Oya Organics
Hollister, CA
Marsha Habib founded Oya Organics, a small diversified organic farm in Hollister, CA, and steadily built her business through farmers markets, a CSA program, restaurants and wholesale clients. With the help of her partner, Modesto Sanchez Cruz, and his family, she now runs a fully diversified farm with about a dozen employees (also considered partners and family). They rotate between 50 annual crops such as tomatoes, brassicas, beans, peppers, greens and more. Oya's mission remains close to social justice, with a keen awareness of the human aspects of sustainability.
Oya Organics is a part of an ongoing partnership between Good Eggs and Kitchen Table Advisors (KTA), focused on helping to support the diverse next generation of sustainable small farms and ranches that feed the Bay Area. KTA is a Bay Area-based non-profit offering farmers and ranchers in Northern California business advising and practical financial tools. They work primarily with individuals who are social and environmental change-makers—in particular, female farmers, immigrant farmers, and farmers of color. Together with KTA and Oya Organics, we are fueling long-term economic viability for our sustainable food system and providing a critical market connection to hungry eaters who are passionate about good food.
