More about the farmers
Most of the farmers behind the produce are small family farms supported by the nonprofit Kitchen Table Advisors that is partnering with Tera Farm on this project.
Farmer Bertha and her family farm Magana Farm uses produce from their 9 acre farm when possible, but also coordinates with other farmers to aggregate produce as needed to offer you a wider selection. They also do the packing and delivery of the farm boxes. All sales are done under their online store and your payments go directly to their farm.
