Blue Belly Farms

up in the santa cruz mountains, above the coastal fog banks, beyond the busy roads, off the beaten path, in a naturally occurring sun-filled valley, protected by ancient trees and a pristine forest, a unique geological phenomenon exists. there is a 67 acre garden with a freshwater source, an abundant artesian well, which gladly surrenders its life giving flow to the plants that we nourish there. fresh air, perfect sunlight, fertile soil, and all natural nutrients… a remote, protected environment: this is the perfect location for an organic farm. this land is protected by a natural predator, a perfect sentinel, one that enjoys eating all the pests that would threaten any organic crop. . . the blue belly lizard.
