Good morning from the apple orchard! #galaapples #sheep #grazing #livestockguardiandog #freehandfarm

Dispatch from the potato patch! Here’s lookin at you @sacfoodcoop 🌿🌿🌿

Apples! Our galas got a nice #glowup this year and are all bushy with spring growth. Here they are getting their first irrigation of the year. #🍎 #organicfarming #eatlocal #applehill #organicfruit #applepie #organicorchard #appleorchard #futurefruit #spring2020 #flyingvfarm #flyingvfarmers #foothillfarmers #placerville

Time to mow the lush cover crop in preparation for the growing season. This winter/spring weather has encouraged really great growth in our cover crop. Now it’s planting season! #flyingvfarm #localfood #organicfarm #sacfarm2fork #applehill #foothillfarms #buylocal #supportsmallbusiness

Greenhouse is filling up!

Very excited to host these lovely ladies from Free Hand Farm! For the next month theyll be eating down thick mats of grass that have taken over the irrigation system and cleaning the orchard floor of fallen apples. Very thankful to have these hungry sheep and thoughtful shepherds on the job! #freehandfarm #contractgrazing #holisticmanagement #farmercollaboration

our story

Flying V Farm is a worker-owned cooperative farm in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. Together, we work to produce food in a way that nourishes our community, stewards the land and empowers workers. Through the success of our business, we strive to advance worker-ownership in agriculture in order to build a more socially and ecologically just rural economy.

Our founding members formed a steering committee in 2016 that set out to create a business model that is owned and operated by the workers themselves. We operate in a cooperative governance structure, which means that all worker-owners have equal ownership in the business. Within this structure, we designate management roles and strive for a productive, balanced, and respectful work environment.

Today, our member-owners include Cody Curtis, Grayson Curtis & Lucy O’Dea. We provide high-quality, reliable produce to our local and regional community. Please contact us if you are interested in buying from us, hearing about our farming and business practices, or just want to chat about sustainable farming!
