Borba Farms, rooted in Aromas for four generations, started with apricot orchards in the late 1800s. Ron Borba broadened into bush berries, apples, and squash. Since 1993, they've specialized in certified organic produce, selling at Bay Area farmers' markets in Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties.

Jose Nunez and his wife Lupe Arellano entered farming by growing avocados in his home state in Mexico. Long time area resident Jose worked for many years at Driscoll Strawberries, until he enrolled in the AlbaFarmers.org program. He proved his aptitude for farming by working a 1 acre plot lent to him by the AlbaFarmers program. After his graduation he acquired his own farming property in Gilroy, CA. He named his farm Tu Universo which translates to - Your Universe - which is what a farm is if you think about it. Their farm produces a wide variety of crops year round. They sell at farmers markets and also at their roadside stand in south Santa Cruz County.

Biodynamics is a holistic, sustainable form of agriculture developed out of a series of lectures given in 1924 by Rudolf Steiner, the Austrian philosopher, scientist, and esotericist. It is comprehensive in scope, taking into account everything from the cycles of the moon and stars to the soil, plants, animals and people. This approach allows a regenerative “farm organism” to develop over time which is in harmony with both the environment and cosmos as a whole. The resulting harvests of this farm organism provide foods and medicines that are truly nutritious and full of vital energies as well. It was the first ecological farming system to develop in response to the rise of synthetic chemical and specialized agriculture after the turn of the 20th century and reflects Steiner’s belief that in the future, humanity’s work with the land must become sacred. It is now practiced by growing numbers of advocates worldwide both on commercial scale farms and home-scale gardens.

Blue Heron Farms, located in the picturesque Corralitos, California, is a charming 18-acre certified organic farm. It's a place brimming with passion for growing a diverse selection of top-notch vegetables and beautiful flowers. The story of Blue Heron began back in 1985 when Dennis Tamura, inspired by his gardening studies with Alan Chadwick in the 1970s and his experience running the U.C. Santa Cruz Farm & Garden Apprenticeship Program, decided to start this wonderful venture. Today, it's a joint effort of Dennis and his wife, Lori Perry, along with an incredible team of hardworking individuals from Jalisco and Michoacan, Mexico. There's also a dedicated flower crew led by the experienced Kelly Brown, as well as a committed market staff. The farm is truly blessed with its idyllic surroundings – a cool climate, soft soil, and the company of live oaks and a diverse habitat with deer, bobcats, and coyotes. The work is undoubtedly demanding, but the Blue Heron family considers themselves fortunate to be farming on the beautiful Central Coast. Here, organic-sustainable farming is valued, and they have the privilege of connecting directly with loyal customers at farmers' markets, as well as serving chefs, grocery stores, and florists. It's a place where the love for nature and quality produce come together in perfect harmony. 🌱🌸
