In 2022, Sacramento Food Bank and Family Services (SFBFS) and their partner agencies distributed 34.3 million pounds of food, 11.7 million pounds of which was produce. With over 300,000 people in Sacramento county facing food insecurity,-- the inability to access affordable, nutritious food—we are honored to partner with the SFBFS and our members to donate fresh organic fruit and vegetables to those in need.
Lion’s mane mushrooms are native to North America, Europe, and Asia and there are several species of edible Hericium that grow in the wild or under cultivation. They have several common names that come from their shaggy appearance which can range from dangling icicles to hedgehog spikes to a lion’s mane.

“It’s in my blood, I can’t help it!” David Vierra says of his passion for farming. Ellard Vierra, David’s grandfather, was instrumental in settling the Sacramento River Delta in the 1920’s, and he farmed full-time until the mid-1960’s.
In 1992, our mother, Kathleen Barsotti, founded Farm Fresh To You, delivering farm-fresh, organic produce to homes and offices. It was her belief that an important part of sustainable agriculture is connecting people to the land that grows their food.

As the truck and trailer came to a skidding stop on the gravel road, I jumped out of the truck, then remembered to turn off the diesel engine in the hope of getting some good audio of the hissing. That glimmer on the end of the serpent was what I suspected, a rattle,-- each nub the result of one skin shed. It was a beautiful and huge rattlesnake, the back half still in the gravel road, the front starting to make its way up a bank on the side of the road.

With Mother’s Day right around the corner, we want to celebrate and honor the moms who have started and run their own family businesses! The time, determination and perseverance to start a small business, not to mention a food company where creating and perfecting recipes and packaging are months to years-long steps in the process, are monumental. We think these feats are amazing and the women who have accomplished them even more so.
