Santa Cruz Farmers Markets

Flying Disc Ranch is tropical desert filled with a forest of date palms with a lush undergrowth of citrus of all flavors.

Hans hoped to focus his thorough knowledge into a service that he could provide to his community in order to share in and spread seafood appreciation for all of its many health benefits and limitless culinary making ecologically sound choices when it comes to selecting their seafood. In 2003 he found his niche at the local farmers markets, when he & Heidi began selling his own local salmon catch. They also then got licensing to be able to purchase fish directly from local hook-and-line fishermen. Since then they have grown to include 18 markets per week and now are also enjoying taking on additional ventures with their new CSS program and even doing Oyster Bar Catering at parties, weddings, festivals, and events.

Companion bakeshop is a welcoming community gathering space located on the westside. They offer live bluegrass music on weekends, monthly baking classes, bi-monthly parent education classes and a mandolin workshop series. Their space is also used weekly to host H &H fish CSA pick up, Live Earth Farm CSA pick up, Free Wheelin Farm CSA stand and Fogline Farm CSA pick up.
