This is Sarah Smith.

We love her! She has had our back at the Farm Cart since we were two poor, scroungy farm kids standing on the corner of our small town exhausted from our everyday, early morning harvests, begging people to buy our produce. Well maybe it wasn’t that bad, but if felt like that to us, and Sarah had our back. She would drag her twin girls into our stand on a daily basis and pretty much buy us out. Sarah knows how to cook and she loves to eat delicious food.

So, when she invited us over for a back yard meal at her little sanctuary home in the avocado groves, we couldn’t resist. And like the super annoying people that we are, we brought our camera along to document her simple cooking magic.

And it was magical. Not only have Sarah and her lovely husband Aaron built an awesome little homestead, but they have raised great kids that insisted on entertaining and playing with our little monkeys all evening. Imagine, sitting and sipping watermelon margaritas while your screeching two year old was off frolicking happily with the older girls. It was pure magic. And the watermelon margaritas… Who knew that watermelon was a perfect compliment to tequila? Well, Sarah did. And we do now!

And that is why we love her. Because she has all of these little secrets and simple techniques that make everything so easy and delicious.

Did we mention that she’s also our favorite real estate agent. If you need an agent or want to know the secret properties not quite on the market yet. Or you just want to know what her secret fire cider recipe is, track her down on her new website www.lovecarpinteria.com and tell her we sent you. Because we want to send everyone to her!

Love,

Jason and Katie.

P.s. So sorry about sending home troubled peaches last week!
