Genesis Organic Farm was founded by Jeannie and Ted Williams in 2007. It all started with 2 acres of Dapple Fire Pluots and a small U-Pick orchard. Now the farm has 10 acres of active property that house a CSA, raised garden classes, and green houses for the cultivation of crops for school fundraisers. We at Genesis Organic Farms strive to be stewards of the land and we pray that God may continue to bless all who visit here.

Small Farm, Big Deal
We offer a variety of programs on the farm to meet the various demands of the people in the Kings and Tulare County areas. Good Seed CSA is a subscription based vegetable market. Members get to come out to the farm weekly to pick up certified organic produce to take home to their families and friends. Discovery Gardens is a hands on gardening program where individuals or families learn how to grow organic fruit and vegetables using commercially available products and easy to learn techniques. Gardens 4 Education offers an alternative to traditional school fundraisers that allows students to purchase tomato and cucamelon plants for their homes while raising money for their schools. For the adventurous, we offer seasonal U-Pick fruit that spans the entire summer. We have a variety of fruit that is open for Pick Your Own appointments: cherries, pluots, plums, persimmons, peaches, black berries and more! Genesis Organic Farm is also home to a host of friendly farm animals. Families who visit the farm will love interacting with our two pygmy goats Strawberry Shortcake and Lollipop. We also have farm cats, chickens and lots and lots of lizards. We also offer farm tours and field trips for those wanting to visit Genesis and learn about how we make this magic happen.
Keeping It Green
At Genesis, we aim to be stewards to the land. We want to give back what we take and create the most sustainable system possible for our area. We incorporate many practices borrowed from generations old organic farms and permaculture teachings. We are currently certified Organic under CCOF Organic Certifiers.
