Specialties
Green String farm produces vegetables and fruits for a number of restaurants in the Bay Area, and maintains a farm store year-round. While the farm is not certified organic, we hold ourselves to sustainability standards that exceed the standards for organic certification. At the farm store, you can find a wide variety of fresh produce, as well as our own pickles, preserves, grassfed ground beef, and fresh eggs.
History
Established in 2003.
Bob Cannard and Fred Cline, united under many similar eco-friendly farming philosophies, founded Green String Farm in 2003. Cannard is a small-scale farmer well-known for providing produce to Alice Waters’ Chez Panisse restaurant in Berkeley. Cline owns Cline Cellars and Jacuzzi Family Vineyards and oversees hundreds of acres of vineyards.
The Green String Farm Store opened in 2006 to make our produce available to the public.
