Mano Farm

We are a hand-cultivated, experimental farm on 1.3 acres of land in Ojai, California. We specialize in heirloom vegetables, medicinal herbs, and offer our produce through a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. We do not use chemical fertilizers, herbicides, or pesticides on our crops; we are “organic” in all ways, save official certification.

We are committed to the principles of regenerative agriculture, which promotes “all aspects of organic farming which build soils, limit synthetic pesticide release and curtail pollution and degradation of arable lands.”  We maintain our soil’s fertility through composting, crop rotations and growing our own fertilizers. This process allows us to add biomass and the necessary soil nutrients from our own land, thus circumventing the importation of unnecessary resources. We are committed to achieving “99.9 percent sustainability.”
