Thank you!


Hello Long Beach Locals-
Last Thursday's event at Keesal, Young and Logan was fantastic. I appreciate all the work Justin Hectus did to make this a successful event. Everyone enjoyed the music from The Moonsville Collective and the food was fantastic. Justina from Shortnin Bread, produce from Aliye at beachgreens, chicken from Dave and Heather at New Frontier Family Farms and cheese and wine from Venissimo and the Organic Cellar. I'm telling you, next time we have a party you should come.
We were able to raise a sizable amount of funds but did come up a little short to fund our fence. If you were unable to attend but would still like to donate anyway please visit the website and click the Donate button on the side bar. All donations are tax deductible under our 501(c)3 non-profit status.
Our community work day on Saturday was awesome. We were able to plant everything in our greenhouse, reseed where the rabbits wiped us out and start more seeds in the greenhouse. The cycle continues.
At our June 9th work day I would like to paint our chicken coop. If you are interested in designing something fun let me know. Its a great coop but a little bland let's perk it up for the happy hens.
Thanks and see you on the farm.

Busy week for Farm Lot 59


Hello Long Beach Locals-
This week is a busy one on the farm.
Wednesday is our biweekly Farm Box pick up. Every other week (soon to be every week) we offer a mixed box of farm fresh produce for $30. Everything is organically grown and harvested just for you. This summer we will also have our Farmstand 59 open for your shopping pleasure. Consider it a mini farmers market where you know everything is grown with integrity and sustainable methods. Eggs come from our hens, honey from our hives and produce from the field below. We will still be sourcing some fruit from farmer friends to make sure you have the best in season produce available.
Thursday is our event at Keesal, Young and Logan to help raise money for our fence. We will be snacking on locally sourced delights from New Frontier Family Farm, Shortnin Bread, beachgreens, Venissimo, The Moonsville Collective will be playing an acoustic set. The Organic Cellar is on board to pour some organic and biodynamic wine for you. If you are interested in attending the rsvp is still open, email us and let us know. If you are unable to attend but would like to donate anyway please visit the website and click the Donate button on the side bar.
Friday and Saturday from 9-3 are our community work days. This week we will be planting all our seedlings from the greenhouse. We have hundreds of plants to plant and need your help. The sooner we get them in the ground the sooner we will be harvesting the delicious bounty.
See you on the farm.
Sasha Kanno

This week on the farm.

Hello folks-

I hope to see you this week. There are so many different things happening, hopefully something will interest you and get you out to the farm.

Wednesday we have our weekly Farm Box pick up. Spring veggies are a wonderful thing. Everything is young and oh so fresh. The boxes are a mixed selection from farmer friends provided to us by Aliye at beachgreens.

Thursday is our Fencing In fundraiser. Keesal, Young and Logan have generously offered to throw us a party. Please come and enjoy yourself while donating to the farm. Lots of vendors and local yummy treats will be available. Live music and a little presentation by me to show you all what's been happening. No cover charge to get in, any amount donated is appreciated.

Friday and Saturday we will be working to get all our starts planted. Its time to get everything in the ground. We have tons to plant. Tomatoes, cucumbers, greens, flowers, melons, squashes, our entire summer crop. All hands on deck for this. On Saturday we BBQ and have a great time.

Hope to see you this week!

Its a party on May 10th. Come support the farm!


May 10th shindig is coming up quick

I'm really looking forward to our party at Keesal Young and Logan next Thursday, May 10th. We have extended the rsvp until this Friday May 4th. This event is being donated by KYL to help us raise money for a much needed fence. If you have been following us on facebook or the blog you saw the damage the critters have done to the farm. The coyotes and wild dogs have eaten our hens, the rabbits have eaten our seedlings and the gophers are giving me a straight up headache.

On to the party! The Moonsville Collective will be playing an acoustic set. Click on the link to watch a great video. Venissimo cheese shop will be there with their product. We might have a few other local partners popping up with some delicious treats. KYL's Chef Will will be preparing a wonderful menu of in season delights and The Organic Cellar is on board to pour some organic and biodynamic wine for you.

This is going to be a great event for our wonderful little farm. Please come and make a tax deductible donation to Long Beach Local and help Farm Lot 59 keep on keeping on. Once we are able to safely get our crops in the ground we will be able to sell this beautiful produce to you. We have weekly produce boxes available for sale along with eggs from our hens and honey from our bee hives. You can read more about that on our site under Farm Lot 59 or come to the party and ask all the questions.
If possible rsvp by tomorrow May 4th. See you on May 10th.

Thanks so much-

Venissimo cheese shop will be there with their product, until a few weeks ago I didn't know we had a cheese shop in Long Beach. I went there the same day I found out. They have a wonderful selection of cheeses from all over the world. I am glad to know there is an alternative to Whole Foods for good cheese. The Organic Cellar is also on board to pour some organic and biodynamic wine for you.
