Backyard Bounty Needs Produce!
Help Backyard Bounty help those in need by harvesting your excess produce. Do you have a vegetable garden, an orchard, a farm that has more than you can harvest? If so Backyard Bounty volunteers will pick your excess goods, then donate to the needy through the Santa Barbara County Foodbank.
Your produce won’t go to waste, and you’ll be helping Backyard Bounty reach their goal of harvesting 100K lbs of harvested fruits and vegetables this year (only 4K lbs more to go).

Grow Basil! Not only to puree into a beautiful summer pesto, but to toss in salads, adorn pizzas, and feed to the red wigglers in your worm bin. For Weekend Hippie's pesto, mix to taste: fresh, homegrown or farmers' market basil, toasted pine nuts, whole garlic, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, and sea salt. Drizzle a thin layer of olive over the top, seal, and store in glass jars. Use or freeze within ten days. I make five jars at at time and share with friends and neighbors. Enjoy!!
