Terra Firma Farm
Fruits, Vegetables, Nuts
Terra Firma Farm is a 200-acre CCOF-certified organic farm in Winters, California, that has been growing vegetables, fruit, and nuts year-round for over 30 years. The farm distributes their produce directly to CSA customers, stores, restaurants and wholesalers throughout the Bay Area, Sacramento, Davis, Vacaville and Winters. The farm includes a number of sites along the north and south banks of Putah Creek. Micro-climates and different soil types allow for the production of almost 100 different crops each year, including spring, summer, and winter vegetables as well as stone fruit, citrus, and nuts (pistachios and walnuts).
Farming practices at Terra Firma do not just follow the minimum standard set by organic certifying agencies. Rather, the farmers continually strive to practice ecologically sustainable agriculture that protects and builds the soil, provides habitat for wildlife, conserves energy and water, and produces healthier, more nutritious fruits and vegetables.
Terra Firma is also committed to providing sustainable employment and encouraging local economic development by providing full-time, year-round employment for their workers. By selling, packing and delivering their products themselves (adding value), they are able to offer a range of jobs that allow employees to move vertically as their careers progress.
