A human from the soil up
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.

A water storage solution powered by 400 students
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.
A behind-the-scenes look at small-farm dynamics
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.
Where Water Flows, Equality Grows
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?
The woman who turns spaces into feelings
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.
In the fields, March 5, 2026
At Blue Marble Acres, the air is thick with the scent of damp earth and anticipation. Tucked along the Point Reyes-Petaluma Road, a half-acre of land that once served as the historic Cypress Lane Ranch is being reborn. For the first time in its history, this former dairy pasture is feeling the bite of the plow as it prepares for a new legacy: strawberries.
Beyond sustainability
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?
Healing the earth from the ground up
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.
Leading the renaissance
At a time when our global food systems are under immense pressure, Blue Marble Acres is moving beyond the passive goal of sustainability to the active pursuit of regeneration. As an Agricultural Incubator in West Marin, we have developed a scalable Living Land Use Model that balances high-yield food production with dynamic conservation and renewable energy. By "Farming Farmers" and integrating technology with tradition, we are creating a blueprint for "Re-villaging"—a way of life that restores both the soil and the human spirit. This isn't just a ranching project; it’s a strategic effort to prove that human thriving and ecological health are fundamentally inseparable.
