ABOUT GREEN GIFT GARDENS
Green Gift Gardens is a family affair – a mother and her three adult children had a dream – to work on the land and work the magic of growing medicine. That dream is now a reality - the farm is nestled in the foothills and, due to the topography, has four distinct gardens which they call Midgard, The Shire, Mordor (really hot in that area) and Rivendell.
They are committed to regenerative outdoor organic methods and a symbiotic relationship with the land, the plant, and the people. They are OCAL organic and Sun+Earth certified and part of the Sierra Sungrown Co-op.
THEIR MISSION
Their mission is to create mindful medicine and promote healing through organic, sustainable and regenerative farming practices. They are dedicated to protecting the environment while providing the highest quality product to the consumer.
