Howdy! It's Been A Hot Minute -

Rainbow chard, but make it electric. ⚡🌈

It's been a pretty strange year...

An unusually wet winter led to later-than-usual spring plantings. Unpredictable summer temps have thrown tomatoes, peppers, cukes, and zukes for a loop.

As farmers, know-how only gets you so far. There's a fair amount of trust and surrender, too. Freshly-prepped beds are the clean slates that promise something better is around the corner.

To what's to come! 🚜

Spade & Plow February Newsletter - https://mailchi.mp/22a0b76749ae/spade-plow-february-newsletter

As many of our fellow Bay Area farm neighbors have, we’re seeing the effects of a mild 2021 summer and an onslaught of heavy rains earlier this winter. Some crops are slower to come on, while others (hellO romanescO!) are coming in hot this February. Timing has been a little off, all around. Some...

And just like that, another year ahead of us on the pack line.

The days go by slow (especially in the cold, wet of winter!), but the weeks and months fly by.

Hard to believe what we've grown together these past 7 years. What we've packed across these 50 feet, time and time again. It all started here.

Your CSA membership has helped launch us into some incredible markets, restaurants, and tables over the years, and we are so grateful for the hands we've shaken, smiles exchanged, and support we've received. We're eager to continue to grow with you and your families.

If you're new to us, welcome!
We're Spade & Plow, a 100 acre organic farm in the heart of Santa Clara County.

Stay nourished.
Stay hungry.
The best is yet to come.
🤜✨🤛

*CSA Membership is currently open on our website. Thanks for bearing with us through the wild winds of the pandemic.

Our Story

Mike and his two sons Nick and Sam first got the idea for Spade & Plow after working several years in big corporate ag. Managing large thousand plus acres farms, large sales teams, and gigantic distribution coolers.

"We were all tired of the corporate way, and we new it could be better."

It started with an idea of connecting the consumer directly to the farmer, and growing the best tasting varieties of organic fruits and vegetables for the South Bay Community. They saw the threat of development and the disappearing farm land of "the Valley of the Heart's Delight" and wanted to preserve it.

Spade & Plow Organics got it's start in 2015, after finding 10 acres to lease in San Martin, CA. They worked the land, watered, weeded, and planted their first seed without a clear idea where our first harvest would go. But with an intention of sustainability, the Thorp family decided to create fresh, clean, certified organic fruits and vegetables accessible and affordable to Santa Clara County residents. To date, they've added on another 27 acre property also in San Martin, that has allowed them to increase our production, preserving more agricultural lands in Santa Clara County.
