For nearly a decade, Tierra Miguel Farm has been growing organic fruits and vegetables in Pauma Valley, one of the last pristine agricultural valleys in California. TMF’s many programs are designed to provide stewardship of this precious farmland as well as to create positive change to the human and environmental health of our immediate community.

Since their founding on February 14, 2000, more than 30,000 children and adults have participated in their programs. Their mission is to inform and educate on the value of local sustainable agricultural practices and to demonstrate these practices on our 85-acre working produce farm. They aim to strengthen the connection between people and the source of their food. With ecological sustainability and human health in mind, they choose to be CCOF certified organic and to use Bio-Dynamic agricultural preparations that restore harmony to the farm, heal the earth, and improve the nutritive quality of produce.
