Still basking and Basquing in the fruit, friends, heat, and hospitality after returning from our 5th annual invitation from nicole_rucker & Fat + Flour - it’s a grueling application process every year but somehow we manage to squeeze in an invite. All jokes aside, the opportunity to visit Masumoto Family Farms that have been passed down since 1948 following the return of their ancestors after internment during WW2 is a true testament to hard work and dedication that one can only hear as the wind whistles through the leaves in the morning, seen through the light reflecting off the long finger like leaves, and tastes as the juice rushes into your tastebuds.
