The Land

Our ranch is located in Marshall, on the east shore of Tomales Bay, with views of Point Reyes and the Pacific beyond. We benefit from the Northern California’s coastal air conditioner; for much of the summer we are shrouded in fog that produces cool days that keep our sheep very happy.

Our ranch is part of the Marin Agricultural Land Trust, which was the first land trust in the United States dedicated to preserving farmland and keeping it in productive agriculture.

Our 800 acres are grazed by beef cattle owned by a local rancher, as well as our dairy sheep, and with the help of MALT and other agencies, we have undertaken a variety of stewardship projects to maintain the health of the land and the quality of the watershed. We use no chemical fertilizers or herbicides on our ranch.
