San Diego Organic News

Hi Organic Food Fans,

A few months ago, I was give the opportunity to walk the fields of Suzie's Farm in San Diego. They were very excited about a Chef in the Field! I was amazed by the many different types of produce they are growing. More importantly is the Spirit of the Farm. They want to know the people they are growing this wonderful produce for.

About Suzie's Farm

Suzie's Farm is many things to us - it's owners and operators, Robin Taylor and Lucila De Alejandro. Primarily, it is an example of a way to live. Suzie was a dog that was dumped here in the Tijuana River Valley. She was a purebred Norwegian Elkhound, but for whatever reason, that wasn't enough reason to keep her. Nor was her intelligence, her grace, her bravery or her resourcefulness. We have a farm adjacent to what is now Suzie's Farm - the area where Suzie was abandoned. She found her way to our farm and eventually to our home. Suzie taught us to live at peace with the world, to get back up when you get knocked down, and to know how to be present and available when opportunities present themselves to you. Plus the pooch knew how to eat!

When the property that is now Suzie's Farm, became available to us, we grabbed it. We knew we wanted to grow real food for real people in a traditional way, but this is a huge experiment for us. We've always gardened, and have operated Sun Grown Organic Distributors for 25 years, a sprout and wheatgrass farm, but have never taken on anything of this magnitude. It is thrilling and daunting.

But when the breeze blows up from the river and rustles through the acacia trees, we know that the spirit of Suzie is near and guiding us. Hopefully you will feel it too.

Welcome to Suzie's Farm.
