About Our Farm

Mano Farm is a 1.3 acre certified organic seed, vegetable and herb farm located in Ojai, California. We farm year-round, emphasizing the use of human labor and hand tools. On-farm apprenticeship, interns, and work trade opportunities are primarily available through the WWOOF-USA network. We offer Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) memberships to residents of the Ojai Valley and sell our seeds through our sister company, All Good Things Organic Seeds. We are also proponents of food justice, a movement that seeks to increase the availability of nutritious, healthy food to low-income individuals and families. Low income and fully subsidized CSA shares are available, and we also accept EBT/SNAP (food stamp) benefits for CSA payments. Contact us for more details.

Monsanto after hearing oral argument on January 31st in Federal District Court in Manhattan. Her ruling to dismiss the case brought against Monsanto on behalf of organic farmers, seed growers and agricultural organizations representing farmers and citizens was met with great disappointment by the plaintiffs.”

    This is a picture of our purple sprouting broccoli (Brassica oleracea) forming seed pods. It was taken about a month and a half ago. This week we’ve been placing bird netting over the plants, as the birds seek out the seeds right as they’re maturing — unsurprisingly we all want them at the same time.
