The Gospel Flat Farm mission is to create a hospitable community oriented center of food culture and art. The Murches are organic farmers. They also have their own farm stand that runs on the honor system, which is a system that trusts the customers to pay for the goods on their own, strengthening the sense of community. Behind the farm stand, there’s an art space for exhibits, events and classes. Don Murch, a long time salmon fisherman, started the farm in the 1980’s. They are located in Bolinas, CA. They’re associated with the Marin Agricultural Land Trust (MALT), a coalition between farmers and environmentalists united by common concerns. They aim to ensure farmland protection and open space for all Marin communities forever. You can help by spreading the word and buying groceries from Gospel Flat Farm and from other local farmers.
