MEET YOUR FARMERS
Kate
Seed Planter
Kate grew up in the mild climate of California’s Bay Area, where she developed a deep appreciation for eating with the seasons and knowing where her food comes from. When peaches are ripe, there’s no holding back! She has lovingly passed this passion down to Belle and Bug. Most days, you’ll find her in the flower garden, where she finds joy in growing blooms and crafting beautiful bouquets. Aside from spending time with her family, few things make her happier than being surrounded by flowers and the beauty of nature.
Patrick
Seed Keep-Aliver
Patrick is a sixth-generation farmer. He grew up raising livestock and stacking hay bales in Northern Nevada. However his new found agricultural passion here in the Sacramento valley is raising trees—olives, stone fruit, and citrus. The orchard is his happy place. He’s just as content standing in the leafless orchard of winter planning his next pruning cuts as he is picking ripe warm peaches in the middle of summer harvest.
What is Belle and Bug Farms?
Located in Orland, California—Belle & Bug Farms came out of a desire to raise our kids where they could learn to grow their own food, to learn that work can be play, and to see the fruits of their labor.
Luckily, in the Sacramento Valley, we can grow just about anything, including the Sevillano olives that produce our award-winning extra virgin olive oil. Additionally, we grow saffron, oranges, peaches, seasonal cut flower bouquets for our local customers, and whatever else Belle and Bug decide to plant in the ground.
“The best fertilizer is the footprint of the farmer.”
