Facilitating connection with land.

Green Valley Farm + Mill is a collectively owned 172 acres, located 20-minutes from downtown Sebastopol and home to a residents, small businesses, artists, makers, builders, growers, farmers and land-tenders. Located on Southern Pomo, Kashia, and Coast Miwok ancestral lands, we are nestled along the headwaters of Green Valley Creek, and surrounded by neighbors that have lived and stewarded this land since settlement.  Our onsite community is committed to ecological stewardship, education and vibrant, regenerative land-based enterprises.

Agroecology

It's all about carbon and diversity and relationships. Farmers Scott Kelley and Aubrie Maze use rotational grazing to sink carbon and encourage perennial grasses. Our dry-farmed-never-sprayed nebbiolo and grapes have sheep grazing seasonally for weed control and nutrient cycling. Farmers of grain and veggies and crops for seed are committed to diversity, increasing soil organic matter and organic farming practices. All of our efforts deepen our relationships with humans and non-humans alike.

farm enterprise

The East Mill is a food hub dedicated to supporting local food and farming. Onsite farms offer pick-ups for their CSA members (visit the “Farm & Land” page for more info on the farms who operate out of Green Valley.) The Marketplace offers extra local goods (some produced onsite, others a little further afield) from local meat to cold beverages, locally made clothing to herbal skincare and tinctures. Under the shade of the solar panel gazebo, are occasional hands-on workshops from seed-saving to broom-making.

community

With close to 20 people living on the land, over a dozen small businesses and five farms operating onsite, there’s rarely a dull moment on the land. We are currently in the process of restructuring our governance model to diversify our membership categories and deepen our commitment to collective land stewardship.
