Carbon Farm Planning & Implementation
Development of a Carbon Farm Plan for Four Elements Farm in Atascadero, CA. The owners of Four Elements Farm also own the All Good skin care company. Four Elements Farm has 700 mixed fruit trees about half of which are citrus, a small market garden where they grow a mix of seasonal vegetables for the CSA farm box they provide to the All Good staff, and an acre of cut flowers. Four Elements Farm is managed by farmer, Courtney Mellblom who also owns and operates Farmermaid flowers. She grows calendula and other ingredients for All Good skin care products at the farm. The farm is uniquely located just west of the crest of the Santa Lucia ridge off of Hwy 41.
