A Green Gem in Carmel Valley: Celebrating 40 Years of Organic Splendor with Earthbound Farm
Tucked away in beautiful Carmel Valley is Earthbound Farm, an oasis filled with so many fruits, veggies, flowers, a store, and more. Imagine roaming through fields of vibrant flowers and snacking on the freshest fruits and veggies you’ve ever tasted. It’s the kind of experience that fills your heart as much as your stomach. This special place is all about feeling that deep-down connection to the earth and realizing that what we eat actually matters—not just for our bods, but for our souls too.
You really are what you eat, so it’s important to be mindful and intentional about your eating habits.
It’s a place that promises not just a breath of fresh air but a fresh perspective on what it means to truly live sustainably. I found myself learning so much about organic and sustainable farming and inspired to start my own garden at home. I loved seeing all the happy bees flying around as well. You could really tell that there is a lot of love and intention put into every single inch of this farm.
The farmstand is where it all began, and since the company’s inception 40 years ago, it has now grown to 24,000 acres. You won’t find all 24,000 acres at the farmstand though! All the other farms of Earthbound are spread around Central California.
Why Visit the Earthbound Farm Stand in Carmel Valley?
Well, the best way to put it is that it’s like going straight to the source. You’re getting the freshest produce that is all grown on-site (or on their other farms), and Earthbound Farm Stand offers an experience that transcends the simple act of shopping for groceries. It’s also great to build a connection with everyone that works there. You’ll find fresh organic fruits, veggies, and now, beautiful blooming flowers! You can take a tour, snip off a few herbs from their herb garden, and have a picnic in the lawn area with your family/friends. It’s a special place.

The History of Earthbound Farm
In 1984, Earthbound Farm started as a tiny 2.5-acre raspberry field, an idea born out of a commitment to farming without harmful pesticides. That small plot not only grew raspberries but also sowed the seeds for what would become the largest organic produce supplier in the world. It’s a journey of audacity, conviction, and transformation, narrating how a couple’s dream evolved into a movement that redefined organic farming.
Throughout the decades, Earthbound Farm’s relentless pursuit of organic excellence has led to remarkable advancements in sustainable agriculture, setting an example for others to follow.
Join the Celebration
In celebration of this significant milestone, Earthbound Farm has recently launched a limited harvest Wild Red Arugula, along with their new organic single serve salad kits. These exciting additions are now available in grocery stores nationwide, bringing a taste of their organic excellence to your table, no matter where you are.
One of the ways Earthbound Farm continues to lead the way in sustainability is through their innovative packaging solutions. Case in point: their new plant-based packaging specifically designed for their baby spinach and spring mix. This change reduces the plastic in their packaging by an impressive 95%! It’s an effort that not only reflects their commitment to the environment but also allows us to enjoy their produce with a lighter ecological footprint.
Whether you’re purchasing their new product launches or visiting the farm stand, you’ll come to find that you’ll be happy with what you’re nourishing your body with. I can tell you quite frankly, you can truly taste the difference in their produce.
As we celebrate Earthbound Farm on its 40th anniversary, let’s remember that every choice for organic is a step toward a healthier world. Here’s to many more years of organic excellence, innovation, and inspiration from the green heart of Carmel Valley!
