County Line Harvest – Profile
Established 2000
Owners
David Retsky & Francesca Rohr
After spending time in the UC Santa Cruz Agroecology program, apprenticing at Fairview Gardens in Santa Barbara, and on a kibbutz in Israel, David Retsky found his own plot to tend in Marin County. The original farm property sat on the line between Marin & Sonoma Counties after which the farm is named. County Line Harvest has been growing vegetables since 2000.
Chef Canales says that County Line produces “some of the most sincere chicories”.
