Visit our Nursery & Farm
We’re open every Saturday & Sunday from 10am - 4pm (April 5th - June 1st)
This Spring, we invite you to visit our farm, explore our land, picnic by the lake, and of course, pick up all your garden plants. During our nursery hours we will be opening up our space to the public. Feel free to make a day of it. In fact we really hope you will!
Learn more about our space and plan a day to escape the city and recharge back in nature!

The Farm.
Our small but mighty 1/2 acre farm is where we grow all our South Asian & SSWANA seeds that we offer online and in our nursery. In Winter and early Spring, our farm is cover cropped with peas, bell beans, mustard, clover, daikon and other native and non-native species. We start our farming season in mid-April and by late-July our marigolds are in full bloom, okras are abundantly producing and all our rows are filled in and flowering. By Fall, we are busy harvesting vegetables, saving seed and spending time sitting and learning from our plant kin.
The Land.
We operate our nursery and farm on a 230 acre regenerative and organic livestock farm on unincorporated land in Sonoma County (South Petaluma). This land is on Coast Miwok Territory - their spirit still remains strong amongst the large oaks and rolling hills. Our irrigation pond doubles as a lake and swimming hole in the summer while the numerous dirt paths and roads make way to unobstructed views of Marin County to the South and Sonoma County to the North. Depending on the time of year the rolling hills are either lush green or dry to the bone but either way you will see cattle grazing, hawks and vultures overhead, and the tune of red-winged blackbirds wherever you are on the land.
The Nursery.
Our nursery carries all open-pollinated, mostly heirloom vegetable, herb and tree plants that are culinarily, medicinally and spiritually important to various cultures and communities around the world. Our heritage plants represent the people and places in the world that are systematically oppressed by the imperialist forces of the global north. By providing these plants we hope to improve food sovereignty amongst these diasporic communities here in the Bay Area. We aim to provide the knowledge and resources to grow your own culturally important foods, start informal food sharing circles and save seeds from our open-pollinated plants.
