Farm Tour & Field Day at Fermentation Farm Acres

Fermentation Farm Acres is hosting its first official Farm Tour and Field Day on May 30 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in San Juan Capistrano. Adult tickets are $50.

The self-guided walking tour covers seven stops across the working farm, including the orchard, HAPA Honey apiary, compost station, in-ground crop rows, greenhouse and berry rows, before wrapping up with a picnic on the lawn of the Swanner House. Along the way, guests will learn how crops are grown, tended and harvested, and why small, local farms and the restaurants they supply matter.

Lunch, prepared by Fermentation Farm, and house-made kombucha are served at the conclusion of the tour.

Each adult ticket includes:

• Farm tote bag
• Honey tasting from HAPA Honey Farms
• One seedling to take home
• Seasonal field tastings throughout the tour
• Fermentation Farm lunch and kombucha

Adult lunch: Beet salad with choice of chicken or tuna salad. Kids lunch: Sandwich with chicken or tuna salad, chips, fresh fruit and a sourdough chocolate chip cookie.

Honey from HAPA Honey Farms and a selection of plants will be available for purchase on-site.

Ticket sales support the farm's continued growth and development. All are welcome.

Orange County Brand LYNKS Brings Style and Comfort Together

Orange County-based brand LYNKS began with a simple solution from a mother trying to help her daughter. Founder Lyn immigrated from Vietnam with big dreams and quickly faced the realities of long commutes, tight budgets, and shoes that never seemed to stay on her feet. Her mother came up with a practical fix using a simple elastic band, and that small idea eventually became the inspiration for LYNKS.

Today, LYNKS transforms that original concept into a stylish handmade accessory designed to help shoes fit more securely while adding a fashionable detail to your look. The patented “8 LOOP” design gently wraps around the foot for a more comfortable fit and works with everything from heels and flats to sandals and sneakers.

Available in prints, glitter, solids, and playful patterns, LYNKS lets you change the look of your shoes while making them easier to wear throughout the day. Each piece blends comfort, function, and style in a way that feels thoughtful and personal.

It is a smart idea with a meaningful story behind it, created by a local founder who turned a real-life challenge into something both practical and fashionable.

‘The Sound of Music’ Tour Brings Its Beloved Story to Costa Mesa

Segerstrom Center for the Arts is bringing the North American tour of "The Sound of Music" to its Segerstrom Hall stage from June 2 to 14, 2026, and if you have any affection for this story, this is one worth making plans for.

The production, directed by Jack O'Brien, the 2024 recipient of a Special Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Theatre, features Cayleigh Capaldi as Maria, fresh off a celebrated run in London's West End. She's joined by Kevin Earley as Captain von Trapp, the always-reliable Christiane Noll as the Mother Abbess, and a cast that includes Nicholas Rodriguez, Kate Loprest, Ariana Ferch and Ian Coursey.

All the songs you love are here: "My Favorite Things," "Do-Re-Mi," "Climb Ev'ry Mountain," "Edelweiss" and the title number, drawn from Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II's Tony, Grammy and Academy Award-winning score.

O'Brien, who reunited with choreographer Danny Mefford, music supervisor Andy Einhorn and the rest of his creative team for this new staging, said he's excited to see a fresh cast bring new life to a show audiences have cherished for generations.

Tickets start at $39 and are available at scfta.org, by phone at 714-556-2787, or in person at the box office at 600 Town Center Drive in Costa Mesa.
