Supporting local farms

Bella


Due to COVID-19, the restaurant industry has not been needing anywhere near as much supply.
So my family has been buying fresh vegetables from Star Route Farms CSA, one of Bolinas’s
oldest farms. The farm has created delivery days and are selling directly to the public, and
deliver to Tiburon on Tuesdays between 10-11am. You pre-purchase your veggie box the week
before, they park in the City Hall parking lot, and have a drive-through touchless system where
customers can pick up their orders. You remain in your vehicle, you tell them your name, they
locate your order number, and then deposit a large bag of produce in your trunk without any
human contact. Everyone wears masks and gloves and the box is $30. Today, our box contained
2 bunches of carrots, 5 green little gems, 1 red butter lettuce, 1 head of frisee, 1 bunch of chard,
1 lb. of fava beans, 1 bag of wild arugula, 1 bag of mesclun, and 1 bunch of thyme. It is the
highlight of our week! They are the most delicious farm vegetables, from one of our favorite
restaurant’s (Watershed, Mill Valley) most beloved suppliers.
