Farm Description:
Our farm is situated in a vast area of wooded hillside in the Santa Cruz mountains. We are surrounded by oaks, firs, redwoods, and madrone. We intensively cultivate a little more than one acre which is protected by deer fencing and electric wire at the top of the fence to keep out the raccoons (notorious thieves, especially for melons). We have surrounded the farm with a wildlife corridor and we have several large ponds to provide water. We are completely solar opperated and consider the stewardship of the surrounding habitat and wildlife a primary concern.
Practices:
Because we farm in the rare habitat of the Ben Lomond sand hills, we grow entirely in raised beds. Our beds are dug three feet down, completely lined in half inch hardware cloth which is stapled to a redwood frame. We then backfill with one third native sand, one third compost, and one third composted horse manure. The beds are never walked upon, only turned by hand, and irrigated with drip hose. We practice crop rotation and fertilize with compost, fish and kelp.
