Our organic farm is set in a beautiful meandering section of the Merced River (flows from Yosemite) less than 2 miles from HWY 99. Our main crops are organic blueberries, walnuts, cherries, lavender and oat hay with some mini-plantings of persimmons, pomegranates. pecans and citrus. We'll replant almonds in 2011. Wild elderberries and black walnuts are available for gathering in season. Farm Tours and picnics can be arranged. The farm is designing itself along permaculture principles. Hedgerows and wildlife corridors are being planted with plants native to the Valley and California to restore habitat for wildlife, native bees and songbirds. The 2009 Pick and Gather happens the weekend after Memorial Day, May 30th & 31st, 2009, with the main Festival on Saturday and continued fruit-picking, organic breakfast and enjoyment of the river and your family and friends on Sunday.
