Plum Possum Farm

Plum Possum Farm Market farm in Placer county growing unusual and interesting edibles, as well as year-round staples. Plum Possum Farm is a new farm in Placer County.

Many popular and delicious foods are not widely grown in California, despite a climate that would allow them to thrive. Others are not widely used, or considered inaccessible. We plan to cultivate as many of this type of plant as possible and market them to home cooks and restaurants.

Amazing what tractors and a couple teenagers can get done. Thanks guys!
And we are even fitting in blueberry picking, pool time, and finishing kindergarten.

It’s garlic planting time! Enough skins to make a once-a-year wheelbarrow ride in them.
Not pictured: throwing rotten heads at Daddy. Good times!

Our newest crop! Japanese Myoga ginger is bursting out of the ground. Sliced thinly, it’s like ginger, but less fiery and tastier. Anyone tried it before? Looking forward to some culinary experiments.
