Route 1 Farms
There are some people who are so far ahead of the trend that they set them. As the owner of Route 1 Farms Jeff Larkey has proven that to be the case time and again.
Route 1 Farms is a foundation in the evolving movement towards ecologically based agriculture growing quality organic produce for over twenty-five years.
Jeff Larkey and his crew are stewards of 65 acres of beautiful and fertile Santa Cruz coastal valley farmland, including fields at Rancho del Oso along Waddell Creek, as well as Ocean St. Extension at the rural/urban fringe along the San Lorenzo River.
Route 1 Farms has grown to meet the needs of the community without sacrificing the ideals of sustainability, productivity, beauty and efficiency. Route 1 seeks to be harmonious with nature and the people who work the land.
Route 1 sells produce at local Farmers Markets and set a new trend in 2012 when they stopped providing plastic bags for customers at their stands. After a season or two of griping many of the other vendors have followed Jeff’s lead once again. They do provide Bio-bags at a $.25 per bag charge to motivate customers to bring their own bags. Proceeds are donated to support the work of Clean Oceans International.
