Creating a Life Well Loved
— George Elliot
With the end of summer comes cooler days, back to school, and harvest. Most of us, when we think of harvest, picture the rolling vineyards filled with plump grapes ready for the harvest festivals and grape stomping, which typically take place in October. Here in North County, we also follow the harvest season with our local farms; whether it is produce or getting ready for pumpkin season, we have it all right at our fingertips.
We live in such a special place in the world that we have farmers who are our neighbors and friends. We have local farmer’s markets almost every day of the week throughout the county. As a result, we have the ability to have fresh eggs, milk, veggies, and meat, all locally grown.
In Templeton, we have a community farm with the goal of providing fresh produce to the community as well as those in need. The farm is focused on allowing people to come and “pick” their own produce so they can understand where the food comes from and learn about gardening, pruning, and harvesting their own dinner (page 18).
The North County Farmer’s Markets, Market Manager Robyn Gable, takes us behind the scenes with our local farmers and the market. Gable explains that when you shop at the market, you are supporting the farmers, their families, and employees who make up our communities (page 20).
When we look at the rising cost of all goods throughout our nation and the water drought we are facing in California, it is important to know what is available for you and your family locally. Supporting one another is how we get back in touch with what is truly important and leave behind all the chatter that is made to scare and divide us.
As we head into the Autumn season, we remember what is the most important during the coldest time of the year…family, friends, and community. If that remains at the forefront of what we do, there is nothing we can’t do together.
We wish you a happy harvest season; we hope you enjoy this issue of the Paso Robles Magazine
