Groundswell Farm
Groundswell is an urban micro-farm located on the Westside of Santa Cruz. Farm owners Heather and James Cook have been growing food for almost a decade, tucked in a neighborhood along Moore Creek Preserve. The farm benefits greatly from the bio-diversity of this semi-wild region. Though Groundswell is a seasonal, small farm of just about three acres, James and Heather produce a lot of food, as much as 5 tons of tomatoes each year among their other crops including padron peppers, shallots, winter squash and onions. They sell to restaurants and at farmers' markets.
