We decided to set aside farmer's market earnings for ten new fruit trees.   Our plan is to dedicate these trees to future farmers- from family kids to those we meet through the market. 

The first tree planted is for Wyatt Dean Sandoval, who is just a little younger than the Parfianka Pomegranate I planted earlier this week.  Wyatt's parents are Andy and Jessica Sandoval and they live in Glendale Arizona.  Andy is the son of my brother- Dan Sandoval.  We aren't sure Wyatt knows what a Parfianka Pomegranate tastes like....but we are certain his parents do!

Here is a picture of Wyatt and his new tree (guarded faithfully by Max).  Stay tuned for more- Wyatt's brother, Michael, has a Braeburn Apple headed our way.

We launched this website earlier in the week and are feverishly finalizing preparations for our debut at the Murrieta Certified Farmer's Market tomorrow.  We are taking berries, several types of jam, zucchini squash, and Anaheim peppers. 

Plenty of help to get us to this day (a tip of the hat to Mother Nature, the property itself, helpful neighbors and grandkids) that went with a few minor detractors (gophers and some bureaucracy to navigate) but ultimately- the plants worked with the bees to give us product that we are proud to share.

Sharing our experiences is what we intend to use this blog for.  These are new and exciting times and we hope you enjoy and offer your recommendations as we gratefully make this little piece of heaven in Chihuahua Valley CA a place that is as special to you as it is to Tina and I.
