About The ReFarmery
The ReFarmery is a small sustainable farm in Sacramento County. We produce fruit, vegetables, herbs, flowers, bread, eggs and poultry for our weekly CSA, local farmers markets, and our roadside (and online) farm stand.
In 2009, the future home of The ReFarmery was a small, neglected rectangle of land. Ill-placed trees and aging fence posts punctuated long stretches of Bermuda grass and foxtails. Years of suburban-style landscaping had eroded the topsoil, creating a patchwork quilt of exposed clay pan.
In the years since then, we have dedicated ourselves to the thoughtful stewardship of the land, and have been rewarded with a healthy crust of earth forming beneath our feet. We have replaced pesticides with natural predators and hand-cultivation, and have been rewarded with choruses of frogs every evening and with bees and butterflies that visit our gardens daily.
We avoid herbicides with the aid of livestock (bunnies love broadleaf plants, geese love grasses), and through non-polluting practices such as sheet-mulching and occultation. Our priority is to encourage and preserve biodiversity on our little farm. We find great value in the use of native plants to support a healthy ecosystem.
