Farm Description:
    My farm has been in my family since the late 1800's and has always been a working farm. The farm is 180 acres and we grow 40 acres of conventional walnuts, and 2 acres of non-certified organic vegetables. This farm has lots of potential that we are just now starting to rediscover. The dream is to bring the entire farm back into full production like in the day of my great grand father.

Practices:
    We follow sustainalble agricultural practices that includes using lots of compost, cover cropping, the addition of natural fertilizer products like fish emulsion and oyster shell lime, and planting of hedgerows to encourage beneficial insect habitat. We start all of our own seedilings in our passive solar greenhouse and use crop rotation to boost fertility and supress disease and insects. One of most recent projects has been to increase habitat for natural predators of both insects and rodents. To achieve this we are planting the hedgerows mentioned above and building owl boxes and hawk perches near our fields. Working, watching, and listening to nature is our guide.

Describe your product specialties and highlights:
    Our CSA currently runs in the Summer only and the kinds of vegetables you can expect to recieve from our farm include: Tomatoes heirloom and hybrid Peppers all colors and shapes Cucumbers usually 4 varieties Melons at least 4 types we specialize in rare heirloom melons Watermelons Long beans Shell beans Eggplant usually both italian types and asian types Salad mix every week Mache in addition to salad mix in Spring Baby turnips Radishes Potatoes 2or 3 kinds often fingerlings Hardneck garlic Onions 4 or 5 kinds Green onions Shallots Mixed flowers every week Basil Mixed herbs Corn for much of the summer The above is a brief list more thing always show up in boxes depending on what looks good in the fields. A share typically contains 8 to 12 items. I do not yet have fruit as part of the share but, will often source some from other growers.

In addition to the farmers market produce is sold directly off the farm at our stand located at 2636 Spenceville Road Wheatland, CA.
