Our Produce
Terra Firma has over 15 years
experience producing high quality organic fruit and vegetables for its
Community Supported Agriculture program (CSA). At most times of
year, we are harvesting and packing a wide variety of seasonably
available items from our fields. We use survey data and feedback
from our subscribers to determine "what" and "how much" people want to
get in their boxes each week. Our produce was also subjected to
rigorous testing by shoppers in Davis, Berkeley, San Francisco, and San
Rafael during more than a decade of sales at farmers markets. We
also grow produce for retail outlets like Rainbow Grocery in San
Francisco and the Davis and Sacramento Natural Foods Co-ops, as well as
restaurants such as Chez Panisse, Oliveto, Quince, and Zuni.
We take the responsibility of feeding our
subscribers seriously. While we are continually evaluating new
crops and new varieties on our farm, we will try to fill our CSA boxes
with items that we are sure our subscribers want to eat. Tomatoes
are a perennial favorite, and we have one of the longest tomato growing
seasons of any farm in Northern California. Our strawberries are
another popular item, despite an often short season. Others might
surprise you: subscribers rave about our winter-grow cauliflower,
tender and sweet, as well as our garlic with its extra large and juicy
cloves.
