Four Generations, One Soil

Returning to Our Roots

Our great-grandfather came from the Azores in 1906 with a simple purpose: to care for the land. Today, we honor that legacy by farming regeneratively—using sheep, cover crops, and soil health to grow food we are proud to feed our children and yours.

Rooted in tradition. Growing for the future.

What We Grow

From Our Orchards to Your Table

Each season brings its own harvest. We’re proud to grow crops that reflect the heart of California’s Central Valley.

Farming for the Future

Experience Regenerative Farming in the Heart of the Central Valley

Our purpose is to go back to our roots — using many of the same growing techniques our great-great grandparents relied on — while thoughtfully adapting them for today.

By focusing on regenerative farming practices, we build healthier soil, which leads to healthier trees and ultimately produces healthier food for our community and future generations.

People love us

“I wish more farms would offer U-Pick and Farm Tours like this and that the public would respect the grounds to keep them preserved, so more farms would be open to doing so.”

“Thank you. My daughter absolutely loved your U-Pick. I’m glad you had this, so I can show her how we grow and harvest our foods more hands on than the farmers markets and grocery stores and just grabbing at convenience.”
