About
Pauline's has two certified organic gardens, one in Berkeley and another at our Star Canyon Ranch near Angel's Camp in the Sierra Foothills.
For nearly twenty years, our garden on Rose Street in Berkeley has been the site of vigorous year-round cultivation of greens and herbs. Plenty of room in raised beds is given to our staple heirloom lettuces such as Bambi romaine and purple galactic crisphead. Specialty seasonal greens include succulent tat soi and mache, micro beet greens and young lacinato kale. We also tame wild greens for our salads, and have had great success with miner's lettuce and delicate arugula sylvetta. In total, we grow about 40 types of greens throughout the seasons. The Berkeley garden is also home to many herbs–from rosemary to orange bergamot–which we use as pizza toppings and flavorings for ice creams and other delicacies. There is a bountiful Meyer lemon tree in the middle of the garden, and underneath the tree is a patch of fraises du bois, the tiny wild strawberries that in summertime find their way into our berry sundae.
