The days are getting longer and there is a bit more sunshine to get our farm's crops and fruit trees to put on lush new growth. It is a beautiful time to come out to Cloverfield Organic Farm to enjoy the green fields and flowers that are abundant this time of year.
Items we have in abundance to u-pick in March include mustard greens, fenugreek (aka methi), arugula, fava bean leaves, and California bay leaves. We should also have some kale, collards, komatsuna, parsley, cilantro, green onions, beets, Swiss chard, pak choy, pea greens & tendrils, thyme, green garlic, radicchio, rosemary, wormwood, Greek oregano, sheep sorrel, catnip, stinging nettles, lemon balm, and mint. At the end of March, there might be a treasure to find of tender new asparagus sprouts.
Cherry blossoms in early March, for example, are a feast for the eyes and promise sweet fruits to be u-picked later in the year.
Organic flowers that can be u-picked in March include calendulas, borage, calla lilies, violas, cornflowers, and daffodils.
Please come visit Cloverfield Organic Farm and u-pick what brings you joy and sustenance from our garden beds and orchard. We are located at 501 La Paloma Road in El Sobrante, California. We have free parking. Our open u-pick times are Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Hours are 11 - 4 in early March, and after we switch to Daylight Savings Time our hours will be noon to 5. You don't need a reservation and we accept cash, cards, Venmo, and EBT.
