Full Circle Farm

From where I live in Mountain View, there may be no food that is more local (other than home-grown) than the food grown at Full Circle Farm, an 11 acre non-profit farm located adjacent to Peterson Middle School off of Wolfe Road near El Camino Real. You can buy directly through their farmstand or through their CSA. Right now, they have typical California winter crops such as broccoli, cabbage, chard, carrots, collard greens, kale, leeks, sunchokes, and winter squash.

On top of that, it's a great place to take the kids to walk along the vegetable rows, see seedlings in the greenhouse, stroll through the fruit trees in the orchard, or play with Mister Andy the rooster and the chickens in the hen house. Our family has "adopted" two trees at Full Circle Farm, a satsuma orange tree and a white nectarine tree, to help us feel more connected to the farm. We hope to take our daughter Kaiya and son Austin to visit these trees often.
