Meet Your Farmers

Many farmers have managed the Berkeley Basket over the years. By joining this unique CSA, members provide important employment opportunities for urban farmers, in addition to eating healthy local produce with near-zero transit miles. We are grateful for the work of each farmer who has carried this project forward.

2019 was a breakthrough year: it was the first year the Berkeley Basket was managed by more than one farmer! We operate using a cooperative, non-heirarchical model. Our current farmers are:

  • Marianne Olney-Hamel: 2018 - Present

  • Moretta Browne: 2019 - Present
