A
bby Sayler's dream of creating a "state of the art"
community farm for the use and benefit of her
valuable customers and the community-at-large,
is now becoming a reality. In November, we will close
on our property (6+ acres) in the beautiful Lutz area,
which was chosen because of its rural environment,
while still convenient to most of the Bay Area.
e property is uniquely qualified for our organic raised
gardens, having only one owner/user/occupant for the
last 70 years. Specifically, we know exactly how the
property has been used and the treatment of the land
(soil) for an incredibly long time. Abby has engaged her
long time friend, Rick Martinez, (Sweetwater Organic
Community Farm, Founder) to assist and consult with
us as we launch this exciting initiative.
Because of her love for farming, outdoors and eating
healthy, many years ago Abby actually worked for Rick
as he was starting Sweetwater. We are told there are
pictures somewhere with Abby driving a tractor out at
the Sweetwater farm.
As most of you know, Abby enjoys an unquenchable
appetite for learning and sharing her knowledge with
