City Farmz

Wasted my time driving there today to discover they are out of business. Their website makes no mention of this. sucks.

City Farmz is an absolutely incredible store! I was in the store in early spring and became inspired to do some canning once I my grandparent’s apricot tree had some fruit. I visited today and Karla was very helpful in getting me started and told me she’d be there for me if I needed help.
Sadly though, the store is closing due to a lease expiring. I wish you the best of luck. Thank you so much for your help.

SO sad I only just today discovered this place… On top of cool products for «suburban homesteading,» they are very knowledgeable. I instantly got a bunch of project ideas just by stopping by.
The shop fits in nicely in historic, old-​timey downtown Campbell. It’s the perfect mix of nostalgia and get-​your-​hands-​dirty practicality. Stop in while you can and check out their cool resources for gardening, canning, chicken-​raising, and more… And pretend you live in Santa Clara Valley circa 1945.

I love this place! The owner Karla, is as charming as her store.

I recently decided to take on backyard chickens after happening upon a nearby farm that was selling chicks. Well I got these guys home, and realized I had no idea what I got myself into. Luckily a google search turned up City Farmz, and Karla, the owner, was super helpful and imparted her knowledge and advice on how to incubate my chicks and raise them happy and healthy. Luckily she had chicks in the store that day, and she taught me a pro-​tip no one else mentioned — checking their «vents» regularly as this is a major cause of chick death! Oh also — when I was asking about coops, Karla mentioned the improvements she would recommend for the coop in their store — so to the negative reviewer below, I think that she wouldn’t sell the coop without making sure the customer knew it has some improvements to be made. She gave me a referral to a custom pro-​coop maker and I am working with him now.

Found this place right when they opened and have been coming here ever since.
Owner is great, super helpful, and willing to try and get anything you need if she doesn’t carry it. City Farmz has exactly what my chickens need plus all the extra fun stuff for my chickens they want — they love those dried worms!
Hours are great and location is very convienient. Thanks for opening this store!

SHAME on you. When I saw the little yellow doll house chicken coop out side in front of your store I thought it was a PROP. What kind of a callous human being would put even 2 birds in that small space and feel good about it. Are you dreaming? Chickens are pheasants that need a whole lot of scratch space; they are not plush toys or dolls that can just sit in your coops 365 days of the year and not go completely crazy. Ironically, (and even more insulting) you have a copy of Food, Inc on your counter that exposes the cruelty of factory farming, but you dont mind supporting cruelty on a small scale by selling bird cages for chickens that the Humane Society and the ASPCA would not approve of. Get a grip; go live on a REAL farm before selling your barbaric ideas to the general public. The portable chicken coop perfected by Joel Salatin of Polyface Farms, IS HUGE, pulled by a tractor, and used in fields. Most people in the US have no idea how to treat animals and selling them animal torture chambers that look like chicken coops is decieving no matter what your initial thought was. The only things your coops are good for are stuffed chicken dolls, not animals with real lives to live. Shame on you.

I recently decided to build a chicken coup and get some laying hens. A friend told me about this little place in Cambell. The owner if fabulous. I didn’t want chicks so she found me 6 month old chickens. They were healthy and laying eggs on day one. She has really good feed that is organic and if she doesn’t have something, she finds it and gets it to me. I am very happy I met City Farmz and now have a place to get all my supplies.

Found this new shop in downtown Campbell as I was wandering around on a sunny day when I should have been planting my winter veggie garden.
Just two weeks old, City Farmz is a modern mercantile packed full of supplies and ideas for the do-​it-​yourself urban homesteader. If you’ve been contemplating raising chickens, as I have, this is the place to come. Check out chicken coops, cute little chicks, and feed supplies – all inside a bright, welcoming mom-​and-​pop shop.
If you’d rather plant, can, pickle, or ferment your own cluck-​less food, City Farmz has how-​to books and everything you’ll need to get started. Owner Karla says classes are even in the works, starting in 2013.
And if you like the idea of urban farming but would rather spend time shopping for cute gifts than composting, City Farmz had an adorable selection of homey, farm– and garden-​related gifts. Get your farm-​to-​table restaurant-​loving foodie a windowsill veggie garden kit, and maybe you’ll inspire him to start cooking at home with his own homegrown ingredients.
Guess where I started my Christmas shopping?
