FIREWOOD
We've got pallets of beautiful 13-stick boxes of seasoned euc and pine. We ask $10 per box. Can't beat the wood, the price, or the cause. Driving down LOVR, you'll see it just inside the ranch entrance nearest to Congregation Beth David and Foothill Blvd. Payment is via the honor system into the metal gizmo we put there amidst the wood. PUMPKINS Oh, they're coming. We're using a new field in 2022. We've tilled it and disced it. On a lark, we persuaded SA's two most incorrigible cityslickers to run the augur every three feet along the irrigation lines (We told them this would officially make them cowboys, to which they responded favorably). We've got a good variety of seeds to go in the ground in very early June, and we'll be excited to offer you a diverse bumper crop in September. Wine Barrels
We cut oak barrels in halves and sell full and half barrels. $35 for halves and $70 for whole barrels. You're unlikely to find barrels of comparable quality and at that price anywhere we can think of. We don't have many left, and we don't expect to replenish the barrel stocks. If you like oak wine barrels, now's the time and SA's the place. Cow/Calf Operation Sunny Acres owns a herd of cattle. Right now, we've got 14 head. As the herd grows, we send some every year to market with that income stream helping our recovery program. We sold 12 head in March for over $8000 but the check was sent to Dan DeVaul. Yes, the money would have been hugely beneficial to the program. Yes, those cattle belonged to a nonprofit and shouldn't have inured to the exclusive personal benefit of the same dude who applied to the IRS for nonprofit status. Sure, that's a financial crime. But we're talking about a folk hero. This is a man who has never wavered in demanding the simplest and most ancient of human freedoms: to live off the SSI checks and ceaseless labors of indigent people while basking in the admiration of the public. He represents something extraordinary! The men at Sunny Acres have learned that breaking the law has consequences. Perhaps folk heroes can't be troubled with pedestrian lessons like that one. They're focused on higher questions, like the one Dan pursues with each new person he meets: "So do you know who I am?" |
