We are a small family farm partnered with Belden Barns on Sonoma Mountain outside of Santa Rosa, CA. We grow vegetables and tree fruit on five acres and follow all organic principles and practices.
Kibo (pronounced kee-bōh) means “wish” or “hope” in Japanese. The choice of a Japanese name comes from Vince’s connection to Japan where he lived and worked for three years, teaching in a remote farming village.
Kibo Farm represents the fulfillment of our wish to find a place where we could grow food for our community and care for the land.
In our fields you’ll find everything from heirloom tomatoes and melons to lettuce and baby corn. We grow many kinds of specialty Asian vegetables as well as storage crops like heirloom dry beans, milling corn and popcorn. We work closely with chefs around the region to plan each season’s crop mix and trial new varieties.
The orchard includes over 25 varieties of apples, with fruit chosen specially for cider, as well as over 30 varieties of pears, plums, peaches, quince, and assorted citrus.
Almost everything we grow is available through the food hub F.E.E.D. Cooperative, California’s first farmer- and employee-owned fresh produce cooperative. We also sell products under the Belden Barns label (including cider made from our fruit).
How can you enjoy our produce? Sign up for the FEED Bin or visit these restaurants in San Francisco: Quince, Cotogna, Octavia, Frances, Mister Jiu’s and Saison!
