We are stewards of the land. We work hard to maintain harmony between the dirt under our boots, the animals that sustain us, and a lifestyle we feel proud of.
We love what we do.
We believe that great food doesn't start in the kitchen. Great food starts with warm sunshine, green grass, and clean water, then curated by the farmer who feeds the animal, nurtures the land, and harvests the bounty.
When food is raised as nature intended, a great meal is sure to follow.
Our pasture-raised heritage pork is GMO-free, antibiotic free, and growth stimulant free. With plenty of room to root and roam, our animals truly only have "one bad day.” We promise you the highest quality pork, raised with integrity and impeccable standards in humane animal treatment and environmental stewardship. Cheers to good food.
HOW IT STARTED
Rich Harris started farming with his three brothers in 2006 in Fort Jones, California, the small town in far northern California where they grew up. In 2012, Rich convinced his future wife, Niki, to move from high rise living in Portland, OR down to the farm and the two launched California Heritage Farms, a pastured based heritage pork operation.
We hit the road delivering whole and half shares from Portland to the Bay Area and quickly realized how much people were craving to connect with their food and contribute to a better food and agriculture system.
In the summer months you don't want to miss our 3 acre u-pick berry/flower/produce patch. All on the honor system, we have local goods available in our farm stand too.
In addition to growing the farm, we have been busy growing a family at the same time! Four kids in 3 and a half years has kept things crazy and fun. Oscar, Sam, Dutch, and Ada officially run the farm and can be found outside barefoot and dirty any time of the year.
U-pick strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, + flowers!
Open June-October 7 days a week 8am-8pm
