Farmer’s Market

The Agricultural Commissioner of Ventura County California has authorized us to "sell produce directly to consumers at a certified farmers' market." And so will see our Mulberry Lane Farm stand every Saturdays at Camarillo Farmer’s Market, California! So much to celebrate - life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness and abundant sunshine and harvest year round! Please see our produce here or contact us to check what’s available on the coming weeks!

Farm Tours

Get in on a farm tour at the Mulberry Lane Farm and explore unique species of fruit trees and vegetables. You’ll be joined by our differently-abled farmers that would walk you through our day-to-day, from harvesting to gleaning to cleaning to counting and measuring the seeds we sell on our BrightHorizonSeeds Etsy store, to hand-picking fruits that you will find on our market stand. Contact us now, and you might get a bag of sweet fresh-picked treats!

Up on the Farm Program

Up on the Farm Program

Up on the Farm is a day program created especially for differently-abled adults in the community so that they may participate in farm-related activities on Mulberry Lane Farm. The program is managed entirely by volunteers and funded by a non-profit charitable organization, the Upside of Downs (501c3 – tax ID 38-3375526) and private donors. Although there is no fee to participate in the day program at the farm, each special farmer must be accompanied by and work/hang out with/be side by side with a responsible adult (job coach, caregiver, parent, etc.).

The two-fold mission of the “Up on the Farm” day program operated by the Upside of Downs is:

1. To provide hands-on, hearts-in, life-on-a-farm experiences for special needs adults in the community;

2. To celebrate everyone’s God-given gifts while experiencing life on a little farm on a mountainside - celebrating everything from spontaneous hula dance moves while exploring the banana and palm tree groves to bicep-flexing demonstrations while carrying the mango basket up the hill! All share gifts here! All make a difference here!
