taking pictures of all the activity when I can't make it up to the farm myself.

Well Hello There

Flying High on American Airlines

Packed and ready to go.

I Thought I saw a Kitty Cat!

This little guy looks either startled or very laid back.

Bambi and the Pigs

If you look closely, you can see the baby pigs in the back of the truck.

Bambi's First Steps

Bambi

Yesterday as Omar and Jason were on their way back up to the farm, they spotted a fawn on the side of the road, only a few hours old, still trying to stand up on her own. They pulled over and waited for the mama to return. With no sign of the mother returning, they scooped the baby up and brought her to the farm along with the 5 new baby pigs already in the back of the truck. The fed her milk and later on that day delivered her to a rescue sheltor. These two guys are my new heros! Life on the farm is always new and beautiful.
