Fruit: Feijoa sellowiana  Pineapple Guava, fruit   
Super-tasty fruits which are not viable for shipping to supermarkets - just for your back yard.

Pineapple Guavas are an ideal fruit tree for the Bay Area. Originally from the scrublands of Paraguay, Uruguay, northern Argentina and southern Brazil, these non-tropical, evergreen trees are drought tolerant (though they need water to set fruit) and virtually disease and pest free. They feature large, showy flowers with edible petals; dense, dark green foliage; plus delicious fruit to boot. The aromatic fruit is ripe when it falls to the ground. Fruiting season, depending on cultivar, is from late September to early December.

Pineapple guavas will grow to about 15 feet tall x 15 wide, but can be kept at any height or width by pruning. For a thick hedge, plant about 10ft.-15ft apart. Their dense foliage is ideal for screening out the view of your neighbors.

These seedlings were grown from fruit of 9 cultivars that I found to be the best tasting out of a selection of over 25 cultivars that were developed by our West Coast expert, Mark Albert in Ukiah. Mark has been selecting trees for Northern California that have superior tasting fruit for about 40 years.

The seedlings are from:

Albert’s Pride, early fruiting, late September
– October

Albert's Supreme, late fruiting, November
–early December

Chicken Feed  Local Organic non-GMO Chicken Feed   
Standard layer pellets for adult egg laying birds. No corn or soy means non-GMO is practical. Added vitamins, seasonings and herbs make this mix delectable and healthy for your flock. Young birds don't need the calcium in this mix and prefer ground pellets (crumbles). We could special order starter/grower blends but this is the basic adult egg-laying hen food you want. Fresh quality local organic feed makes for the best eggs, happiest chickens and a sustainable operation.

Sourced from Modesto Milling an old school local coop. Forget about Purina's 'Organic Pride' - you can't trust that.

Chicken Feed, Whole Grain Layer  Organic non-GMO Layer Chicken Feed   
Organic non-GMO ingredients, this product is intended to be fermented as silage for optimal nutrition with rich pro-biotics or ground fresh weekly. Once the seed is ground, it begins oxidizing so whole grain is the most fresh and healthy. Some flocks will be happy to crack the whole grains. Provide adequate grit in that case. Another way to increase the nutritional/cost value is to sprout the grains.

Lacto-fermenting is fairly simple; just cover with rainwater(1) or bottled water for a few days or aged tap water (a week or two to eliminate the chloramines) and allow the lacto-fermentation to convert the sugars into lactic acid while preserving and even increasing protien, vitamins and enzymes, improving digestibility: beneficial pro-biotics. The same as sauerkraut - easy and safe. In a few days the feed will smell like fresh sauerkraut and your chickens will devour it.

Use this exclusively and your chicken's shit won't stink, supposedly ...or use it periodically for a healthy treat.

(1) The sunflower seeds will float but you want to keep it all below water level to prevent mold with something like a French press coffee device. I cut some flexible plastic sheeting to fit a bucket with a rock strapped on top for weight and drilled holes for the filter.

Coir Erosion Control Fabric     
You want this light colored coir (coconut hull) material, not the darker brown jute which rots away in a couple months. Open weave is easy to plant small plugs into or pull open spaces for gallon cans. The thick mesh stops most silt runoff and slows velocity.

Firewood  Firewood   
Firewood bundles are 1 cubic foot California almond wood that burns at 33 mbtu/cord. Live Oak does 37 but costs more, may not be sustainably harvested and doesn't taste/smell as good for cooking. This is the same premium Lazzari boxed firewood you see at Whole Foods but those boxes are 0.7 cubic feet, 27lbs for $13, ours are a full cubic foot, 38lbs for $12. Lowes has .75 cubic foot bundles of fast burning Canadian conifer wood for $5.50 at maybe 20 mbtu/cord and 1 cubic foot bundles of fragrant smokey pinion from New Mexico for $10 at about 27 mbtu/cord.

We don't deliver, so you'll have to load it yourself for 1/2 cords, 1/4 cords & 1/8 cords. A half cord weighs 2,275lbs, somewhat more than a 1-ton pickup's capacity, many pickups are 1/2 ton capacity.

Here's a good reference for bbq woods and another. Here's a good data reference.

We also have lots of grape wood, which is fast burning, hot and forms perfect coals with exquisite flavor for barbeque. That's what we use for our famous smoked homegrown chilies. $12 for a 5 gallon bucket.
