Green Gulch Farm
About Green Gulch Farm
Green Gulch Farm is a five-acre agricultural oasis located on the Green Gulch Zen Center in Muir Beach. Since all the farmhands are practicing Buddhists, a typical day here starts with the crew gathering at 5am to meditate. After breakfast and a short break, they're off to the fields by 8:30 and soon thereafter, the rumbling purr of the tractor and the sweet smell of biodiesel fill the air. Depending on the season, between four and twelve people will be in the fields each day and one of them is sure to be Farm Manager Matt Vivrett. Organically certified since 1985, this carefully-tended land produces an abundance of lettuces, potatoes, chard and green garlic. About half of what is grown here is sold at the San Francisco Ferry Plaza Farmers Market, and the other half is divided between Greens Restaurant in San Francisco and the 50-100 meals they serve each day at Green Gulch. Eventually, all the kitchen scraps from the practice center, plus all of those from Greens Restaurant, return to the farm and are made into compost, where they will be reborn as next year's crop.Near This Listing
