Hi was wondering if you guys sell your fruit to the public. I live in San Clemente and was wondering if you let people come by to purchase fruit. Also was wondering there’s a way to get on an email list for your festival you have. Just watched a video on YouTube and the farm looks amazing.
I’m interested with your next festival. Please inform me.
