Terra Firma has nearly 30 years of experience producing high quality organic fruit and vegetables for its Community Supported Agriculture program. As a member of our CSA, you will receive a weekly box of fresh produce grown on the farm, with the option of adding on extra items in bulk. We deliver boxes to neighborhood drop sites throughout San Francisco, the East Bay, and Sacramento Areas.
What is Community Supported Agriculture?
The CSA was originally a model conceived in the idea that neighbors bought a “share” of the farm at the beginning of the season, covering the cost of seed, irrigation parts, compost, packing supplies, and the myriad of things that the farmer needed to get the season going. In exchange, the “share-owners” received fresh, seasonal produce from the farm on a regular basis. Over the years, we have seen this model evolve. There are lots of “CSA” programs out there that now offer customized boxes with delivery to your doorstep, but essentially aggregate produce from many different farms in a wide geographical area. We pride ourselves on growing the majority of our fruits, vegetables and nuts right here in Winters, organically, as well as providing year-round employment for our hard-working, skilled crews. Our produce goes directly from our farm to your pick-up site, and is usually harvested within a few days of reaching your plate.

What’s Growing at Terra Firma Farm
We farm a number of sites along the north and south banks of Putah Creek totaling about 200 acres. Microclimates and different soil types allow us to produce almost 100 different crops each year, including spring, summer, and winter vegetables, as well as stone fruit, citrus, and nuts (pistachios and walnuts). We have two distinct seasons here: dry and hot from May-October, and cool and wet from November-April. 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.
