Tierra Vegetables Information

Tierra's vegetables are not dirt-cheap because dirt is not cheap. Our fresh, local, farm-grown produce has quality and value attached to it within a world that competes for fast, cheap, easy to buy and easy to discard. Nestled amidst a sea of vineyards practicing mono-crop farming, we pay our labor to nurture and plant seedlings individually and to weed by hand. Competing in a world of global goods and services driven by fossil fuels and vast energy investments, we strive to preserve everything from heirloom seeds to the soil with our own hands and ingenuity. Chemical fertilizers, pesticides and GMOs do not exist in this local ecosystem. Year in and year out we invest in the health of the land so it does not become exhausted and our food continues to grow strong, beautiful and flavorful thereby offering health and nutrition to our people, the people who rely on this land for their health and their livelihood. When you invest in the health of Tierra Vegetables, it is an investment in the value of your health and the health and well-being of your family. Take a moment to look at the satellite map of Tierra Vegetables, what do you see? You see an island of bio-diverse greenery, an open space, and an opportunity to obtain healthy and nutritious fruits and vegetables to feed your family. Valuable is the land that is not built upon, but remains available to absorb rainwater that percolates back into the soils and recharges the groundwater and aquifers beneath us. Valuable is the view of the historic white barn saved by us from demolition in the name of progress, and placed into functional reuse within our community. Valuable are the bees that roam our crops for the nectar of their sustenance alongside us. Valuable is your ability to visit these bees any day you come and visit us. Valuable is the green waste we divert from the landfill when we accept local materials for composting. "They pay their workers well and I want to support them."
