Bryerly Farms is a family-run organic vegetable, herb, and horse farm. We use no pesticides or herbicides because holistic organic farming creates happy food, people, horses, and the planet.

We are located in Walnut Creek, CA., one block from Mt. Diablo State Park. We enjoy horseback riding in the arena and out on the beautiful trails. Bryerly Farms is a Certified Wildlife Habitat® and a sanctuary location for rescued American wild horses.
