Sisters Sarah and Anna Dozor are the owners and operators of Winter Sister Farm, located in south Sebastopol, CA bordering the Laguna de Santa Rosa on Coast Miwok and Southern Pomo land. The organizing goal of Winter Sister Farm is to provide food to our community during the cold, wet, dark time of California winter and spring. This is a time of year when many farmers in our area scale down or close up shop. But, in our (relatively) mild climate, a lot is still possible! Our farm offers folks the opportunity to still eat local, delicious, exciting food in the ‘off-season’ and hopefully fill a small gap in our local food system. Farming
for the winter does not mean we only farm
in the winter; we work hard all summer long to grow staple storage crops (like potatoes, winter squash, onions, beans) to stockpile and distribute in the colder months. We farm all 12 months of the year, but we are actively feeding people roughly November through May.
Our primary outlet and the beating heart of our farm is our CSA program, which feeds about 145 households. We also sell some wholesale and through our farm stand. We farm about 4.5 acres.
