Welcome to our 2-acre Latino-owned market garden.
De La Mesa Farms is a Latino-owned 2.5 acre farm located in the urban setting of Tacoma, Washington. Our farm is a regenerative, no-till market garden that focuses on organic methods to improve soil health and soil biodiversity.
I am committed to being good stewards of the land and think about farming as a way to preserve and perpetuate our own cultural heritage as well as the various native and cultural traditions in our community. Our mission is to offer fresh, diverse and affordable produce.
Despite the fact that everything is done by hand - no tractor, no till - we are always seeking ways to innovate and usher in a new generation of farmers.
As I head into 2026, we are also pursuing a long-time dream of opening a store front and commercial kitchen for value-added farm products from our heirloom corn to the community. From masa to tortillas, cornmeal & more, we are intent on sharing and making heirloom corn accessibe to our local communities.
