About Us

Started in the Fall of 2022, The Farm at Worman Mill is a small, family-run farm producing flower and vegetable starts, fresh produce, cut flowers, and microgreens for the mountain community. 

We are located in Ahwahnee, California in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Our 2.5 acres was once the homestead of Dan and Ruby Worman who farmed, had an orchard, and long-operated a saw mill powered by a pelton wheel.

About the Farm

Our mission is to increase access to locally grown food. 

While the Sierra Foothills are home to America's Backyard, Yosemite National Park, and its 5 million annual visitors, access to fresh, locally grown food is a persistent challenge for many residents. Healthy food is expensive and many households regularly drive more than 50 miles to Fresno or Merced to grocery shop. We want to be part of a solution to that problem in our community by encouraging more backyard gardening-- we think everyone can grow something to eat-- and helping increase availability of affordable produce with our market garden and microgreens. 

It's all about nutrition, nutrition, nutrition! 

What We Grow

Nursery Starts

We originally started by focusing on flower and vegetable starts. 

In 2025, we expand to limited wholesale nursery and look forward to further expanding our wholesale nursery accounts across the mountain area.

Fresh Produce

Mountain residents know that fresh, locally grown produce can be hard to come by. And when it is available it's often not accessible to everyone. Our goal with our market garden is to grow a variety of produce items and make them more and more accessible in our community. 

We started with just a few tomatoes and now grow vegetables on 1.25 acres at two locations with an eye on further expansion. 

Microgreens

We currently grow about 20 varieties of microgreens. Whereas most consumers recognize them from high-end eateries, often used as a garnish, our aim is to make microgreens available year-round as part of a healthy diet. 

Cut Flowers 

In 2025, we started a small cut flower farm in Ahwahnee. We're excited about the progress and look forward to expanding this in the future.

Animals

If you drive by or visit the farm you'll see that we are also building out our ability to have animals. We currently have rabbits, goats, ducks, turkeys, and chickens. 

Meet the Team

Adam and Kristen McLane

We're nerdy plant people.

Adam is more into vegetables and manages the greenhouse, makes sure all the seeds are sown and ordered and all the plants have water. He's also a weather and gadget geek who is fundamentally a little bit lazy, so he's always tinkering on ideas to make the process automated or easier, more efficient. 

Kristen is deep into native plants. So if you ever want to just geek out about plants, their Latin name, their life cycle, just strike up a conversation. Her love for native plant life is what drew us to this property on the edge of the Sierra National Forest. Around here Kristen keeps us organized and moving. 

Jackson

If you ever see us out and about you will no doubt meet Jackson, our fun-loving youngest child. Jackson is very helpful around the farm.
