Rusty Top Farm

Today, we remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the first responders, service members, families, and communities forever changed by that day.

For many veterans, 9/11 also marked the beginning of a generation of service. We remember those who answered the call, those who never came home, and those who continue to carry the weight of that service today.

And today, we also want to offer a reminder to our fellow veterans: your service matters.

If you left the military and never found that sense of service again, look around your community.

Reach out to another veteran.

Find the farmer veteran down the road.

Walk into a local veterans organization.

Ask about the benefits, resources, and services you earned through your service.

You do not have to navigate life after service alone.

Get connected. Know your benefits. Find your community. And when you can, be that connection for another veteran.

At Farmer Veteran Coalition of California, we believe agriculture can be one of those places where veterans find purpose, connection, and a community that understands service.

We remember. We honor. We continue to serve.

🍌 Free Banana Pups – Rusty Top Farm

Well… we planted these bananas thinking they were going to stay a little more on the dwarf side. Turns out they had other plans. 😂 They’ve gotten a bit taller than we want for the space, so we’re relocating them.

We have 4 banana pups available for FREE to anyone who’d like to give them a new home.

We’re honestly not sure of the exact variety, so just know these probably aren’t the little dwarf bananas we originally thought they were!

🌱 4 pups available
🍌 Variety unknown
💚 Free to a good home

A quick order going out from Rusty Top Farm today: fresh comfrey crowns ready for planting.

Our comfrey crowns are small rooted starts with roughly an inch of root and an inch of new growth. We sell them through our eBay page to help support the work we are building here on our small, veteran-owned urban farm in Brea, California.

Nothing goes to waste. The larger roots can be used for propagation, and much of the leafy growth we cut is turned into our homemade liquid plant fertilizer.

We currently offer:

• Fresh comfrey crowns for planting
• Fresh comfrey roots when available
• Dried and powdered comfrey root
• Comfrey-based liquid plant fertilizer for local pickup in Brea

Some products are available through eBay or Facebook Marketplace, and local customers are always welcome to reach out directly.

Your support also helps us continue supporting the work of Vital Roots Foundation and its programs serving veterans throughout North Orange County.

Grown small. Used fully. Supporting a bigger mission.

FREE Aloe Vera Plants 🌿

We thinned out our aloe patch a couple weeks ago and have several plants available. They’ve been sitting in the shade and still look pretty good.

We’d love to get them into someone else’s hands today.
