Mountain Bounty Farm is a 15-acre family farm located high on the forested contours of the San
Juan Ridge near Nevada City, California. We grow an incredible diversity of vegetables, fruits and
cut flowers for our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program.
The farm is run by John Tecklin and Angie Tomey, who share a love for the land and a passion for
eating good food. Each year we welcome 5 interns to join our crew and share in the experience of
farming.

Diane Matthew has been growing raspberries, blackberries and garlic at her farm perched on the
east side of Mt. Barnabe for 16 years. Before she became a farmer, Diane was a nurse who had
always enjoyed gardening and figured she would just expand her garden. Diane also raises Navajo
churro sheep, Dominique chickens (for eggs), a couple of pot belly pigs and three very happy dogs
on her farm. Diane believes in the vision of many small farms producing for local consumption.

I grow many fruits, including the pluot (with which you are likely already familiar), the aprium
(apricot-plum) and the amazing periclum (peach, apricot, and plum together!). We are at a point
where technology and our sense of responsibility have finally made it feasible and necessary to go
organic, to invest in tomorrow with our farming practices.
