We are a certified organic fruit & vegetable farm located in the Waddell Creek Valley on the northern edge of Santa Cruz County. The land we farm is on Rancho del Oso - the coastal area of Big Basin Redwoods State Park. The town of Davenport, CA is two miles south and we are about 1 mile inland from the Pacific Ocean.
We grow Tomatoes, Basil, Beans, Peas, Artichokes, Corn, Peppers, Lettuces, Radicchio, Fresh Herbs, Zucchini, Winter Squash, Melons, Flowers, Cucumbers, and Eggplant In the winter we use beneficial cover crops to hold soil in place, make habitat for insects and add to the soil's fertility. Our fresh harvested produce is distributed to the great restaurants and grocery stores of Santa Cruz, CA. Through a small network of wholesale partners, our harvest also makes its way to the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond..
The fruit tree orchard was planted by prior farmer Route 1 Farms (around 1990). From the orchard, you overlook the coastal flood plain of Waddell Creek. The trees consist of Hass Avocados, Apples (Rubinstar, Gala, Pippin, Gravenstein) , Plums (Santa Rosa, Mariposa, Satsuma), Pears (Comice, Red Bartlett, Green Bartlett), Red Haven Peaches, Blenheim Apricots, Meyer Lemons & Eureka Lemons and Protea Flowers. We maintain the orchard and distribute the fruit throughout the local Santa Cruz community.
