It has been a productive and hopeful week on the farm as we look toward the warmer months ahead. Our Nigerian Dwarf goats have officially begun their breeding season, and if all goes well, we’ll be welcoming a fresh crop of kids this July and August. This expansion of our "canyon crew" serves a dual purpose: the goats will play a vital role in our fire abatement efforts by clearing brush, while the new moms will eventually join our milking rotation to help us produce artisanal goat cheese later this year.

The landscape is also showing signs of a seasonal shift, aided by a much-welcomed day of rain that provided deep hydration for the soil. In the vineyard, the vines are just beginning to wake from their winter dormancy, and our greenhouse is bustling with life as we’ve started seeds for upcoming warm-season and quick-turn spring crops. We’ve also been busy getting more flower seedlings into the ground, ensuring our flower subscription members will have plenty of vibrant blooms to look forward to very soon. 

Our new tour dates are up on the website. We look forward to having everyone back on the farm!

Regenerative farming isn’t a trend for us. It’s the operating system of the land—an agreement with this ridge, this soil, this sunlight—that what we take must be returned with care, intention, and a sense of stewardship that stretches far beyond a single harvest. Healthy soil grows healthy food, and healthy food grows healthy humans. Everything begins there.

On these windswept acres above the Pacific, we farm without disturbing the soil. No-till isn’t just a technique; it’s a reverence for the microscopic universe beneath our feet. Intact soil holds life the way a good book holds a story—with structure, mystery, and endless potential. By keeping our soil undisturbed and never leaving it bare, we protect the networks of fungi, microbes, and minerals that feed our crops long before we ever harvest them.

Biodiversity is our compass. Instead of monocrops, our fields unfold like a mosaic—flowers tucked beside vegetables, herbs bordering fruit trees, cover crops threading between them. These living patterns invite pollinators, build resilience, and buffer the land against the wild swings of weather that now shape modern farming.

Our animals move through these landscapes as co-farmers. Sheep, cows, llamas, goats, and chickens rotate through our fields, adding organic matter, eating weeds, stirring fertility back into the land. Their presence keeps our soils breathing and alive, closing the loop in the most ancient way.

Because we are certified organic, our fields never see synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers. Instead, weeds are managed with rolls of cardboard and generous layers of mulch—slow, natural, and deeply effective. The result is soil that’s richer every year.

And regeneration isn’t theoretical here. It’s measurable. Our practices help sequester an estimated 150,000 tons of carbon and 4 million gallons of water, quietly repairing what industrial agriculture has broken.

This is the work that nourishes us. This is the work that nourishes you. And this is the work that keeps the land extraordinary for generations to come.
