What's growing best in your garden this year?

Have your tomatoes taken off? Are your peas finished? Is your lettuce thriving? Maybe you're harvesting zucchini already (or maybe the deer are harvesting it for you. 😅)

Tell us what's doing well (or not so well!) in your corner of Modoc County. We'd love to see photos, too!

The Modoc Harvest Food Hub is OPEN for this week's orders! https://openfoodnetwork.net/modoc-harvest-food-hub/shop #/shop_panel

Summer is here, and our producers are harvesting some beautiful greens. Right now you'll find fresh salad mix, kale, chard, fresh STRAWBERRIES, along with local eggs, meats, honey, wild rice, jams, and other products from producers across Modoc County.

Every order supports local farms and ranches while bringing fresh, locally produced food to your table.

Modoc Harvest's Food Hub connects local food producers with communities eager for fresh, sustainable produce and artisanal goods. We champion our regional food system to empower our local economy and nurture a healthy, resilient community.

Sometimes local food work looks like farmers markets and produce boxes. Sometimes it looks like seeds being shared between neighbors, kids learning where food comes from, preserving heritage orchards, or helping people use the food items they have on-hand.

Modoc Harvest exists to support a stronger, more connected local food system here in Modoc County. Thank you to everyone who participates in that work in big and small ways.

Growing more than your family can eat?

The Modoc Harvest Food Hub is always looking for local producers interested in selling food within Modoc County.

Whether you have a market garden, a few extra fruit trees, eggs from a growing flock, herbs, honey, cut flowers, beef, pork, or something else produced locally, the Food Hub can help connect you with customers.

Set your own prices, update your availability as it changes, and sell alongside other local producers through a shared online marketplace. We handle aggregation and distribution so you don't have to.

If you've ever thought, "I wish I had a simple way to sell some of this," we'd love to talk with you! https://modocharvest.org/food-hub/

New Joe’s Special – A Meal with a Story
(shared by Kay Antunez de Mayolo, Oz Garden)

This tasty meal is a quick-cooking Italian frittata that Kay’s family discovered while living in the San Francisco Bay Area. (According to some accounts, it was originally created as an after-hours snack by dance band musicians in the 1920s.) Over the years, it became a staple at their dinner table and has now been passed down through two generations who still love its simple ingredients... almost all of which can be found through the Modoc Harvest Food Hub!!

Using a 10” cast-iron frying pan or Dutch oven, brown and crumble 1 pound of ground beef in a little olive oil with 2–3 cloves of minced garlic. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add about 10–12 ounces of chopped chard, kale, or spinach (remove thick stems if needed), cover, and continue cooking for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

In a separate bowl, scramble 3–4 eggs, then pour into the pan over lower heat and cook until the eggs begin to set. Stir in ½ cup Parmesan cheese and serve with a piece of crusty bread.

If you’ve ever thought about participating at our Farmers Markets, even if you’re not sure you’re “ready” yet, we’d love to talk with you.

You do not have to figure everything out alone!! If there’s something standing in the way, let us know. Need help understanding [or filling out] permits or paperwork? Need signage? Don’t have a tent yet? Need some free seeds? Not sure what’s required? Let’s talk about it.

Our community needs more local food producers at the market, and we want to make participation feel possible and accessible for everyone who's interested.
