The farm owners are Andrew Brait, Judith Redmond, Paul Muller, Dru Rivers, Jenna Muller, and Amon Muller. With help from about 60 employees, the farm produces an

amazing diversity of vegetables, herbs, nuts, flowers, and fruits year-round. The farm also has a flock of chickens, a herd of sheep, a tribe

of goats, and several cows.

Comanche Creek Farms began out of a desire for the best tasting, wholesome, "picked at it's peak", produce for their own use. With experimentation, for the best varieties, the garden expanded to the point of supplying finer

restaurants in the local area. In 1997 they began supplying products all along the North Coast and to local distributors.

The location, just south of Chico, CA is nestled against the riparian habitat of Comanche Creek. The produce grows in the mineral rich soil of the Butte Creek alluvion fan.

Out of respect for the environment, they have adopted a constructive organic approach to their farming. With the knowledge that soil is not simply a means for anchoring plant roots and holding artificial fertilizers to provide

plant nutrients, they work with nature, recycling natural materials, and growing cover crops to maintain soil fertility. Of course they also only use natural methods of pest control. These complex workings of creation have been successfully sustaining life for eons of time, their organic cultivation principals closely follow those found in

the natural world.
