Diggin' Roots Farm

Hello, and thank you for visiting! We are Conner, Sarah, and Wendell, respectively your farmers and the foreman. The opportunity to tend this land and call it our home is a privilege for which we smile every day. We are drawn to this livelihood by a magnetism of purpose, abundance, and place. We believe that agriculture is a culture worth our creative attention; that the story of human life on earth is largely defined by the pursuit of sustenance, and in turn, how we treat the ecosystems that nurture our growth. We are not unique. Diggin� Roots Farm is a young member of a large community of small, diversified, family farms, and a humble pupil to many inspiring minds, mentors, and farmers. The thought that food will and should be grown without compromise to Health is not a new sentiment; it is an enduring challenge to the status quo. The seed that grew into this farm was planted in 2001, when we first met at UC Davis. Forged over good meals, bad movies, and backpacking, our friendship brought together a girl from the Bay Area and a guy from the Sierra Foothills. Our mutual appreciation for food and the natural world sparked the journey, and now our mutual adoration and respect is what keeps us lovingly inspired. Building a farm together is the life that we envision, because it is work that we enjoy and it is work that we can share. When the farm is our home AND the farm management is a marriage, it takes a lot of intention to cultivate a healthy balance between work and family. Though not always easy, it is infinitely rewarding, and the friendship over good meals continues, now with homegrown food and more family members!
