About The Farm

Mountain Bounty Farm is located on the San Juan Ridge in the Sierra Nevada foothills, 20 minutes from Nevada City and Grass Valley. The farm is nestled in fertile fields at two sites that are less than 2 miles from the Yuba River. Our  “home” fields are just off of Purdon road and our newer large field is on Birchville road. 2012 is our 15th growing season. We grow a diverse mixture of vegetables and flowers for our 400+ member CSA program. We also participate in the Nevada City farmers market on Saturday mornings beginning in June.

The Crew

The farm is run by owners John Tecklin and Angie Tomey and 3 second year interns: Patrick Bolinger, Diane Ginney and Jeremy Mineau. We are fortunate to have this powerful team of farmers joining us for a second season. Additionally, CSA manager  Kathy Dotson, Harvest heroine Polly Maby, Delivery driver Jason Berger, and 5 new interns round out the crew this year.

Our Mission

We aim to provide a reliable local source of the highest quality produce for Nevada County residents, and to work towards the economic sustainability of our rural community. We also want the farm to be a place of inspiration and beauty, a place to reconnect to food and the joys of food culture. We hope that Mountain Bounty will be a farm to celebrate, a farm that you help create and sustain for the future.

Our Growing Practices

We use organic growing practices but choose not to be certified. We believe that our produce is much cleaner, fresher, and tastier than most certified organic produce available in stores due to our time-proven farming methods, clean well water, and remote location. We use tractors for initial cultivation of the soil as well as some weed cultivation. However, most of the work on the farm is done by hand.
