Here is everything you need to know about garlic scapes, plus three simple ways to start cooking with them today.

A new kind of opportunity has quietly taken root in West Marin. Blue Marble Acres is removing the capital barriers to farming by opening its organic land, shared infrastructure, and community support to the next generation of growers and land-curious humans. Whether you want to plant a high-yield market garden this season or cultivate a multi-year regenerative food forest, discover how you can step off the pavement and onto the land.

This spring, California Parks Department is planning herbicide treatments on land that drains directly into Tomales Bay.

The authorities are using the language of regeneration to justify the use of chemicals that destroys the very microbial and botanical relationships that regeneration depends on.

That contradiction deserves a reckoning. This is an attempt to add one.

Basketball was never the point. For Coach Jerome Gumbs, Founder of Empower Me Academy, it was always just the magnet. The excuse to get more than 5,000 students in a room and teach them something far more important than how to shoot. This is his story and why Blue Marble Acres is now part of it.

A wholesome, naturally vegan breakfast that’s also filling and super flavourful.

If you have noticed the hills around Blue Marble Acres looking greener lately, there is a good reason and it has four legs. Meet Jenna Coughlin, founder of Shepherds of the Coast, the prescribed grazing operation quietly restoring the soil one paddock at a time. From cheesemaking to shepherding, from Coast Miwok roots to MALT grants, her story is what happens when someone decides the only trick to doing something is just doing it.

An easy kid-friendly recipe for this spring season. Sweet, tender, and ready in minutes. A salad even the pickiest little eater will actually enjoy!

Edgar Cox has counseled children, harvested grapes in New Zealand, and now tends the soil of West Marin with the same quiet intentional creativity he brings to everything else. As Agricultural Manager at Blue Marble Acres, he's not just growing food — he's rebuilding a relationship between land, people, and community. One handful of soil at a time.

We shared our classic deviled eggs recipe, always a winner, made with simple ingredients including our fresh eggs of course, pickle relish, mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper. Enjoy!

A conversation with Matt Champoux, BMA’s Executive Director, about the STRAW and Point Blue Conservation Science partnership that brought students, farmers, and a neglected riparian corridor back to life together.

Read how 400 students, and a 34-year old Bay Area program came together to restore something much bigger than a stretch of land.

The supply chains that sustain organic family farms in Northern California aren't always the sleek, optimized pipelines people imagine. They're built on phone calls and trust — and out here in West Marin, that system is remarkably tight.

Yesterday, March 22nd, the world observed World Water Day — a moment to reflect on something so fundamental to life that we can easily take it for granted: clean, accessible water. On our farm, we marked it with a simple but powerful image: a female farmer washing her hands after a long day of harvesting. We want to tell a bigger story. One about labor, dignity, and a global fight that is far from over.

This year's World Water Day theme — "Water and Gender: Where Water Flows, Equality Grows" — challenges us to think beyond pipelines and reservoirs and ask a harder question: who carries the burden when water is scarce, unsafe, or far away?

There's a word Susana Mejía uses that stays with you: alquimia — alchemy. Not the old fantasy of turning lead into gold, but something closer to real magic: walking into a room and making it feel like home. That's her craft. That's what she does.

Susana is a creative mind building space and sensory experiences. Her philosophy is simple but rare: create what doesn't exist yet, and make every space warm enough that no one wants to leave.

Sustainability is no longer the finish line—it’s the baseline. For decades, we’ve been told to 'do no harm' to the Earth, but in a world of depleting topsoil and a changing climate, 'neutral' just isn't enough. Enter Regenerative Agriculture: a radical shift from merely sustaining the land to actively healing it. Imagine a farming system that doesn't just feed the world, but actually breathes life back into the dirt beneath our feet and pulls carbon right out of the sky. Are you ready to move beyond 'green' and join the restoration?

Discover how "Low Water" leads to "High Impact" at Blue Marble Acres! We’re launching Rooted in Restoration, a hands-on community program where you can help us heal the ecosystem one native grass garden at a time. Join us for a day of purposeful planting, guided restoration hikes through our rolling hills, and expert-led workshops on soil health. It’s more than just a gardening day—it’s an opportunity to put down your own roots, learn the science of sustainable land practices, and make a lasting environmental impact alongside your neighbors.
