The Natural Trading Co

Located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, this 40-acre farm has been a cornerstone of the local agricultural community for over 25 years. Known for its diverse offerings, the farm has grown from humble beginnings to supplying farmers markets, local supermarkets, co-ops, and restaurants across California. The farm's journey began with selling at the Tahoe City farmers’ market and has since expanded to managing it.

The farm adheres to organic farming principles, focusing on soil health and biodiversity. Crops range from apples to zucchini, including microgreens like sunflower greens, pea shoots, and wheatgrass. The farm employs crop rotation, composting, and natural pest management to maintain soil fertility and ecological balance. Workers are trained to handle the physical demands of farming, ensuring that the produce is grown and harvested with care and attention to detail.

The farm offers a variety of CSA programs throughout the year, including winter and summer boxes filled with seasonal produce. Customers can find the farm's products at farmers markets in Placer County and beyond, as well as in local stores and restaurants. The farm also provides opportunities for seasonal employment, inviting individuals passionate about organic farming to join their team.
