The Farm is located "down in The Hollow", on the banks  of Mud Creek, with beautiful views of both mountain ranges and Mt. Lassen.  ( If you stand on the levee on a clear day you can see Mt. Shasta ).

Ours is a very diverse Farm, with not only many varieties of Vegetables grown, also Chickens, Goats, and sometimes a Pig or two. We also have a young Fig Orchard and few fruit trees.

We've always been an Organic Farm, certified with C.C.O.F. since 2002. In our fertility program we primarily use feather meal, bone meal, and mined sulfate of potash. We also use compost tea to stimulate soil micro-organism growth. In our tilth program we emphasize minimum tillage in our bedrows, and have no- till isles which allows for long term organic matter growth and greater carbon sequestion.

All of our transplants are grown here on site in two low-tech, low energy input, highly efficient greenhouses.They are built out of PVC pipe and have widthstood 80-95 MPH swirling winds!

All of our transplants are placed in the field by hand ( I loath heavy tractors and the compaction they create) or seeded with push seeders. Some crops are grown with plastic mulch and all are irrigated with drip irrigation.

Much care is given to the plants with weeding, mowing, irrigation -all done with Respect and Love.

Then when our Vegetables have grown to the peak of their perfection, they are carefully hand harvested and brought to you at the Farmer's Market or Local Natural Food Store or to our C.S.A..

What is CSA?

Community Supported Agriculture is a system that connects farms directly with the communities they feed. Each growing season, members pay a subscription and each week receive a box of produce from the farm that week. CSA connects farms to families, and families to the seasons by receiving Local, Fresh, Seasonal produce. CSA also helps Farms market their produce in a time effecient way, and any time saved for a Farmer is helpful.

Why should I join Pyramid Farms CSA?

Our Farm practices are designed to improve the heath of our soil, and conserve our natural reasources. In return you receive, Fresh, Local, Seasonal, Certified Organic produce.

Then the focus goes to prepping for Slicer Tomatoes, and Cherry Tomatoes. All this time I have many little chores to do, and lot's of tilling with the Tractor. It makes for some very long days, and working seven days a week. Last Sunday I was to exausted to even get out of my jammies, and today I'm taking Easter Sunday off so I don't run myself into the ground. Oh man what a bad pun, sorry. The blessing of the good weather is that I have alot of field prep to do before the soil dries to much. All in all despite the heavy work load of the season I'm in very good spirits.

Maybee optimism is one of the best tools a Farmer has.With all the ups and downs, and being at the mercy of the weather a positive outlook is handy and I'm blessed to have that tool.
