About Us:
We are a certified organic cut flower and herb farm growing on 1-acre in Encinitas, CA. We focus on growing quality products utilizing regenerative practices and creating a beautiful, inviting space for visitors. The land we grow on is leased from the Encinitas Union School District (EUSD) and we share facilities with them including their walk-in cooler and restrooms. At BeeWorthy Farms we work carefully, as a team, to create an intentional, courageous, and harmonious workplace that supports a profitable and sustainable business. We each commit to the Community Agreements of BeeWorthy Farms.
Farm Philosophy:
The team thrives when individuals are self motivated, accountable and self-aware. We collectively build a positive work culture at the farm, and this requires each individual to be able to take responsibility for their own well-being. Open communication is a critical aspect of our team dynamic and we must be able to be open and honest with one another, utilizing emotional intelligence to give important feedback in a kind, direct, and meaningful way.
There is a strong emphasis on getting the details right and accurate; completing work; and hitting targets, schedules and deadlines. We value providing our customers with extremely high-quality and well-cleaned products but always work to balance this with remaining effective and conscious to the time spent on a given task.
We got into farming because we love spending time working in nature and treasure sharing that love with our crew. We know we can all get overwhelmed by farm responsibilities at times, but try to keep things light anyway. Kindness is one of the most important values at our farm. We appreciate folks who can show up with a positive attitude no matter the task and don’t take things too seriously. We love celebrating victories and successes together. We think the farm should be a joyful place to spend our days.
