About the farm
Fifth Crow Farm is a dynamic and diversified organic farm in Pescadero, CA. Founded in 2008 with a shoestring budget, a supportive local community, and ambitious dreams, we strive to bring eaters the highest quality, best tasting, and most nutritious food possible while creating a healthy, fulfilling, and fair work environment. We are situated in the Cloverdale Valley, 45 miles from San Francisco and 35 miles from Santa Cruz. We operate on 150 acres: 60 acres of row crops, about 5 acres of cut flowers, and a 35 variety apple orchard, a pear orchard, and a pastured egg operation consisting of 2 flocks of 350 beautiful ladies – all heritage breeds. We are committed to building an agriculture that is economically viable, socially just, and ecologically sound. To us this means stewarding our land in a way that not only respects but improves habitat for wildlife and builds better soil for future farmers. We are certified organic by CCOF and Animal Welfare Approved.
