Our History
We began building Mesa Farm in 1996, but the dream began long ago. One of my earliest memories is of my Grandmother taking me to her garden and introducing me to the wonders of nature. By the time I was nineteen I knew I wanted an organic, sustainable farm. Twenty-five years later we were able to acquire the land here in Caineville and begin the work of building Mesa Farm and Market.
Sustainability became inportant to me in 1971 when I became acquainted with the magazine "Organic Gardening and Farming" published by Robert Rodale. Robert realized that sustainable farming was being swept away in the tide of industrialization and worked to foster the knowledge relevant to sustainable farming. A sustainable lifestyle is even more relevant today, and we are working to make our farm sustainable.
Our Logo
| Our logo is an ancient symbol found on the face of a sandstone wall near here. We believe the petroglyph symbolizes the connection that exists between spirit, plant, earth and water. We believe that it is important for us to remember and honor this connection even in these modern times. |
Our Mission
We will put good food into the lives and onto the plates of the people living in and traveling through our community. We will produce this food peacefully and sustainably.
