Our goat herd trims the bases of fig trees and removes invasive berry brush for naturally healthy fruit trees.

When goats consume lots of mineral rich woody plants (their favorite foods!) they produce a very healthy meat while doing an excellent service to the land.

Berry bushes are an invasive species that choke out orchards and waterways in much of our area of California. Many conventional farms use herbicides to remove the brush. Goats love to do the job, chemical free!

Many of our historic Mission olive trees are approaching 100 years of age. These older olive trees make and exceptional oil.

Our Cheviot Sheep with their lambs on Spring Pasture

Our Sheep move from pasture to pasture in sync with the grass cycle.

On our farm, sheep are able to take advantage of the grasses in small pastures and stone fruit orchards that are not really feasible for use by cattle.

Piper, Pyrennes guardian dog, watches over ewes with young lambs in the lambing pasture. Guardian dogs protect sheep from predators.

Our cheviot sheep are a small breed that produces excellent quality meat. Here ewes move to a new pasture by heading down the road.

During winter in the orchards, the trees are at rest. The trees are pruned and brush is piled in the rows.

Baby Chicks are started indoors for their first two weeks of life.

While living indoors chicks are given fresh grass so when they get to the pasture they are ready to chow down.

Next the chicks move to green pasture for their growth phase.

Chickens for meat are moved to clean pasture twice per day to encourage them to eat as much grass as possible. The eating of healthy grasses adds omega 3 and CLA to the meat.

Our egg laying chickens live in and around an eggmobile. The eggmobile moves to fresh pasture once or twice a week.

Red Star laying hens enjoying the green grass. Our egg laying chickens visit each pasture only once per year therefore maximizing the amount of healthy bugs and seeds they can harvest.

Laying hens sleep inside the eggmobile at night. During they day they come in and out at will. The egg nests are also located inside the eggmobile.

Laying hens on pasture produce tasty and nutritious eggs.

Our goal is to produce the best in local fruits, meats, and olive oil for the health of your family and our ranch ecosystem
