Cilantro, Radishes, and Green Onions from Westhill Farms. Locally grown and delicious! 🫜🧺

Our neighbors at Westhill Farms stopped by early this morning with the latest harvest: Cilantro, Radishes, and Green Onions.

These deliveries are about more than just fresh produce; they reflect the local relationships and shared commitment to the land here in Rancho Calaveras. We’ve moved the haul over to the General Store @ Motherlode Co.

Stop by and see what our neighbors have grown: it’s a simple way to connect with the transition of the season.

Dinner planning doesn't have to be a chore. 🌮

If you’re craving a fresh, local Taco Tuesday, we have everything you need to get it on the table in one stop. We’re stocking fresh tortillas right now: made this morning at the La Collina Farms farmhouse.

We also have our new La Collina Farms Taco Seasoning Blend, made in-house at the farm. If you’re picking up any of our local taco meat or the ingredients for our taco dip, we’re including a free sample packet of the La Collina Farms Taco Seasoning Blend to get you started.

We’ve stocked up on Fresh California Produce from Westhill Farm: the cilantro, onions, and crisp radishes are as fresh as it gets. You can also find our local ground beef, carne asada, cheese, and sour cream all in one place.

Busy Parent Hack: We know the juggle of keeping things healthy for the family while racing against the clock. Our favorite "hack" is using the La Collina seasoning for the taco meat, then doubling up to make this quick, wholesome dip. It’s a total crowd-pleaser that usually wins over the picky eaters, too.

Taco Dip Hack Recipe:
- 1 packet La Collina Farms Taco Seasoning Blend
- 1 cup Super Mom Salsa and Snacks salsa
- 1 cup Nancy's Yogurt sour cream
- 8 oz Clover Sonoma cream cheese softened)
Stir until well combined and serve.

(Note: These ingredients are available at the General Store for your home kitchen and are not served in-store.)
