Local Produce!


I was so excited to find out the produce we have seen growing in Walker Basin is available to purchase at the roadside stand on Fri and Sat from 2-5 p.m. A local farmstand has been a longstanding wish of mine. Despite the fact we had quite a large veggie garden until recently, I had pined for things not growing in ours. Corn, for example, is something best grown on a larger scale than makes sense for two people. Our new Walker Basin produce stand has corn, melons, squash, tomato, tomatillo, green beans, cucumber, green onions, beets and more. Labor Day weekend, Dino and I picked up a little of everything and had THE BEST stir fry of zuccini squash and baby corn with green onions. You could taste how alive the food was. I have included a picture that does not do justice. I will follow up with a picture of the farm and address. When heading toward Lake Isabella from Twin Oaks it is on the left side of the Walker Basin Rd...you can clearly see the corn and pumkins near the road. I hope people will check it out and support them so we can all enjoy their efforts.
