At first people refuse to believe that a strange new thing can be done. Then they begin to hope it can be done. Then they see it can be done. Then it is done and all the world wonders why it was not done centuries ago. -- Frances Hodgson Burnett

Although planting AND harvesting organic produce for your community is not something new to our civilization it is something well forgotten. We can only hope that one day all will see what we do as something that we should have been doing a long time ago. Healthy natural food is only the beginning of getting back to a more planet friendly way of living.

Red Round Tomatoes

Be on the Look out for this Produce in your CSA's within a week or two!

 FUN FACTS:

The tomato originated in the Andes Mountains in South America. Maya and Aztec people grew tomatoes, therefore, Its name is derived from the Aztec word “tomatl”. Spanish explorers introduced the tomato to Europe in the 1600’s where it was embraced by Spaniards and Italians. Turns out Tomatoes are in the fruit family, but they are served and prepared as a vegetable. Today Tomatoes are one of the most popular vegetables eaten by Americans

STRAWBERRIES GALORE

Close Up 

 Dragon Organics has 20 rows of strawberries and we're trying to get rid of them!!!!! The students here at San Pasqual Academy are so overstuffed with strawberries that they are even willing to pass on a delicious box of them. Due to our overflow in strawberries we are now allowing our CSA customers (thats you) to order just strawberries. If you are interest in ordering we will have them delivered to your usual CSA pick up spot on your usual pick up day. At this time we are offering the 3 cart boxes for 6 dollars, a three cart box is about 2.5 lbs, and 1 cart for 2.50, which is about 1 lb. You cannot go anywhere and get this type of deal on conventional or organic strawberries, especially not with our taste. So if your having a meeting, into making jams or just want something healthy to snack on do not hesitate because with this deal they are sure to go fast! To order please send an e-mail Emily Roche at dragonorganics@yahoo.com
