SMALL TOWN LIVING

Smaller towns often seem like they consist solely of shopping centers with big box stores and chain restaurants.  It makes the city girl in me want to cry.  Vacaville, CA is nothing to write home about... or so it may appear from the freeway.  There are two noteworthy treasures that inspire me to lead a conscious lifestyle and eat organic and local foods; live off the land if you will. Soul Food Farm and Morningsun Herb Farm (conveniently located just down the country road from eachother).

Soul Food Farm raises pastured chickens for both eggs and meat. Stop by and pick up a dozen fresh eggs or plan to attend one of their events that most often feature local bay area chefs in a country casual atmosphere.

If you aren't a gardener already, Morningsun Herb Farm will quickly transform you. They carry any variety of herb and plant that you could possibly want not to mention the farm is so lovely it is nice to stop by for a visit with or without a gardening project in mind. Like Soul Food Farm, they host events throughout the year as well as big sales on plants that seem to come with the change of the seasons.
