"Sustainable Growing Since 1984"

Ranui Gardens continues to grow fresh produce, cut flowers and herbs for our local markets. We have been sustainably growing, using methods set forth by Rudolf Steiner, since 1984. "Ranui" (Pronounced Rah–New–E) means "the place of the Sun God."

Flowers – We grow flowers for fresh cut arrangements for both farmer's markets and private functions. Come see us at the markets or email Sue for information about your wedding or other private function.

Community Supported Agriculture – To add your name to the 2010 mailing list email Ranui Gardens.

Ranui Gardens brings you Community Supported Agriculture for a tenth season in 2009. Our program caters to residents of Summit County, specifically the Park City area, and the Coalville and Kamas valleys. We have no drop-off locations outside of Summit County. We deliver seasonal produce to our members for 15-20 weeks during the main growing season (June -October). Each weeks produce is accompanied by two recipes pertaining to the contents of the box. Recipes are written by CSA member, vegetarian and Deer Valley Executive Pastry Chef, LettyFlatt - visit her web site at http://chocolatesnowball.com/.

Ranui Gardens is located between two of the great ski ranges of the world; nestled at the western end of the Uintah mountains looking west to the Wasatch Range. Located in Summit County, Utah, we freeze every month of the year and still manage to run a commercial herb and vegetable farm supporting 20 CSA members, grocery stores and restaurants in the surrounding communities. We grow fresh culinary and medicinal herbs, vegetables, and flowers. We love punishment, that is why we became farmers. Although the hours are non–stop through the summer, we get all winter to ski and surf.

"We promote a healthy farm through composting, cover crops, crop rotation, compost teas, plant teas, and the Biodynamic preparations. We have been employing these methods since 1984 and continue to be Utah’s leader in sustainable growing techniques. We have never used any chemical fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides on our farm, ever! When you eat our veggies you can taste the difference and it’s all due to twenty plus years of good growing practices and a little love and attention from the grower."

We are looking for part-time help for the 2009 season. We seek motivated, responsible people who have a genuine interest in learning about sustainable farming practices and Biodynamics. Our needs include mostly packaging greens for market and weeding. We are flexible, easy going folks but expect hard work and commitment. All help will enjoy the freshest, most wholesome vegetables, herbs, and flowers one could imagine. Email us if you are interested.
