Mountain Mama's
is a Nursery, Demonstration Garden, Backyard Wildlife Habitat
and Sustainable Suburban Farm
 Mountain Mama's offers the very
best in FRESH, LOCAL, SUSTAINABLY GROWN and IN-SEASON PRODUCE.
It provides fruit to the "Eating Outside the Box"
CSA and to individuals by arrangement. Ask about the U-Pick
for Families alternative. To be added to the email list please
submit the form provided. As fruits ripen and plants are made
available for sale they will be posted on this site.
The garden features more than 35 fruit trees, canes and vines
including a number of unique varieties. Produce is grown in
a peaceful garden setting amidst numerous California natives
and plants from other Mediterranean-climate areas of the world.
Mountain Mama's was one of the first gardens to be certified
as a Backyard Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation.
It is a diverse garden with 400 species of plants represented.
The garden is maintained with the philosophy that nothing
organic leaves the site and nothing known to be toxic
enters.
