A Study in Cover Crops | Part 2: Food for the Soil 🌱 The first rule of organic farming is that what we take from the land, we must return in equal measure. One way we achieve this is by planting carefully chosen cover crops in the wintertime. A favorite here at Frog's Leap is the fantastic faba bean. These small but mighty legumes have bacteria on their roots that fix nitrogen; a vital nutrient that the vines will use for healthy growth and water uptake. As John points out, healthy soils produce healthy vines, which in turn create vibrant wines that could only be from our corner of Rutherford. We mean it when we say we don’t make great wine, we grow it. 📷 California Wines • #FrogsLeap #ResponsibleFarming

"Ultimately, the study provided preliminary evidence that microbes might influence the spiciness of mustard, though the exact mechanisms are yet to be determined. Nonetheless, this research contributes significantly to our understanding of how soil microbes may affect plant properties." #microbes #soil #sensory #agriculture #innovation #beer #wine #spirits #hops #malt

WHY? Because we believe in real, good food and better ways of selecting, growing, harvesting, crafting and eating it. And we decided to do something about it. We think #biodiversity when we talk about heirloom and ancient wheat, we think #regenerative agriculture and ethical farmers when we talk about who grows it, we think of truly whole grain and craft milling when we talk about our flour blend, we think artisanal methods and deep tradition when we talk about extrusion, bronze dies and slow drying when talk pasta making, we think of community, flavor, pleasure, abundance, nourishment when we talk about sharing a pasta meal. There are always ways of making everything better. #realfood #foodonamission #sustainability #regenerativeagriculture #organic

While a smaller harvest than last year, the 2024–2025 California avocado season is still predicted to produce a whopping 208 million pounds. Although the majority of this year’s avocado yield — approximately 95% — will be the Hass variety, other varieties have grown increasingly popular in recent years. The GEM variety is projected to produce 5 million pounds, doubling last year’s yield. There’s also been a lot of talk about the Luna UCR avocado, whose patent is still pending, but has excited consumers and growers alike. Do you grow avocados? If so, what varieties are you growing this season? #CaliforniaAvocados #Avocados #AvocadoSeason #Agriculture #California

🤔 When buying fruit, have you ever wondered why some fruit ripens perfectly while others remain stubbornly green? The first thing you need to know is that there are two types of fruit: 🍎🍌 #Climacteric fruits, such as bananas and apples, which continue to ripen after harvesting. 🍓🍊 #NonClimacteric fruits, such as citrus fruits and strawberries, which must remain on the tree or plant to ripen fully. 🧪 But what is the secret of ripening? It is simple science! 🔬 ⬇️ Discover more in the article below, and if you already know, share your insights in the comments below – we'd love to hear from you.

From the Breeder: Why are carrots orange? Root Vegetable Product Manager, Kyle Tisdale, gives the history on how human preference changed this famous vegetable into what we know and love today. Crunching on a bright orange carrot, it’s hard to imagine them any other way. But surprisingly, the orange hue we know and love is a relatively recent development. It’s a testament to the fascinating interplay between science, agriculture, and our desire for visually appealing and nutritious food. The vibrant orange color of carrots is a result of both natural selection and human preference. Click the link to read more. #fromthebreeder #growingtogether #carrots
