Our Story

Heart Seeds is a two-acre farm tucked into the hills of Pauma Valley, at the edge of San Diego County.

Stewarded by Chef Perla and her multi-generational family, the orchards are home to a diverse collection of citrus varietals, alongside seasonal pomegranates, mulberries, and heirloom pumpkins.

Our work centers on restoring the soil while creating experiences that bring people closer to nature and to each other. It’s a space where community gathers outdoors, learns new skills, and reconnects with the land.

More than an orchard, Heart Seeds is a living space rooted in regeneration and nourishment.

REGENERATION

We practice regenerative farming to re-energize the soil, planet and people. By working with the land rather than against it (with no chemicals or pesticides), we aim to rebuild vitality from the ground up, creating food that is more nutrient-dense, resilient, and alive.
