It's Love Local Month and we're celebrating @lundbergfamilyfarms commitment to sustainability and our home! 🌎🦆❤️

After fleeing the Nebraska Dust Bowl in 1937, Albert Lundberg knew caring for the land was the only sustainable path forward. He committed to farming in partnership with nature, and every generation since has followed in his trailblazing footsteps. 😍🗺️🎯

Right now, look for 2 pound bags of Organic California Lundberg Rice (Short & Long Grain Brown, White Basmati and Jasmine) on sale at The Patch. 🌾🍚🍣

Happy Rosh Hashanah! Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish

Happy Rosh Hashanah!

Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year festival, held on the first (also sometimes the second) day of Tishri (in September). It is marked by the blowing of the shofar, and begins the ten days of penitence culminating in Yom Kippur. This year, Rosh Hashanah falls on Sept 25 - 27.

What better way to celebrate Rosh Hashana than to make some knishes? 🥔🌿🧅🥟

We're loving local this month and so grateful for all the farmers at @mountainbountyfarm 🥕🥦🥬

Founded in 1997 by John Tecklin, Mountain Bounty Farm is a 50-acre organic family farm located high on the forested contours of the San Juan Ridge near Nevada City, California. Today the oldest and largest CSA farm in the Sierras is co-managed by Maia, Jake, Cory and Grace.

We’ve been working with Mountain Bounty Farm for at least a decade and they never cease to amaze us with high quality produce that keeps customers coming back for more.

BriarPatch is proud to support this farm in many ways. In 2020, Mountain Bounty Farm on Birchville Road, was officially bought through a partnership called Forever Farms with @bearyubalandtrust @sierraharvest BriarPatch and @tahoefoodhub 👏👏👏

This time of year, look for Mountain Bounty Farm bunched beets, green cabbage, red chard, collard greens, Dino kale, cilantro, leeks and sweet Nantes carrots at The Patch!

“Mountain Bounty Farm continues to excel in all aspects of their working relationship with us. They keep us updated well in advance of when their items will be starting, finishing or gapping in supply so that we can work efficiently with the changes. The quality of their produce is wonderful: beautiful crisp lettuce rich in nutrition, large broccoli crowns, full and round red beets with tender greens.

Their produce hits the mark, looking and tasting like you want it to look and taste. They know what they’re doing and they are committed to sharing this expertise with our local community, by training new farmers and supplying us with fresh and nutritious produce,” said BriarPatch Produce Buyer Cia Harden. 👨‍🌾👩‍🌾🚜

We love seeing the national co-op community taking

We love seeing the national co-op community taking on food justice and racial equity. ❤️🌈✊🏿Great write-up @civileats📰

"Over the last decade, more co-ops rooted in the Black community have taken shape, and the co-op movement as a whole has increasingly shifted its focus from providing natural and organic foods to addressing a different need—the lack of racial equity and food justice. Since 2016, the Food Co-op Initiative (FCI), a Minnesota-based organization that advises and supports startup food co-ops, has seen the number of BIPOC-led co-ops it supports more than double, from seven to 17. The overall number of co-ops FCI works with has also grown, from 62 to 93—and many establishments not explicitly led by people of color are taking seriously the quest for racial equity."

Happy Love Local Month @bakerandcakemaker 😍👨‍🍳👩‍🍳

We've been proud to support their journey since the beginning! Did you know, they deliver multiple times a week to BriarPatch? 🍞

The Baker and Cakemaker supplies our customers with 10 varieties of delicious fresh artisan baked bread like their most popular - Meyer Lemon Rosemary. 😋🍋🌿

“Our Meyer lemons comes from a local farmer. Every year we buy basically his entire crop. This last year we went through about 1,800 pounds of lemons. We zest them then freeze the zest so we can use it all year round,” says Nathan.

We love our relationship with these all-star bakers and look forward to growing down the hill to their neighborhood! Be sure to check out their bakery café in downtown City of Auburn.

Right now we have beautiful organic and locally grown Asian Pears from Weimar Farm

In Japan, Asian pears were once believed to ward off misfortune. Their large trees were often planted at the front of the house gates as a symbolic guard for the family, and they were grown in the corners of properties to protect against evil. Also a good source of vitamin C, dietary fiber, and vitamin K.
