About the Farm
Background

The farm takes pride in its certified organic produce and flowers, as well as its artisanal wine crafted from organic grapes.
Practices
The farm adheres to certified organic farming practices, ensuring that all produce and flowers are grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. This commitment to organic methods reflects a broader philosophy of preserving the integrity, stability, and beauty of the biotic community, echoing the principles of Aldo Leopold. The diverse crops and flowers are cultivated with care, intention, and creativity, fostering a vibrant and healthy ecosystem.
The Rest
Front Porch Farm participates in local farmers' markets in San Rafael and Healdsburg, offering seasonal produce such as green garlic in the spring, tomatoes and blackberries in the summer, and squash in the fall.
