This past weekend we were thrilled to participate in the first Farm to Fork Festival in Sacramento. Part of our display included some very fun pallet gardens filled with edible herbs, flowers and ornamental peppers. They were a huge hit, so we wanted to share how to create this beautiful, decorative and delicious wall of edible art. Follow our simple tutorial to give a pallet a second life, creating a palette of colors for your palate.

Sacramento has taken its place as America’s official Farm to Fork capital, and we’re partnering with the community, local restaurants, local farmers and producers and the Sacramento Convention and Visitor’s Bureau in honor of our region and all it has to share, including the importance of sustainability and the benefits of eating local.

Be on the lookout for local, organically grown spring onions, which crop up in our produce department this time of year. Several local farms will be up to their elbows in them soon: Terra Firma and Full Belly farms are two of our favorite growers of red and white spring onions in Yolo County. Spring onions are essentially immature onions that haven’t fully developed.
