A Gorgeous Summer Finale+Sept Soiree Menu Sneak Peeks ⭐🌼

[Stephanie Dunn]

Urban. Organic. Love The Ice Cream Social was a Hit! Thank you to all who came—it was perfect to enjoy frozen treats in the garden on a hot summer day! Between frozen green smoothies, a DIY fruit kebab station, and the specialty paletas made with Star Farm produce—the face painting and live portraits were the cherry on top! We are so thrilled to partner with Decolores IceCream to make custom paletas with our produce—guests enjoyed and took home blueberry, oat, greek yogurt; carrot, mango, chamoy; date-sweetened gold and beet paleta, and cucumber-lime. The Bounty Continues to Unfold Enjoy the best local, seasonal produce with the Star Farm CSA. Subscriptions are home-delivered and available on a rolling basis year-round! Try a no-commit CSA, add on some local french green lentils, a dozen eggs, and a loaf of Publican bread and, like many of our customers say, rediscover food.
