Blue Goose Produce: Newsletter
Fall/Winter 2016
On November 1st, we began harvesting one of our three varieties of mandarins. We hope to have delicious mandarins available through April of 2017 this season. In addition to mandarins, we have four varities of persimmons. We have fuyu, chocolate, cinnamon, and hychia. We also have walnuts, pistachios, and pecans in the shell and shelled. There is a wide selection of locally made cheeses, jams, sauces, fruit spreads, toppings, and olive oils. For dessert, we have Machado's take and bake pies (apple, peach, apricot, mixed berry, marionberry, boysenberry, raspberry) and baked pecan pies, mandarin cakes, and cookies.
We also have excellent grass-fed beef. Our steers are hormone and antibiotic free. They are raised stress free and allowed to roam our rolling Newcastle pastures. If you have never tried grass-fed beef, you are in for a treat. Try the ground beef. It makes a truely "old fashioned" hamburger.
In 1997, Loomis residents, Ron and Tressa Cooper, founded Earth and Vine Provisions. They believe that there is no place for preservatives or anything artificial in their products. After all, our hot summer days and cool nights of our foothills yield some of the most flavorful fruits and vegetables. Tressa is a true culinary explorer, and Earth & Vine's jams, dressings, sauces and marinades are unlike anything else on the market. We have one of the largest assortments of Earth & Vine Provisions.
