Zinc House Farm

Zinc House Farm farms according to organic principles. Soil health is maintained through composting, cover crops, and crop rotation, and vegetables, fruit trees, and cut flowers are grown without chemicals. Native plantings on the west side of the property provide habitat for owls and hawks, while insectary beds support pollinators year-round. Goats and chickens contribute to the farm's cycle through grazing and fertilizing. The San Joaquin Valley's growing climate supports a year-round harvest: cool-weather greens, citrus, and root crops in winter; peas, lettuces, and early stone fruit in spring; tomatoes, peppers, melons, and figs in summer; and pomegranates and persimmons in fall.
