$1/pound of tomatoes!?

From campus!? This is why UC Davis is the best 🤩

**This footage was from a previous U Pick event that was put on by the UC Davis Student Farm. It was our first time out here so apologies we don’t have more info. We will try to make a follow up post with more details. Check out their website or socials in the mean time if you’re curious, as that’s how we found out about this!

Davis really has it all 🥹

Sometimes we forget how lucky we are to live here.

Please don’t fact check any of this.

We love you, Davis. ❤️

40 minutes!?

That’s all it takes to go from Davis to Napa 🍷

It’s kind of crazy when you think about it. People fly in from all over the world to visit Napa Valley, and for us it’s close enough that you can go after breakfast and still be home for dinner.

We’ve done exactly that.

Grab a tasting at a winery, drive through the vineyards, spend a little time walking around downtown Napa, stop by Oxbow Public Market for lunch, then head back to Davis before the day is over. It honestly makes for one of the easiest day trips around.

A couple fun facts while we’re here:

Napa Valley is home to more than 400 wineries, and despite producing less than 5% of California’s wine, it’s known around the world for its quality. It’s one of those places that almost doesn’t feel real until you’re driving through it.

We also love that you don’t have to be a wine expert to enjoy it. Some of our favorite trips have been just walking around, finding a good place to eat, and taking in the scenery.

Living in Davis means you’ve got places like Napa, Tahoe, Bodega Bay, and San Francisco all within reach. It’s one of those things we probably take for granted until we stop and think about it.

Not a bad place to call home 🍇

We were invited to film this and it was sick!

This time we joined the City of Davis Fire Department for training inside a house at the old Hibbert Lumber property in Downtown Davis.

Getting to follow the crews inside gave us a completely different perspective on how firefighters navigate a structure with limited visibility, communicate with their team, and make decisions when conditions can change incredibly quickly.

There’s so much training behind what these crews do when an actual emergency happens.

Huge thanks to the Davis firefighters for letting us tag along again. We have even more respect for the job than we did before.

Check out the UC Davis Natural Dye Garden 🌱🎨

We’ve known about this spot for a little while, so we were excited to finally stop by and take a closer look.

The garden is dedicated to plants that can be used to create natural dyes for textiles and other materials. Different plants produce different pigments, making it a really interesting combination of horticulture, art, and sustainability.

It’s a small garden, but once you know what the plants are being grown for, it makes walking through it a lot more interesting.

Another cool little corner of UC Davis that’s worth checking out! What are we still missing? 🌱

7.1/10 - we’re not in Kansas anymore!

The bun was toasted nicely, the mustard and sauerkraut added a nice acidity, and the vibes couldn’t have been better. In the middle of New Yahwk Citay! Doesn’t get better than this.

Looking for other classics and recommendations! Don’t be shy, drop ‘em here!
