Our Story

Hello, we’re so glad you’re here!

We’re Rose, John, Milo, and Georgia, a family bound by our love of growing things and spending time together in the garden. Our journey started over 20 years ago, back when we first began dating and discovered a shared joy in planting seeds and tending plants side by side.

What began as a simple desire to grow our own food has blossomed into a daily rhythm we treasure, digging in our sandy soil, chasing our chickens, and learning something new with every season. Every flower, egg, and vegetable you find at our stand has been grown or raised by our own hands, right here in our garden.

Feeding our family with fresh, seasonal food has always been our first priority. Over time, our garden has grown beyond what we can use ourselves, and we’re so grateful for the chance to share our surplus with our neighbors and community. Your support helps us keep the garden thriving and our dream alive. Thank you for being part of our story.

Our farm stand may be small, but it holds a big place in our hearts. It represents years of dreaming, experimenting, and working together as a family. Whether you’re picking up something fresh for dinner, choosing a bouquet to brighten someone’s day, or simply pausing to look around, we hope you discover a little joy here.

Please feel free to send us an email to say hello or share what you’ve created using something from our stand. We love hearing from our community and being part of your seasonal table.

Thanks for visiting,

Rose, John, Georgia and Milo

FERTILITY

Beyond “Organic”  ♥︎  Grown with Love

In our garden, we are not “certified” yet we go far beyond USDA organic standards. We’re proudly no-till and committed to building living soil through sustainable practices. This is our garden and this is the food our family eats. 

Our fertility program includes:

  • Cal Poly Organic Compost (balanced N-P-K)
  • Organic Langbeinite (phosphorus boost)
  • Organic Bone Meal (potassium boost)
  • Composted Chicken Manure (nitrogen boost)
  • Actively Aerated Vermicompost Tea (soil microbiology boost)

We never use synthetic chemicals, ever. For pest management, we rely only on garlic juice, Safer Soap, bacillus thuringiensis and spinosad. All our weeds are removed by hand or hoe, keeping our garden, home  and produce clean and healthy.
