studiofil farm
The studiofil farm project began in Los Molinos, CA in August 2014. In September 2015 the farm relocated to the Fruitridge neighborhood of Sacramento. The project developed from my deep dissatisfaction with horrible Boston produce for the 18 years I lived there. Decided to finally leave the big city and pull a "Green Acres."
Mission:
- To grow sustainable, fresh, organic, nutritious, and extremely delicious food; what I refer to as Backyard-To-Belly, as opposed to Farm-To-Fork;
- In conjunction with the Colonial Heights Seed Library, to collect and share heirloom seeds for crops ideally suited to the Sacramento region;
- To donate excess harvest to Sacramento's River City Food Bank;
- To encourage and support others to do the same.
Available Harvested Seeds: Arugula (Pronto); Beets (Bull's Blood); Cilantro; Mizuna (Green); Onions (Stockton Red); Spinach; Turnips (Purple Top White Globe)
