Rugged Roots Farm in Plumas County

A 2.5 acre regenerative farm feeding residents and visitors of Plumas County since 2019.

We grow fruit, veggies, herbs and flowers and offer weekly farmstands and u-pick opportunities June through October. Rugged Roots Farm is located in Quincy, CA, in a beautiful valley on the banks of Spanish Creek. We use regenerative agricultural practices including cover-cropping, pollinator hedgerows, composting and mulch, and have several no-till zones to build soil health and reduce emissions. Rugged Roots is a “learning farm” for education, workshops and workforce training programs.
