Organic Producer
About Us
Welcome
New Leaf Grown LLC. ( formally New Leaf Perma Farm) is located in the Sierra foothills of Northern California approximately one-hour northeast of Sacramento near the historic gold mining towns of Grass Valley and Nevada City. Our modest five-acre farm consists of open pastures and gently rolling hills adorned with granite rock outcroppings and dozens of oak, pine, maple, redwood, and black walnut trees. The property also features a seasonal pond and stream and small orchard of fruit trees. All of our water comes from two underground wells on the property and the majority of our energy usage is solar powered.
New Leaf was created from our calling to live in greater harmony with nature, contribute to the well being of our community, and positively impact the flourishing of all life on the planet. We follow organic practices and are influenced by both permaculture and biodynamic philosophies. Our practices include the use of cover crops, composting, grazing, solar energy, and drip irrigation. We use only Organiic OMRI Listed pest control inputs, and never use GMO seeds, herbicides, pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. At New Leaf Grown we are dedicated to growing healthy, abundant, and nutrient-dense produce while regenerating our ecosystem.
