In addition to vegetables we have 1.5-acres of diverse tree fruit, primarily heirloom apples for cider. We sell our produce wholesale through the F.E.E.D. Cooperative where it is distributed to restaurants, retailers and corporate campuses around the Bay Area. Our dry goods and the cider we produce in collaboration with Belden Barns are sold primarily on-site and online to Belden Barns’ customers.
