About Us

Our Story

Sprouting on a 1/10 acre in Pasadena in 1985 our regenerative urban family farm has supplied our local community with fresh, local produce, herbs and edible flowers. Our farm space also provides opportunities for schools and individuals to engage in hands-on learning through our many educational programs.
