Mariquita Farm is a small, family owned farm in the Pajaro Valley that  specializes in growing a wide assortnment of unique herbs and produce that are highly coveted by the chefs and restaurants of our region. Farm owners Andy Griffin and Starr Linden care for an array of specialty citrus, vegetables, culinary herbs, and flowers grown in a garden-like setting. The farm is a menagerie of visual vignettes, such as a young citrus orchard with a row of fruiting Nopal cacti surrounding an eleven circle labyrinth planted out in lavender. Other crops include specialty beans, chayote, marigolds, and hoja santa.

Mariquita means "ladybug" in Spanish, and Mariquita Farm takes its name from this cute, little mascot of the natural farming movement. Since 1998 Mariquita Farm has served restaurant kitchens and home cooks through its CSA in the Monterey Bay Area, Santa Cruz and greater SF Bay Area.
