The
Farm

Just two and a half miles from Little Saint, the farm is where it all begins. Nestled along Westside Road in Healdsburg, Little Saint Farm is an 8-acre regenerative property and the source of the vibrant vegetables and hand-cut blooms that shape our seasonal menus, stock our market stands, and fill the spaces at Little Saint with color and care.

Grown with intention by a dedicated team, everything harvested here—whether a tender herb, tiny turnip, or fragrant dahlia—is rooted in our commitment to soil health, biodiversity, and community.

Founded in 2020 on the site of a former vineyard, Little Saint Farm began by replacing grapevines with compost, cover crops, and woodchips—kickstarting a long-term effort to restore the land and nurture a thriving farm ecosystem.
Today, the team cultivates approximately three acres of intensively managed, minimally tilled permanent beds. From this revitalized soil, they grow over 300 varieties of annual and perennial vegetables, fruits, herbs, and flowers—all using regenerative methods that prioritize soil health and habitat for pollinators, microbes, and other living things.
The farm supplies much more than just Little Saint’s restaurant: its produce and blooms make their way to local wineries, restaurants, private chefs, and direct-to-consumer markets. Beyond that, over 200 varieties of flowers—both fresh and dried—fill arrangements seen throughout Little Saint, including the retail floral counter.
Run by a talented crew of trans people, women, and queer folks, Little Saint Farm is a space for growth in every sense. Their work is grounded in respect for the land, a passion for beautiful food and flowers, and a desire to build a more connected, nourishing food system here in Sonoma County.
At Little Saint Farm, we believe farming can be a force for healing the planet—not harming it.
Where conventional agriculture often depletes soil, disrupts ecosystems, pollutes waterways, and overlooks the well-being of workers, our regenerative approach works in harmony with nature.
By harnessing renewable energy, minimizing soil disturbance through minimal tillage, nurturing cover crops, sourcing sustainable organic fertilizers, and planting perennial trees and shrubs, the farm actively restores biodiversity and creates thriving habitats amid Sonoma County’s iconic vineyards.
We envision a future where small farms like ours anchor resilient local food systems—strong enough to weather climate change—and where every member of our community can access nourishing, clean food grown with care and respect.

Samantha Gregory

Farm Director
Samantha’s passion for farming took root early—back in elementary school, she was already running side-by-side trials in her mom’s vegetable garden to see how organic compost affected growth. At 22, after tasting a truly fresh sweet pepper for the first time, she knew farming was her calling. Since then, she’s been dedicated to crafting rich sensory experiences that connect people to the land and its bounty.
Samantha’s love for delicious, vibrant food fuels her commitment to regenerative farming. She approaches her work with deep respect for the earth and a mission to leave the farm more resilient and thriving than she found it. When she’s not tending the fields, you’ll often find her curled up with Motley, her beloved floppy-eared tortoiseshell cat.
Nina Fitch

Farm General Manager
Nina has been a nature nerd since childhood, fascinated by everything from tiny microbes to towering mountains. This curiosity led her to study marine science and geology in college. After several years in environmental consulting—mostly drilling holes in parking lots—she realized she wanted to reconnect with the natural world. A sabbatical and a volunteer day at a small vegetable farm in Sebastopol turned into a decade-long journey into farming.
Now General Manager of Little Saint Farm, Nina oversees all farm operations with a focus on sustainability and community. While her expertise covers the entire farm, she has a special passion for flowers and collaborates closely with the cut-flower team, who cultivate over 200 varieties of annual and perennial blooms year-round—bringing stunning fresh and dried arrangements to the restaurant and beyond.
Lj Maingard

Farm Programs Manager
Born in a rural village nestled within the breathtaking Cape Point Nature Reserve at Africa’s southern tip, Lj’s roots are deeply connected to nature. After graduating top of their class in Culinary Artistry, Lj left South Africa as a chef in search of a new home—and found it in California. They vividly remember the first time cooking with vegetables grown just 20 feet from the kitchen; the intense aroma and flavor were unlike anything they’d experienced before.
Lj is continually inspired by the profound lessons farming offers—the rhythms of the earth, the science of growth, and the deep connection between people and the land. This awe and curiosity fuel their work as Farm Programs Manager, where they bring passion and insight to every project.
LJ Jalfon

Farm Production Manager
LJ’s passion for sustainable agriculture took root in 2013 during her internship with Blue Ridge Women in Agriculture in Boone, North Carolina. There, she not only helped write grants supporting female farmers but also rolled up her sleeves to volunteer alongside them. She honed her farming skills in Olympia, Washington, and Petaluma, California before bringing her expertise and dedication to Little Saint Farm in 2022.
When she’s not tending to the fields, you might find LJ paddleboarding on the Russian River, curled up with a good book, or dancing the night away.
