Greenjeans Farm

A free radical farmers journey
(Potter Valley, California)

Happy New Year!

Happy 2011!

It’s hard to believe that nine years have come and gone since Greenjeans became Greenjeans!Each year has presented its challenges, and victories both large and small.We moved to this house and spent our first few weeks wading through waist high grass and tearing out ceilings.

We’ve met great neighbors and friends and enjoyed our customers! When we first broke ground, we couldn’t break it!Then there were the years of building the soil and finding more water. All the while painting and planning and building and knocking out walls.The year the guys from the football team stole our sign, and one of them brought it back to us.The year the portable greenhouses blew into the neighbors field!The year the green house collapsed on me.The year we built the two new greenhouses!Planting fruit trees waiting for that first sweet harvest.Meeting the frogs and birds and creatures that call our house home.Literally frogs in the bathroom!Standing in the garden and looking up to see a flock of geese flying so low they make you want to duck!Listening to the ducks telling jokes to each other.As Jeff calls it “Quaking each other up!” .Canning and freezing and canning some more!It just keeps getting better.And it doesn’t get any better than this.

This year our CSA will once again be in full operation.We’ll be offering vegetable starts in April and lot’s of ornamentals for your own gardens.We expect a great year and hope that you will join us on the journey!
