About the Farm
Background
Located in the middle of the Rudolf Steiner College campus in Fair Oaks, California, this farm integrates raised beds, orchards, and pastures to create a harmonious agricultural environment. The farm is known for its diverse livestock, including sheep, cows, ducks, chickens, and bees, which contribute to both the beauty and functionality of the operation.
Practices
Biodynamic compost preparations are produced from medicinal plants grown on-site, emphasizing a holistic approach to farming. The farm employs biodynamic methods to cultivate vegetables, herbs, and some fruits, ensuring a sustainable and interconnected ecosystem. The presence of a flow form fountain and pond, along with flowers and beneficial insects, further enhances the ecological balance.
The Rest
The farm offers large and regular shares for its CSA members, providing them with weekly supplies of biodynamic produce. The serene environment of the garden adds to the overall aesthetic and tranquility of the Rudolf Steiner College campus.
