I highly recommend this host for folks seeking to gain/refine both organic production AND farm business management skills. Patricia and Mark have created a beautiful small farm and a solid enterprise. They embody the best of sustainable principles and practices, from the design/layout of the farm and nursery to the way they engage their customers in the pleasures of food and farming. In my work as a sustainable small farming educator, I've brought Patricia and Mark into our classroom and brought our beginning farmers out to Garden Treasures to learn from their inspiring example. If you're serious about learning the trade, check them out. Bonus: Mark and Patricia both speak Spanish fluently and maintain connections to Patricia's family's farm in Mexico.
