Welcome! This website is dedicated to providing high quality, scientifically based and unbiased information to support your farming efforts. We work very hard to share resources that have been validated by both farmers and scientists and to make the information detailed and concise, yet useful and digestible.
The content in this website largely focused on organic, vegetable production, but much of it is useful for all types of farming.
UC Cooperative Extension is a partnership between the University of California and the local farmers to strengthen the quality and productivity of agriculture in our area. We conduct research, develop production guides and host workshops and meetings as needed and requested by the local community.
Don’t hesitate to reach out to Margaret with any questions about things that you are seeing or doing on your farm.

Disasters Happen
Disasters impact communities across California but UCANR has resources to help, from drought resources for farmers, to building community fire resilience, to helping families know what foods they can eat after a power outage. We help communities understand, prepare for, survive through, and recover from diverse disasters.
Because University of California’s Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources and Cooperative Extension (UC ANR) are present in local communities across the state, personnel find themselves responding to local disasters in a variety of new ways. This site is designed to help extension professionals and communities find information relevant to their region, and to disasters they may be experiencing.

Legume Series Post #1
New research shows that legumes can detect different rhizobium strains and they have ‘policing’ mechanisms that select for cooperative, nitrogen-sharing rhizobia and against ‘selfish’, nitrogen-greedy rhizobia.
