White onions, Sierra Blanca from are just beautiful. Also quite delicious. Not sure how but they’re different than a yellow onion and really tasty. Let’s eat a lot of them they’re not a long-term storage union.

It's a new plant for us! Can anyone guess what it is or have you grown it?

Thanks everybody. They are black sesame. We will keep you posted on their growth. They won’t be harvested until later on this fall.

Wayne and Lee are headed to Texas for the April 8 total solar eclipse. We’re wondering if we know any fellow farmers along the way? We will probably go Route 66 and on into Texas somewhere around Austin.  Would love to visit maybe lend a hand for an hour or two. 
Annular eclipse October 2023 near Winnemucca, Arizona

The Sunday soup was sublime. The cornmeal muffins were scrumptious. Still, some of the participants were even more impressed with the farm’s mud. A creative way of really getting to know where your food comes from.

Hopi Pink cornmeal muffins with butter. Yum! The only thing better would be eating a bowl full of winter vegetable-bean soup with a group of friendly people on a rainy day in a big White Barn. Come join us this Sunday 3 to 6 at the Farm
BYOB bring your own soup bowl and spoon.

We hung a star on the White Barn wishing for individual peace since humanity seems unable to achieve Peace on Earth.
Seasons Greetings to all from all of us at Tierra.

Our Christmas colors masa was so good last year we are going to grind some again this year. Brilliant green, tender spinach masa and stunning red, sweet beet masa. All from our white Mexican June corn. Available this week and next at the Farm Stand and Ferry Plaza Farmers Market.

10/23/2023

The first significant rainfall of the season. We still have 4 varieties of corn to harvest and one bean, Dixie specled pink butterbean.

Thanks Californios SF for helping us pick the John Deere Green, Hopi Pink, Otofile, and Floriani corn.

🎶 Still crazy after all these years🎶
I remember when the Gypsy pepper first came out. It is still crazy good and crazy productive. And we still sell it with our warning that excessive consumption may cause singing and wandering. 💃🏽🎶🕺🏻
Let’s test some at our Farm dinner September 24, 5 PM.
$125 per person. $25 wine pairing. Tickets available at the Farmstand, farmers market, or through Venmo.

Our September 24 Farm meal may have to move from under the tent to beside the Farm Stand. Dry bean harvest has begun. It might be nice to drag a tarp of beans in under the tent, and run them through the thrasher in the shade.  Tickets available at the farmstand, our booth at farmers market or through Venmo. Check the menu in last weeks newsletter.

Tierra’s gopher patrol. Google gophers and the first thing that pops up is-How do you get rid of them? Pablo is really good with traps and Sibley is really good with her claws.  Next item on a Google search is- What do they taste like? Apparently just like chicken! I wouldn’t be surprised. They have an awfully good diet.

We got all the chile plants planted on a rather chilly day. Have had a wide variety of weather over the past 43 years of pepper planting. This is one of the colder ones I can remember. The whole farm is ready for some summer weather. ☀️

05/20/2023

We have fresh picked 🍓🍓 come on down to the Farm Stand!!

A bit of green 🍀

The new mill arrived! Wayne now has lava stones in the molino for masa and granite stones in the mill for cornmeal. He has to first work his way through this manual and then we will have stone ground cornmeal.

May the circle be productive, prosperous and unbroken. Happy New Year 2023

Success‼️ Our big lutz beet added a spectacular color and sweetness to the Mexican June white masa. Imagine a shocking red sweet tamale or warm sope with butter and a holiday drink.😋

Proud that many Michelin star restaurants cook with produce grown by Tierra.








(and recommendations)

Congratulations to everyone. We are also proud to work with so many other fine restaurants.
Lee and Wayne

Experiment for some vibrant Christmas colors. We’ll run a beet through the mill next week and see what happens. Our Mexican June corn makes a delightful white masa.

We were digging through our archives of the books we have been featured in over the years and we decided to share the memories with you.

In 2004 we got several pages about us and our chiles in ‘Sonoma: A Food and Wine Lover’s Journey’ by editor and art director Jennifer Barry.

Photographs in the book were created by Robert Holmes.

We got a copy of the book with their signatures and a lovely note ❤️

Notice the two recipes: Honey and fromage blanc ice cream from and Goat cheese crème brûlée. Maybe we should recreate these!
