Mac Attack!

Mac is such a cutie, and we've adopted him as our unofficial mascot here at Green String Farm!
When he's on the farm, you can find him hanging in the store or playing out in the fields, and we can't get enough of him! We're so happy to have a him around, always brightening our day and wagging his tail.
​While he's not here everyday, stop by and see if he's around, because puppies make everything better, including vegetable shopping!

We're Nuts about Almonds!

Green String Almonds

​We're almond obsessed these days! Especially since all of our trees are in bloom on Meadowbrook Ranch.

​These trees are farmed without any pesticides, spray, or herbicides, they're hand pruned, and all the almonds are handpicked.

We naturally dry our almonds in the warm Red Bluff, CA sun and then use Fred Cline's grandfather's huller that's about 100 years old! By hulling the almonds we separate the kernel from the outer shell. From there we hand shell all the almonds and put them in bags for you to enjoy! Come by the farm store to try these delicious Meadowbrook Ranch Almonds!

Green String Polenta-get your grind on!

2/4/2018

 
Here's something that we've brought back which has been a huge hit with all of you! Grinding your own polenta from Green String Farm corn! Polenta is versitle, easy to cook, and such a perfect winter dish. (Not to mention, it goes quite well with some of our mangalista pork and GS leeks)
Come by the store, bring your friends, and grind some polenta!

Chickens are such PECKY EATERS!

12/8/2017

We strive in everything we do to to be beyond sustainable and organic and that translates into the food we give our chickens. Fresh veggies and fruit with supplemental grain to provide you with the highest quality eggs possible! That's why our egg yolks can seem darker because we provide our chickens with all the vitamins and minerals required for good health!

Welcome Nick

12/8/2017

We're so happy to welcome a new store manager to Green String Farm. Nick is originally from Salinas, CA. He started off working in Ag when he was just sixteen years old,  moving pipe and driving tractors for a brussel sprouts and a strawberry grower. 
​Eventually Nick made his way down to Cal Poly where he studied Crop Science, with an emphasis in Plant Protection. Upon graduating he acquired his PCA (Pest Control Adviser) license.
​Nick moved up to Sonoma County after graduating to work as a PCA/sales rep. in wine grapes but  felt the veggies pulling him back.. thus deciding to make a change and get back to vegetable farming.
 
We are all very excited to have you! Welcome to the team Nick!
