Sustainable Farming with Tara Firma Farms


Green Scene Radio Show guest Tara Smith, Founder of family owned farm, Tara Firma Farms in Petaluma, http://www.tarafirmafarms.com inspires us with her story. She and her husband took their concern about quality food and turned it into a thriving community farm serving Marin and Sonoma County with REAL organic food.

After her son brought home a Michael Pollan book, Tara and her husband became consumed with the topic of where our food comes from and how is it grown and raised. After incessant conversation, their nine year old challenged them to do something about it or stop talking about it. Ahhh, the wisdom of our children!

We thank him for that, as Tara Firma Farms now thrives! Serving Santa Rosa, Petaluma, San Rafael, San Anselmo, Mill Valley, and San Francisco the farm provides a variety of meats and produce organically hand-grown, selected and delivered weekly to multiple drop-off spots.

Open to the public, Tara offers free Sunday tours 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. Visit and experience the joy of care-full community farming!

Tara’s big news – they are looking for young people in 30s with passion and love for farming interested in getting started with a farm. Tara Firma will help show the way and invest to make it financially possible. Interested? Contact Tara!
