The recent rain storms caused a huge flood at our friends' business San Francisco Raw Feeders (SFRAW). They sustained a lot of damage and have had to close their facility for a massive cleanup. If you have any funds to spare, they would sure appreciate the help.

Today SFRAW suffered a devastating flood from our epic rains the last 2 days, ruining almost everything throughout the entire SFRAW warehouse and office. Luckily, the inventory was saved and was moved to a cold storage facility temporarily, until the warehouse can be cleaned and dried and reopen...

Some history about our namesake, the heirloom Sweet Pea or Lathyrus Cupani:

‘Cupani’ was first cultivated by a Sicilian monk, Father Francis Cupani, who found this intensely scented wild sweet pea growing near his monastery in 1695. In 1699, he sent some seeds to a teacher in England & so ‘Cupani’ is the first recorded Sweet Pea to be cultivated. Though the beautiful deep purple-blue & violet bi-colored blooms are smaller than modern hybrids, ‘Cupani’ retains the original fabulous fragrance loved by Father Francis. No other sweet peas are this fragrant. Besides that, they will BLOOM LONGER in warmer weather than all the others. Rich Soil is best for Sweet Peas. Fine for containers, too.
