Dank and Delicious California

Fresh Fruit Available at Santa Barbara Farmers Market

Now that I have your attention, let’s talk about what’s Dank and Delicious in California. Since the beginning of May, cherries and blueberries have been in season at the Santa Barbara Farmer’s Market. As recently as last week we have welcomed apricots and peaches into season locally.

We heard from a friend that there is a place just before Buellton where you can pick your own blueberries for a fraction of what they cost in the stores. After indulging in an almond butter and jelly sandwich made from Fat Uncle Farms and Harry’s Berries (found at Santa Barbara Farmer’s Market) we were off.

U-Pick Blueberries - Gaviota,CA

The trip took us about 35 minutes north of Santa Barbara. The drive up was beautiful, displaying amazing coastline and wild mustard plants. Just shy of Buellton, past Classic Organic Farm (another one of my spots) make a right and turn off the road when you see the sign “U-Pick Blueberries“. For $15 you can fill a pale about the size of a quart, plus you can eat the berries while you pick.

Fresh picked blueberries from Gaviota

We think this is a great deal considering you can eat one $5 tray from the store in about five minutes. Another plus about blueberry picking at this location is that the property is amazing to walk on, it has a cool pond and huge oak trees that complete the scenery. We truly believe that you should check this place out. Buying local is an amazing thing for the community and we support it to the fullest. Please remember to eat well and keep Cali Green.

There are many benefits to buying local, less pollution because the product does not have to ship over seas, knowing who grows the product and being able to ask questions about it, keeping business in your community and money in your town, and the freshest possible product.

IV Goes Green

claire — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 06:29:29 +0000

So, the Earth Day festival in Isla Vista was a hit! What started out as a cloudy morning turned out to be a beautiful, sunny day in IV. Groups of people came out to support Earth Day, taking in the music and sunshine. Cali Green was out there with some merchandise soaking up all the good vibes of the day and meeting new people. As well as Cali Green, tons of other vendors were out raising awareness for their causes that included recycling, sustainable energy, and even solar powered backpacks. From henna tattoos and face painting to free grapefruit sorbet and hula hooping, people were out and about enjoying themselves in the festivities. With nothing but positivity flowing, everyone who came out ended up having a blast while supporting a great cause!

Earth Day

claire — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 18:00:40 +0000

This year, Thursday, April 22, marks the 40th anniversary of Earth Day. In response to environmental degradation, including the Santa Barbara oil spill of 1969, U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson started the holiday in 1970. This world-wide event celebrates the natural environment, bringing awareness to the modern environmental movement which promotes green energy, green jobs, a green economy, and green thinking. In celebration of this year’s Earth Day, the Santa Barbara community will be having a festival in Alameda Park on Saturday, April 17, from eleven o’clock AM to seven o’clock PM, and on Sunday, April 18, from eleven o’clock AM to five o’clock PM. Also, Isla Vista is hosting a festival on Saturday, April 24, in Anisq’oyo Park from noon to 6 o’ clock PM. The events will include local bands, vendors, and activities that show appreciation for the environment. So come out and join Cali Green in showing your support for the Earth and living green. Hope to see you all there!
