A Taste of Shepard Farms

Last Saturday a crowd turned up to the open house at Shepard Farms in Carpinteria. Music, food, hayrides and farm animals, that's a combination sure to please anyone and it was a perfect day for a festival. Tom Shepard was there of course as well as Premier Pickler, Julia Crookston.  Michael Escobar was there with his portable wood-fired pizza oven baking up pizzas to order.
Chef Edie Robertson (congratulations to Edie for her win in the recent local BBQ contest!) was there cooking up vittles from the SB County kitchen on wheels along with Nancy Weiss, director of food service in Santa Barbara County Schools. Very exciting what she is doing, but more on that some other time. Enjoy the photos of this super fun event and be sure to check out Shepard Farms CSA, and their farm stand. Until next time, fill your garden with joy!
