January 2026 Cloverfield Organic Farm Update

January is the coldest month of the year at our farm. The days are beginning to lengthen, but frost can still occur until about the second week in February. It is the season to grow, and u-pick, hardy green vegetables and citrus fruits.

We open Cloverfield Organic Farm to the public every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 11 am to 4 pm. You can wander through our vibrant growing areas and farm shed and enjoy tasty treats as you go. Even in January, there is an abundance of potted nursery plants to you to plant, and delicious fresh vegetables you can u-pick into your harvest basket. Everything we grow is certified organic by OCIA and the Real Organic Project.

Farm U-Picking in January

We are holding our next Winter Organic Farming Workshop on Thursday, January 8, from 11 am to 2 pm. We invite volunteers, like you, to come help us with seasonal farm projects. Please email us at Cloverfield@gmail.com if you wish to join in the fun.

Fresh produce to u-pick in January include pea tendrils, arugula, kale, cilantro, collards, green onions, lettuce, parsley, red trumpet cabbage, komatsuna, mustard greens, Swiss chard, radishes, rau ram, thyme, rosemary, and other fresh herbs. January is not (yet) a big fruit season at our farm, but there will be a few ripe citrus fruits (limes, mandarins, etc.).

We sell packages of dried herbs and seeds, and Cloverfield raw unfiltered honey, in our rustic farm shed. Some packaged items we have available include organic Cascade hops, apple mint, fennel seeds, and catnip.

Our plant nursery has a wonderful selection of potted organic perennial plants, including several varieties of grapes, fig trees, mints, strawberries, artichokes, asparagus, elderberries, Peruvian goldenberry, rau ram, lemon balm, sheep sorrel, rhubarb, red-veined sorrel, spineless cactus, Inca lilies, wormwood, red currants, and Bababerry raspberries.
