At Kallisto Farms, here in Fallbrook, California, we grow a variety of flowers, delicious fruit and seasonal vegetable crops, trees, berries, herbs and vines, and raise chickens, ducks, and eggs.
Kallisto Farms is a hands-on, environmentally friendly operation from seed to plate. We start our seeds in a small greenhouse, then 'harden off' the seedlings on outdoor benches before planting them in the garden beds to mature. Each area and crop have its own irrigation drip or mist spray system to ensure efficient water management, accomplished with a Water Smart Irrigation timer connected to local weather stations.
Water is not the only earth-friendly process on the farm. When trees are pruned, we chip and compost the trimmings to return them to the soil as amendments later. We offer any excess greens as tasty feed to our own chickens and ducks - and to our neighbors' pigs and goats - so nothing goes to waste.
The diversity and efficiency of our farm are matched by the sublime flavor of our produce and the beauty of the decks overlooking the gardens enhanced by the many flowers being grown.
