As we face another devastating wildfire season, our thoughts are with our farmers and community impacted by the fires still burning across California. More than 1.3 million acres and 2,000 structures have burned, and thousands of residents have had to evacuate. Several of our farmers evacuated their homes and properties last week, but some have started to return, including Root Down Farm, Fifth Crow Farm, and Blue House Farm, who are planning to be at the farmers market this week.
We’ve gathered some updates from our farmers and resources for how you can help, including donating to the Swanton Berry Farm fundraiser.
