Good morning from the Valencian huerta, {nombre}.
Taking a break nowadays is harder than finding parking downtown on a Saturday, and I say that with my farmer's cap pulled down tight.
In the field there's always something to do, watering, clearing brush, monitoring the harvest, and when you think you're done, another task winks at you.
Even so, there's one detail that saves me from the hustle and bustle, and I'm going to tell you about it in confidence.
However, I'll tell you right now: all that work in the field has its reward.
As I was saying, what encourages me to slow down and enjoy is contact with nature.
Nature sometimes puts a hand on your shoulder and tells you: calm down. After a day of shoveling and planting, there comes that little moment when the earth tells you to stop and look.
You notice the color a leaf takes on at sunset, the smell of earth after the rain, the buzzing of bees that seem to follow their own schedule.
Being in touch with this is a privilege that money can't buy. And right in that silence appears my little secret, the one that reminds me why we do what we do.
One of my greatest luxuries is tasting what we sell at Campos del Abuelo, freshly picked from the plant. The first orange of the season is a celebration; it explodes in your mouth with vitamin and hope.
But today I confess my weakness, the strawberries of the season have arrived and they are truly special, the kind that reconciles you with the world.
As you know, {nombre}, we work with seasonal products and harvests are always limited. When the plant says that's enough, it's over, just like when your favorite TV series ends and you have to wait for the next season.
That's why every morning I check the orders and we only go out to harvest what you ask for, something unique here, so that it reaches you with the true flavor and at the fair price that we defend among all the farmers we work with throughout Spain 🍓.
If you feel like enjoying that moment of calm at home, the strawberries are at their best right now.
Here, we are already going out to harvest them.
A big hug and see you next week.
