Early in the season, we’re looking to include salad mix, arugula, chard, kale, lettuce, carrots, cucumbers, summer squash, broccoli, cauliflower, scallions, cilantro, dill, strawberries, flowers, peaches, plums, kale, basil, and garlic.
We’re growing the following produce that we expect to have ready for you August through November: Tomatoes, peppers, green beans, squash, beets, basil, pears, apples, parsley, lettuce, specialty greens, kale, cabbage, chard, salad mix, cucumbers, sweet onions, winter squash, and flowers!

About Our Farm and Farming Practices
Petaluma Bounty’s Community Farm is a 3-acre, educational farm located in the heart of Petaluma. As part of our mission to make healthy, fresh food available to all, we are growing 40 different kinds of delicious vegetables, herbs, and fruits.
We are an educational farm that is designed to be a model of ecological health. Our diversity in crops is our greatest strength against pest and disease problems and we maintain a soil preservation practice through compost additions, cover cropping and rotations.
Our mantra is that we grow healthy soil that feeds healthy plants that nourish healthy people. We never use synthetic fertilizers or pesticides, or materials not approved for Organic production.
