The future bouquets and special-occasion arrangements embedded in an eighth of an acre of the former parking lot at West Oakland’s historic 16th Street train station are grown and spring into full appreciable form courtesy of co-owners Linh Becker, of Piedmont, and Berkeley’s Jane Hammond. Hammond explains that the farm was originally part of WOW Farm and then GROW Oakland Farm and then became a small limited liability corporation.
“I told Linh we had something wonderful to do while everyone else was locked up indoors. It was almost on a whim. When Jess said she had to sell, Linh and I looked at each other, and I said, ‘Let’s buy it.’ At that point, we couldn’t let it go. We didn’t know each other well or know each other’s strengths. It’s astonishing how well we work together.”
“People love that the flowers are locally grown. We seed things at my house, plant them at the farm, nurture them, harvest them and deliver them with love. To share is great. We keep quite busy.” Customers can pick up orders themselves at the farm or a handful of other nearby locations. With the pandemic receding, Becker is pleased to see CSA subscriptions continue to increase.
“English people are all gardeners; it’s the fabric of life. There’s nothing more satisfying than having your hands in the soil and letting nature take its course. I can’t imagine not looking after my own little piece of land.”
