At Opal Creek Farm, spring planting is in full swing—and this year, we’re growing more than ever before! From Sungold and Early Girl tomatoes to snap peas and peppers, our focus is on delicious, nutrient-rich crops for local school lunches. We're especially excited about our dry-farmed tomatoes, grown with zero irrigation after planting to save water and boost flavor. Find out how we’re blending sustainability with taste in this season’s planting strategy.

While winter may seem like a quiet time on the farm, the fields at Opal Creek are alive with purpose. Our cover crops—like oats, bell beans, field peas, and hairy vetch—aren’t for eating but for feeding the soil. These nutrient-boosting plants restore fertility, increase organic matter, and help us store precious winter rain for the dry farming season ahead. Come see how winter soil health sets the stage for spring abundance.
