Riverdog Farm
Guinda, CA
The “rule of threes” states that things that come in threes
are inherently more satisfying or more effective. That rule holds true when it
comes to Capay Valley CSA farms! Fully
Belly Farm, Good Humus Produce, and Riverdog Farm are just around
the corner from each other and promote similar bio-diversity and sustainable
farming practices. It’s no wonder they have so much in common; the founders of
Full Belly and Good Humus played a key role in mentoring Trini Campbell and
Paul Mueller of Riverdog Farm in Guinda, CA.
Riverdog is a certified organic mixed vegetable farm with
pastured pigs and chickens. The farm also offers organic melons, walnuts, and
almonds. Growing from 2 acres in 1990 to the 500 hundred-acre operation it is
today, took great skill as well as support from the community. Each week hundreds
of loyal customers pick up their CSA share, from Sacramento to San Francisco. Learn more about Riverdog’s CSA program here.
When asked about her inspiration to start farming, Trini listed
the usual motivations, such as working outside and growing healthy food for the
community. But Trini mentioned another important factor in her choice to start
a farm; providing a healthy, pesticide-free, environment for farm workers.
Loyal members like Riverdog Farm allow CAFF
to continue advocating for small-scale farmers and sustainable agriculture.
