Mission

Sebastopol Berry Farm was started in 1986 by Tarcicio and Sabina Vigil who purchased Green Valley Farms. (Green Valley planted the first blueberries in California in 1940.)

We are a small family farm with everyone involved in either selecting varieties, picking berries or selling them at local farmers markets. Since 1986 the farm expanded into other types of berries such as raspberries, blackberries and strawberries.

We are dedicated to growing the most flavorful berries, picking them at their peak and offering them fresh directly to our customers.

Berries at a Glance

This past week was full of challenges with the thunder/lightening early Monday followed by steady rain.  The good thing is the weather stayed cool for the next day and only caused a slight delay in some of the berries ripening.

This week boysenberries are coming into their short season.  Only around for a few weeks so get them now.  Make excellent pies, jams and milk shakes!

Blueberries are so sweet right now, especially the smaller variety. This variety in season for another 3 maybe 4 weeks.

Loganberries are a very unique berry in terms of flavor.  Complex with a smooth finish.  These will be in short supply as we begin to wind down the season.

Black raspberries are also at their peak.  These guys are full of antioxidants and taste good too!

We'll have a lot of different varieties of blackberries throughout summer.  This weekend we expect the Marion blackberries to begin their season.  The flavor is pretty incredible on these so don't miss out.  Make excellent pies, jams or bite size snacks!

Red, golden, orange and purple raspberries are limited as we wait for the next crop to take off.  Don't miss our on their unique flavors when you see them at a market.

If you really want a particular berry, call a couple of days before the market and we'll try our best to set them aside for you.  Or if you want to pick up at the farm,  let us know and we'll set up an appointment.

Have a berry good week!
