01/12/2026

Thanks to and the Tierra land acquisition fund is now at 82% of our goal. We appreciate everyone who ordered roast chicken and enabled Zuni Café to donate $5000.
PS Thanks also chef for bringing us reusable wax cartons at market every week.

As we near the deadline for the land purchase, we’d like to again thank all of our supporters and remind everyone why small local farms like Tierra are so important to the region and the community.

Nico Pena, a Bay Area based private and consulting chef, expressed the sentiment nicely. Ian Gordon Barredo, the owner of Metiche, not only voiced his support for all things Tierra but hosted a wonderful benefit meal last month in San Francisco. Patty Unterman, the founder of Hayes Street Grill, has supported farmers markets and local food since Tierra started farming.

Thank you all for your support.

A good "pumpkin” pie needs good eggs and a good squash. Doesn’t hurt to have a good barn cat named after the Sibley squash.

Because of this incredible community of supporters, we’re almost there. 
Just $50,000 stands between Tierra Vegetables and securing this legacy farm forever.

Every share matters.
Every contribution counts.

Help us get them to the finish line.

Help us bring it home this holiday season.

We are so close to our goal.
Thank you to everyone who has donated so far.
Our deadline is fast approaching and in order to fill the gap between the fundraising and the full cost we had considered taking out a loan.
This is a very complicated sale involving a county agency and two separate LLCs.
A loan would add a lien on the property and would create additional complexity and costs both in taxes and lawyer fees.
The county has granted us an extension through January.
We are still about $65,000 away from our goal.
We don’t want to ask more of you who have already donated but would really appreciate if you could share our plea to others who may be able to donate.
Or if anyone has other ideas on fundraising we’d really appreciate some input.
Thank you to everyone and if you’re in the area come by the farm and get some vegetables grown in our beautiful soil.
