🌿 Culinary Herbs & Edible Plants: A rotating selection of fresh herbs and specialty edible plants adds fragrance, flavor, and texture throughout the gardens. Many find their way into our kitchen, homemade creations, and hands-on fermentation workshops.

🌸 Wildflowers & Pollinator Gardens: Wildflowers bloom throughout the property, creating pockets of color while providing nectar and habitat for honeybees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other beneficial pollinators.

During your stay, you'll likely meet some of our favorite farm residents! Our feathered family includes six chickens and four ducks, each with their own personality and charm. 

Our chickens include Easter Eggers and Ameraucanas, known for laying beautiful blue and green eggs that help stock our little farm stand. Our ducks are equally special! We have a breeding pair of stunning Cayuga ducks, an American heritage breed known for their shimmering, iridescent emerald-green feathers and remarkable dark-colored eggs. Cayugas are currently on The Livestock Conservancy's conservation watch list, and we're hoping to do our small part to preserve this beautiful breed for future generations. Rounding out our flock are two Muscovy ducks, including an unusual lavender-colored Muscovy with gorgeous silvery-gray plumage.

But here's where things get really fun: our chickens and ducks have their very own secret passageway! Hidden along the side of the property is a special tunnel connecting their upper and lower living areas. Each morning, the tunnel opens for business, allowing our feathered residents to travel between their two worlds. 

The chickens generally prefer their upstairs accommodations, while the ducks favor the lower level, but throughout the day, everyone mingles in their shared spaces. At night, the tunnel closes, and our little feathered community settles in until morning. It's a quirky little neighborhood with its own daily rhythm!

From honeybees and butterflies to hummingbirds and native pollinators, Fallen Fruit Farms is buzzing with life!

Our thriving honeybee colony calls a Flow Hive home, an innovative beehive designed to allow honey harvesting with minimal disruption to the bees. These hardworking little residents help pollinate our gardens, orchard, and vineyard while producing delicious, small-batch raw wildflower honey.

We're also creating a haven for butterflies, including the iconic monarch butterfly. Our property features milkweed, the essential host plant for monarch caterpillars and a vital part of their remarkable life cycle. Monarchs lay their eggs on milkweed, and their caterpillars depend on its leaves for survival. By growing milkweed and other pollinator-friendly plants, we're helping provide habitat for these extraordinary migrating butterflies.

Throughout the property, you'll also spot hummingbirds darting between flowers, butterflies drifting through the gardens, and native bees going about their important work.

At Fallen Fruit Farms, we believe even a small homestead can make a meaningful difference for local biodiversity. Our goal is to cultivate more than fruits, vegetables, and honey — we're nurturing a living ecosystem where pollinators, plants, wildlife, and people can thrive together.

At the front of the property, our small wildlife pond is much more than a pretty water feature. It's a thriving, chemical-free aquatic ecosystem designed to support wildlife, encourage biodiversity, and contribute to the natural rhythms of the farm. The pond also serves as a watering hole for honeybees, butterflies, songbirds, and other visiting wildlife.

Rather than relying on chemical treatments, our pond is filled with aquatic plants that help absorb excess nutrients, naturally filter the water, and maintain a healthy balance. Fish and other beneficial aquatic creatures help keep mosquito populations in check, while dragonflies patrol the water's surface. 

But the pond has another purpose, too! We cultivate duckweed, a tiny, fast-growing aquatic plant rich in nutrients, along with mosquito larvae, both of which can provide supplemental food for our chickens and ducks. It's one more example of how we try to turn natural processes into useful resources while reducing waste.

Inside the farmhouse, you’ll find a curated collection of rare and exotic houseplants from around the world—a nod to our love of global botanicals and indoor jungles. 

From striking Monstera, Anthuriums, and Alocasias to Brazilian Begonias, Persian Shield, Calatheas, String of Pearls, and Chinese Money Plants, each specimen has been carefully collected and lovingly cared for. 

From time to time, visitors may even have the opportunity to take home a rooted cutting—a living reminder of their time at Fallen Fruit Farms.

Situated on a small, south-facing hillside at the foot of Napa Valley, our micro-vineyard enjoys a cool breeze from the Carquinez Strait and Suisun Bay, producing balanced Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc with vibrant acidity and complexity. 

While we may have only a few humble grapevines, they carry big dreams—our personal homage to the world-class wine country just up the road.
