Our farm is as much about people as it is about produce. Our farm supports dozens of employees, some of whom have been with us since the beginning. They have been instrumental in making our farm what it is today.
We have been producing high-quality organic fruit and vegetables for our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program for nearly 25 years, and currently serve the San Francisco Bay Area, Davis, Sacramento, Vacaville, Benicia and our hometown of Winters. Our CSA members help to ensure the success of our business, and provide motivation for us to keep growing delicious, vibrant produce. Many of our subscribers have been with us since the beginning of the CSA; their kids have been raised eating our fruits and vegetables.
You can also find our produce at retail outlets like Rainbow Grocery, BiRite Market, Davis Food Co-op, Sacramento Natural Foods Co-op, Nugget Markets, online at Good Eggs, and on the menus of restaurants such as Chez Panisse, Terzo, Quince, and Zuni Café. If you are interested in becoming a wholesale customer, please contact us at sales@terrafirmafarm.com.
We currently provide food for about 1200 subscriber households farming around 150 acres of vegetables and 50 acres combined of fruit and nut orchards.
There are very few crops we can’t grow in Winters for at least part of the year, and the majority of the items in our boxes every week come from our own fields and orchards.
OUR COMMITMENT
Our farming practices do not just follow the letter of the National Organic Program law or the minimum standards set by our organic certifier, CCOF. Rather, in the spirit of the organic farming movement, we continually strive to practice ecologically sustainable agriculture that protects and builds the soil, provides habitat for wildlife, conserves energy and water, and produces healthier, more nutritious fruits and vegetables.
Terra Firma also has a commitment to providing sustainable employment and encouraging local economic development. We provide full-time, year-round employment for our workers. We employ roughly ten times as many people per acre as most farms in our region. By selling, packing, and delivering our products ourselves (adding value) we are able to offer a range of jobs that allow employees to move vertically as their careers progress.
