About the farm
Rainwater Farms is run by Emma Rainwater & Naomi Salama with our daughter Norah. Emma fell in love with farming as community service while in Americorps. Naomi is fascinated with intentional ecology and stewardship of the land. We married at a farmer’s market in 2015, and started Rainwater Farms in 2017.
At Rainwater Farms we make use of sustainable practices, permaculture theory, and elbow grease to intensively manage 1.5 acres of vegetables, fruit trees, and a small flock of laying hens for eggs. We farm with intention and respect for the ecosystems our farm interacts with, both above and below ground.
