“Our menu is inspired by the many diverse cultures found along the Silk Road and beyond, spanning everything from everyday street food to the fine dining traditions of Samarkand.”

We had an impromptu lunch with Austin of @salinas_charreria_slo to check out what Uzbek and Eurasian cuisine Chef Conrad Karl was bringing to @downtownslo.

We were delighted with everything brought to the table Scallion Pancake, Uma’s Salad, Kebobs, and Manti with Meat. 

More to come from Uma’s!

    ☀️ Mornings are the heartbeat of Halcyon Farms (@h ☀️ Mornings are the heartbeat of Halcyon Farms (@halcyon_farms ). Six days a week, the work commences by 7am in the quiet of the dawn. It’s during this time that the berries are cool and firm, the greens crisp, the herbs fragrant. Each day presents a different list of farm maintenance activities. Some mornings are spent harvesting produce; others are dedicated to planting seed. Time-intensive crops such as green beans or carrots are harvested early in the week, while errands and school tours happen midweek or later. 

As the sun fully rises, it also allows the crew to observe how the produce is progressing and what it needs. By midmorning, the farm hums with energy. The farm stand opens to the community on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Customers can buy one of Halcyon’s harvest bags, filled with a curated selection of the freshest produce, often picked in the hours just prior. There are baskets filled with other produce, too, including seasonal offerings such as Swiss chard or delicate herbs. Their summer strawberries are a community favorite for their natural sweetness. Halcyon’s carrots are among the stand’s most popular items — and Ariela’s favorite crop to grow. “Carrots from a farm taste so much better than carrots from a store,” she says convincingly. “They’re just so different.”

The care for land and community doesn’t stop with the thoughtfulness and dedication of the farm crew’s harvesting hands. Halcyon is committed to organic, pesticide-free growing, which means their planting, maintenance and harvesting necessitates extra work. It’s slower, but the commitment to this growing style protects Halcyon’s carefully developed reputation with the community they are deeply embedded in.

    Whether it’s an entrée at a restaurant or a tastin Whether it’s an entrée at a restaurant or a tasting at a winery, the unpleasant fact is that prices increase over time. Few in the industry end up getting rich. Most do what they do simply because they love serving people, making exceptional food and creating memorable experiences.
