PASSIONATE ABOUT PRODUCE!!

We are passionate about helping our customers grow their own fruits and veggies. We believe everyone can grow a portion of their produce needs if not all of them. Even if you live in an apartment or small house with a small yard. The health benefits are a huge part of growing your own food, but there is also a considerable benefit to the enviroment. We want to help you learn how to grow, compost, and preserve your own fruits and veggies. We will have classes on vegetable gardening, composting and canning through out the year. If you are not able to attend a class , we are always available to help you and answer your questions when you visit us. We would like everyone to consider composting their garden and green waste. Composting reduces landfill waste and it will produce great nutrient rich soil to add to your garden beds. Learning to preserve and can your fruits and vegetables allows you the opportunity to enjoy tasty treats from your garden all year long. It is a full circle, from garden to pantry, and we are very, very serious about helping all of you have a successful experience. Please come to one of our classes or visit us with your gardening, composting or food preserving needs!!

FRESH FOOD DONATIONS

We will be taking donations of fresh food from your gardens and fruit trees every weekend through the growing season. I will make weekly deliveries to a local soup kitchen and the Yuba Sutter Food Bank. We want to share the wealth form our gardens that usually produce more than we can eat. We would love your extras too!
