There is plenty of gozo at Gozo Farm. That is JOY in Spanish and joy is one of the most dependable products we have. It is a shame that gozo is not more commonly found in gardens and farms. Gozo seeds are not difficult to procure but they can be a challenge to start. Once you get a little gozo up and going though it is very tolerant of most pests, can withstand dry periods, and can grow with a modicum of fertilizer. Folks never tire of a little gozo, even if its leftover. After gozo becomes a staple of one's diet, it goes with about anything. Actually folks crave it so much it is a wonder everyone does not have a patch of it growing close at hand. Grab up some gozo and get with the flow.
