3 Farm Spotlight: County Line Farm David Retsky started County Line Harvest on a six-acre plot on the SonomaMarin County line before moving over the hill in 2007 to Red Hill Ranch in Marin County. Shortly after settling in on the new property, Marin Agriculture Land Trust acquired the easement on Red Hill Ranch, preserving it forever as farmland. Not only did this new property provide more acreage for cultivation, but the abundance of renewable on-site water and the MALT easement helped ensure the continuation of County Line's goal to provide fresh produce to its surrounding communities. Over the years, CLH has developed a strong relationship with Greenleaf. We couldn t be more proud that Greenleaf s commitment to the farm has provided the support needed to sustain the farm and business.
