HELLO! WELCOME TO ABALONE CREEK RANCH.
Welcome to Abalone Creek Ranch, a regenerative family farm nestled in the beautiful region of Monterey County. Our picturesque small town of Corral de Tierra has been called "the pastures of heaven" by author John Steinbeck, and it's easy to see why. The vast, green, rolling hills caress the ocean shore, and ancient oak trees define the landscape.
As caretakers of this land, we feel a profound respect for the natural systems that make it thrive. We are committed to working in harmony with nature to create a flourishing ecosystem where all species can coexist and benefit. Through regenerative farming practices, we aim to promote biodiversity and nurture the health of the soil. Our Navajo Churro sheep and chickens are under our care, protected by our resident llamas, Lucky and Kuzco. We hope to share their abundant resources with you soon in the form of meat, eggs, wool, and more.
At Abalone Creek Ranch, family, community, and self-sufficiency are at the core of our values. We believe in spending time together, working towards a common goal, and understanding where our food comes from and how it's produced. We seek to share our knowledge and learn from others, enjoying the abundance of our local resources through food, craftsmanship, and artistry. Whether it's gathering around the table for a meal, learning a new skill, or simply enjoying the beauty of the land, Abalone Creek Ranch is a place of connection and hope.
We're just getting started on this journey of regenerative agriculture, and we're excited to see where it takes us. We believe that by working together with nature, we can create a healthier and more sustainable future for ourselves and future generations.
