In f lipping through the pages of this California Bountiful issue, you may notice something new: this logo at the end of certain articles and features. That is just to note that the subject of the story is a member of the California Farm Bureau, which publishes California Bountiful and is the state’s largest agricultural organization. For this issue, some of those members have the pleasure of introducing you to their farms and ranches and the bounty they yield. Member Ben Gregersen and partner John Dundon of Sierra Nevada Cheese Co. are helping keep Northern California dairy farming traditions alive while producing their farmhouse-style cheeses. Member Denise Godfrey of Olive Hill Greenhouses in Fallbrook grows f lowering houseplants that brighten indoor environments like works of art. Meanwhile, at Aicha Moroccan Cuisine in San Francisco, chef Reda Bakhouya cooks up his signature Lamb Tagine with Prunes &Almonds with fruit from farmers likeMichael Vasey, a member who grows prunes on a 400-acre orchard in Red Bluff and, yes, delights in eating them. In keeping with tradition, our first issue of the year also showcases the winning images fromFarmBureau’s annual photo contest. We hope you enjoy this glimpse of farm life from our members’ personal perspectives. As a new feature for 2022, we’re offering “farm-fresh tips” from our members. Frank Fitzpatrick, who raises grass-fed beef in Orange County, has advice for cooking your favorite cut of steak. Rose grower Janet Louie in Monterey County can tell you how to extend the life of a bouquet. And citrus farmers John and Shirley Kirkpatrick in Tulare County offer guidance for protecting your backyard lemons and oranges from pests and disease.
