Farm Fresh Produce
Due to COVID-19, SRJC Shone Farm is closed to the public. To keep students safe and ensure social distancing practices, we have limited staff at the farm right now. Due to that, we are ramping down our crop production this year. We will still have some fruit and vegetable production and much of that will be donated. We are also planting a lot of cover crop. This allows the land to rest while adding nutrients to the soil. A bit of a restorative break for us and the land.
CSA (Community Supported Agriculture)
After a decade long run, we have decided not to have a CSA in 2020. We thank everyone who has participated in this program over the past years. We truly all were a community, and will continue to be so, albeit in other ways. If you are looking for a truly local CSA, there are many options including Singing Frogs Farm, Tierra Vegetables, Coyote Family Farm, Petaluma Bounty, and the new local collaboration - the F.E.E.D. bin. The F.E.E.D. bin includes the best of the best produce from local small farms, all put together for you to pick up in a variety of locations weekly.
Seasonal Farm Stand: Currently Closed
In previous years, students in the Direct Farm Marketing class helped run a farm stand on campus during the fall semester.
Similar to other CSA options, there are many local year round Farmer's Markets in Sonoma County. Just a few include:
