Forni Farm and Nursery reflects the deep agricultural heritage of Miranda Forni and her family’s multi-generational farming roots in the Napa Valley. Established in 2018, the nursery builds on a tradition of working the land that began decades earlier. Her father, Peter Forni, co-founded Forni Brown Welsh Gardens in the mid-1980s, just after she was born. From a young age, she grew up with her hands in the soil, tending to the garden and enjoying fresh-picked vegetables year-round. Working alongside her father as a young adult, she learned the nuances of gardening and fostered a lifelong passion for the outdoors.

​

At the heart of her work is an unwavering commitment to quality. Every plant is seeded and grown at the nursery in North Santa Rosa using organic practices. The nursery is family run  and customer-oriented, and fosters  connections with gardeners who share a love for cultivating thriving gardens.

​

Though Miranda once considered teaching, her passion for farming brought her back to the soil. She now offers summer camp programs for children, including her two daughters, to share the joys of gardening and outdoor learning.

​

Miranda envisions her business as a community cornerstone, providing exceptional plants and produce grown with care. Her dedication to quality and her family’s legacy has made Forni Farm and Nursery one of Sonoma County's  trusted resources for gardeners and fresh food enthusiasts alike.
