Farm Lot 59 Founder Sasha Kanno is eager for the public to come visit and support the local farm, adding, “I'm excited to meet new people and reconnect with friends of the farm. Last year, we hosted Second Saturday's in November and December, and community members were really supportive.”
At 10:30am, visitors can take a 30-minute farm tour of the 1-acre lot for a $5.00 suggested donation (nobody will be turned away). “We have very happy and healthy hens and a beautiful little farm. We love showing guests around the farm to see our growing practices and operations up close,” says Kanno.
Most produce grown at Farm Lot 59 is heirloom variety and grown using biodynamic practices, which are considered “beyond organic,” making the food fresher and more nutritious. Future Saturday Market Place events will have different special guests, which will be announced on the farm’s website, longbeachlocal.org. The monthly event schedule ensures that the farm can produce enough supply for Farm lot 59. As Kanno explains, “Our members have come to expect only the best from us. We harvest at the peak of ripeness and only offer the best on and off farm products.” Farm fresh aficionados can also learn more about annual Farm Lot 59 membership, which costs $25.00 and gives members 10% off farm purchases and class registration, and invitations to special events. Additional information is available at longbeachlocal.org, or follow Farm Lot 59 on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

Potato Salad with Fennel
This recipe will make you a potluck Superstar!
Serves: 3-4
- 1 1/2 pounds potato
- apple cider vinegar
- Olive Oil
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 1 fennel bulb
- 1/2 small onion
- 1-2 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon fennel seed
- 1-2 Tablespoons plain yogurt
- walnut oil
- 1 cup walnuts, or to taste, toasted
Instructions:
Place potatoes in a pot and cover with cold water. Add a good pinch of salt. Turn heat to high and boil until soft. When soft, drain and return to pot. Add some olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and salt to potatoes while they are still hot, as they will soak up some flavor.
While potatoes are cooking, dice fennel bulb and onion finely, reserving some of the fennel frond. Heat a saute pan over medium high heat. When pan is hot, add 2 Tablespoons olive oil. Cook diced fennel and onion for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until bits start to brown on the bottom of the pan. Turn heat to low and cook for about another 10 minutes. You want the fennel and onion to be nice a soft and brown. A little bit of sticking is okay.While fennel and onion are cooking, mash garlic in a mortar and pestle with a pinch of salt and fennel seed. Add this mixture to the fennel/onion mixture towards the end of cooking, cook for 2 minutes, being careful not to let the garlic burn. Remove fennel/onion/garlic mixture and let cool slightly. Chop finely, or pulse mixture in food processor with yogurt until a paste. Dice cooked potatoes and place in a large bowl. Add fennel/onion/garlic puree to cooked potatoes.Add walnut oil to taste, and more apple cider vinegar until tangy enough. Also season with salt and pepper. Chop fennel fronds and mix in, and garnish with fennel fronds and walnuts.

NO FARMERS MARKET TODAY
Hello Long Beach Locals-
Thank you so much for coming to visit us at the Bixby Park Farmers Market. Unfortunately we will no longer be attending this market. It was nice to be off the farm and meet new friends but we have decided that this market its not a good fit for us. We appreciate all of you shopping with us and hope you will continue to do so on our farm. Our Farmstand 59 will be opening June 14th and every 2nd Saturday after that.
Please join us on the farm June 14th from 10-1. You will be able to purchase our locally grown produce, have breakfast using farm products, enjoy coffee, music and more. I'll send out details introducing everyone soon.
I do apologize for the change of plans but its the best decision for our farm. We work to hard to have the up most integrity in our farming practices. We grow everything ourselves or if we purchase from another organic farmer we make that very clear. At these local farmers markets there is no transparency and its very deceiving for the consumer to navigate. Weather you shop with us at our farmstand or the market know you are getting the highest quality product produced here in Long Beach.
I appreciate your loyalty to us and can't wait to have you back on the farm. See you all soon!
-Sasha Kanno

Today at the Farmers Market...
Hello Long Beach Locals-
I can definitely feel the buzz in the air, lots of interest about gardening and farming lately. Must be spring. Or like last week summer already? This week is bring slightly cooler temperatures but hitting the 80's again by the end of the week. I am thankful we mulched our beds over the winter to be able to help us with our water conservation this summer. I fear its going to be very very hot on the farm.
Today at the Bixby Park Farmers Market we will be bringing more of our hyper local spring greens harvested fresh for you this morning. This weeks salad mix is a blend of red and green oak leaf, red and green romaine, lollo rossa, crispino and raddicchio. Our spicy mix with arugula and mizuna is very popular so we will be bringing lots of that for you. Its washed at the farm and is ready for you to eat.
Making fresh salad dressing is very simple and keeps for a week or more. Enjoy the recipe below.
Don't forget if you are a member of Long Beach Local your $25 annual membership discount is valid anytime you shop with us. New members can sign up with us at the market.
Open Every Tuesday
Hours: 3:00pm - dusk
Located in Bixby Park
on Junipero between
1st and 2nd Streets
City of Long Beach
Thank you for supporting local agriculture in Long Beach and spending your dollars with us. When you shop with us it keeps us farming for you. See you EVERY TUESDAY!
Balasamic Vinaigretts from Chinese Grandma
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard (whole grain dijon is also great if you have it)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, crushed (or minced if you like a stronger garlic flavor)
Directions
- In mixing bowl measure honey, mustard, salt, pepper and crushed garlic. Stir with fork to combine (you can use a whisk if you’re using minced garlic; the crushed garlic clove tends to get caught in the wires).
- Add balsamic vinegar and stir. Gradually oil, whisking with fork to incorporate. Stir until fully emulsified.
- Store in a jar with lid (a repurposed jam jar works nicely). Keeps indefinitely in refrigerator. I like to leave the garlic clove in, where it sits at the bottom of the jar and continues to release its subtle garlic flavor. But if you are afraid you’re accidentally going to get in your salad, you can fish it out with a fork and discard it.
