Get to Know

Our ranch is unique in that we have a wide range of micro-ecosystems on the property. From the riparian zones by our creek bustling with redwoods, amphibians, and fungi, to the drier oak forests, there are many sensitive species to consider when approaching responsible land management.  

​

Our work has included planting thousands of redwood seedlings, propagating them from cones we collect ourselves. Other California natives that we've been restoring include elderberry, yarrow, coffeeberry, toyon, oak, and more. We actively remove invasives such as fertile capeweed, poison oak, poison hemlock, and bindweed. ​Animals like our cows, chickens, and livestock guardian dogs play important roles in organic produce production, with regenerative techniques like rotational grazing. Our restorative land management approaches help to improve soil quality, increase pollinator abundance, and increase general biodiversity to create healthy, resilient ecosystems.

We aim to cultivate a community that prioritizes small-scale, local food production that can be feasible in today's market challenges, motivated by our desire to combat systemic issues in the American food system. Thus, our efforts have been pointed towards organic produce, pasture-raised animal products, and the advancement of agricultural technology. ​We're able to do that with help from sister companies we work closely with: Twisted Fields and Rotate8.
