Welcome to Handy Farms!
Non-GMO, Raw Regenerative Organic Unpasteurized Walnuts
California-Grown
The Handy Family focuses on regenerative organic walnuts fresh from the farm to our family. Not only do we have our own farm, but we source food for our family from farms that offer qualified organic produce for our family. Those who order our produce can be assured it is quality. From our organic farm with regenerative practices, or one like ours with the healthiest, most abundant, and diverse life possible on a healthy farm, to yours! We want to see regenerative organic family farms thrive. As well as help those who value regenerative organic whole foods.
Our commitment is your health. Frequently, we will share the harvest we have found from our small family farm and neighbors’ small family farms with you. This is based on our criteria of qualified organic, nutrient-dense food grown regeneratively on a small family farm. These farms take pride in soil health. This results in healthier soil, healthier produce, and healthier families.
Healthy Soils = Healthy Plants = Healthy Humans
HOW do we do this:
- Never using any chemical ..’ides (pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, etc.) or synthetic chemical fertilizers
- Carefully selecting and cultivating a diverse cover crop to enhance diversity and symbiotic relationship between the soil microbes, plants, and animals.
- Practicing no-till farming methods to ensure the integrity of our fungal mycorrhizal networks in the soil.
- Grazing animals under the trees using planned/rotational grazing methods to maximize the health of the animal and soil.
- Applying biologically active vegetative compost to enhance biology and available nutrition.
- Inoculating soil with a diverse array of beneficial microbes through brewing our own compost tea to help restore the rich abundance of soil life that needs to exist to have healthy soils, healthy plants, healthy animals, and healthy people.
- Farming the land with all the love our little family can give! We love this way of farming and living.
Handy Farms is owned and operated by the property’s only residents: The Handy Family. Clayton Handy had a dream to create a fully sustainable farm. He dreamed of having his food products free from pesticides, herbicides, and as nutritionally dense as possible. The result is an agricultural system that preserves the health of the farmer, consumer, and mother nature.
All products at Handy Farms are grown using a regenerative agriculture system. This means the diverse plant and fungal ecology is planned in such a way that the crop’s nutritional needs are met by this underground network. As a result of the dense understory soil organic matter is also building. This improves the soil’s water-holding capacity and pulls carbon from the atmosphere into the soil where it acts as a vital building component in plant growth. How is that for reducing carbon footprint?
The dream would be incomplete if it weren’t for the children’s laughter as they play throughout the orchard and dense vegetation beneath. The vision of Handy Farms includes Family, Nutrition, and Earth. It is truly a labor of love.
