November U-Picking at Cloverfield Organic Farm

The days are getting shorter and the nights are noticeably crisper and cooler at Cloverfield Organic Farm. We change the clock and adjust our regular u-pick hours on Sunday, November 3. Our Winter hours are Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, from eleven to four. Private tours and events can be reserved at other times on our website.


There is a chance of a light frost just around the corner. Our Summer crops of tomatoes and squash are almost finished, but a few might still hang on for a few more weeks if we don't get a frost.


Here are some of the crops we expect to have for visitors to u-pick this time of the year:

arugula, peppers, olives, pak choy, red trumpet cabbage, fennel, bay leaves, Kaffir lime leaves, radishes, beets, kale, collard greens, dandelion greens, green onions, rhubarb, lettuce, pea sprouts, collard greens, sunchokes, parsley, rosemary, thyme, ginger, calendula flowers, Malabar spinach, and komatsuna.


We planted quite a few sunchokes this year. They are ready to harvest when the tall stalks dry out and the plants go dormant. We provide you with a garden fork and let you dig up these delicious tubers. Sunchokes can be used like potatoes, i.e., roasted, steamed, mashed, or even pickled. They are rich in a fibrous sugar, inulin, so it is best to eat small servings at first until your digestion is familiar with it.




Come to our little bio-intensive organic farm to taste fresh fruits, flowers, herbs, and vegetables that are grown outdoors in the natural sunlight in microbially-rich soil. Wander among the diverse vegetable beds and fenced orchards. Let us know if you are brave and want to sample a taste of Absinthe wormwood.


New plantings we are starting during the late Fall and into Winter are garlic, mustard, peas, spinach, fava beans, cilantro, lettuce, and fenugreek. We are open every week of the year, so as crops are u-picked we have to start new crops growing in their space. We stay open on rainy days, so bring your rainwear if you visit on a rainy day.


We also sell our raw honey, Black Point organic extra=virgin olive oil, organic potted edible plants, and dried herbs and seeds. We have a good number of strawberry and asparagus starts for sale.


Cloverfield Organic Farm is located at 501 La Paloma Rd., El Sobrante, CA. Free parking is readily available (as long as we don't get flooding rain). Hope to see you at the farm soon!
