Suncatcher Farm is a diverse vegetable farm located on 10 acres in west Petaluma. Farmer Patrick has been managing the land for the past 3 years, running every operation of the farm from field prepping, seeding to planting to weeding and harvesting.

After working on a few different farms throughout the county, Patrick had the opportunity to start managing the land that is now Suncatcher Farm. He takes an approach to farming that aims to balance the ideals of natural farming with the use of mechanized cultivation. Patrick is passionate about growing high quality produce while building and supporting relationships with the local ecosystem.

FEED Sonoma has always been an integral part of the farm, buying and distributing its produce to local restaurants and grocery stores around the Bay Area. The FEED Bins have been an opportunity to get more of the farms vegetables onto the plates of people in our community. In 2020 Suncatcher opened its farm stand to the public, which has allowed people to purchase fresh vegetables directly from the farm.
