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.

This week’s report for the West region remarks that, “Water Year snow water equivalent values are historically low with not much in the way of time to make up the extreme deficits. Most of the region is still living off the benefits of good snows and water from last winter, which may help to mitigate impacts to some degree, but there are already concerns about water allocation limits during the upcoming growing season.” Also check out the state specific drought monitor, which breaks down drought assessments by county.
