About.

Tres Estrellas Organic Farm and Garden is a 35-year-old, 6-acre organic production and educational farm located in Tecate, Baja California, Mexico. The farm was founded and nurtured by Sarah Livia Brightwood, President of Rancho la Puerta. The permaculture influenced farm elegantly incorporates organic, biointensive fruit and vegetable production, agroforestry, agrobiodiversity conservation and animal husbandry to create an idyllic example of ecological agriculture. The local Mediterranean climate, with light winter frosts, allows year-round production of a great diversity of plants. In addition to growing nutrient dense, organic produce, Tres Estrellas protects the immediate and surrounding natural resources by building carbon rich soil, protecting and recycling water and preventing topsoil erosion. The farm produces organic mixed fruits and vegetables, culinary and medicinal herbs, eggs, goat milk and cut flowers for three commercial kitchens.
