Spring is in the air and the garden beds are bursting with fresh new growth at Cloverfield Organic Farm. Our garden beds are filled with delicious items that may tempt you. We have our organic plant nursery well-stocked with potted grapes, elderberries, strawberries, rhubarb, asparagus, red currants, figs, and several different herbs and edible ornamentals.
We are hosting our next Spring Volunteer Day and workshop on Thursday, April 16. Everyone is welcome to join in the fun!
Organic crops to be u-picked at the farm in April include kales, mustards, chard, green onions, fenugreek, parsley, green garlic, garlic chives, fava beans, lemon balm, lettuce, cilantro, ginger, rhubarb, beets, bay leaves, Makrut Thai lime leaves, Greek oregano, chamomile, absinthe wormwood, motherwort, epazote, German thyme, asparagus, komatsuna, pak choy, mint (apple, chocolate, orange, & strawberry), calendulas, borage, nettles, arugula, and fennel. Towards the end of April, and in the weeks ahead, we hope to have some ripe strawberries and elderberry blossoms.
We sell our dried herbs, a few seeds, and our raw honey in the farm shed.
Fruit trees that bloom in April include Hawthorn, Apples, and Pears. They make a pretty sight!
Our farm also makes a unique location for a private tour, therapy horse interaction, picnic, field trip, or other event that can be arranged ahead of time. Booked times and special events and services can be reserved on our website.
We sell batch quantities of Cloverfield Soil Mix, organic compost, wood chips, and our Magic Mix Organic Fertilizer. Bring your pickup or totes and load up on wood chips that you can use to mulch around your garden.
Cloverfield Organic Farm is located at 501 La Paloma Rd., El Sobrante, CA, 94803. Our regular open hours are Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, from noon to five. We have free parking and there is no entrance fee during our regular open hours. We accept a wide variety of payment options, including cash, EBT, credit and debit cards, digital payments, and Venmo.
