I buy Fiesta Farm eggs and chicken at the Campbell farmers market- they are both excellent quality…read more The eggs are fresh and taste like an egg should! The chickens are so clean that when I use them to make broth there isn't any junk or scum that comes out in the cooking. I would buy these everyday if I could! Wish I could have access to these on a regular basis!!!

I am thrilled to be able to buy pastured chicken, pastured pork, pastured turkey, and pastured eggs…read morefrom Aurelio and Sarah, the husband and wife team that make up this small, local operation. I have purchased from them at the Sunnyvale Farmer's Market on Saturdays, from the Campbell Farmer's Market on Sundays, direct in the form of a couple bulk buys to stock my freezer, and over the years from a couple different season-long CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) pickup sites they've set up in San Jose and in Los Gatos. Buying directly from the farmer has been an educational experience for me and my family in terms of really understanding how food gets from the farm to the table. Before this, I bought the same cuts of on-sale factory farmed meat from the grocery store, failing to internalize that what those animals were fed and the living conditions in which they were raised could not possibly result in food that I would want to consume. I did not understand that "organic" or "free-range" did not mean what I would have assumed it to mean. After watching the movie "Food Inc.", I totally understand now why you ought to want to meet your farmers and have a direct relationship with them. The more I have read, the more foolish I feel to trust big corporations and the deceptive marketing they use to swindle you into believing their products are wholesome. If I could reasonably pull it off, I'd raise my own animals and grow more of my own food, but since that's not practical right now, this is the next best thing. Over time, I am learning how to use the variety of cuts that we get from the pork and how to render the fat to use in browning roasts, cooking vegetables, making pastry (for pies and samosas), and occasional frying. I use the chicken bones and carcass and now also the heads and feet to regularly make stock. (I am worried about what is in the bones of industrially-farmed animals so I regret using them for stocks before I learned about this.) And overall, we now eat less meat than we used to, being careful not to waste anything. We used to buy a $5 whole chicken, already roasted, from Costco, and now I am flabbergasted at speculating what they must do to be able to pull that off. Prior to reading about pastured animals, I was afraid of consuming animal fat. Now I am only afraid of the animal fat from industrially-farmed animals (as I'm worried about the toxins and antibiotics being concentrated in them). I'm also afraid of many vegetable oils as I've read that the processing of them likely has damaged them to the point of making them dangerous for us to consume. So I am thankful I can now render my own lard from Fiesta Farm's pork (and tallow from Morris Grassfed's beef). I respect and appreciate Sarah and Aurelio's transparency and values and am happy to support their business. I am thankful for their hard work and their commitment to doing things right. And wow, I am so grateful to live in the bay area where we have relatively easy access to nutritious real food produced with integrity.

Doing U-pick is fun: rounded up for the fun factor. The fruit is not organic. In case you want to…read moreeat the U-pick fruit on the spot: Bring a basket with holes in the bottom, and bottled water, so that you can rinse the fruit before eating. The lineup: 5/5: U-pick boysenberries: June 4: Blenheim apricots, June: $3.70/pound. About 70% were ripe. 3: Dutch apple pie. Kind of meh. 3: Strawberry shortcake. Bring your own maple syrup and pour some on top; it needs some sweetness. 2: Cherry pie. Kinda meh. For boysenberries, consider wearing latex gloves to keep your hands from getting stained red.

Every now and then, during strawberry season, we pop into Gizdich Ranch, seeking out a Strawberry…read morePie like one that we got about 8 years ago. While we didn't see it listed on the menu board, when my wife asked the order taker, she knew exactly what we wanted and told her that the wait would be 15 minutes as they made them to order. OMG, it was beautiful! Loaded with fresh strawberries and just enough glaze to bind it, the glaze did not overwhelm the taste of the strawberries. You can't really slice it as created. Instead, you pick off some of the fruit on top until it's down to a manageable height and then we use a large spoon to parse it out. Whipped cream? Ice cream? Both would be excellent accompaniments to be sure, but we used neither.
