Website Shared Abundance Farm
Farm History:
Shared abundance farm is a no till regenerative farm that prizes the creation of resiliency through diversity. Ruthanne bought the land in 1997 with the intention of creating a place of healing. It was in working the land, and in particular Ruthanne’s determination to co-create with the Earth rather than tame it through her will that kindled the desire to focus on farming. The inseparable relationship between the vitality of the soil, the energy of the plants and the taste and fragrance of the fresh ripe food made the viability of farming a clear direction.
Over the years, various fruit trees, native flowers, table grapes, herbs, and garlic were all planted. Today, the certified organic farm produces a bounty of vibrant and nutrient-rich food year-round, from the large winter crop of kiwi, to greens in the spring and a diverse array of summer and fall vegetables, and sprouts. No chemicals are used whatsoever, and there is a focus on integrative pest management.
Position:
Ruthanne is moving towards a new season of her life and is ready to pass the baton on to someone who shares her passion, love, and connection with the land.
