Dear Laloo,
Goat milk ice cream has come a long way – all the way to the White House! Barack and Michelle Obama hosted their second state dinner May 19, in honor of Mexican President Felipe Calderon and his wife Margarita Zavala. The Obamas and their 200 guests, including Eva Longoria Parker and George Lopez, dressed [...]

Dear Laloo,
I peeked inside that mystery box that just arrived on the farm. There must be 1,000 worms in there! Wow. Fun! I think our friends may want the scoop on this worm bin and what it’s all about.
Why worms? Well, for compost of course! But there’s more to it than [...]

So much to love about June
Dear Laloo,
As you know our field is covered in chamomile and thistle now that June is here. We are very mellowed out from all the nectar in the flowers. I saw that you were feeding the girls your leftover roses; we do love those. And, there’s some ripe [...]

Dear Blossom,
It is with a heavy heart that I write this letter to you and the girls. As you know we said goodbye to our beautiful Vanny last week and it has taken me some time to put into words what I will remember most about her and I wondered if you could share [...]
CSA not CSI

From Blossom’s email bag:
Dear Blossom,
What is a CSA and why should I get one?
Love,
Mindy Phoenix, AZ.
Dear Mindy,
A CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) is like a private farmers market delivered to your table. I like to think of it as a farm club for non-farmers. A CSA offers a community of people (aka members) a way [...]

Haiti needs a helping hoof
September 10, 2008 – 10:06 am
Dear Laloo,
When Faye and Gustav hit Haiti last month, the poorest country in the Western hemisphere began searching for a humanitarian lifeline. Then came Hanna, dumping more than nine feet of water on Gonaives, the resource-starved country’s second largest city. Last week, Ike delivered the knockout blow, swallowing the bridges and roads that provided humanitarian [...]
Goat on a Boat? My Travels with San Francisco Baykeeper
June 26, 2008 – 1:54 pm
Dear Laloo,
You know how we’ve been upset about the oil and sewage spills in San Francisco Bay this year, and worried about our fish friends, the salmon and the Delta smelt? Well, my new BFF, San Francisco Baykeeper, works on fixing all these problems. They’ve been telling me how I can help protect [...]
If only I had the right shoes…..
June 22, 2008 – 8:57 pm
Dear Laloo,
The Petaluma grass has already turned from green to brown and these days the sun feels soooo hot! The only way to beat the heat is to get off the farm, into some cool clothes and head off to the city (in the Laloo’s truck) for some cool events. It’s only June [...]
