Our passion is to grow great produce and share flavors and varieties that cannot be found in typical grocery stores. We have over 150 rare varieties of heirloom tomatoes in our collection. All of the tomatoes we grow are heirloom and have wonderful characteristics worth preserving. The only hybrid tomato we grow is the Sungold cherry tomato. As required of all organic farms, we do not grow any genetically modified (GMO) crops on our farm.

Our apple varieties are all antiques that are no longer in favor and are rarely found for sale. We love our Cherokee Blood peaches, which were developed by the Cherokee Nation more than a century ago. We also grow the Cherokee Candy Roaster winter squash, also created by indigenous people.

We have 15 varieties of plums and pluots in our orchard, along with Blenheim apricots that we grafted from old Blenheim apricots in Fremont. We have regenerated multiple varieties of old apple trees that are found in Palomares, some of which are unknown varieties. Before the last Royal Anne cherry tree on the Manter property died (originally planted in 1923), we grafted scion wood from it on to new rootstocks and now have that genetic copy again growing on the farm.

We believe in caring for our land and growing under organic and regenerative principles. Our farm maintained organic certification by CCOF for many years, but in 2026 we made the decision to no longer be certified. We continue to grow in the same manner as always, but like many small farms of our size, we found the bureaucratic quagmire of certification to be so burdensome that we did not renew our certification.
