About Us

Our Purpose

We are a group of people that like to grow fruits and vegetables organically for our own use. We also grow some for a food closet that we donate food to. We help each other to enhance the growing experience for everyone.

Our history

We started the garden in 2004 with a vision from Jennie Bruins. The garden location belongs to John Stark and the use is limited to a local organic garden for residents of the area. A group of 6 people met weekly for several months planning out the garden layout and how it would operate and how it would be funded. The plot of land had been used as a construction site dump area and needed to be leveled before it could be used. The city of Citrus Heights did the leveling and got us stared in the right direction. After that we got the fencing completed and then started the garden layout. Water lines were trenched and placed for the garden rows and water was provided for each garden plot. Each plot was to be 4 foot wide by 20 foot long. 


There were 3 rows to stare with 11 plots in each row.

We now have 72 plots in the garden, several fruit trees, strawberries, raspberries, apple trees and a seating area for resting and visiting.


We had a boy scout build us a tool shed as an Eagle project. Also another Eagle project was a flag pole area. We built a green house for starting plants each year and sell them to members and the general public as a fund raiser to support the garden.
