A regenerative no-till farm located in the mountains above Napa Valley, California.
Soil is the most important living being on our farm. Our approach to building soil life is through no-till methods. These methods emphasize disturbing the soil as little as possible and feeding it with organic compost to suppress weeds, build fertility, and improve soil structure. In doing so, the soil life is able to thrive and support the growth of fruits and vegetables for us. We’ve realized once we step back and listen to nature, the garden is capable of providing itself with everything it needs in order to thrive.
Our farm is the site of all of our hands-on workshops, classes, and teaching tours aimed at demonstrating how to grow healthier plants by working with natural cycles.
is a husband, wife, and daughter team growing on one acre above the Napa Valley in Northern California. Beginning in 2019, the farm has grown for farmers markets, chefs, restaurants, and most importantly the local community- our bread and butter. We strive to grow not the most, but the best. Our focus on regenerative methods create an ecosystem we love to share. If you are interested in a tour, educational workshop, or farm products please contact us here
Our Farm
Regenerative Principles
Many growers are trialing and experimenting with new and exciting farming methods making regenerative agriculture hard to define. There is no one way to do it, which makes it even more appealing. Often times farmers look for the holy grail when it comes to growing methods or standard operating procedures, but with regenerative agriculture natural cycles are key. With innumerable variables and nuances happening all the time, it is hard to try and control it. One thing is certain-soil is life. Soil is the base layer for our civilization. Everything comes from it and will eventually return to it. Throughout the course of modern farming, our soil and its ecology has been damaged, but not beyond repair. Regenerative agriculture regenerates the broken cycles and allow nature to do what she does best. By setting our sights on the thriving life in the soil, we are better able to understand its role in farming and our responsibility in stewarding it.
No-Till Methods
No-till is a method of practicing regenerative agriculture. There are important pillars to no-till vegetable cultivation which aid in the creation of soil life, improve its vigor, strengthen its health, and reenforce its resiliency. All of which translates directly to plant health. No-till farming or gardening means quite literally to farm or garden without tilling the soil - keeping the native soil structure undisturbed and in tact as much as possible. In doing so, soil texture and tilth improves, water retention increases, fertility strengthens, leaching and erosion is limited, and weeding is a thing of the past. The creation and subsequent cultivation of vegetables beds rely on an organic compost mulching system. Laying organic, good quality compost on top of beds to plant directly into creates the conditions necessary for strong roots. Organic mulches for pathways, borders, and beds feed the soil life so they are able to do the heavy lifting for us. Too good to be true? Often times the simplest solutions are the ones nature intends on providing for us.
