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.
