Solman exists as an extension of what nature has to offer. This is celebrated by providing living wheatgrass and sunflower sprouts, alongside delicious fruit trees, across the coastal paradise of San Diego, California. Our farm is CCOF Certified Organic. We pay attention to nature and grow our own compost. This is a warm invitation to see, and taste, the difference ☼
Our wheatgrass is delivered throughout San Diego County and upwards into LA and Palm Desert. It's possible you've seen us at your local natural grocer or juice and smoothie bar.
While we focus on fruit trees that are easy to grow, we also specialize in sub-tropical varieties as well.
Co-inhabiting our property, serving as a reminder of natures seasons and cycles, various epiphyllum flowers can also be found for viewing pleasure.

Solman Wheatgrass is a one acre farm located in Leucadia owned and operated by Mark Bakula. Mark uses rich compost nourished in redwood bins which provide the right moisture and air to aid microorganism growth. Mark points to this healthy compost as to why people say that his wheatgrass looks and tastes better than others on the market. The organic farm’s mission is to deliver the freshest food nature has to offer.
For many locals, Mark Bakula is to wheatgrass what Paul Ecke is to poinsettias. Wheatgrass is considered “the life-blood of any good cleanse and the most complete food on the planet today, explained expert and grower Michael Bergonzi of Optimum Health Institute in San Diego.
“Mark was one of the originators of wheatgrass in Southern California,” he said. “He was also one of my teachers.”
“I’ve been in the business for 20 years and Mark’s probably been doing it for 30,” he said. “His wheatgrass is probably better than mine.”
Also known as “Solman,” meaning “Sun Man,” Bakula said his customers are baffled why his wheatgrass seems to taste better than anyone else’s.
Michael would like to thank a few growers that helped him back in the beginning to become the number one wheatgrass grower in the country… Mark Bakula, AKA Solman in Leucadia, California.
Personal note from book author Viktoras Kulvinskas, who Mark had personally met circa 1996:
“Keep up the good work Mark — you have super good grass.”
“Wheatgrass is the cosmic plasma of total rejuvenation. It has the composition of all the micro-nutrients that would be found in the perfect born being. Continuous daily use via mouth, skin, colon implant, eye, nose will nourish and bring youthfulness to ones being.”
“It will protect you from radiation, environment chemicals, fat, crazy vibes, lead you in the path of righteousness, and with living food and intermittent fasting, offers a life that is everlasting. Love Viktoras.”
