Grandpa Nick, summer of 1948
History of the Ranch
We are a fifth generation California family farm specializing in organic dried fruit. Our farm was established in Santa Clara County the summer of 1921.
We have been growing and drying fruit organically in the sunny Santa Clara Valley at the base of the historic Gavilan Mountains since 1976. We grow most of our crops in the rich alluvial soils from these mountains.
We became certified organic in 1986. The quality of our organic dried fruit is second to none. Our family farm was one of the first to grow and dry fruit organically in California. We pioneered and improved many of the modern methods for producing high quality dried organic fruit.
