History and Philosophy

Cloverfield Organic Farm is dedicated to regenerative bio-intensive agriculture, a practice that emphasizes soil health, biodiversity, and sustainable farming techniques. Located in El Sobrante, the farm showcases small-scale organic operations with meticulous attention to detail in producing high-quality products.

Farming Practices

Cloverfield uses organic methods certified by OCIA and the Real Organic Project. They focus on practices like hand-harvesting, open-air drying, and careful hand-packaging without pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. Their biointensive method nurtures crops in microbially-active soil to ensure robust plant health and productivity.

Offerings

Cloverfield sells a variety of organic products, including dried herbs like anise hyssop, Vietnamese coriander, and thyme, as well as unique items such as nopales cactus pads and elderberry cuttings. Their products are particularly prized for culinary and medicinal uses and are available for purchase online.

U-Pick and Visiting

Visitors can enjoy U-pick experiences for flowers and other seasonal produce, guided by a detailed fruit ripening calendar. Tours and U-pick experiences can be arranged privately, allowing guests to explore at their own pace. The farm provides a rustic yet enchanting setting for picnics and events, with organized seating in a scenic outdoor environment.

Unique Experiences

Cloverfield offers therapeutic interactions with Magic Ben, a healing horse, guided by experienced host Karen Rose. These sessions are designed to connect visitors with nature and offer personal therapeutic benefits. The farm also hosts special events like group tours and youth camps.
